摘要：
The parallel use of Press-pack Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) chip is an important means to improve the current level of IGBT devices. However, the current imbalance between the chips limits the maximum rated current of the device. It is usually necessary to evaluate degree of current imbalance by means of experimental testing, but one of the difficulties is how to accurately measure the current in the internal chip of Press-pack IGBT device. Rogoswski coil is the main means of current measurement in IGBT devices because of its advantages of flexibility, non-saturation and non-embedment. Previous studies have shown that there is a large error in measuring the chip current by the Rogoswski coil in the IGBT device. This paper is based on the special application of Rogoswski coil to measure the chip current in Press-pack IGBT devices. Firstly, the causes of current measurement error were analyzed. Secondly, the error model of Rogoswski coil was established and the error analytical formula was derived. Then, two methods to reduce measurement error were proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the analytical formula of error and the method of reducing measurement error were verified by experiments. © 2020 Chin. Soc. for Elec. Eng.
