FF1400R17T2P8 Overview
An IGBT module is a power semiconductor assembly combining insulated-gate bipolar transistors and freewheeling diodes in an electrically isolated housing. Within the power electronics hierarchy, IGBT modules occupy the level between discrete IGBTs and complete power stacks, serving as the switching core of voltage source inverters. They translate low-voltage gate control signals into multi-hundred-kilowatt power conversion, making them foundational components in industrial drives, traction, and renewable energy converters.
Key features include the half-bridge topology, which simplifies inverter leg design and reduces busbar complexity; a low-inductance XHP 2 housing that minimizes parasitic inductance and voltage overshoot during fast switching; and a maximum junction temperature of 175 C, enabling high power density designs. The EC8 diodes exhibit soft, fast reverse recovery, reducing EMI and turn-off losses in the freewheeling path.
Technically, the TRENCHSTOP IGBT8 generation reduces both conduction and switching losses versus prior generations, supporting higher efficiency and switching frequency in multi-megawatt converters. The internal module layout is optimized for symmetrical current paths and low stray inductance, while the NTC provides a linear temperature signal for protection and monitoring circuits.
Typical applications include wind turbine converters, medium-voltage drives, rail traction converters, and high-power industrial inverters, where the 1700 V class supports DC-link voltages around 1000-1100 V.
Design consideration: use a low-inductance, symmetrical DC-link busbar and a gate driver with sufficient peak current; liquid or forced-air cooling must keep the junction within the 175 C limit. Prices cited are as of 2026-09-11.

Typical Applications
FF1400R17T2P8 is suitable for 6 applications: Wind Turbine Converters, Rail Traction Auxiliary Converters, Medium-Voltage Industrial Drives, High-Power Industrial Inverters and UPS, Traction and Trolley DC Feeds / Chopper Systems, Test Benches and High-Power Laboratory Supplies.
Wind Turbine Converters
The FF1400R17T2P8 fits full-power and grid-side wind converters where the 1700 V VCES rating supports 1000-1100 V DC links and the 1400 A nominal current (2800 A ICRM) absorbs grid transients and turbine surges. The TRENCHSTOP IGBT8 chip set reduces conduction and switching losses, improving annual energy yield, while EC8 soft-recovery diodes suppress ringing in the freewheeling path, lowering EMI filter burden. The integrated NTC thermistor feeds the converter controller for continuous thermal monitoring and derating, and the 175 C junction limit gives substantial overload headroom in liquid-cooled converter cabinets. Modules are typically paralleled per phase leg using symmetrical busbar routing to balance current sharing across the XHP 2 terminations.
Recommended
Rail Traction Auxiliary Converters
In traction auxiliary inverters and light-rail drive converters using approximately 1000-1100 V DC-link rails, the FF1400R17T2P8 provides the 1700 V blocking class with a 1400 A current capability that comfortably covers traction duty-cycle overloads via its 2800 A repetitive peak rating. The XHP 2 housing's low-inductance commutation layout limits VCE overshoot during fast IGBT8 turn-off, improving margin against the 1700 V limit. The EC8 diodes' soft recovery behavior withstands high di/dt freewheeling events typical of motor drive operation. Designers should pair the module with desaturation-protected isolated gate drivers and validate thermal cycling per the applicable railway environmental requirements, since the base qualification is industrial per IEC 60747/60749/60068.
Recommended
Medium-Voltage Industrial Drives
For medium-voltage and high-power industrial motor drives, the FF1400R17T2P8 serves as the inverter leg switching element where its 1400 A rating supports frame sizes in the several-hundred-kilowatt range per module. The IGBT8 generation's reduced turn-off energy (Eoff) permits higher switching frequencies, shrinking output filter size and improving current waveform quality for sensitive loads. The half-bridge configuration shortens the DC-link busbar path, and the NTC allows drive-level thermal protection integrated into the drive controller. Symmetrical laminated busbars are recommended to equalize current sharing between the upper and lower IGBT8 positions and to keep stray inductance low enough that Lsigma times di/dt remains well below the available VCE margin at 1700 V.
Recommended
High-Power Industrial Inverters and UPS
Central inverters and large UPS systems operating from approximately 1000 V DC buses benefit from the FF1400R17T2P8's combination of 1700 V blocking, 1400 A nominal current, and 175 C junction temperature, which together yield high power density per module position. The EC8 emitter-controlled diodes reduce reverse-recovery losses and EMI at the hard-switching currents typical of grid-tied conversion. Because the XHP 2 package uses press-fit-style and solderable terminations designed for low parasitic inductance, converter designers achieve cleaner switching waveforms and lower snubber requirements. The NTC output supports real-time thermal derating strategies that maximize availability in continuously operating industrial power conversion equipment.
Recommended
Traction and Trolley DC Feeds / Chopper Systems
In chopper configurations such as braking choppers and DC-DC stages on trolley or third-rail feeds, the FF1400R17T2P8 half-bridge can be wired as a buck-style chopper handling regenerative braking energy at currents up to 1400 A continuous and 2800 A peak. The 1700 V rating accommodates the transient overhead present on heavily inductive traction DC networks. IGBT8's low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss during extended braking events, while the EC8 diode handles the freewheeling interval with soft recovery that limits voltage spikes on the DC bus. The NTC enables per-module thermal supervision, important in braking applications where energy dissipation is highly dynamic and uneven across parallel modules.
Recommended
Test Benches and High-Power Laboratory Supplies
High-power test benches, grid emulators, and laboratory DC supplies in the 1000 V-class use the FF1400R17T2P8 as a robust half-bridge building block. The module's 2800 A repetitive peak rating tolerates the short-circuit-like current steps common during fault-ride-through and protection testing, and the 175 C junction limit offers generous transient headroom when experiments push beyond nominal operating points. The low-inductance XHP 2 layout keeps switching waveforms clean at the fast IGBT8 edges, improving measurement fidelity on the bench. Integrating the NTC into bench telemetry allows automatic shutdown before device damage, and chassis-mount installation simplifies replacement between test campaigns compared with discrete-device assemblies.

Key Differentiators

- Integrated NTC thermistor (vs modules without on-state temperature sensing)
Design Notes
Minimize DC-link commutation loop inductance. The FF1400R17T2P8 switches up to 1400 A (2800 A peak) with fast TRENCHSTOP IGBT8 edges; every nH of stray busbar inductance multiplies by di/dt to create VCE overshoot. Use a symmetrical laminated busbar matched to the XHP 2 termination geometry, mount DC-link capacitors directly above the module terminals, and verify that VDC plus Lsigma*di/dt stays safely below the 1700 V VCES rating under worst-case short-circuit turn-off.
The module allows a 175 C maximum junction temperature, but designing to 150 C or lower significantly extends lifetime under power cycling in wind and traction duty. Select the cooling system (liquid cold plate preferred at this current class) so that RthJC plus interface plus heatsink resistance keeps Tj within margin at full 1400 A load. Use the integrated NTC for continuous monitoring, but note the NTC sits on the substrate and reads a temperature offset from the actual junction; calibrate the offset in your protection firmware.
Do not attempt to substitute non-XHP 2 modules on an XHP 2 footprint: the AG-XHP2K17 termination layout is Infineon-proprietary and no cross-brand pin-to-pin drop-in exists. Also ensure the gate driver provides desaturation/short-circuit protection sized for IGBT8's short-circuit withstand window and use negative gate off-voltage (per datasheet recommendation) to prevent parasitic turn-on from dV/dt across the Miller capacitance in the half-bridge arrangement.
Compliance Information
