Mitsubishi shipping samples of HV IGBT
High voltage module targets inverters used in railways and electric power systems
Mitsubishi Electric will begin shipping samples of a new HV100 dual-type X-Series high-voltage IGBT (HVIGBT) module on May 31 2023. The company says the module offers high power, efficiency and reliability in inverter systems for large industrial equipment such as railways and electric power systems.
The dual-type module, which achieves 4.5kV withstand voltage and 10.2kVrms dielectric strength, is rated at 450A, which is believed to be unmatched among 4.5kV silicon HVIGBT modules. The product will be exhibited at trade shows, including Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Europe 2023 in Nuremberg, Germany from May 9 to 11.
In response to the growing demand for devices offering high output, high efficiency and wide ranging output capacity, Mitsubishi Electric released two versions (3.3kV/450A and 3.3kV/600A) of its HV100 dual-type X-Series high-dielectric-strength HVIGBT module in 2021.
The company says that in the near future, the forthcoming HV100 dual-type X-Series module will contribute to even higher output, higher efficiency and improved system reliability for inverters used in large industrial equipment requiring high dielectric strength.
