In SRM driving, the current rate is directly related to the rate of switching device and in cost reduction, the Parallel switching operation is the alternatives because it has the smaller current rate through current division. There ire many investigations for the parallel switching operations to equaling the current division. However it remains many problems for practical usage. The reason Is that the switching characteristics are mainly relied on the different saturation voltage of each device etc. and these factors are not altered by a circuit designer. In order to compensate this problem, a proper resistance is experimently inserted to the switching device. But this method can not be the optimal solution. Therefore this paper propose a new parallel operation of SRM which uses a parallel phase winding to remove the traditional effect of switching device such as saturation voltage according to the division of current. Also the reliable and stable driving is improved through experiments and the detailed principles.

To apply the Power MOSFET to the high powerd circuits, the parallel operation of the Power MOSFET must be considered because of their low power rating. This means, in practical applications, design methods for the parallel operations are required. However, it is very difficult to investigate the problem of parallel operations by directly changing the internal parameters of the MOSFET. Thus, in this paper, the effects of internal parameters for the parallel operation are investigated using SPICE program which is often used and known that the program is very reliable. The investigation results show that while the gate resistance and gate capacitances are the parameters which affect to the dynamic switching operations, the drain and source resistances are the parameters which affect to the steady-state current unbalances. Through this investigation, the design methods for the parallel operation of the MOSFET are suggested, which, in turn, contributes to the practical use of Power MOSFETs.

Due to high power ratings and low conduction loss, the IGBT has become more attractive in high power applications. However, its slower characteristics than those of MOSFET cause severe switching losses and switching frequency limitation. This paper proposes the IGBT's soft switching concept with the help of MOSFET, where each of the IGBT and MOSFET plays its role during on-periods and switching instants. Also, the switching losses are analyzed by using the linearized modeling and the modeling and the operations of a converter are investigated to confirm the soft switching of IGBT's.

In a parallel operation of UPS, there are two types of circulating currents between UPS. One is the low order circulating current with a fundamental frequency caused by the amplitude and phase differences of UPS output voltages, and the other is the harmonic circulating current with PWM switching frequency caused by non-synchronized PWM waveforms among UPS. The elimination of the low order circulating current is essential for optimal load sharing in parallel operations of UPS, which can be accomplished by the phase and magnitude control at each UPS. The harmonic circulating current may cause troubles and deteriorate in performance of the controller for optimal load sharing in parallel operation of UPS. This paper presents a PWM synchronizing method to eliminate the harmonic circulation current in parallel operation of UPS. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been investigated and verified through experiments by a 50kVA UPS.
