Isolated Base Power Modules

? Isolated base power modules provide with semikron electronics available in various configurations like scr/scr, scr/diode and diode/diode. They are available in current range 15 to 75 a and piv up to 1600 v, single phase and three phase bridge rectifiers are also available from 10 to 100 a. Specific advantage of these modules is that a number of modules can be mounted on the same heat sink. It minimies the total size of the assembly. If discrete device are used, each has to mounted on a separate heat sink to avoid shorting. Wiring between various devices is minimised, discrete stund thyristors and diodes are also available. Thyristors from 16 to 170 a, diodes from 16 to 320 a, in both stud anode and stud cathode configurations and piv up to 1600 v is available. Semikron offers semitrans igbt modules in 600/1200 v and 1700 v range, current range 15 to 400 a. They are available in differnt configurations-single switch, half bridge and six pack with skiip technology. The new 1200 v igbt modules are of soft punch through type. They have significant advantage over the standard igbt module-lower values of vce (sat), eon and eoff (energy dissipation during turn on/turn off
