Power modules will come in your mind first when it is about leveraging the knowledge of the power specialists and bringing your model to the market promptly, but think before choosing. Power-module architecture selections can have an significant impact on the performance of your power supply.

 

Either judging step-down switching regulators at the silicon-level (moderator with FET), or power modules where the consolidation, and effortlessness of usage of a further accomplished power supply subsystem can be preferable, system makers are under immense pressure in all over the world. Though the form factors are being curtailed day by day, the system designers are being assigned with amalgamating more power and features. System’s electrical and thermal characteristics are being affected adversely by this.

 

To integrate nirvana, the system designers must have to overcome several obstacles. Increased possibility of noise coupling is included to these. This is very likely to occur as components are in close proximity, as well as heat wastage, given that the power-handling capabilities continue to rise along with lesser footprint areas.

 

Luckily, power module designers resume to introduce new ideas to fulfill these challenging demands with the help of different architectural and topological design techniques those extract the utmost performance from the smallest package. Still, these innovations put the burden on the system designers in need of the perfect power module to be cautious in their option of solutions. The methods used by various power module solutions may comprehensively have an effect on total system cost, as well as primary performance parameters such as heat dissipation, transient response, ripple voltage, and even ease of use. It’s a great instance of ‘buyer beware’.

 

Modular versus Discrete case

 

For system designers, there are many causes to choose for a power module against designing a power converter from the component level, not least of which are ease of use and time-to-market. By attaching input and output capacitors only, these power customers can finish their designs comparatively simply and rapidly, with confidence that their primary performance and space necessities have been met. The power module is a total power converter system in an encapsulated combination that comprehends a PWM controller, simultaneous switching MOSFETs, inductors and passive components.

Numerical control (NC) is the mechanization of machine tools that are functioned by accurately programmed commands encoded on a storage mean, as against to run manually via hand wheels or levers, or mechanically automated via cams alone. Most NCs today are computer numerical control (CNC), in which computers play an integral part of the control.

 

Fuji Electric delivers high-performance power semiconductors for energy, automotive, information technology, and industrial applications. IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) made my Fuji is used widely in CNC plasma cutters and welding machines.

 

Plasma cutting involves cutting a material using a plasma torch. It is commonly used to cut steel and other metals, but can be used on a variety of materials. In this process, gas (such as compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma. The plasma is enough heated to melt the material being cut and moves pretty fast to blow molten metal away from the cut.

 

Arc and tube welding machines are mostly used in industrial setting for building and repair of the infrastructure. Welding power supplies are required to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. The arc can be created by either DC or AC current with consumable or non-consumable electrodes. The welding region is sometimes protected by some type of inert or semi-inert gas.

 

Arc welding is popular due to low capital and running costs. For arc welding, the voltage is directly related to the length of the arc, and the current is related to the amount of heat input with typical currents of 50 to 500 amps depending on the size of weld. For arc welding with low voltages and large currents, a soft switching PWM DC-DC power converter with Fuji IGBT switches in the primary side of a high frequency transformer is considered to be the most suitable topology for the welding power supply110, 111. Power losses in the Fuji IGBTs are reduced by using soft switching resulting in a volume reduction of 59% and weight reduction of 47% compared with the hard-switching approach. Dynamic welding performance is improved due to operation at 40-kHz when compared with 13-kHz with hard-switching.

For locomotives, which are driven by diesel or electricity, EMU and DEMU vehicles with AC Traction Motors, new microprocessor based AC-AC Traction System (MAS) offers the latest in technology combining IGBT based Traction Converter with DSP and microprocessor based embedded controls. Microprocessor based Locomotive Control system is used in conjunction with IGBT based traction converter to implement this solution.

 

Federal Railway of Switzerland has granted ABB Switzerland an agreement valued approximately SFr 69.2m ($US 75.4m) to provide latest traction apparatuses for its convoy of 119 Re460 electric locomotives as a section of a SFr 230m middle-life renovation program.

 

According to this contract, 202 IGBT traction converters will be supplied by ABB with an option for 38 additional units which are water-cooled. As per SSB’s opinion, it will be possible to reduce traction power consumption by 27GWh per year by converting the convoy to IGBT which is sufficient electricity to power 6750 homes.

 

Latest oil-free dual compressors will be used to equip the Re 460s. These are intended to minimize power dissipation when the locomotives are immobile. Besides this, advantages like advanced air conditioning and heating in the driver’s cabs and latest fire safety systems for operation in the Gotthard Base Tunnel can be achieved by using this.

 

A conventional locomotive will be modernized by using IGBT converters by the end of coming year and will pass through test runs for a year before the left 118 locomotives are updated. The renovations will be executed at SBB’s Yverdon-les-Bains workshop and the program is expected to be finished in 2022.

 

Since the early 1990s, the 200km/h four-axle Re460 has been the base of SBB’s long-range convoy. As a segment of the Rail 2000 project to bring up-to-date train services and raise retention on the Swiss mainline network, the locomotives were introduced and these are built by a Swiss consortium of SLM and ABB. It is expected that this modernization program will prolong their operational life by 20 years.
