DC-Link capacitors form
an essential stage in
power conversion for
many applications, but
accurately measuring
real-world parameters
such as the ESR and ESL
is critical to optimum
design.
DC-link capacitors are an essential stage in power conversion for many applications, including
three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) inverters, photovoltaic and wind power inverters,
industrial motor drives, automotive onboard chargers and inverters and medical equipment
power supplies.
When to and why use a DC-link capacitor
Where and why is a DC-link capacitor used? Figure 1 shows a drive system for an automotive
battery electric vehicle (BEV). The system includes a rechargeable bank of batteries to store
energy for the drive system, a three-phase inverter and an electric motor to provide traction.
The battery output voltage can be as high as 800 V DC.
This application, and those mentioned earlier, are DC-to-AC designs. They control the power
delivery to the load using power transistors (IGBTs or power MOSFETs) that switch high
levels of voltage and current at kilohertz frequencies. Switching topologies are inherently
efficient but generate a high level of electrical noise and voltage spikes during switch turn-off.
They also impose heavy transient current demands on the system DC supply.
The DC-link capacitor is located between the DC power source and the switching circuit.
Its purpose is to provide a more stable DC voltage, minimizing voltage dips as the inverter
sporadically demands heavy current.
The importance of accurate ESL/ESR measurement
The electrical response of an “ideal” capacitor is purely capacitive, but a real-world device also
has parasitic inductance and resistance.
