The laminated structure of the bus bar creates a high frequency capacitor that helps mitigate the noise propagation , , though this unintended filter is likely not enough to completely remove the issue. An unavoidable result of fast switching devices is the high frequency harmonics, termed Electromagnetic Interfer-ence (EMI) .
The most common and easiest connection method for a capacitor onto a bus bar is a screw or bolt on connection. Soldering or spot welding connection methods can also be used, but they greatly increase the cost and complexity of the design. In sum, the bus bar design starts along with the power electronics converter design.
Since the detuning factor for the project was given as p=7%, one knows that the capacitor bank needs to be equipped with reactors. For this reason, some calculations have to be performed, in order to fit the power of the capacitors and its rated voltage taking into account reactive power of a detuning reactors.
To improve the current distribution, a bus bar with three sets of dc inputs is designed. It can be seen in Fig. 9(b) that dc inputs are distributed along one side of the bus bar and the current flow on the entire bus bar is balanced. Therefore, the current density analysis shown in Fig. 6 holds.
As illustrated by Fig. 9, DC current distribution is improved by splitting the positive and negative terminals in three. This reduces ohmic losses and evenly spread the heat across the bus bar, which reduces the hot spots. Typically, the bus bar conductors are sized for a 30 C self-heating temperature.
Resistance varies depending on the frequency of the AC current. The relationship between the frequency and the resistance can be obtained through simulation as well. However, the resistance of the bus bar is typically small and the amount of power loss is usually negligible compared to the total power loss of the entire inverter.
