Modelo de IGBT para um conversor CC-CC de 1000A usado em controle de motores de tração de locomotivas diesel-elétricas

Abstract

This paper presents the design report for an analog IGBT SPICE model, part number 2MBI1200U4G-170. The modeling was perceived as a interesting tool in order to analyze the switching times and losses during the development, not performed at the University, of a chopper DC-DC converter used for current control of traction motors of diesel-electric locomotives. The main motivational factor was that an practical and quick approach was wanted and none standard model was found for the intended IGBT part number. As part of the process, an attempt to modify the standard SPICE model of the Cadence Orcad 16.5, which is a physics model based on Hefner works, was made. It was verified that the correct data collecting for the standard model would not be compensatory, so other modeling techniques were needed. It was decided an analog modeling would be used. The modeling achieved uses no more than the information found on the component datasheet described in tables format, voltage and current sources. The validation was done in two different topologies with load currents up to 1400A, switching frequencies of 200Hz, 416Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz and input voltages of 74V, 300V, 900V and 1000V . Comparatives were done with the vendor catalog and laboratory data. The model is satisfactory for heat, collector and gate currents analysis. The simulation current and temperature results showed differences up to 3% and 7%, respectively, when compared to laboratories measurements.
