  Lennox International

  May 2019 - Aug 2019

  Power Electronics Hardware Intern

  Main Achievements:1.-Performed sensitivity analysis against temperature changes for current and voltage sensors. The results were used to prove the correct operation of a motor drive prototype under worst-case scenarios. 2.-Analyzed and described the operational principle of an AC-DC rectifier with split DC-link voltage balancing circuit. Proposed and tested experimentally a more cost-effective solution of the DC-link capacitor's voltage balancing problem. The recommendations made were used to improve two products of the company.
