Traction Converter with 6.5kV IGBT Modules | ||||||
Author(s) | Mark Bakran; H. G. Eckel | |||||
Abstract | For traction applications the 3kV DC-line imposes the highest requirements on converters, needing a maximum dc-link voltage of more than 4kV. In the past only GTOs were available as 6.5kV devices. The newly developed 6.5kV / 600A IGBT modules allow a two-level IGBT converter for 3kV DC. First experiences with the IGBTs behavior, drive, overvoltage and losses will be explained. General aspects on converter design will be given. | |||||
