Description

The Powerline range of high power modules GP801DCM18 includes dual and single switch configurations covering voltages from 1200V to 3300V and currents up to 4800A.

The GP801DCM18 is an 1800V, n channel enhancement mode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) chopper module. Designed with low V_CE(SAT) to minimise conduction losses, the module is of particular relevance in low to medium frequency applications. The IGBT has a wide reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA) ensuring reliability in demanding applications. GP801DCM18 is optimised for traction drives and other applications requiring high thermal cycling capability.

The GP801DCM18 incorporates an electrically isolated base plate and low inductance construction enabling circuit designers to optimise circuit layouts and utilise earthed heat sinks for safety.
