The Impact of Layer Number on Stray Inductance of DC-link Busbar in Power Converters

In high power converter design, low-inductance busbar connecting DC capacitors and power devices is the main concern to improve the quality of the whole power electronics system. This paper analyzes the impact of layer- number on the stray inductance of busbar taking a subway traction converter as example. The method of partial element equivalent circuit and the Q3D software are used to extract the stray inductance. The simulation and experimental results show that the stray inductance of three-layer busbar is lower than two-layer busbar with other same conditions.
