Active Voltage Balancing of Series-Connected 1.7 kV/325 A SiC MOSFETs Enabling Continuous Operation at Medium Voltage

This article presents a medium voltage half-bridge circuit where 3.3 kV power switches are built with two 1.7 kV/325 A SiC MOSFETs series-connected inside power modules. Essence of this work is an active balancing method eliminating the voltage imbalances between the devices by means of gate signals...
