A schematic block diagram of a three-phase inverter is given in Figure 1 with its corresponding switch arrangement and naming, and internal voltage and current measurements. Internal measurements cannot be selected as analog outputs (on the HIL hardware) via the HIL SCADA.

Losses calculation
When the Losses calculation property is enabled, the component will calculate switching and conduction power losses for all switching elements (Diodes). Switching power losses are calculated as a function of current, voltage, and temperature using 3D Look-up tables (LUTs). Also, 2D input for losses is supported. When a 2D losses table is inserted, it assumes only current and temperature dependance. Conduction power losses can be defined as a function of current and temperature using Vd Look-up tables. These LUTs can be either 1D or 2D. If the LUT is a 1D table, the forward voltage drop depends only on current. If the LUT is a 2D table, the forward voltage drop dependence on the junction temperature is included.
Import options and an explanation of how to correctly fill in all the necessary power loss parameters are described in the Importing power losses data section.
