Abstract
Modern high power traction converters are equipped with IGBT-modules. For a reliable operation the modules have to fulfil the following requirements: High junction temperature limit, large safe operating area, high surge current capability and sufficient thermal cycling capability. In this paper current and next generation of IGBT modules will be characterised regarding the first three aspects.
