Building on its experience of high-performance, high-reliability devices for voltages above 3.3 kV, Hitachi ABB Power Grids is now expanding its product portfolio to lower voltages. This whitepaper examines the use of power semiconductors in a low voltage drive with the general architecture shown below: AC DC Supply M Grid DC AC Motor Frontend Machine- Line-side side converter conve
