Although they require more complex circuits, three-level inverters are more efficient than their two-level cousins. Effective partitioning simplifies implementation of the three-level configuration.

Infineon Technologies has introduced a single power module that can handle up to 352kW in three-level solar string inverter applications. Called F3L600R10W4S7F_C22, and aimed at for 1.5kVdc inverters, ...

The MiniSKiiP IGBT power semiconductor module is optimized for three-level solar inverters and UPS systems. It has a rated current of 4.9 A/cm2 and one phase leg per module that enables the ...

Semikron has added a new topology for use in three-level inverters to its Semitop IGBT product range. The topology integrates IGBT technology with lower switching and conduction losses to produce ...

When we speak of efficiency, we are referring mainly to electrical efficiency. This usage, however, is a restriction of the meaning of the word efficiency itself. In power-electronics applications the ...

This paper presents a novel 3-phase IGBT module called the SPM (Smart Power Module). This is a new design developed to provide a very compact, low cost, high perfor- mance and reliable motor drive ...
