DC/DC
The current capability of the DC/DC converter is limited by two constraints. The first constraint is
the current rating defined in the rating plate of the power converter that defines the operating area
in which the CE and UL certification is valid.
Figure 45. Vacon power converter ratings plate and their corresponding values in DC/DC converter
circuit diagram.
The second constraint is the thermal limits of the power converter. There are two parts which are
thermally stressed in the DC/DC application:
•
The DC link busbars DC+ and DC- which are dimensioned according to I 1 of the DC/DC
converter.
•
The IGBT switches in the DC/DC converter due to high switching frequency.
There is a software current limiter in the DC/DC converter to ensure these constraints are not
violated. The combined effect of the constraints thus becomes dependent on the voltage levels on
the storage side and the converter DC-link according to the figure below. Formulas in the graph
show how to calculate the output current I

based on the current I

which is denoted as I
