Abstract: This paper provides a comparison of switch concepts for medium frequency (MF) medium voltage (MV) applications in the lower power range ( > 1 kHz). The comparison is based on measurements of actual discrete switches for hard-switched and ZVS forward topologies. It is shown that standard low power IGBTs in a scalable switch can be used to obtain the lowest losses and cost with the additional benefit of significantly higher possible switching frequencies.
