Typical applications for modules with a 1200V blocking voltage are drives, solar inverters and uninterruptible power supplies, while medium voltage drives suit modules with 1700V blocking voltage.
With a blocking voltage of 1200V, the 62mm module has a maximum current rating of 600A. At 1700V, the maximum current rating is 500A. The package is equipped with an industry standard baseplate, allowing itto be integrated into existing designs, providing – according to the company – 20% more output power when used with drives.
Two versions of the power module are available in the ‘common emitter’ configuration, allowing a three level topology to be set up. This, Infineon notes, allows an efficient use in solar and UPS applications where the demand for power is high.
