N2 - IGBT is one of the key components of motor driving system for electric vehicles, and its reliability directly affects the reliability of the electric vehicles. The reliability of the IGBT is affected by the loss and the junction temperature in working condition. To predict the IGBT's loss and thermal response, especially in the case of adverse dynamic conditions, the dynamic loss model and the junction temperature of power IGBT are studied in this paper. This model is then applied to simulate the loss of Eupec's power IGBT FS450R12KE3 used in a motor driving system for electric vehicles developed by the Institute of Electrical Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences. Simulation results accurately match the measurement. This work can be extended to evaluate power IGBTs in other automotive application such as DC/DC conversion, EPAS and so on.
