The subject of this article is a design approach of a two-level three-phase active front-end (AFE) converter with a power level rated at 20 kW and the DC-link voltage level of up to 800 V. By using discrete SiC MOSFETs characterized by low lead inductance and excellent dynamic properties it was poss...
