1L LINE INDUCTOR

1L LINE INDUCTOR
The 5% impedance 1L Line Inductor has multiple
functions. 1L forms a low pass LC filter that filters the
pulsating DC from the AC to DC converter, to smooth
DC voltage. The inductance eliminates notches on the
incoming AC line. The inductance also helps protect the
SCR’s from high voltage incoming line transients, which
could damage them. 1L slows down the rate of rise of
current if an internal short circuit occurs, reducing the
potential damage caused by the short. 1L also reduces
the input current total harmonic distortion.
DC TO AC INVERTER
The DC to AC Inverter section converts the rectified
and filtered DC back to AC at the equivalent magnitude
and frequency to run a compressor at a specific speed.
Although a common DC Bus links the compressor drive
outputs, each compressor has its own inverter output
module. Each inverter output module consists of 6
IGBT’s (3 modules) and an IGBT Gate Driver Board,
which converts DC to a 3 - phase AC output. The IGBT’s
are mounted to the liquid cooled
designed to
take the heat away from the devices and remove it in
the condenser. The IGBT Gate Driver Board provides
gating pulses to turn the IGBT’s on and off.
Four compressor units utilize two DC to AC Inverter
Sections.

LAMINATED BUS STRUCTURE
The Laminated Bus Structure is a group of copper plates
sandwiched together that connects the SCR/Diode Mod-
ules, Bus Filter Capacitors, and IGBT’s. The purpose of
the Laminated Bus Structure is to reduce the inductance
that would be present in wiring or bus bars often used to
connect high voltage components in VSD’s. Removing
inductance in the circuit reduces the voltage spike that
occurs when the IGBT’s turn off. These voltage spikes
can potentially damage the IGBT’s.
