3.12 Inverter Peak Power Capability

This reference design uses a 10A IGBT, which can deliver a continuous current of up to 6ARMS at a junction temperature of 125°C. The 6ARMS is an intermittent maximum current rating for the TIDA-010250 design. The continuous current capability of the inverter (which is ≤ 6 ARMS) is determined by the thermal design. The peak power capability (PPEAK) of the GaN inverter, assuming a 3-phase output voltage (VOUT) of 200VRMS and unity power factor (PF) is given by Equation 1:

Equation 1. PPEAK=3×VOUT×IOUT×PF=3×200×6×1=2078 W

PPEAK is the absolute maximum power the GaN inverter can handle - the continuous power rating of the inverter is decided by thermal design, peak ambient temperature, and overcurrent protection setting.
