Abstract :
The total losses of a frequency converter are calculated by using a fast fixed-step circuit simulator. A simple model for calculating the frequency converter total losses at different operating points is presented. Direct torque control (DTC) is applied as the control method of the converter. The simulated converter losses are verified by measurements.
