Renewable energy:
Wind power converter (doubly fed or full power converter), supporting high voltage ride through (HVRT) function.
Photovoltaic inverters (centralized or distributed) improve conversion efficiency and grid adaptability.
Power quality equipment:
Static Var Generator (SVG) and Active Power Filter (APF) are used for harmonic control and reactive power compensation.

3. Special power supply
High frequency heating power supply: The power module of induction heating equipment supports high switching frequency.
Pulse power supply: Pulse applications such as radar and particle accelerators that require fast switching.
Installation and maintenance
1. Installation points
Mechanical installation:
The module needs to be installed vertically on the heat sink, ensuring a flat contact surface, and using thermal conductive silicone grease (thickness ≤ 0.1mm).
Fixed torque: The screws need to be tightened in diagonal order, and the torque value should refer to the manual (usually 6-8 N · m).
Electrical connection:
Main circuit: Copper bars or low inductance cables are required for the DC bus (+/-) and output terminals (U/V/W) to reduce parasitic inductance.
Drive signal: using twisted pair shielded cables with a length of ≤ 0.5 meters to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Grounding: The driver board and module casing must be reliably grounded with a grounding resistance of<1 Ω.
2. Maintenance and troubleshooting
Daily inspection:
Visually inspect the surface of the module for cracks, erosion, or discoloration.
Measure the output voltage of the driver board: turn-on voltage+15 V ± 5%, turn off voltage -7 V ± 5%.
Cooling system: fan speed, radiator temperature (≤ 80 ° C is normal).
Common faults:
Overcurrent fault: It may be caused by motor short circuit, drive board failure, or IGBT aging, and an oscilloscope is needed to detect the gate waveform.
Overheating alarm: Failure of cooling fan, accumulation of dust in radiator, or failure of thermal grease, requiring cleaning or replacement.
Module damage: manifested as a phase loss in the inverter output, requiring a multimeter to detect module continuity (normally, unidirectional conduction between C-E).
Alternative models and compatibility
Upgraded models of the same series:
FS450R17KE4:450 A current level, E4 technology with lower losses, suitable for scenarios requiring higher power.
FS300R17KL4: 1200 V version, can be replaced if voltage requirements decrease (system voltage compatibility needs to be confirmed).
Driver board compatibility:
AGDR-66C is only compatible with IGBT at 1700 V level. If it is replaced with other voltage modules (such as 1200 V), the driver board (such as AGDR-61C) needs to be replaced synchronously.
Safety and Compliance
authentication:
Compliant with RoHS 2.0 environmental standards and certified by UL and CE safety regulations (please refer to specific documentation).
Compliant with IEC 60664-1 insulation standard, suitable for pollution level 2 environment.
Safe operation:
After power failure, wait for the capacitor to discharge (≥ 10 minutes) and use a multimeter to confirm that the bus voltage is less than 30 V.
Wear an anti-static wristband to avoid direct contact with IGBT pins (G is highly susceptible to electrostatic breakdown).
The faulty module needs to be professionally handled to avoid high-pressure residue or debris splashing during disassembly.
