Abstract
This paper presents a new 1200V 5th generation IGBT module that has been optimized specifically for applications requiring hard turn-on switching and operating frequencies of 15KHz to 30KHz. The module also features reduced turn-off losses compared to standard industrial devices making it suitable pure hard switching applications requiring high PWM frequencies such as sinusoidal output inverters for alternate energy utility interface and high precision industrial motor drives.
