OMG ... look at what an AC35 in a Trabant has gone to
On my particular application, I have some questions for the experts. I have some IGBT's lying around which I want to use for the P&S AC board running the AC35 at 144V.
1. How much current can I actually push through them for ~10 seconds? Should I aim 75% of the 400A or 800A peak ratings?
2. How fast/slow are they for the EV application?
They are 600V 400A Powerex CM400DY12NF and have these ratings:
Collector Current*** (DC, TC' = 92°C) IC 400A
Peak Collector Current ICM 800A
Emitter Current** (TC = 25°C) IE 400A
Peak Emitter Current** IEM 800A
