Description
The FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS is a high-power,low-loss IGBT module from ABB’s advanced**CAL4**(Controlled Axial Lifetime 4)series,engineered for demanding industrial and traction applications requiring exceptional efficiency,thermal stability,and ruggedness.This dual-pack(half-bridge)IGBT module integrates 1200 V/225 A silicon chips with an optimized trench-gate field-stop structure and built-in NTC temperature sensor—delivering superior switching performance in variable frequency drives,renewable inverters,and medium-voltage motor controls.
Designed for long service life under high-stress conditions,the FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS combines ABB’s proprietary CAL4 technology with robust packaging to minimize conduction and switching losses while maximizing system reliability.
Application Scenarios
In a European wind turbine OEM’s 2.5 MW full-power converter,engineers faced repeated IGBT failures during grid fault ride-through events due to excessive dv/dt stress and thermal cycling.After switching to the FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS,they achieved a 40%reduction in junction temperature swing(ΔTj)thanks to its ultra-low thermal resistance(Rth(j-c)=0.09 K/W)and soft-switching characteristics.During a certified LVRT(Low Voltage Ride-Through)test,the FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS maintained stable operation at 0%grid voltage for 150 ms without desaturation or overcurrent—enabling the turbine to remain connected and support grid recovery.Field data over two years showed zero field failures across 300+turbines,significantly lowering O&M costs.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Innovation Point 1:The FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS leverages ABB’s CAL4 lifetime-controlled wafer technology,which precisely tailors carrier recombination to achieve an optimal balance between conduction loss(VCE(sat)=1.75 V typ.)and turn-off energy—reducing total power loss by up to 15%compared to prior-generation IGBTs in 10–15 kHz applications.
Innovation Point 2:Its solder-free,sintered silver die-attach eliminates thermal fatigue from traditional solder layers,enabling>200,000 power cycles atΔTj=100 K—ideal for wind,traction,and cyclical industrial loads.
Innovation Point 3:The AG-DR package features an AlN(aluminum nitride)ceramic substrate with 170 W/m·K thermal conductivity—nearly 3×better than standard Al2O3—ensuring uniform heat spreading and lower hotspot temperatures under asymmetric loading.
Innovation Point 4:Built-in NTC sensor with Kelvin-connected leads provides accurate real-time junction temperature estimation,enabling intelligent thermal management in drives using the FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS—extending module life through adaptive derating.
Application Cases and Industry Value
At a North American steel rolling mill,a 4 MW DC motor drive was upgraded from GTO thyristors to an IGBT-based solution using six FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS modules per inverter leg.The new system reduced harmonic distortion from 28%to<5%,eliminated commutation reactors,and cut cabinet footprint by 40%.More importantly,the drive now delivers 100%torque at 0 rpm with 50µs current response—enabling precise strip tension control during threading.Over 18 months,MTBF increased from 8,000 to over 50,000 hours,directly boosting production uptime.
In a Japanese Shinkansen train auxiliary converter,the FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS replaced older IGBTs suffering from bond wire lift-off due to vibration.The module’s monolithic baseplate design and robust ultrasonic wedge bonding passed JIS E 4031 seismic tests with zero degradation—proving its suitability for high-reliability mobile applications.

Installation,Maintenance,and Full-Cycle Support
Proper installation of the FS225R12KE3-AGDR-71CS requires flatness tolerance≤0.05 mm over the baseplate area and mounting torque of 4.5 Nm(using cross-pattern tightening).Use thermal paste or phase-change material as specified—never dry-mount.Ensure gate drive loops are minimized(<5 cm²)to prevent parasitic oscillations,and include a 15–22Ωgate resistor for optimal dv/dt control.
During operation,monitor the NTC signal for abnormal heating trends.Sudden resistance shifts may indicate poor thermal contact or coolant flow issues.While the module itself is maintenance-free,periodic inspection of busbar connections and DC-link capacitors is recommended to prevent voltage overshoot damage.
