SEMIKRON SEMITRANS 20 medium-voltage power module

The SEMITRANS 20, from SEMIKRON, overcomes the limits of conventional medium-voltage module concepts and provides a design approach for inverters in applications such as transportation, industrial drives and grid infrastructure. Optimised for the medium-voltage market with the latest 3.3 kV IGBTs, the product is designed as a half-bridge configuration featuring a built-in temperature sensor and opposite DC and AC power terminals.

Compared to conventional modules, the stray inductance is said to be reduced by up to 75%, thus providing higher operational safety and easy paralleling. The device allows a high degree of scalability and flexibility in medium-voltage inverter design. The standardised package meets the increasing demands for higher efficiency and durability for power electronics in industry, transportation and infrastructure.
