Mitsubishi Electric to Launch HV100 dual type X-Series HVIGBT ModulesFor extra powerful and efficient inverter systems in railways, electric power systems and more

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 3389

TOKYO, December 17, 2020 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today the coming launch of two new HV100 dual type X-Series HVIGBT modules for higher power, efficiency and reliability in inverter systems for large industrial equipment such as railways and electric power systems. The modules achieve industry-leading* dual type 600A current ratings with 10kVrms isolation voltage, believed to be unmatched among silicon HVIGBT modules rated at 3.3kV. Sample shipments will start in April 2021.

  1. *According to Mitsubishi Electric research as of December 17, 2020.

X-Series HVIGBT module HV100 dual type

Product Features

  1. 1)Industry-leading 600A rating for increased capacity
    • Current rating of 600A, tops among high-current-density dual types with 10 kVrms isolation voltage and 3.3kV collector-emitter voltage, will help realize high-power, high-efficiency inverter systems for large industrial equipment such as electric railways and DC transmission systems.
    • Seventh-generation IGBTs incorporating CSTBT and RFC diodes achieve 8.57A/cm2 power density, unsurpassed by other Si-modules (3.3kV/600A version).
  2. 2)High isolation voltage and easy parallel connection for flexible circuit configurations and capacities
    • HV100 package with 10kVrms isolation voltage will help simplify insulation design in multi-level circuits for large industrial equipment.
    • Terminal layout is optimized for easy paralleling and more flexible inverter configurations.
  3. 3)New package structure for more reliable inverter systems
    • Integration of the isolating plate and heat sink increases the thermal cycle lifetime for relatively long-term cycling of case temperatures.
    • Lower thermal resistance increases power cycle lifetime for relatively short-term cycling of chip temperatures.
