E.Le Floch ntroduction Power Electronics often requires very low inductive interconnections. a simple sheet. Fig. in this latter case. some interesting design rules are given. on the example of an industrial busbar. Then. To compensate this unbalance. 3. Influence of the shape of the cross section of the sheet on its partial inductance. This «simple» assembly of copper sheets is intended to link several points of the structure. The example of Fig. it can be shown that a flat conductor exhibits a smaller inductance than a massive one (Fig.Guichon (1). PEEC method uses integral formulations. This part of a power electronics converter seems obvious to design. This property. Example of two single sheets to achieve a parallel association of two IGBTs (Branch1 – B1. Indeed. and the Ms12 value may be very large. in the case of two paralleled IGBT modules. especially the one of Branch1. multilayer busbars will be investigated. Two Layers Busbar Even if a copper sheet is less inductive than conventional wires. Some small changes during the mechanical design. … and often to achieve series or parallel association of these devices.Ms12. taking advantage of the large coupling between the sheets. in order to confirm the conclusions of the simulations.Pasterczyk (3) . However. This study will be achieved using simulations. The effect of the number of layers. An interesting property of holes and various apertures in conductors is as follows: the effect of a hole on the inductance value can be very different if it is located in the middle of the sheet. Another interesting point of this strong coupling is that it provides an important immunity related to external magnetic interferences. of the position and shape of all necessary holes and apertures will be studied. and impedance of the interconnection.Adapted Solutions. the stray inductance). or near the edges. When using a simple copper sheets. it may be seen in Table 1 that if the current is well balanced. may lead to dramatic increase of the stray inductance. Comparison without and with the aperture. economical constraints can lead to modify the first geometry proposed by electrical engineers. linked to the modification of the external field.

Inductance values of Branch1 and Branch 2 path. when going outside the electrical engineering to enter into the mechanical design… The Most Basic Busbar The role of a busbar is to link several points of a power electronics converter: capacitors. which avoid the meshing of the air. Thus.SOFTWARE>> -8- Busbar Design: How to Spare Nanohenries ? Simulations with InCa. 2. The aim of this paper is to start from the most basic busbar. however. As a conclusion. with the increase of the amount of copper. volume also brings an impedance reduction. Indeed. The most common solution to reach stray inductance values around some tens of nanohenries and even below is to use a busbar structure. 1.67% 155nH Branch 2 49. the two plates «see» nearly the same magnetic field. apertures in the sheet can be machined. M. the next step is to use two close sheets: it allows to reduce the inductance. which induces more or less the same voltage: therefore.Martin (1). In this example.Schanen (1). which may be useful to avoid the degradation of the electrical properties of a busbar (e. as illustrated in the example of Fig. using InCa and PEEC method (Partial Element Equivalent Circuit). 4 CEDRAT. It is clear that the overlap between the two conductors is a key point to reach low inductance. 1). and Branch2 – B2).Arpillière (2) . this is not so simple: mechanical considerations. for larger sheet thickness. which has shown a great ability to handle all complex structures of power electronics. 2 illustrates this effects. J. it can be shown that inserting a hole in the middle of a copper plane has less repercussion on its impedance than machining apertures on the edges. thermal and mechanical behaviour are improved.Y. J. Indeed.33% 157nH Table 1. in this case. Simulations have been carried out at 1 MHz. since there is a need of three different potentials in this application (DC Bus and output phase). 6.MAGSOFT Corp .1 LEG. To investigate this possibility. 3 MGE UPS SYSTEM. and implies many mutual couplings. Fig. one with the complete geometry. for braking purpose. If the use of two layers busbars reduces drastically the inductance. from electrical engineers. Unfortunately. The signification of this matrix can be explained as follows: the inductance L11 is obtained when feeding loop V1 with a current.9 estimated) is correct.024 if the two sheets are replaced by two busbars. using two paralleled IGBTs.6 nH vs 19. using a three phases rectifier. 6 contains all the interconnects for this application. In the same idea. is described in Fig. V2 and V3). what is high compared to the result of the ideal case of Fig. some «small» modifications can be noticed: additional holes have been added by mechanical engineers. Due to the dissymmetry of the power bus location (on the bottom of the busbar in the figure). This is due to the current path. the problem of current repartition between all components connected to the busbar may still be present.CEDRAT . which is very different in this geometry. but takes no advantages from the overlap between arrival and return path . Even if these additional conductors do not participate to the switching cell. or 2 and 4) is in the range of 80 nH. 4 (more or less the same dimensions). the capacitors (connected between the black plates and the grey and cyan ones) have been short circuited.January 2007 .CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES .Arpillière (2). The current source is a rising current. JL. Current repartition between the four IGBTs.05% 53.25% 50. . The rest of the paper will thus focus only on the three «actives» sheets of copper: the DC Bus (cyan and grey) and the capacitor interconnection (black).01% 49. and the best geometry would be a three layer busbar. 2 Schneider Toshiba Inverter Europe (STIE). 8.Pasterczyk (3). For instance. which links a rectifier to the inverter (feeding the DC bus). 5: Two layers IGBT busbar for inverter leg. Two layers busbar with identical external dimensions – Top: Perfect overlap results in a low inductance – Bottom: A not complete overlap implies a reduced mutual coupling and a higher loop inductance.1nH 81nH 88nH Table 3. carried out in a specific case: starting from a coupling coefficient of 0. Multilayer Busbar and Industrial Example Let us now consider an industrial example using a more complex multilayer busbar. It is the classical variable speed application. which implies a higher cost. 7). The first design of this busbar. This is illustrated in Fig. since the circuits have many common parts. and the other keeping the «active» plates only. However. a set of two conductors (yellow) forms an independent busbar.96 between two sheets. Another geometry would greatly reduce the inductance: in fact this busbar is a two layer technology. The results show the very little influence of the additional plates on the stray inductance of the busbar: the differences are less than 1%.Adapted Solutions. 4.95% 48.Clavel (1). (continued on page 10) N° 53 . and the additional module for braking circuit is connected to Vac. using another IGBT. like in Fig. This is in good coherence with the remark of section III: the influence of external conductors on the loop inductance of a busbar is weak. The order of magnitude of the measurements results (16. Table 4 shows the impedance matrix of the electrical engineers busbar. including an additional chopper. three sheets of copper are needed. it has no impact on the current repartition. This example shows how intuition is tricky in electromagnetism… Table 3 shows that the loop inductance of each path of the busbar (either through IGBTs 1 and 3.Guichon (1).99% with slits 49.

It is necessary to well know the behaviour of ferromagnetic materials which constitute “Iron” part of the circuit. (continued on page 15) N° 53 . In a second step.…) are realized with “copper” and “iron”. We use a ring which is equipped with two windings (field winding to magnetize the circuit and a measurement coil to read the corresponding flux density). Figure 3: Linear actuator axisymetric type. At a magnetic point of view. Moreover. (axisymetric shape is authorised by the SMC technology).A. Magnetic energy is at the origin of the magnetic force which will stand between static and moving part of the actuator. Among them. our results of characterization are in accordance with those indicated on the supplier data sheet (HOGANAS). Numerical computations were realized in 3D environment of FLUX to evaluate the magnetic force and the flux through the coil. Note that for more complex geometric shape. Energy is concentrated in air-gaps of the related magnetic circuit. that at magnetostatic condition. Three materials were considered: laminated FeSi. the data base of CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES is roughly composed of 20 materials. Amp-turns are injected thanks to copper and “iron” leads magnetic field and make energy conversion more efficient. synchronous generators. the expression of the global magnetic force is described by the following equation (1) where B is the magnetic induction in the air-gap. This time. the aim of these two parts is to drive the flux and to increase its surface density.14 - Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) and design of magnetic actuators. Important differences are noticed (fig. we analyzed the functioning of an axisymetric actuator (fig.

From there. a stainless steel and two SMC (Somaloy 500 and X Somaloy 3P). we considered an AC current source with a frequency varying from 0 to 400 Hz. regulation. it is necessary to reconsider the design of active parts of associated magnetic circuits in order to cumulate the potential profits on both technical and economical point of view. However. N° 53 .A. Thus. Cedrat Technologies S. To reach the best results. will enable us to take into consideration electrical and magnetic properties of materials and the shape of the 3D geometry. a great advantage is obtained from SMC. Figure 10: Performances of the MICA 40. we get a more efficient use of the matter. The high value of the resistivity limits eddy currents. Patrick MENEROUD.…) We can note that. Indeed. Thanks to that. correct criteria (with their weighting) have to be chosen. Figure 6: Resulting magnetic force. magnetic induction is established faster in the air gap. That can be more efficient to improve the behaviour of magnetic circuit. the great advantage of the SMC is linked with the variable modes (transient or AC steady states). You can see the performances we are used to get on the following figures (8 to 10). .CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES . Figure 8: CAD assembly of the MICA-40. four materials were considered: A carbon Steel. relative permeability of SMC (like X-Somaloy 3P) reaches a reasonable value. One more time. Acknowledgements: As a conclusion.CEDRAT . the response time for the magnetic induction diffusion in matter is decreasing too. (matter profit for example. Today. This time. Figure 9: MICA 40 (40 N – 3 mm)Force independent of frequency (thanks to SMC).15 - Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) and design of magnetic actuators. we computed the evolution of the magnetic force versus the frequency of the current source (figure 7). For the design of magnetic actuators. The parametrical study realized in 3D FLUX environment.Adapted Solutions. For continuous mode (magnetostatic mode). powered by a voltage source. is subjected to a voltage step. This will be true if the air-gaps of actuators we have to consider are sizeable. Finally. to introduce isotropic ferromagnetic materials such as the SMC inside magnetic actuators (linear or rotating). The electrical circuit linked to the control of the actuator (electrical source. We analysed the evolution of the field current (figure 5) and the magnetic force applied on the moving part (figure 6) versus time when the device. Grégory MAGNAC. To make this. the interest for the SMC is linked to the fact that they offer the possibility to realize complex geometrical shape.ELEKTRA>> . and the mechanical dynamic of the device will have to be modelled. for Somaloy 500 and X-Somaloy 3P. the results we get show a great advantage for the SMC materials. decreasing and skin depth is increasing. the high value of their resistivity makes the eddy current decreasing.

The response time of magnetic induction diffusion in matter is CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES thanks OSEO-ANVAR to have supported the development of the first Moving Iron Controllable Actuator developed in Cedrat Technologies. Figure 7: Magnetic force applied on the moving part versus frequency of AC source.…). we evaluated the impact of the AC steady state. it is possible and necessary to use tools and methods of analysis to consider the whole active parameters linked to the physical phenomena. The same for the corresponding magnetic force. Indeed. it is necessary to take into account all the previous aspects in order to get an optimized design at economic and technologic level. This is what Cedrat Technologies has done to develop its new Moving Iron Controllable Actuator (MICA) with SMC materials (MICA 40 and MICA 200). Then. we get a quasi constant magnetic force versus frequency (from 0 to 400 Hz). ELEKTRA>> SMC (1) . Inc. and high magnetic fields.co. Lisa SCHAERTL & Fred HAAS .16 - seminar met a great success !
