High voltage inverter de-energizing resistor

We have an area in our power network (380 kV) which confronts a high voltage profile exceeding the operating limits. The only option we have to reduce that voltage level is by de-energizing some 380 kV lines (although we have shunt reactors but not enough) which really bothers us for the reliability of the network point-of-view.

What is a braking resistor?

Description The braking resistors are for use with the MICROMASTER Vector range of inverters. They enable high inertia loads to be decelerated rapidly. During deceleration of the motor and load, excess energy is returned to the inverter and is stored in the dc-link capacitors.

Which EV traction inverter is best?

For EV traction inverter, more efficiency and right performance are key. While IGBT is ideal for cost-optimized drive-train, SiC demonstrates higher efficiency under WLTP partial load scenario. Infineon offers the best scalability in market between IGBT and SiC, allowing customers to freely choose the technology for their needs,

How do I connect a braking resistor to the Micromaster vector?

The braking resistor must be connected directly to the DC link of the MICROMASTER Vector via the inverter’s B+/DC+ and B- terminals. Connect the braking resistor into the system, as follows: (1) Remove mains power from the MICROMASTER Vector and allow at least five minutesfor the internal capacitors to discharge.

How does a resistor affect thermal dissipation?

By using a resistor as a thermal dissipation element the power rating is the main cost, weight, and size driver for the resistor. The power curve in Figure 3 shows that the power dissipation naturally decreases exponentially. Figure 4.

What happens if a DC-link voltage is too high?

This causes an increase in the dc-link voltage, which, if too high will trip the inverter. The inverter dissipates the excess energy to the externally-mounted braking resistor. The resistor case is manufactured from extruded aluminium to dissipate the heat generated during braking/deceleration.

How much power does a power resistor need?

Consequently, the power resistor must have a power rating of 625W, (see Figure 3 power at t = 0 seconds). This considers that the discharging circuit is used on a frequent basis, therefore Rload is not damaged and the surrounding board area does not overheat.
