Infineon FS450R17KE4: A High-Performance 1700V IGBT Module for Industrial Drives and Power Conversion
The evolution of industrial automation and high-power energy systems demands power semiconductor devices that offer not only robustness and reliability but also superior efficiency. Addressing these critical needs, the Infineon FS450R17KE4 emerges as a premier 1700V IGBT module engineered specifically for high-performance industrial drives and advanced power conversion applications.
This module is designed to operate under demanding conditions, making it an ideal choice for high-power industrial motor drives, renewable energy inverters, industrial UPS systems, and traction applications. With a voltage rating of 1700V, it is particularly suited for systems connected to medium-voltage grids or those requiring high DC-link voltages, providing a significant safety margin and enhanced durability in rugged environments.
A key feature of the FS450R17KE4 is its low VCE(sat) (collector-emitter saturation voltage), which directly translates to reduced conduction losses. This characteristic is crucial for improving the overall efficiency of the system, as it minimizes the energy dissipated as heat during operation. Complementing this is the device’s fast switching capability, which helps in lowering switching losses, enabling higher switching frequencies, and allowing for more compact and lightweight magnetic component design in the system.
Thermal management is paramount in high-power modules, and the FS450R17KE4 excels with its low thermal resistance and optimized baseplate design. This ensures efficient heat dissipation away from the silicon dies, maintaining junction temperatures within safe limits even under heavy load conditions. This inherent thermal robustness enhances the module's long-term reliability and allows for higher output currents, with a maximum nominal current of 450A.
Furthermore, the module boasts a rugged and reliable industrial design featuring an advanced IGBT4 chip technology. This technology offers a positive temperature coefficient, which simplifies the paralleling of modules for even higher power levels and ensures even current sharing. The built-in NTC thermistor provides accurate temperature monitoring, enabling sophisticated system protection and thermal management strategies.
The FS450R17KE4 is not just a component; it is a building block for creating more efficient, powerful, and reliable next-generation power electronic systems. Its combination of high voltage capability, low losses, and excellent thermal performance makes it a standout choice for engineers pushing the boundaries of performance in industrial power electronics.
