Description

[Picture]

Implements a three-phase two-level MOSFET converter with reverse diodes. The gate input is a vector of three signals - one per leg. The upper MOSFET, connected to the positive dc level, is on if the corresponding gate signal is positive. The lower MOSFET is on if the gate signal is negative. If the gate signal is zero both MOSFETs in the leg are switched off.

You can choose between two different converter models:

MOSFET on-resistance
The resistance Ron of a conducting MOSFET, in ohms (_O_). The default is 0.
Diode forward voltage
Additional dc voltage V f in volts (V) between anode and cathode when a diode is conducting. The default is 0.
Diode on-resistance
The resistance Ron of a conducting diode, in ohms (_O_). The default is 0.
