Parallel resonant dc link inverter arrangement and method

摘要

In the parallel resonant DC link inverter described in the specification, a DC voltage is applied to a plurality of semiconductor switches to provide an AC driving voltage for an AC motor by way of an LC tank circuit containing a nonlinear capacitance device having an antiferroelectric material as its dielectric. As a result of the increase in capacitance with increased voltage, the voltage peak of the link voltages produced by the circuit is reduced without a corresponding reduction in the volt-second product applied to the motor load.
