Patent number: 11990834Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a three-phase inverter on a three-phase load. The three-phase inverter has a direct voltage intermediate circuit, at least one three-phase bridge circuit, and at least one control unit for controlling the bridge circuit. In the at least one bridge circuit, at least two power switches per phase are provided, which are connected in series parallel to the direct voltage intermediate circuit. Depending on predefined target voltage values of the three phases of the inverter, the power switches of each individual phase are actuated via the control unit such that a three-phase alternating voltage is generated on the three-phase load via switching operations of the power switches. Very good dynamic control behaviour can be achieved despite cost-effective dimensioning of the IGBT power switches of the three-phase bridge circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: KK Wind Solutions A/SInventors: Jörg Kretschmann, Stephan Engelhardt
