Abstract

Abstract The control and monitoring data transmission conductors between the control board and the transistor conversion circuit are formed into a flexible flat cable whose intermediate part is wound on a single magnetic circuit to constitute a common mode inductance designed to compensate the disturbances affecting the printed circuit board due to the potential changes of the semi-conductors generated when switching takes place from the conducting state to the blocking state, and vice-versa.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 109 words
A static power converter, notably for an uninterruptible power supply system, comprising: a conversion circuit having a plurality of power semi-conductors, a control board for controlling the semi-conductors of said conversion circuit, means for supplying electrical power to the control board, all control and monitoring data transmission conductors between the control board and the conversion circuit being formed into a flexible flat cable or strand, whose intermediate part is wound onto a single magnetic circuit to constitute a common mode inductance, designed to compensate the disturbances affecting said control board, due to the variation of potential upon switching of the semi-conductors between the conducting state and the blocking state.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 109 words
A static power converter, notably for an uninterruptible power supply system, comprising: a conversion circuit having a plurality of power semi-conductors, a control board for controlling the semi-conductors of said conversion circuit, means for supplying electrical power to the control board, all control and monitoring data transmission conductors between the control board and the conversion circuit being formed into a flexible flat cable or strand, whose intermediate part is wound onto a single magnetic circuit to constitute a common mode inductance, designed to compensate the disturbances affecting said control board, due to the variation of potential upon switching of the semi-conductors between the conducting state and the blocking state.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 150 words
A static power converter, notably for an uninterruptible power supply system, comprising: a conversion circuit having a plurality of power semiconductors; a control board for controlling the semi-conductors of said conversion circuit; means for supplying electrical power to the control board; all control and monitoring data transmission conductors between the control board and the conversion circuit being formed into a flexible flat cable or strand, whose intermediate part is wound onto a single magnetic circuit to constitute a common mode inductance, designed to compensate the disturbances affecting said control board, due to the variation of potential upon switching of the semi-conductors between the conducting state and the blocking state; and a common power supply board connected to a main supply by power conductors, said power conductors being formed into a single strand wound onto a magnetic circuit to constitute a common mode inductance associated with the common power supply board.
