Simulation Tool for IGBT modules R. Schnell ABB Switzerland Ltd, Semiconductors, Fabrikstrasse 3, CH – 5600 Lenzburg, Switzerland e-mail: raffael.schnell@ Abstract: ABB has recently released a new simulation tool based on Microsoft Excel for dimensioning of two level voltage source IGBT converters. The tool allows the calculation of switching and conduction losses under the assumption of sinusoidal output currents. Additionally static and transient temperature rises in the module and an optionally specified heatsink can be calculated. The losses in the IGBT and companion freewheeling diode are iteratively adjusted to the temperature rises. Therefore the calculation results allow a quick selection of ABB IGBT modules for the planned application. Introduction: losses are given by the integration of the forward losses (V , r including R +R ) up to T /2: The calculation of the conduction and switching losses CE0 CE CC EE 0 T / 2 of the IGBT and the freewheeling diode are done based 1 0 2 on the application parameters.
