| Abstract |
Press-pack IGBTs are identified as a possible replacement for obsolete power semiconductor technology. Traction power electronic systems using thyristor technology are compared to those substituted with press-pack IGBTs, with and without additional modifications to optimise performance. Example applications are used to demonstrate the viability of substituting press-pack IGBT technology into existing and fully refurbished thyristor based systems, as a solution for obsolescence. The characteristics of available and future press-pack IGBTs are described. |
