  • Abstract
    The paper gives an overview of the applications and worldwide markets of high power medium voltage drive inverters between one and one hundred megawatts. The available power semiconductors and the different inverter circuit topologies with their different properties, advantages and drawbacks are presented. Then the key features of the high power drive applications are discussed, and suitable converter types are identified. Finally, future trends of semiconductors, circuit types and motors are outlined.
