Re: [TCML] final word on inductance



It looks like alot of confusion is arising from this point. Mayby Finn can
confirm that the square trace in his video link in the paper he wrote is the
waveform on the H-bridge, not the wave form on the gate drive transformers.
The concept is to reduce spikes on the main DC bus, not overshoot on the
gate drive waveforms, by compensating for the inherent, constant delay in
the drive electronics and IGBT turn on.
