RECENT TREND OF INVERTER AND ITS CONTROL METHOD FOR ELECTRIC CAR

Inverters have made a great progress due to the development of power semiconductors. Smaller power convertors offer larger passenger rooms and higher productivity. Convertors on-board can be much smaller if 3.3 kV or 4.5 kV IGBTs and two-level converters instead of three-level ones. Smaller loss and smaller harmonics are always expected for convertors to enable self-cooling and avoid additional measures for EMC requirements. This paper introduces the inverters developed for the recent high speed Shinkansen trains.
