FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IC3600AIADICID is a Voltage Level Converter Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark I and II Series used in GE Speedtronic Turbine Control Systems. This logic level converter board module translates the logic level between two signals. For example, it converts a 5V logical signal into a 3V logical signal, enabling communication between devices with different operating voltages.

The output is therefore not a pure sine-shaped AC wave but a pattern of high-frequency rectangular pulses designed to approximate the sine wave as accurately as possible (see 1c). One analogy is a digital photograph taken at low resolution. The photograph does not accurately represent the object because the limited number of pixels restricts the level of detail that can be captured. Similarly, the ability to approximate an ideal sine wave with rectangular pulses is constrained by the number of available voltage levels. Unlike the photograph, the differences are not merely aesthetic: the non-ideal sine shape produces harmonics (currents and voltages at higher frequencies), which can cause issues ranging from stress on motor insulation and bearings to interference with other equipment. Harmonic filters can be employed to smooth the output by absorbing problematic harmonics, but they add cost and contribute to additional losses.

HIGH SIGNAL INTEGRITY AND PROTECTION:

The DC supply is identical to that of a three-level NPC converter. Cell 1 in 2b is clearly similar in its topology to an NPC three-level converter 1b. Similar to such a circuit, the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) switching devices in cell 1 are rated for half the DC link voltage. Because the additional capacitor is charged to a quarter of the DC-link voltage, the IGBTs in cells 2 and 3 are rated for this lower voltage. Using devices with lower ratings contributes to the simplicity of the converter. The elegance of the design becomes even more apparent when it is considered that it requires only one additional capacitor per phase compared to an NPC three-level converter. The converter provides full four-quadrant functionality (power can be converted in both directions).

INPUT AND OUTPUT PERFORMANCE:

The rectifier performance is illustrated in Figure 8. The five-level inverter delivers a nine-level phase-to-phase voltage to the motor. Typical voltage and current waveforms are shown in Figure 9. The new five-level inverter produces an output that closely approximates a sinusoidal waveform and meets the requirements for driving motors designed for direct-on-line (DOL) connection without derating.
