The GP800DDS12 is a dual switch 1200V, robust n
channel enhancement mode insulated gate bipolar
transistor (IGBT) module. Designed for low power loss, the
module is suitable for a variety of high voltage applications
in motor drives and power conversion. The high
impedance gate simplifies gate drive considerations
enabling operation directly from low power control
circuitry.
Fast switching times allow high frequency operation
making the device suitable for the latest drive designs
employing pwm and high frequency switching. The IGBT
has a wide reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA) for
ultimate reliability in demanding applications.
These modules incorporate electrically isolated base
plates and low inductance construction enabling circuit
designers to optimise circuit layouts and utilise earthed
heat sinks for safety.
The powerline range of high power modules includes
dual and single switch configurations with a range of
current and voltage capabilities to match customer system
demands.
Typical applications include dc motor drives, ac pwm
drives, main traction drives and auxiliaries, large ups
systems and resonant inverters.
