Design considerations of a thirty-kilowatt, thirty-kilohertz, full-bridge inverter for application in a very-low-frequency communications system

Abstract

A thirty-kilohertz thirty-kilowatt full-bridge inverter design is presented. The inverter module forms an integral part of a very-low-frequency transmitter for a submarine communications application. Device selection and drive selection as well as testing data for inverter clamped mode of operation are presented.
