IGBT's with blocking voltage-values of 600 V, 1200 V and 1600 V are available for several applications. In traction application the 600 V and 750 V DC-mains are widely distributed. The 1500 DC-mains becomes more and more interest in Asia, South America and in Europe. While 1600 V IGBT-modules meet the requirements in 750 V-DC mains application, there is no alternative to GTO's for higher voltages. This paper describes a 3300 V IGBT-module for applications in diesel-electric trains, high speed trains and underground/suburban trains, the latter ones operating diretly on the 1500 V DC-mains with motor power ratings up to 1.5 MW. 3-level inverters with 3300 V IGBT's allow operation at 3000 V DC mains or at 2300 V AC lines in industrial converters, a widely distributed line voltage in North America.
