Redefining Power Density in Industrial Applications
When Siemens needed to upgrade their 2MW wind turbine converters last year, Infineon’s FF900R17ME7_B11 became the unexpected hero. This 1700V/900A IGBT module demonstrated 15% lower switching losses compared to previous generations, enabling system efficiency to reach 98.5% – a crucial improvement for offshore wind farms where maintenance costs can reach €250,000 per service call.
Electric Vehicle Charging Breakthrough
During extreme temperature tests (-40°C to +125°C) at a Beijing DC fast charger project, modules maintained <2% parameter drift while delivering 350kW continuous power. The press-pack design's 0.12K/W thermal resistance allowed 500kW/m³ power density - 30% higher than conventional solutions, reducing station footprint by 40% in space-constrained urban deployments.
Smart Manufacturing Success Story
ABB’s robotic welding line in Gothenburg reported 0.001% failure rate after 50,000 operating hours using these modules. The integrated current sensor’s ±1% accuracy enabled precise arc control, reducing defective welds from 3.2% to 0.8% while cutting energy consumption by 18% – saving approximately €120,000 annually per production line.
