Semikron MiniSKiiP/Semitop/SKiM 4 IGBT module range

Semikron has added three-level topologies to its product range that will have a lower distortion factor and reduced filtering requirements. The range will now include MiniSKiiP, Semitop and SKiM 4 IGBT modules.

The baseplate-free SKiM4 module is the most powerful IGBT in the range, with rated currents of between 200 and 600 A. Up to 250 kVA can be achieved without several modules having to be connected in parallel and they are available for 650 and 1200 and 1200 V in NPC topology.

The TNPC modules can deliver up to 900 VDC and 480 VAC, while NPC can push the EU low voltage directive to its limits of 1500 DC and 1000 VAC.

For smaller currents, baseplate-free, spring-contact IGBT MiniSKiiP modules are available. These have solder-free mounting and are intended for rated currents of between 75 and 200 A and reverse voltages of 650, enabling powers of up to 85 kVA, at 4.9 A/cm². A further merit of these modules is the easy, single-screw connection between module and heat sink and controller board.

The counterpart to solder-free MiniSKiiP modules is the Semitop, an IGBT module which is 12 mm in height and soldered onto the power circuit boards and used in applications with current ratings of 20 -150 A.

These solder-connection modules are available in NPC and can deliver up to 65 kVA. The voltage rating is 600.
