General topology facts ACS 2000 is based on a new 5-level VSI topology Different from existing 5-level topologies (ACS 5000) Main reason: requirement for transformer-less operation ACS 2000 topology combines two innovations for ABB MVdrives New innovative 5-level VSI topology (from ABB CRC) Dual switch HV IGBT technology ACS 2000 is exclusively available with an Active Front End (AFE) to support either transformerless design or simple 2-winding transformer design March 16, 2010 Slide 5
General topology facts 5-level topology chosen in ACS 2000 is an extension of the well-established 3-level VSI Main differences to 3-level VSI topology include Additional capacitor per phase phase capacitor NP diodes are extended by antiparallel active switches Active Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) Phase capacitor is charged to ¼ of the total DC-link voltage To provide an additional level in the output voltages To have equally spaced steps in the output voltage March 16, 2010 Slide 6

Protection against short-circuit Two Lines of Defense Fast short-circuit protection on semiconductor level If a gate-emitter voltage is applied during on-state (saturation of IGBT) a short circuit is detected and turned off. Protection firing on system level Thyristor crowbar located in the DC link is operated to discharge the DC link and phase capacitors. Subsequently protection firing (turning on all IGBTs) is initiated. Eliminates the possibility of IGBT explosion March 16, 2010 Slide 29
