How to choose a DC BUS capacitor?

The dc bus capacitor selection should be based on the current handling capability but not the voltage ripple in a battery-powered inverter drive system. The conventional design using multiple bulky electrolytic capacitors can thus be completely replaced with a single high-current film capacitor.

What happens if a DC BUS capacitor is not used?

Without the smoothing capacitor, C dc, the battery current I in equals the dc link current I dc, which is pulsating between 0 and the maximum load current. The figure indicates that the dc bus capacitor draws a current of I cap, which absorbs substantial high frequency current component from I dc, and thus smoothing out the input battery current.

What DC BUS capacitor is needed to absorb ripple current?

Therefore, the dc bus capacitor, C dc, shown in Fig, 1 is needed to absorb the above-mentioned ripple current due to the inverter switching that has ±V dc applied to the motor windings so that the battery current is a smooth dc, and a longer battery life can be expected. The ripple current absorption burden, however, is apparently shifted to C dc.

Why do high power traction motor drives need a DC BUS capacitor?

The dc bus capacitor in high power traction motor drives need to deal with the following problems: (1) the ripple current due to inverter switching, (2) voltage fluctuation due to the source lead inductance, (3) voltage transient due to leakage inductance and fast device switching, and (4) over voltage due to regeneration.

What is DC BUS capacitor ripple RMS current?

The capacitor current varies with different load current conditions. Fig. 13 indicates the measured dc bus capacitor current versus input dc current. As a rule of thumb, in this induction machine based traction motor drive, the dc bus capacitor ripple rms current is approximately 61% of the input dc current.

Can a DC-BUS capacitor be used in a 75 kW traction motor drive inverter?

Conventional inverter design sizing dc-bus capacitor based on voltage ripple is no-longer effective. In order to handle high current in high temperature environment, a low- inductance high-current film capacitor is proposed to replace the conventional electrolytic bulk capacitors for a 75-kW traction motor drive inverter.
