Abstract
- The three-phase buck rectifier (3ph-BR) is suitable for applications where a voltage step-down function is required. In this paper, an improved 3ph-BR topology is proposed to reduce the voltage stress on the transistors. The freewheeling diode in the conventional topology is split into two diodes in series and the input neutral point is connected to the common point of the two diodes. With the proposed topology and the corresponding modified modulation scheme, the transistors only need to withstand the input phase voltage instead of the line-to-line voltage, bringing about the significant reduction of voltage stress. The proposed topology enables a more cost-efficient and flexible selection of the transistors. Experimental results have verified the validity of the modified topology and associated modulation scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
