Abstract
High power density medium voltage high speed electric motors for aircraft hybrid electric propulsion applications often require high output fundamental frequency from the power inverter. Conventional Si-based medium voltage drive has a switching frequency that is not sufficient to meet the dynamic and harmonic requirements for such application. A 'SiC+Si' hybrid three-level active neutral point clamped (ANPC) inverter has been developed as high-speed motor drive for hybrid electric propulsion. Single-phase and three-phase pump-back tests are performed to validate the power capability and basic control functions. The implementation and test results will be reported in this paper.
