Heat Dissipation Characteristics Double-sided/single-sided heat dissipation
Thermal resistance: 6.8K/kW
Flexible heat dissipation design adapts to different installation scenarios, ensuring stable operation in high-temperature environments.
Mechanical Characteristics Uniform pressure mounting force: 36-60kN Ensures good contact between the chip and heat sink, reduces thermal resistance, and extends service life.

Performance Advantages

  • High Efficiency and Low Loss
    The on-state voltage drop is 25% lower than the previous generation. Combined with fast switching characteristics, the overall system efficiency is improved by approximately 15%, making it particularly suitable for high-power equipment operating continuously (such as high-voltage motor drives).
  • High Reliability Design
    • Adopts snubberless turn-off technology, simplifying circuit design and reducing fault points;
    • Supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +150°C, adapting to harsh industrial environments (such as metallurgy and mining).
  • Intelligent Monitoring and Diagnostics
    Four-color LED status indicators (power, gate, fault, ready), combined with fiber optic status feedback (SF port), realize real-time fault early warning.
  • Modular Design
    Compatible with the same series of packages, facilitating system upgrades or maintenance replacements and reducing maintenance costs.

Application Scenarios

  • High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission
    As the core component of converter valves, it realizes megawatt-level power conversion, suitable for cross-regional power grid interconnection and offshore wind power grid integration.
  • Industrial Drive Systems
    Used for variable frequency speed regulation of high-power motors such as rolling mills and mine hoists, providing precise torque control and dynamic response.
  • Renewable Energy
    • Wind power converters (above 2MW): Adapt to a wide temperature range and high-frequency start-stop;
    • Photovoltaic power plant boost inverters: Improve the efficiency and stability of large-scale photovoltaic grid connection.
  • Special Power Supplies
    • Electrolytic hydrogen production power supplies: Support high-current density electrolyzers to improve hydrogen production efficiency;
    • Electromagnetic 弹射 systems: Meet the demand for short-term high-power pulse output.
