Simulation Tool for IGBT modules - 5S …

Simulation tool for igbt modulesR. SchnellABB Switzerland Ltd, Semiconductors, Fabrikstrasse 3, CH 5600 Lenzburg, Switzerlande-mail: has recently released a new Simulation tool based on Microsoft Excel for dimensioning of two levelvoltage source igbt tool allows the calculation of switching and conduction losses under the assumption of sinusoidaloutput currents. Additionally static and transient temperature rises in the module and an optionallyspecified heatsink can be calculated. The losses in the igbt and companion freewheeling diode areiteratively adjusted to the temperature the calculation results allow a quick selection of ABB igbt modules for the planned :The calculation of the conduction and switching lossesof the igbt and the freewheeling diode are done basedon the application application parameters the DC-link voltage, outputfrequency, switching frequency, modulation index andthe power factor cos can be the maximum permissible output current has to becalculated the junction and case or heatsink temperatureneeds to be specified.
