4 Improving Simulation Performance Figure 4-5: A Circuit Containing Individual Forced Commutated Electronic Switches Cannot be Discretized In this circuit, the opening of the GTO forces a quasi instantaneous conduction of the freewheeling diode. If the circuit was discretized, the diode would be fired with one step delay, and the inductive current chopping would produce large overvoltages. However, for conventional converter topologies as in the case of the Universal Bridge, the switch interactions are known in advance. For example, in a six-switch IGBT/Diode inverter (Figure 4-6 following), opening of IGBT1 causes instantaneous conduction of diode D2 in the same arm. As the circuit topology is predetermined, it is possible to force firing of the diode in the same step that the IGBT opens. You should use a continuous method if you prefer to use individual IGBT and Diode blocks to simulate a complete inverter. 4-12
