Abstract
A zero current transition (ZCT) approach for T-type 3-level converter is presented in the paper. Through State-Plane analysis of its voltage and current trajectory in 4 operation zones, a design guideline is developed. The proposal is verified in a 10KVA converter, which is a mini-model of 500KVA UPS product. Preliminary test result shows that diode reverse recovery is a big concern for such ZCT soft switching techniques. Countermeasures for reducing the impact of diode reverse recovery are tested and discussed.
