Abstract:
In this paper we present the results of analysis of current requirements of traction converters powered by 750 V DC and 1500 V DC. Based on these application conditions we have also done a comparison of performance of modern 1700V and 3300 V Si IGBT, Hybrid Si IGBT / SiC SBD and Full - SiC MOSFET modules. These results are used for the evaluation of the benefits of different semiconductor technology when used in traction converters for a range of switching frequencies. Our analysis presented here shows the benefits of using Hybrid Si IGBT /SiC SBD for application which require 750 V DC and the benefit of using a full SiC MOSFET module for 1500V DC requirement.
