Abstract

A commutation circuit (10) comprises a coil (70) connected to an H bridge (20), the H bridge (20) comprising four main switches (30, 40, 50, 60) for reversing polarity and a resulting coil current (IL) in the coil (70). The commutation circuit (10) further comprises a voltage source (110, 111) configured to generate a bypass current,and at least one auxiliary switch (140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280) for controlling the bypass current to thereby decrease a switch current through at least one of the main switches (30, 40, 50, 60). By generating an appropriate bypass current with help of a voltage source (110, 111), a switch current through a desired main switch (30, 40, 50, 60) in a leading state can be decreased and eventually brought to zero. Zero current in its turn enables the use of thyristors as main switches (30, 40, 50, 60) as it results in the thyristors to be turned off automatically. Furthermore, decreased switch current at the switching moment reduces switching losses even in different types of switches such as GTOs and IGBTs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a circuit for continuously reversing the direction of current flow in a coil. Background technique [0002] refer to figure 1 , the conventional commutation circuit 10 includes an H-bridge 20 with four main switches 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 . The coil 70 whose current direction is to be reversed is connected between the first output terminal 80 and the second output terminal 85 of the H-bridge 20 . The first input terminal 90 and the second input terminal 95 of the H-bridge 20 are connected to provide a constant cell current I DC The current source 100. The four main switches are properly operated so that the coil current I L Flow in the desired direction in the coil. For example, according to figure 1 , the first main switch 30 and the second main switch 40 are closed, and the coil current I L Flow is from left to right in the figure (positive direction 290). In order to reverse the coil current I L With flow from right to l...
