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.

IGBT and Public Transit

Suburban railway systems, one of major public transit tools, are trusted by a huge number of mass people from all over the world for their regular travel to and from work. Beside the urban transit system, electric trains have turned into a common way for travelling within metropolises in Europe and Asia. Very fast bullet trains in China, Japan and Europe enable journey by massive numbers of people by not consuming fossil fuel. Petrol/octane fueled cars and gasoline powered aircraft liquidates fossil fuel which is very bad for our environment. IGBT develops the motor drive technology greatly by ejecting snubber circuits and enhancing the operating frequency of the inverter circuit implemented to provide power to the motors.

Train traction has become one of the utmost taxing applications for power electronic modules due to the tough weather influences like moisture, dust and comprehensive temperature span. Power electronic gets into trouble from the trembles within the trains besides the electric and thermal load. The high number of acceleration and deceleration rounding operation causes extreme demands concerning power and thermal-cycling ability.

High potent IGBT modules are applied to meet the special needs of this particular infliction. These modules are specifically designed to be used in transportation and analogous applications. For achieving dependable, secure and cost-effective operation, IGBT devices in voltage classes 3.3KV, 4.5KV and 6.5KV with improved mechanized and thermic features are placed in trains around the world.

High-speed switching IGBTs are used in main circuits by modern train traction systems. This high-speed switching lessens electromagnetic noise which is generated by the primary motor and enhances the efficiency of energy conversion. 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.

Today, more than 20 years after the initiation of application, new equipment is 100% designed for AC driving. Since the history of the shift to AC has largely depended on the technological advancement of main circuit semiconductors, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is in an advantageous position in the industry, with the development of main circuit semiconductors, the manufacturing of chips, and the assembly tests of conductors all performed successively within the company.

Recently main circuit semiconductors usually employ a two-level main circuit configuration, consisting of IGBTs that can perform driving control with low power consumption, and an intelligent power module (IPM) that is equipped with a driver and protection functions. The main circuit semiconductors available today have much more delicate mechanisms which are becoming closer to ideal converters.

IGBT with Photocopies and Printers

The fixing system for the toner in copy machines, laser printers, facsimile machines, data recorders, and scanners needs transfer of toner from the rolling drum to the printing paper with heat and pressure. Radiant heating with halogen lamps was used for this process in the past. However, nearly 90 percent of the printing energy is consumed by this operation. The efficiency can be improved by using the induction heating approach leading to reduction of the size of the printing devices.

The induction heating coil is installed concentrically inside the fixing roller. The high frequency inverter required to feed the inductive energy into the heating coil is built using IGBTs. The actual high efficiency of more than 94 percent of the series resonant ZCS-PDM high frequency inverter for IH roller in copy and printing machines has been observed for all the output AC power regulation ranges from 50 to 1200 W.

IGBT with Refrigeration Compressors

Refrigerators have become essential appliances in society for the preservation of food and beverages. The quality of life for people has been greatly enhanced with the availability of affordable refrigerators for homes. Most household refrigerators utilize the vapor compression cycle with a circulating refrigerant used to cool the refrigerator compartment. Household refrigerators originally used an on/off controlled, constant-speed, single-phase induction motor to drive the compressor. The poor efficiency of this approach made the refrigerator one of the highest power consumption appliances in the home. In order to improve the efficiency, modern refrigerators with the Energy star rating utilize variable-speed, three-phase induction motor drives. Current models that are Energy Star qualified use 50 percent less energy than the average models made in 1974.

The variable speed drive to the induction motor is provided using the six IGBTs in the inverter stage. The author’s state: “The total energy savings was about 40%. The system is very quiet and maintains a constant temperature within 0.1 degree Celsius which improves the quality and shelf life of food stored in the refrigerator.” Many companies have optimized IGBTs for use in refrigerator compressor drives due to the large market opportunity. Some companies have developed intelligent power modules, which combine the IGBTs, fly-back rectifiers, and the drive circuits into a single module. This provides a very compact and low cost motor drive option that can be easily adopted for the manufacturing of refrigerators.

IGBT with Oil Extraction

As the petroleum industry matures, it must locate and extract oil from deeper and deeper reservoirs under the surface of the earth. The extraction of oil from deep underground, using oil wells is difficult due to high viscosity and inclusion of asphalt. The viscosity can be reduced by either irrigating with hot water, addition of chemicals, or by electric heating of the pipelines. Electric heating technology is widely used by the oil industry because of its low cost. A single phase AC source at 40-100 Hz is supplied to the well wall to provide resistive heating. A basic set up is needed for heating the oil pipe. The heating loop consists of the oil pipe and heater at the bottom of the well. When current flows through the loop, it not only increases the temperature at the bottom of the well but along the pipe due to the resistance of its walls.

For an example, we can say that a 50-Hz, 380-V, three-phase, AC power is converted to a DC bus by the rectifier stage and then inverted using the IGBTs to variable frequency ranging from 40-100 Hz. The heating efficiency is increased by 50 percent with this approach. The set has advantages of small volume and light weight because of using IGBT in the inverter system.

IGBT WITH INDUCTION ROW

Rice is the first & foremost food for billions of people around the world, especially in Asian countries such as China, India, and Japan, with mass populations. According to Asian Rice Foundation, “Rice is arguably the world’s most important food. It is the second most widely cultivated cereal in the world, after wheat, and is a staple food of over half the world’s population. Rice can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, baking, roasting, frying, and pressure-cooking. Cooking rice in an automatic rice cooker is becoming very popular, as it ensures consistent results and cooking instruction is much simpler to follow”.

Many Asian companies have developed rice cookers based up on the induction heating principle. The induction heating can be accomplished by using an induction cooking plate or preferably by using an induction rice cooker. Two types of circuit topologies have been explored for the induction rice cooker. First one is the half-bridge series resonant converter and another is the quasi-resonant converter. The series resonant converter has the advantages of stable switching, low cost, and streamline design. The quasi-resonant converter has the advantage of a smaller design with reduced heat sink. The quasi-resonant converter is more widely used. Due to the large market for these appliances, some semiconductor companies have developed IGBT products optimized for this market for the quasi-resonant converter topology. IGBTs feature a robust and cost effective Field Stop (FS) trench construction, and provide superior performance in demanding switching applications, offering both low on-state voltage and minimal switching loss. IGBTs are well suited for this type of resonant or soft switching applications.

IGBT WITH VACUUM CLEANERS

A vacuum cleaner is an appliance that uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt from floors, and other surfaces. The dirt is collected by a dust-bag for future disposal. Hubert Cecil Booth invented the motorized vacuum cleaner in 1901. Since then, their use has proliferated and vacuum cleaners are now very commonly used in homes on a regular basis to maintain a healthy living environment. Manufacturers of vacuum cleaners include Eureca, Hoover, Bissell, and Dyson. In the past, universal motors were mostly used for vacuum cleaners due to high operating speed with low cost. However, these motors use a mechanical brush which wears out at high speeds limiting the performance.

Modern vacuum cleaners with higher output power (suction) are designed using switched reluctance motors. The power circuits used for operation of the switched reluctance motor in vacuum cleaners. These circuits utilize IGBTs to overcome the difficult start-up problem for switched reluctance motors and for maintaining a high operating speed. The author’s state: “Its lifetime is extended 4 times than that of conventional motor and its suction power is increased 20% at the same volume of conventional universal motor”.

IGBT FOR CAMERA WITH FLASH

Most consumers have already migrated from taking photographs using film to a digital medium. The Digital Still Camera (DSC) has now become common-place. All digital cameras incorporate a flash with many features such as red eye reduction. These capabilities require a digitally programmable control with very compact circuitry to drive the Xenon flash. Some cell-phones now incorporate a flash to improve up on the quality of photographs taken under low light conditions. In addition, electronic control of lighting is used by professional photographers with strobe flashes. Lighting rumors states on their website: “Paul C. Buff’s Einstein monolights have been a big hit in the photographic lighting market, much lauded for their insulated-gate bipolartransistor (IGBT) circuitry and digital remote control.”

A Xenon bulb is used to create a short powerful burst of light with illumination characteristics close to that of sunlight. The Xenon bulb requires a high operating voltage of 320-V derived from a low 3 to 6 volt battery source. This is achieved by using a DC/DC converter with step-up transformer as shown in the figure. The high voltage is stored in a capacitor and discharged into the Xenon blub by turning on the IGBT. The IGBTs must have not only a high sustaining voltage capability but must be capable of operating with a drive voltage of only 4 volts. The footprint of the IGBT must also be reduced with innovative chip design and packaging because it must be capable of handling 150-A for a short duration. A similar circuit is used for the flash in a cell-phone but there is even greater pressure for IGBT manufacturers to reduce the foot-print and gate drive voltage. Some companies have described their technology roadmap for shrinking the footprint for the IGBT devices used for the flash application.

IGBT in the Energy Generation Sector of Fossil Fuels

Among the legacy power generation technologies, gas turbine power plants are being deployed due to the discovery of large amounts of natural gas in the United States and Australia. A permanent magnet generator is run directly from a gas turbine without a gear-box for enhanced reliability. The generator terminal voltage is at a nominal 600-Hz which must be rectified and then converted to a well regulated 50 or 60 Hz AC power for transmission to points of use. IGBT power switches are now being used for this application because of the availability of high voltage, high-current modules from many manufacturers. A 1.6 Giga-Watt gas power plant can be designed using 6 modular 300 kVA three phase voltage source IGBT stacks with 6 IGBTs in a typical bridge configuration. The design allows full control of the AC current and power factor on the grid-side. The IGBT stacks are paralleled to satisfy the 1.6 Giga-Watt power requirements. The availability of intelligent IGBT power modules with gate drivers and protection circuits has accelerated the adoption of this technology.

IGBT Market Will Reach $11 Billion by 2022

Asia-Pacific dominates the global market, accounting for more than 50% revenue share of the overall IGBT market, followed by Europe.

High power IGBT segment is projected to maintain its lead in the overall IGBT market, as these modules are used for power transmission in high voltages with minimum current loss. Moreover, Asia-Pacific is the major revenue contributor of this market due to increasing demand for electric vehicles utilizing IGBT for power transaction. China, India, and Japan are the major consumers of IGBT in Asia-Pacific.

Electric vehicle segment is expected to exhibit the fastest growth during the forecast period, owing to increasing applications of IGBT in e-bikes and e-cars. Because High-Voltage IGBTs are integrated automotive applications, as they enable power management and reduce power leakage, Telsa has been using IGBT made by International Rectifier in its popular Model S.

IGBT market will continute growing in the near future.

CM1200HA-34H and It’s Use in Plasma Cutting - SPANISH

Plasma cutting sector has been developed significantly in recent years. In the initial stages, CNC plasma cutting machines used to utilize MOSFETs in their inverters as transistor. Usage of IGBTs is now increased noticeably in this field. With assimilated MOSFETs, if one of the transistors activates untimely it can cause collapse of one quarter of the inverter. A later discovery, IGBTs, is not as subject to this failure mode. IGBTs can be generally found in high current machines where it is not possible to parallel sufficient MOSFET transistors.

El mercado de los cortadores de plasma se ha desarrollado significativamente en los años recientes, en su etapa mas inicial las maquinas que empleaban cortadores de plasma usaban un MOSFET en sus invertores como transitores, la usanza de los IGBTS es ahora lo mas común y aparte, es lo que ha incrementado, si uno de los  transitores se activa de manera tardia, puede causar un colapso de un cuarto del invertor, esto es un problema que ocurria con el Mosfet, pero con el IGBT  no es un sujeto de esta clase de fallas, los IGBT pueden ser usados y encontrados generalmente en maquinas que requieren una corriente muy alta, donde no es posible utilizar un MOSFET por sus incapacidades, como la antes mencionada.

IGBT in High Speed Drilling and Milling

When we talk about factories, places, vehicles, we sometimes don´t know that these manufacturing facilities are equipped with milling and drilling machines. In order to increase their performance it is necessary for them to employ high speed cutting technology, this makes them better  in every way possible in the cutting process, Milling spindles with extremely high rotational speed and great stiffness are required for high perfomance milling operations.

An active magnetic bearing must be used to meet these requirements for the previous milling needs said. The amplifier of the basic control circuit for an active magnetic bearing must provide sufficiently high voltage drop across the resistance of the magnet coil in order to get major stiffness and a  large duration while in the process of the machine.

To improve reliability and reduce costs, IGBT devices are used in the newly developed switching amplifier, this IGBT have been tested in a practical system of a  high speed milling spindle ( 35 KW/40,000rpm) consisting of an active magnetic bearing  for five axes.
