Tunning the snubbers
– If firing pulses to forced-commutated devices are blocked, only antiparallel
diodes operate, and the bridge operates as a diode rectifier. In this condition
appropriate values of Rs and Cs must also be used.
– When the system is discretized, use the following formulas to compute
approximate values of Rs and Cs,
where
– These Rs and Cs values are derived from the following two criteria:
• The snubber leakage current at fundamental frequency is less than 0.1% of nominal
current when power electronic devices are not conducting.
• The RC time constant of snubbers is higher than two times the sample time Ts.
– These Rs and Cs values that guarantee numerical stability of the discretized
bridge can be different from values of a physical circuit.
