| IPM: A Power Electronic Switch for Modular High Power Traction Converters | ||||||
| Author(s) | G. Hilpert; J. Marquardt | |||||
| Abstract | Adtranz has chosen IGBT technology for traction converters. Even in high power applications, the IGBT based Integrated Power Module (IPM) technology will succeed the GTO technology. This paper describes the IPM and its use in high power traction converters. Subjects like mechanical design, electrical and thermal characteristics and the gate-drive are discussed. Furthermore, a short overview of possible optimisation steps in this technology is given. | |||||
