• >100 kHz Operation 390 V, 30 A
• 200 kHz Operation 390 V, 18 A
• 600 V Switching SOA Capability
• Typical Fall Time 60 ns at TJ = 125°C
600V 60A is rated for a low duty cycle , not steady switching at 160 kHz Each transition adds a certain mJ of heat and the frequency accumulates this heat over the time constant of the heatsink and results in a temperature rise that may exceed your expectations.
You start with Design Specs for load impedance and power, then target efficiency losses and then design and choose components with a reasonable safety margin for a good MTBF.
Good design tools and the best parts may be found here.
thank you,
if i reduce the switching frequency to 50khz , is it possible to use the hgtg30n60a4d for 50a 50% duty cycle and 300VDC, i increased the switching frequency because my transformer saturates at low frequency and dont know why.
" if i reduce the switching frequency to 50khz ... can it do 50A and 300VDC ...? "
if you read the data sheet - the max turn off energy ( worst case ) + turn on energy for 30A and 390V is 1200uJ + 750uJ = 1950uJ x 50kHz = 97.5 watts - and this is with zero conduction losses ...
Still completely untenable for a TO-247 ....

looking at ll the conditions - At 50A you will be closer to 110W per device just for sw losses ....
