FZ1200R12KF5 - Perfect IGBT for Motor Control

FZ1200R12KF5 is a TRANS IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) module N-CH 1200V 78A 7Half-Bridge. This module is manufactured by Infineon Technologies, Germany previously familiar as Eupec who is one of the prime manufacturers and suppliers of semiconductors and system solutions. The best applications of FZ1200R12KF5 are DC motor control, NC equipment, AC motor control, contactless switches, electric furnace temperature control, light dimmers & welders. In case of power & energy, efficiency, mobility and security are three basic needs of this modern society. Infineon has sorted their product lineup by considering these facts. FZ1200R12KF5 is an IGBT device that combines the voltage characteristics of a biopolar transistor (collector – emitter) and the drive characteristics of a MOSFET.

Prior to 1990s, the only available power semiconductor switching device was silicon GTO which had the power manipulation capability compatible for motor control applications. In the 1990s, the ratings of IGBTs had adequately advanced, to exceed one Mega-Watt allowing penetration of the IGBT into this traction market. The availability of the IGBT allowed significant improvements in the motor drive technology due to elimination of snubber circuits and an increase in the operating frequency of the inverter circuit used to deliver power to the motors. FZ1200R12KF5 is an IGBT device from Infineon which is used frequently for electric motor control.

The Motor Control Unit (MCU) is the vital part of a 100% electric-powered vehicle as it handles and regulates the electrical power supply to the electric motor to generate the necessary level of torque to power the vehicle by converting the battery packs DC voltage into three-phase AC. Inversely, the MCU is responsible for managing the electrical energy that is generated by the regenerative braking system and is fed back into the lithium-ion battery pack.

The crucial electrical components accommodated within the Motor Control Unit are a smoothing condenser to help stabilize the DC current, several FZ1200R12KF5 convert the DC electrical current into AC, a heat sink to provide cooling/heat dissipation and a control board that supervises the electric motor. The control board is located in a separate area within the MCU from the smoothing condenser, the IGBTs and the heat sink to protect it from the heat generated by these components.

Infineon Technologies has developed voltage-source inverters for AC motor drive systems with IGBT based inverters serving applications under 3,600kVA and GTO thyristor inverters for higher power levels. Because steel manufacturing lines use so many variable-speed motors, size reductions in the motor drive units can contribute to substantial savings in factory floor space that reduce investment costs. High-power-factor converters are another focus of technology development since these converters produce less reactive power and introduce lower levels of power line harmonics. FZ1200R12KF5 is an IGBT device being used in the inverters for such AC/DC motor drive systems.
