The use of non-linear capacitors improves the efficiency of turn-off snubbers for power electronic switches. The parameters for the determination of non-linear ferro-electric capacitors are discussed and a novel measuring method for the determination of the maximum operating voltage is suggested. The procedure to select ferro-electric capacitors is also discussed.
This paper researches differential mode (DM) conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) in rectifier. The DM interference source generated by power electronic switches is given. Based on experimental and theoretical analysis, the conducted EMI of a three-phase rectifier is studied systematically. The study shows that it changes with resistance loads in low frequency ranges, while in high frequency bandwidth, the effect of change of the resistance load on the DM EMI is not obvious. The validity of the models is confirmed by the measurements.
