Abstract

In this paper the main advantages of 6.5 kV Reverse Conducting IGBTs (RC-IGBTs) compared to state-of-the-art two-chip IGBT/Diode solutions for traction applications are discussed. The experimental results show the potential of RC-IGBTs as well as the increased requirements on the gate control strategy.
