Infineon FS450R17KE3: A High-Performance 1700V IGBT Module for Industrial Drives and Power Conversion
The evolution of industrial automation and high-power conversion systems demands power semiconductor devices that offer not just robustness but also superior efficiency and reliability. Addressing these critical needs, the Infineon FS450R17KE3 stands out as a premier 1700V IGBT module engineered specifically for high-performance industrial drives and advanced power conversion applications.
At the core of this module is Infineon's advanced IGBT7 technology, which represents a significant leap forward in semiconductor performance. This technology is meticulously designed to minimize both conduction and switching losses, a crucial factor for systems operating at high voltages and frequencies. The result is a device that achieves an optimal trade-off between low saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) and minimal switching losses, leading to exceptionally high efficiency in operation. For end-users, this translates into reduced energy consumption and lower overall system operating costs, a key consideration in industrial settings.
The module's high voltage rating of 1700V makes it particularly suited for demanding industrial environments, such as those found in medium-voltage variable speed drives (VSDs) for controlling large motors, industrial UPS systems, solar inverters, and traction applications. Its ability to handle high power levels is underscored by its substantial nominal current rating of 450A, ensuring it can manage the rigorous power demands of heavy machinery and large-scale power conversion infrastructure.
Beyond raw performance, the FS450R17KE3 is built for maximum reliability and longevity. The module features a robust mechanical construction and utilizes low-indunce package design to minimize parasitic effects during high-speed switching, which enhances stability and reduces the risk of overvoltage spikes. Furthermore, it offers an extended short-circuit capability (8μs), providing a critical safety margin for the system during fault conditions. This ruggedness ensures stable operation even under the electrical stresses common in industrial environments, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance requirements.
Ease of integration is another hallmark of its design. The press-fit pins facilitate straightforward and automated assembly, while the integrated NTC temperature sensor allows for precise thermal monitoring and management, enabling proactive cooling control to prevent overheating.
