A COMPLETE RANGE OF POWER MODULES WITH VARIOUS SiC SWITCHES FOR HIGH- PERFORMANCE, THREE-PHASE SOLAR INVERTERS
-- Vincotech rolls out a full line of power module with silicon carbide switches --
Unterhaching (Germany), May 8, 2012 – Vincotech, a supplier of module-based solutions for power electronics, has launched a complete range of standard power modules for high-performance solar inverters. Packaged in a flow 0 housing measuring just 12 mm in height, these remarkably efficient MNPC and dual booster modules come with exceedingly fast SiC switches from four manufacturers.
Customers can now choose from a wide selection of power modules equipped with four of brands of silicon carbide switches. This new line encompasses:
Mixed-voltage Neutral Point Clamped (MNPC) modules equipped with
- SemiSouthTM SiC Normally Off JFETs
- Infineon Technologies and SemiSouthTM SiC Normally On JFETs in cascode configuration
- Cree and ROHM SiC MOSFETs
Dual Booster modules equipped with
- SemiSouthTM SiC Normally Off JFET’s
- Cree and ROHM SiC MOSFETs
Engineered for highly efficient, three-phase solar inverters ranging up to 30 kW, these new products feature a 1200 V dual booster input stage and a 1200V MNPC inverter. They also provide exceedingly fast switching without tail current. The onboard, high-frequency DC link capacitors enhance fast-switching, low-inductive designs and help minimize voltage overshoots. The MNPC topology has been implemented with split outputs to achieve utmost efficiency and immunity to shoot-through, cross-conduction current.
Samples of both ranges may be ordered via standard sales channels. Vincotech’s power module products, please see our complete power modules range.
