New Press Pack IEGT That Contributes to Size Reduction and Higher Output for High-Voltage Converters Such as DC Power Transmission Systems and Industrial Motor Controller

2024-02-14 | 返回

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched a newly developed press pack IEGT[1] "ST3000GXH35A” with ratings of 4500 V/3000 A for use in high-voltage

converters.

The new product ST3000GXH35A has optimized N buffer layer design, thereby reducing approximately 400 V[2] of turn-off-voltage oscillation peak-value (Vcp[3]) at low current, compared with the Toshiba’s existing product[4]. This helps simplify the snubber circuit.
In addition, the measuring voltage of short-circuit pulse-width has been enhanced to 3400 V[5] in response to applications requiring high voltage.
This allows facilitating the short-circuit protection design of converters.

Notes:
[1] IEGT: Injection Enhanced Gate Transistor
[2] As of August 2022, values measured by Toshiba
[3] Conditions for Vcp (max): VCC=3400 V, IC=300 A, LS≈300 nH, RG(off)=39 Ω, VGE=±15 V, Tj=150 °C
[4] Existing product: ST3000GXH31A
[5] Existing product ST3000GXH31A is 3200 V
