Technical Specifications

Key Features and Technology

1. PrimePhase™ IGBT Technology

• XTCemitter™ Structure: Reduces switching losses by up to 30% compared to previous generations, improving efficiency in high-power converters.
• Trench Gate Design: Enhances the charge carrier density, enabling higher current handling and faster switching speeds.
• Soft Recovery Diode: Integrates a co-packed fast-recovery diode with low reverse recovery charge (Q_rr), minimizing voltage overshoot during commutation.

2. Press-Fit Compact Package (PFCP)

• Rugged Mechanical Design: Eliminates soldered connections, reducing thermal fatigue and improving vibration resistance—critical for traction (e.g., trains) or offshore wind applications.
• Direct Copper Bonding (DCB) Substrate: Provides excellent thermal conductivity (170 W/m·K) and electrical isolation, enabling efficient heat dissipation to liquid-cooled cold plates.
• Self-Aligned Press-Fit Pins: Simplifies assembly in power modules, ensuring consistent contact pressure and reducing maintenance time during replacement.

3. High Power Density

• With a voltage rating of 4.5 kV and 3.5 kA current capability, this module is suitable for medium-voltage (MV) drives (e.g., 3.3 kV or 4.16 kV systems) in industries like mining, oil & gas, and marine propulsion.
• Supports multi-level converter topologies (e.g., NPC, H-bridge) for grid-connected inverters, where high voltage and low harmonic distortion are required.

4. Reliability and Longevity

• Advanced Thermal Management: The low thermal resistance (0.002 K/W) allows sustained operation at high currents without overheating, even in ambient temperatures up to 50°C.
• Surge Current Capability: Can withstand short-circuit currents up to 10,000 A (I_SC) for 10 ms, providing robust fault protection in converter systems.
• Life Cycle Management: ABB’s Power Module Diagnostics (PMD) technology monitors key parameters like junction temperature and bond wire integrity, enabling predictive maintenance and avoiding unexpected failures.

Typical Applications

1. Renewable Energy
   • Wind Turbines: Used in full-power converters (up to 10 MW) for direct-drive or geared turbines, enabling efficient power conversion from variable-speed generators to the grid.
   • Solar Farms: Integrates into MV string inverters or central inverters, supporting high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission to reduce cable losses.
2. Industrial Drives
   • Large Motor Control: Drives pumps, compressors, and motors in cement plants, steel mills, and water treatment facilities, where energy efficiency and reliability are critical.
   • Marine Propulsion: Powers electric ship drives (e.g., azimuth thrusters) in hybrid or fully electric vessels, meeting IMO Tier III emission standards.
3. Grid Infrastructure
   • HVDC Transmission: Used in voltage source converters (VSC-HVDC) for transmitting renewable energy over long distances (e.g., offshore wind connections).
   • Static Var Compensators (SVCs): Improves power quality by stabilizing voltage and reducing reactive power in distribution networks.
4. Traction Systems
   • High-Speed Rail: Equips traction inverters for electric trains, delivering smooth acceleration and regenerative braking with low harmonic emissions.
   • Urban Transit: Used in tram and subway systems, where compact size and high efficiency are essential for rolling stock.

Installation and Thermal Considerations

• Cooling System: Requires a liquid-cooling loop with deionized water or glycol mixture, maintaining a coolant temperature between 30°C and 50°C to optimize thermal performance.
• Mechanical Mounting: The module must be pressed onto a cold plate with uniform pressure (typically 5–8 kN) to ensure optimal thermal contact. ABB provides 专用工具 (specialized tools) for alignment and torque specification.
• Electrical Connections: Press-fit pins interface directly with the PCB or busbar, eliminating soldering and reducing inductance in the power loop. For high-current applications, flexible copper busbars are recommended to minimize mechanical stress.

Commissioning Steps:

1. Verify the cooling system flow rate (≥5 L/min) and pressure (≤3 bar).
2. Use ABB’s Drive composer Pro software to configure gate drive parameters (e.g., V_ge, dead time) based on the application’s voltage and current requirements.
3. Perform a short-circuit test (using a dedicated test rig) to validate the module’s fault-handling capability and ensure compliance with IEC 60747-9.

Compliance and Support

• Standards: Meets IEC 60747-9 (semiconductor devices for power electronics), IEC 61800-3 (EMC for adjustable speed drives), and RoHS 3 for environmental compliance.
• Warranty: 3-year standard warranty, extendable with ABB’s ServiceCare plans for extended coverage and priority support.
• Design Support: ABB’s Power Electronics Lab offers simulation tools (e.g., Simplorer) and application engineering services to optimize converter design for efficiency and reliability.
