Abstract

The invention solves the problem caused by variations in power semiconductor elements connected in parallel and provided in the power conversion device. The power semiconductor device includes a determination unit for determining the duration time of the on state of the gate signal of the power semiconductor element, a storage unit for storing the characteristics of the power conversion element ofeach power semiconductor element, and a control unit that performs equalization control of switching speed and equalization control of conduction current of each power semiconductor element. The control unit performs equalization control of the switching speed of each power semiconductor element based on the characteristics of the power conversion element stored in the storage unit, and performsequalization control of the conduction current of each power semiconductor element based on the characteristics of the power conversion element stored in the storage unit when the determination unit determines that the on state continues for a predetermined time or more.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rate conversion device and a control method for a power semiconductor element. Background technique [0002] In recent years, inverter devices used as power conversion devices for converting DC power to AC power, or AC power to DC power, have been required to have higher output densities, and have been reduced in size and weight. In particular, as the miniaturization of power conversion units integrated with components such as power semiconductor modules, capacitors, and bus bars on which power semiconductor elements are mounted, miniaturization and cost reduction of drive circuits for driving power semiconductor elements demand continues to increase. [0003] In addition, by installing multiple power conversion units that integrate components such as power semiconductor modules, capacitors, bus bars, and gate drive circuits, we strive to achieve common use of components and increase output capacity, thereby realizing the po...
