Abstract:
The paper introduces a new type 1000A/6500V HVIGBT (High Voltage Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). The new generation Mitsubishi Electric HVIGBT modules, X-series HVIGBT, use the latest IGBT chip and diode chip technology. As a result, it can significantly reduce the conduction saturation voltage, the switching losses and the thermal resistance. In this paper, the electrical characteristics are presented. Due to its excellent performance, it is very suitable for the traction application, and the detailed applications in 4QC (4-Quadrant Converter) and PWMI (Pulse Width Modulation Inverter) are talked to express the advantages.
