Overview

We come across 4.5 kV IGBT modules in our everyday lives, as they are used to deliver green energy via HVDC transmission lines and stabilize the grid with STATCOM; furthermore, they make us and the goods we need move conveniently by high-speed trains and locomotives. In addition, 4.5 kV IHV also finds application in large medium-voltage drives, making them compact and move with low energy consumption.

Introduction of the IHV 4500 V

Our IHV 4.5 kV are the reliable workhorses enabling a stable green grid and shine not only with unique features like a VGE of 25 V for the lowest losses but also with the highest reliability and robustness. Our industrial high-voltage (IHV) IGBT module in 4500 V comes in two different packages: IHV A, which offers a 10.4 kV isolation capability, the corresponding creepage, and clearance distances as required by harsher environments, and a current rating range from 800 A to 1500 A. IHV B is cost-optimized for lower demanding applications at sufficient 6.0 kV isolation with current ratings of 1200 A to 1800 A. You can choose between single switch, chopper, or double diode configurations depending on the application requirements.

IHV B 4500 V are reliable workhorses

The well-known market-leading IHV 4.5 kV IGBT3 modules have now been upgraded to the latest front- and back-end technologies and design possibilities. The FZ1800R45HL4(_S7) features the latest 4.5 kV chip generation in 8-inch wafer technology and is the perfect fit for transmission and distribution as well as industrial drives. An upgrade from older chip generations is feasible thanks to the standardized IHV B package of 190 x 140 mm.

Both modules can realize 50 percent higher output power at the same size, which in turn means a cost reduction for the system designer. For example, the FZ1800R45HL4 is the first module to enable 1.4 GW HVDC plants at 320 kV without paralleling. FZ1800R45HL4_S7, in addition, can be driven by applying a gate voltage of 25 V instead of the usual 15 V.

Over 100,000 pieces of IHV B 4500 V with IGBT3 are the reliable workhorses enabling a stable green grid; now the new FZ1800R45HL4(_S7) will follow this heritage with even lower losses.

Key features

The products incorporate important key features, e.g., best-in-class reliability, best-in-class RthJC and conduction losses, a CTI of at least 600, ready-to-use for EN45545, standardized housings, and an operating temperature for IHV-B of 150°C.
