The Powerline range of high power modules includes dual and single switch configurations covering voltages from 600V to 3300V and currents up to 4800A. The GP800DDM18 is a dual switch 1800V, n channel enhancement mode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module. The IGBT has a wide reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA) ensuring reliability in demanding applications. This device is optimised for traction drives and other applications requiring high thermal cycling capability or very high reliability. The module incorporates an electrically isolated base plate and low inductance construction enabling circuit designers to optimise circuit layouts and utilise earthed heat sinks for safety.
