Description:
Powerex IGBTMODTM Modules
are designed for use in switching
applications. Each module consists
of six IGBT Transistors in a three
phase bridge configuration, with
each transistor having a reverse-
connected super-fast recovery
free-wheel diode. All components
and interconnects are isolated from
the heat sinking baseplate, offering
simplified system assembly and
thermal management.
Features:
Low Drive Power
Low V
CE(sat)
Discrete Super-Fast Recovery
(70ns) Free-Wheel Diode
High Frequency Operation
(20-25kHz)
Isolated Baseplate for Easy
Heat Sinking
Applications:
AC Motor Control
Motion/Servo Control
UPS
Welding Power Supplies
Laser Power Supplies
