IGBT modules for three-level inverter

While reducing the loss of power devices that comprise an inverter circuit is important to power loss reduction, the adoption of multi-level inverters is anticipated to further reduce power loss (achieve high efficiency.) Mitsubishi Electric has developed a power module that supports three levels by using a low-loss power chip and equipping the 3-level inverter with the necessary circuits.

Features

  • Power consumption cut by approx. 30%*1 to support three-level inverters
  • We have developed a new package*2 which contributes to low inductance and simplification of the inverter circuit configuration
  • IGBT specifications have been optimized*3 to contribute to development of a compact new package with low inductance
  • We have included 4in1*4 /1in1/2in1 in the lineup to contribute to more compact inverters with greater design freedom
  • ※1:Comparison of a three-level inverter equipped with this product and two-level inverter equipped with our conventional product
  • ※2:We have developed new packages with innovative terminal positions; external dimensions are 130 mm x 67 mm for the 1in1 and 2in1 (C2) types, and 115 mm x 82 mm for the 4in1 type.
  • ※3:Optimized CSTBTTM(Mitsubishi Electric's unique IGBT that makes use of the carrier cumulative effect) for three-level inverters
  • ※4:4in1 module integrating one arm of the three-level inverter in a single package

Applications

  • Renewable energy
  • Motion control
  • Power supply, Uninterruptable power supply (UPS)
