working principle
Based on its semiconductor characteristics, namely the on-off switch characteristic. Build a parallel series structure of several IGBT chip units inside the module. When direct current passes through the module, the direction and frequency of the current flow are changed by the rapid opening and closing of different switch combinations, thereby outputting the required alternating current.
Composition and Characteristics
compositionIGBT modules are composed of IGBT chips and FWD chips, packaged through specific circuit bridging. IGBT chips combine the characteristics of MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors) and bipolar transistors, and have advantages such as high efficiency, high-speed switching, and high current carrying capacity.
Features:
1. Energy saving: IGBT modules have high energy conversion efficiency and can significantly reduce energy consumption.
2. Easy installation and maintenance: The modular design makes the installation and maintenance of IGBT modules more convenient.
3. Stable heat dissipation: Advanced heat dissipation technology is adopted to ensure that the module can still work stably in high temperature environments.
4. Strong insulation: The IGBT inner and outer shells have good insulation performance, which can avoid electromagnetic interference and other electrical problems, and improve the safety of the system
