1200V / 800A Module with Mixed Neutral-Point Clamped Topology

September 25, 2018 by Paul Shepard

Vincotech has announced that the VINcoMNPC X4 - featuring a mixed neutral-point clamped topology - provides now up to 800A with IGBT M7. The module is suitable for solar and UPS applications up to 250kW. It has a 134.8 mm x 129.2 mm footprint.

The VINcoMNPC X4 comes with a Kelvin Emitter for improved switching performance and includes an integrated temperature sensor. It is designed for easy paralleling, low turn-off losses, and its switching has been optimized to minimize electromagnetic compatibility issues.

Housed in a low-inductive package, this mixed neutral-point clamped module's superior design comes  with many benefits, including connections are optimized for three-level topologies simplifying the busbar design.

The symmetrical layout of the VINcoMNPC X4 module serves to share current uniformly and distribute temperature evenly to extend component life. The outstanding power density and efficiency enables more compact designs.
