Greetings,

Although there is no corresponding converter with exact topology as in the figure you attached available in Typhoon HIL, you can use a Three Phase T-Type converter instead. If controlled in the proposed manner, this converter should operate in the same way.

To operate the Three Phase T-Type converter in the same manner as NPC with RB-IGBT, gate drive signals would have to be assigned to the following switches:

NPC T-Type converterNPC with RB-IGBT
  • GDS for NPC RB-IGBT T1 should be assigned to NPC T-Type S_1
  • GDS for NPC RB-IGBT T2 should be assigned to NPC T-Type S_4
  • GDS for NPC RB-IGBT T3 should be assigned to NPC T-Type S_3
  • GDS for NPC RB-IGBT T4 should be assigned to NPC T-Type S_2
Hope this helps!
