6 FAQs about [Capacitor busbar and leads]
How do you connect a capacitor to a bus bar?
The most common and easiest connection method for a capacitor onto a bus bar is a screw or bolt on connection. Soldering or spot welding connection methods can also be used, but they greatly increase the cost and complexity of the design. In sum, the bus bar design starts along with the power electronics converter design.
Why does a bus bar have a high frequency capacitor?
The laminated structure of the bus bar creates a high frequency capacitor that helps mitigate the noise propagation , , though this unintended filter is likely not enough to completely remove the issue. An unavoidable result of fast switching devices is the high frequency harmonics, termed Electromagnetic Interfer-ence (EMI) .
How does a bus bar conductor improve DC current distribution?
As illustrated by Fig. 9, DC current distribution is improved by splitting the positive and negative terminals in three. This reduces ohmic losses and evenly spread the heat across the bus bar, which reduces the hot spots. Typically, the bus bar conductors are sized for a 30 C self-heating temperature.
How to reduce the overshoot voltage of a busbar?
To reduce the overshoot voltage, the busbar inductance needs to be minimized by optimizing the busbar’s structure and layers or placing a low-impedance decoupling capacitor close to the power device to shrink the power commutation loop [37, 38]. A comparison of using a ceramic and film capacitor as the decoupling capacitor is investigated in .
What is a bus bar conductor sized for?
Typically, the bus bar conductors are sized for a 30 C self-heating temperature. The lower boundaries in bus bar design require: a minimum conductor thickness to prevent it from melting when the nominal current is applied and a minimum insulation thickness to sustain the intended operating voltage.
How is AC current distributed on a bus bar?
The AC current on the bus bar circulates between five DC-link capacitors and three IGBT modules, as a result, the experimental verification for AC current distribution can be implemented by examining the currents in each DC-link capacitors. The current in one of the capacitors is shown in Fig. 17a, while a zoomed in view is shown in Fig. 17b.
