Research on stray inductance extraction method for large-size power capacitor
Stray inductance present in the commutation loop of converters significantly impacts power semiconductor devices.However,accurately extracting stray inductance from large-size power capacitors remains challenging.While the discharge method is the current standard extraction technique,it is unsuitable for capacitors containing multiple resonance frequencies.Leveraging the high accu-racy of the integral method in extracting stray inductance from busbars,an extension has been made to extract stray inductance from large-size power capacitors.Enhanced by a clarified error correction process,the results of the integral method are considered accurate.Despite the integral method yielding highly accurate results,it demands substantial testing resources,poses high-voltage safety hazards,and exhibits low efficiency.This paper presents a stray inductance extraction method utilizing an impedance analyzer,and provides a de-tailed explanation of the testing fixture and impedance compensation method.Comparing the results obtained from the impedance analyz-er with those from the integration method revealed an error of less than 7.3%,which proved the accuracy of the proposed extraction method.In addition,this method offers convenient measurement,strong reusability and high efficiency,without the risks associated with high-voltage testing.
