Vincotech flowNPC 1 MOS NPC converter module

Vincotech, a supplier of module-based solutions for power electronics, has introduced a fully MOSFET-based NPC converter module in flow 1 housing. Designed for 1200 V solar inverter applications, the module features a split output, eliminates cross conduction and provides reactive power capability. The flowNPC 1 MOS achieves high efficiency levels exceeding 98.5% at 50 kHz.

Packaged in flow 1 housings measuring 82 x 38 x 17 mm, the module extends the family of flow 1 NPC converter modules with a line based on 600 V MOSFET and 600 V SiC diodes covering a range from 21-41 m RDS(on). The product provides a three-level inverter topology engineered to furnish high switching frequencies.

One of the benefits of the NPC converter is that it enables 600 V components to be used in 1200 V applications. It also claims to outperform 1200 V devices in terms of speed. Designed for low inductance, the modules provide a suitable solution for solar, UPS and fast-switching motor drive applications.
