Reliability of advanced high power semiconductor used in railway traction : the European project RAPSDRA

Last updated on 26 October 2012 1:42

Performances of power converters used in railway traction depend on the features of high power semiconductor devices which are employed. At present converters for heavy locomotives employ press-pack devices like fast thyristors and GTO's. Recently the development of high voltage IGBT ( Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) module has been...
