4500 V/1000 A New Press Pack IEGT That Contributes to Size Reduction and High Output for High-Voltage Converters

2024-04-24 | 반환

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched a newly developed press pack IEGT[1] "ST1000GXH35" with ratings of 4500 V/1000 A for use in high-voltage converters such as DC power transmission systems and industrial motor controllers.

The new product ST1000GXH35 employs trench-type IEGT chips and high-speed diode chips.

The IEGT chips reduce collector-emitter saturation-voltage and improve shutdown tolerance, short-circuit tolerance, and high-temperature tolerance. Therefore, collector-emitter saturation-voltage (VCE(sat) ) [2] has been reduced by approximately 28 % from 3.00 V to 2.15 V (typical) compared with the existing product ST750GXH24.

The high-speed diode chips suppress voltage oscillation during reverse recovery and improve reverse recovery tolerance and high-temperature tolerance. The new product can be used at a higher turn-on speed than the existing product, therefore the turn-on switching loss (Eon) [3][4] has been reduced by approximately 34 % from 4.15 J to 2.75 J (typical).

Furthermore, the test voltage for shutdown tests and short-circuit tests has been enhanced to 3400 V[5] in response to applications requiring high voltage. In addition, the junction temperature rating has been increased from 125 °C to 150 °C (maximum) by improving the high-temperature tolerance of the diode.

ST1000GXH35 contributes to size reduction and high output for high-voltage converters such as DC power transmissions, static VAR compensators, and industrial motor controllers.
