Abstract
A scaled prototype for a MW level inverter for the power supply of a new Ground Based Radar System for Theater Missile Defense has been designed and tested. The full scale inverter is specified to supply 3-phase, 60 Hz AC power at 4160 V with a continuous power level of 1 MW. In order to achieve this high output voltage in an IGBT switched inverter without the use of a transformer, a 3-level inverter topology, called a Neutral Point Clamped Converter (NPCC) was used. The design rating of the scaled prototype was 100 kW. Experimental results show representative waveforms for voltage and current and describe a test setup for regenerative high power testing using 2 coupled induction machines.
