Full SiC Performance in Power Modules
Discrete devices such as the TO-247 are fine as a first step towards integrating silicon carbide into various applications, but for more powerful and sophisticated designs, the integration capabilities of power modules make them the first choice. read more
IGBT switching with cable load
Datasheet switching losses of IGBTs and their freewheeling diodes are determined in a double pulse test with a purely inductive load. This closely resembles the application conditions in most cases and is therefore also set out in the applicable… read more
Module solutions for 1500V solar inverters
By increasing the maximum DC Voltage of a solar inverter from 1000V to 1500V PV power plants become more cost effective. However, this voltage jump requires careful consideration when selecting power modules and converter topologies. read more
