FZ1800R16KF4 is an excellent choice for your industry applications. It works great in AC/DC motor control & drives, Commercial, Agriculture and Construction Vehicles (CAV), wind energy systems, railway tractions. Its construction is robust and the module is highly reliable. It is recognized by UL too.
FZ1800R16KF4 has some unique features which have made it a perfect module for high speed switching applications. It features high power density for compact inverter designs. Standardized housing is another benefit of it. These features are very useful in challenging applications. Today we will discuss about the effectiveness of FZ1800R16KF4 in train tractions.
Railway traction is among the most demanding applications for power electronic modules. Climatic influences like moisture, dust and wide temperature range are challenging, so are the mechanical aspects. Power electronic suffers from the vibrations inside the trains in addition to the electric and thermal load. The mission profile of trams and subway trains consist of a high number of acceleration and deceleration cycles, repeated day by day. This mode of operation leads to extreme demands regarding power- and thermal-cycling capability. Traction system for trains employ an induction motor as the main driving motor and a VVVF inverter as a control unit, and they have improved remarkably as AC equipment especially because the main circuit semiconductor elements have rapidly improved.
There is hardly any other application that puts such high demands on the components as train traction. High quality, reliability and lifetime are the most important product features in this market segment. IGBT modules in voltage classes 3.3kV, 4.5kV and 6.5kV with enhanced mechanical and thermal features are installed in trains all over the world to allow reliable, safe and cost-efficient operation.
To suit the special needs of this application, Infineon provides FZ1800R16KF4, especially dedicated to traction and similar applications. The high-speed switching characteristic of this IGBT module lessens electromagnetic noise which is generated by the primary motor and enhances the efficiency of energy conversion. It has advantages like ongoing development for higher voltage and current ratings and these benefits make it really useful in railway traction applications. You can find it in metro drive systems, in, innovative high speed trains and in auxiliary inverters.
