Abstract:
This paper deals with the thermal aspects that arise from using the next generation of high power semiconductors featuring a maximum operating temperature for the 5th generation IGBT of 175ºC. The benefits that arise for the application and the points that need to be considered beyond the semiconductors are evaluated using a hardware demonstrator.
