Understanding and comparing IGBT module datasheets
10 June, 2011 by Dr Arendt Wintrich, application manager, Semikron | Supplied by: Semikron Danfoss
This might sound somewhat overdone but comparing IGBT modules using datasheets is not as easy as it might appear. A rough comparison can, of course, be made using the component blocking voltage (VCES, eg, 1200) and the nominal current (ICnom = 100, 200 A …).
