Abstract
Press-pack IGBT technology has made significant advances in recent years. The availability of a wide range of products from multiple sources has now made this technology a realistic choice for both new build and refurbishment traction applications. Several case studies demonstrate the successful application of press-pack IGBTs in demanding traction applications including dc propulsion chopper drives for both Polish and RSA railways
