DC power for SGCT devices using a high frequency current loop with multiple current transformers

摘要

Motor drives and switch driver power systems are presented in which high frequency AC current (IHF) is provided through one or more cables (202) magnetically coupled with local driver current transformers (240), and the transformer secondary currents are converted to provide DC power to switch drivers of an active power converter stage (110a, 110b) in the motor drive.
