4 FAQs about Vienna inverter cabinet exchange for mining

What is Vienna rectifier power topology?

The Vienna rectifier power topology is used in high-power, three-phase power factor correction applications such as offboard electric vehicle (EV) chargers and telecom rectifiers. Control design of the rectifier can be complex. This TI Design illustrates a method to control the power stage using C2000TM microcontroller (MCU).

What is a Vienna Rectifier?

Though many topologies exist for active three-phase power factor conversion, a Vienna rectifier is popular due to its operation in continuous conduction mode (CCM), inherent multilevel switching (three level), and reduced voltage stress on the power devices. Traditionally, hysteresis-based controllers have been used for Vienna rectifiers.

What is a Y-connection Vienna Rectifier?

A Y-connection Vienna rectifier is implemented in this TI Design. With this design the aim is to provide an example of how to control a Vienna rectifier and how to tune the different loops using the C2000 MCU. The three-phase vienna rectifier key power specification are given in Table 1. Table 1. Key System Specifications

Does sine triangle PWM work for Vienna Rectifier control?

Only recently have sine triangle-based PWM been shown to work for Vienna Rectifier control. This control can be quite challenging to design. Several variants of Vienna rectifiers exist, Figure 1 shows the variant of the Vienna rectifier chosen in this design along with the key voltages and currents being sensed.
