ELECTRIC POWER CONVERTER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

A power converter includes a plurality of semiconductor switching devices coupled in a parallel configuration and positioned proximate each other in an interlaced configuration with respect to a plurality of electrical phases. The interlaced configuration facilitates inducing an electric current flow through each semiconductor switching device of the plurality of semiconductor switching devices that cancels at least a portion of current imbalances between at least a portion of the plurality of semiconductor switching devices.
