Abstract :
We present a feasibility study of low-voltage drives based on double-sided cooled power modules. A novel press-pack module was developed, and an inverter was built up subsequently. The drive was benchmarked with a 400-kW ac industrial inverter. A significant increase in the current density and output power was achieved.
