Cooling methods for medium voltage drive systems
Abstract
In one aspect, a medium voltage power converter includes a cabinet having: a power cube bay to house a plurality of power cubes, each of the plurality of power cubes adapted within a corresponding enclosure and comprising a low frequency front end stage, a DC link and a high frequency back end stage, the plurality of power cubes to couple to a high speed machine; and a plurality of first barriers adapted to isolate and direct a first flow of cooling air through one of the plurality of power cubes; and a transformer bay having at least one transformer to couple between a utility connection and the plurality of power cubes, the transformer bay including a plurality of cooling fans to cool the at least one transformer.
