Abstract:
Innovation in transfer-molded intelligent power module package design and improvements in IGBT performance enable cost-effective module solutions in the same footprint covering both single-phase and three-phase AC input power motor drives. These solutions have a higher power and temperature cycling capability and are more compact than those using case modules. These improvements allow single-phase operation up to 5 kW in the smaller module series and over 10 kW in the larger module series.
