Hi all,

Could you tell me about the power loss of both TT60N16SOF and TT175N16SOF?

I think that "On-state power loss per arm PTAV = f (ITAV)" described in the data sheet is the condition of frequency 50 / 60Hz.

Do you have this data at 400Hz?

Their application is a three-phase thyristor rectifier.

Best regards,
MS

Hi ,

 

Thanks for posting in Infineon Community page.

 

The On state losses for

  • TT175N16SOF

VT0 = 0.83 V

rT = 1.3 mΩ

ITAV = 20 A

ITRMS = 34.6 A

PTAV = VT0 • ITAV + rT • I²TRMS

PTAV = (0.83 * 20) + (1.3 * 10^-3 * 34.6 *34.6)

PTAV = 18.156 W

  • TT60N16SOF

VT0 = 1 V

rT = 4.8 mΩ

ITAV = 6.7 A

ITRMS = 11.5 A

PTAV = VT0 • ITAV + rT • I²TRMS

PTAV = (1 * 6.7) + (4.8 * 10^-3 * 11.5 *11.5)

PTAV = 7.335 W

To calculate the Reverse recovery losses, use the below formula

E𝑟𝑒𝑐 = 0.5 × 𝑉𝑅𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑘 × 𝑄rr

𝑉𝑅𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑘 =  Peak Reverse Recovery Voltage

𝑄rr = Reverse recovery charge

𝑄rr  depends on the di/dt, which can be selected  from the 𝑄rr vs di/dt graph (Recovered charge Qr = f(-di/dt))

Prec = E𝑟𝑒𝑐 * Frequency

Refer the below images 𝑄rr vs di/dt graphs from the data sheets

Total Power Loss = PTAV  + Prec

 

Best Regards,

Akhil Kumar

Hello,
Thank you for posting on Infineon Community.

On-State Power loss PTAV is a function of ITAV and conduction angle and does not vary with frequency as shown in datasheet. One can use the given data for any frequency for average on-state losses. 
The average value of the on-state loss PTAV Is calculated according to the following formula:
PTAV = VT(TO) • ITAV + rT • I²TRMS
where,
ITAV :  Mean Value of On-State Current
rT : On-State Resistance
VT(TO) : Threshold Voltage
ITRMS: R.M.S value of On-State Current

For total power loss calculations, please let me know about the current and voltage ratings required in your application.

Thanks and Regards,
Anshika

Hi,

The current and voltage are as follows.

1.TT175N16SOF

ITAV = 20A

ITRMS = 34.6A

V = 250Vac (RMS value of AC input voltage)

 

2.TT60N16SOF

ITAV = 6.7A

ITRMS = 11.5A

V = 250Vac (RMS value of AC input voltage)

Best regards,
MS
