Impact of IGBTs in our Daily Life


IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) are widely used now-a-days in the transportation, renewable power generation, consumer, aircrafts, medical, industrial and financial sectors all over the world. As a result, billions of people from around the globe are enjoying enhanced comfort, convenience, and quality of life. IGBTs are known for their fantastic efficiency and speedy switching characteristics. These qualities make IGBTs very suitable for applications where saving energy and protecting the environment are very important. What would happen if all the IGBT were removed from the applications that they serve today?” The answer is quite revealing: Our new solar and wind based renewable energy sources would not be able to deliver power to the grid because the inverters would stop functioning. Our gasoline power cars would stop running because the electronic ignition systems would no longer function. Our hybrid electric and electric cars would stop running because the inverters used to deliver power from the batteries to the motors would no longer function. Our electric mass-transit systems would come to a standstill because the inverters used to deliver power from the power-grid to the motors would no longer function. Our air-conditioning systems in homes and offices would stop working because the inverters used to deliver power from the utility company to the heat-pumps and compressors would no longer function. Our refrigerators and vending machines would no longer function making the delivery and storage of perishable products impossible. Our factories would come to a grinding halt because the numerical controls use to run the robots would cease to function. Our new low-energy compact fluorescent bulbs would stop functioning limiting our activities to the daytime. Our portable defibrillators recently deployed in emergency vehicles, on-board airplanes, and in office buildings would no longer be operational putting over 100,000 people at the risk of death from cardiac failure. In one statement, the quality of life in our society would be greatly deteriorated if the IGBT is no longer available. It is a blessing of modern science.

Use of IGBTs in Tesla Roadster


Tesla Roadster is the first high-performance electric car in the world. It is very speedy, unprecedented; handles like a dream and goes like a bullet. But it doesn’t consume a single drop of gasoline and practically noiseless. Traditional gasoline-powered car contain hundreds of moving parts. But the Roadster is powered by just four main systems. These are: The Energy Storage System (ESS), The Power Electronics Module (PEM), an electric motor and a sequential manual transmission. We will talk about the power electronics module below. The Roadster battery, as with all batteries, stores electricity at a DC voltage. The motor uses energy in the form of an AC voltage. The Power Electronics Module functions as a bridge for energy between the charge port, battery, and motor. Every electron ever used in a Roadster, from the motor drive to the dome light, flows through the Power Electronics Module. It is a power inverter and charging system that converts AC voltage from the grid at between 90V and 265V, into DC voltages between 250V and 425V using 72 insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). This lead a significant increase in power output likened to first-generation electric cars. Under peak acceleration, the batteries can provide 200 kW of energy -- sufficient to power 2,000 incandescent light bulbs. Along with controlling charge and discharge rates, the Power Electronics Module controls voltage levels, the motor RPM (revolutions per minute), torque and the regenerative braking system.

Use of IGBTs in automated external defibrillators


One of the every four deaths in the advanced world takes place because of cardiac arrest. Eighty-five percent of deaths from sudden cardiac arrest occur due to ventricular fibrillation. Without synchronization of heart muscles, blood flow through the body is interrupted leading to starving oxygen from organs. The victim will almost certainly die within 10 minutes unless aid is provided. A defibrillator applies a dose of electrical energy to the heart muscles which depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle, terminates the arrhythmia, and allows normal heart rhythm to be re-established. It is essential that the defibrillator be located close to the victim and be easily operated to provide the life-saving response within 10 minutes. Automated external defibrillators (AED) are now widely deployed in places such as corporate and government offices, shopping centers, airplanes, airports, restaurants, hotels, sports stadiums, schools and universities with a high density of aging populations. The automated external defibrillator is designed to provide simple voice commands to prompt the administration of the live-saving electrical jolt to the victim. According to USA Today, about 450,000 people die each year in the U.S. from sudden cardiac arrest. Among these victims, the American Medical Association (AMA) estimates that more than 100,000 lives can be saved by the availability of modern AEDs enabled by IGBTs. Many companies have made IGBT particularly customized for the implantable defibrillator market.

IGBT in MRI Machines


Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic tool commonly used in hospitals to determine the nature of injuries and status of organs in patients. Unlike CT scans, no radiation occurs when using an MRI procedure. In an MRI machine, a powerful magnetic field is used to align the magnetization of some atoms in the body, and radio frequency fields are used to systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization. The nuclei in selected atoms produce a rotating magnetic field detectable by the scanner which is used to construct an image of the scanned area of the body. MRI is especially useful in imaging the brain, muscles, heart, and cancers compared with other medical imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or X-rays. It can detect aneurysms, damage to the heart or blood vessels, torn ligaments, and to find tumors. Commencing medical diagnostic equipments has revolutionized the quality of care for mankind. Non-invasive imaging of the interior of the body enables the surgeon to perform operations while minimizing damage to adjacent tissue and organs. The IGBT has been used since the early deployment of MRI scanners for the control of the gantry on which the patient is reclining as described below. In addition, hundreds of thousands of lives are being saved due to the availability of portable defibrillators which require IGBTs for delivering the controlled shock to the patient of cardiac arrest.

Calentamiento excesivo de los IGBT y como evitarlos

Un aumento excesivo o inesperado de la temperatura interna puede conducir a la evaporación del agua ya la pérdida de refrigerantes en los sistemas críticos de enfriamiento de la turbina, y eventualmente puede causar que la electrónica de la turbina se sobrecaliente. Esto es una preocupación particular en las máquinas con un sistema de refrigeración de lazo abierto y puede ocurrir incluso con el uso de refrigerantes de alta calidad. Un sistema de bucle abierto permite que el agua se evapore gradualmente desde el refrigerante de agua-glicol en el circuito de transistor bipolar de puerta aislada (IGBT), particularmente durante el tiempo cálido. (Los IGBT son un componente electrónico utilizado típicamente en turbinas debido a sus capacidades de conmutación rápidas y eficientes.) Un problema puede ocurrir cuando la evaporación del agua disminuye el nivel del refrigerante y eleva la concentración de la mezcla. Si el sistema se deja sin control y no se mantiene, el desequilibrio de mezcla resultante inhibe las propiedades de enfriamiento del fluido. Esto potencialmente compromete el IGBT. Huelga decir que una pérdida de componentes IGBT debido al sobrecalentamiento puede resultar en costosas pérdidas de hardware y un tiempo de inactividad significativo de la turbina. Para evitar esto, los operadores de viento han "vendado" el problema con una cadencia regular de monitoreo de refrigerante, reposición de agua y reequilibrio de la mezcla de fluido refrigerante. Este enfoque puede funcionar cuando se respeta diligentemente, pero es un costoso plan de mantenimiento. Requiere tomar la turbina y el transformador fuera de línea, lo que también significa tiempo de inactividad de la turbina y pérdida de ingresos para el parque eólico.

Effect of IGBT in Our Day By Day Life (Impact of IGBT in Our Daily Life)

Today, the IGBT is pervasively utilized as a part of force electronic frameworks and their applications to enhance the solace and personal satisfaction for billions of individuals from around the globe. The effect of the IGBT on society can be measured by posing the question: "What might happen in the event that all the IGBT were expelled from the applications that they serve today?" The answer is very uncovering:

Our gas power autos would quit running in light of the fact that the electronic ignition frameworks would no more capacity;

Our half breed electric and electric autos would quit running in light of the fact that the inverters used to convey power from the batteries to the engines would no more capacity;

Our electric mass-travel frameworks would grind to a halt in light of the fact that the inverters used to convey power from the force lattice to the engines would no more capacity;

Our aerating and cooling frameworks in homes and workplaces would quit working in light of the fact that the inverters used to convey power from the service organization to the warmth pumps and compressors would no more capacity;

Our fridges and candy machines would no more capacity making the conveyance and capacity of perishable items outlandish;

Our processing plants would go to a crushing stop on the grounds that the numerical controls use to run the robots would stop to work;

Our extraordinary failure vitality minimized bright light bulbs would quit working restricting our exercises to the daytime;

Our convenient defibrillators as of late sent in crisis vehicles, on-load up planes, and in office structures would never again be operational putting more than 100,000 individuals at the danger of death from heart disappointment;

Our new sun oriented and wind based renewable vitality sources would not have the capacity to convey energy to the framework on the grounds that the inverters would quit working.


Taking everything into account, the personal satisfaction in our general public would be incredibly debilitated if the IGBT is no more accessible.
