Increasing Lifespans of High-Power Electrical Systems
4 Pages20 COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS THE HIGH-POWER electrical systems found in locomotives must be able to withstand the enormous amounts of stress brought on by the high cur- rents and voltages surging through them. At the heart of these electrical systems are insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), electronic switches that are used because of their high efficiency and fast switch - ing to deliver power to locomotive systems.
