Compared to the conventional hard-switching inverter, soft-switching inverter is a feasible way to achieve both high efficiency and high power density. In order to design the key parameters of the soft-switching inverter, this paper proposes a measuring and modeling method of the dynamic losses including zero-voltage turn-off loss and magnetic core loss. The method concludes the way to calibrate the delay time of the voltage and current probe, the way to design the test platform, and the way to fit the measured values into mathematical models. Based on the proposed method, several typical IGBT modules are tested. Combining the test results of the magnetic core, loss breakdown and optimum design are implemented on the soft-switching inverter. In this paper, a 30 kW soft-switching inverter prototype is built based on the design. The experimental results prove the accuracy of the dynamic loss models, and both high power density and high efficiency are achieved.
