The high-power switches are the most critical component in the inverter as they control the flow of current to the motor to generate motion. As such, the switches' are monitored and protected by sensing their temperature, voltage and current throughout their operation.
A high-voltage full bridge inverter works by converting the DC voltage V1 to a high-frequency square wave AC voltage. This AC voltage is then supplied to a 20kHz frequency high-voltage transformer T1, which, after the boost rectifier, provides power to the load. The inverter high-voltage full bridge drives the routing components and the IGBT power modules.
The main circuit of an inverter includes an inverter DC power supply, IGBT bridge inverter, protection circuits, high frequency high voltage transformers, and high frequency high voltage silicon stack (Rectifier).
