This paper presents a novel system prototype of auxiliary resonant DC link (ARDCL) assisted three phase double converter using IGBT power modules. In the ARDCL-based double converter, large current flows through the ARDCL circuit when the ARDCL circuit operates under heavier load current ranges. In addition to this, the gate pulse control timing sequences for switching power semiconductor devices used in the ARDCL circuit become more complicate actually.
The active auxiliary resonant DC link snubber circuit has advantage point of small load currents which flow through the ARDCL circuit and does not actually require the complicated timing pulse control implementation for switching power semiconductor devices. In this paper, the system configuration double converter circuit and its operation principle are described for three phase voltage source type double soft-switching converter with a single ARDCL snubber. For a 10kVA prototype double converter system, conversion efficiency can be improved in addition to noise terminal voltage is reduced up to 20dBuV in maximum in the switching frequency range of 500kHz or more in comparison with the conventional three phase hard switching double converter system.
