Managing power semiconductor obsolescence by press-pack IGBT substitution
2005 European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications, 2005Press-pack IGBTs are identified as a possible replacement for obsolete power semiconductor technology. Traction power electronic systems using thyristor technology are compared to those substituted with press-pack IGBTs, with and without additional modifications to optimise performance.
