Abstract :
Converteam recently has introduced the MV7000 series of medium voltage drives, designed with Press Pack IGBT (PPI) in 3-level NPC topology in the power range from 4 MW to 32 MW [3]. PPI combines the benefits of disk type device technology with state-of-the-art semiconductor technology. This paper explains relevant technical features and design issues related to MV7000 including direct series connection of devices.
