Title: Redesign of the SNS Modulator H-Bridge for Utilization of Press-Pack IGBTs

Journal Article · · Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation
OSTI ID:938631

The power conversion group at SLAC is currently redesigning the H-bridge switch plates of the High Voltage Converter Modulators at the Spallation Neutron Source. This integral part to the modulator operation has been indentified as a source of several modulator faults and potentially limits reliability with pulse width modulation operation. This paper is a presentation of the design and implementation of a redesigned switch plate based upon press-pack IGBTs.
