Munich/Germany, April 9, 2014 – Vincotech, a supplier of module-based solutions for power electronics, has unveiled the new flow3xMNPC 1 modules featuring three mixed-voltage NPCs in a single flow 1 housing. Developed for 1200 V solar three-phase inverter applications, they enable engineers to design compact, space-saving inverters with excellent efficiency ratings. The flow3xMNPC 1 module performs remarkably well, achieving around 98.7% efficiency in typical 16-kHz solar applications.
Measuring 82 mm by 38 mm and 12 or 17 mm in height, these modules support three phases in one flow 1 housing. They are equipped with 1200 V IGBT4 HS3s (high speed) in the half bridge and 600 V IGBT3s with low saturation voltage and ultra fast Stealth™ diodes in the neutral path.
The new modules are actually dual-module solutions that combine a booster and three-phase inverter, which makes them a superior option for smaller inverters where space is limited and a small footprint is necessary. What’s more, rather than using a common emitter that requires seven power supplies, the M74x topology features a common collector configuration, thereby reducing the number of power supplies for the gate driver to five.

The IGBTs in all modules are equipped Kelvin Emitters to boost switching performance and an NTC for measuring temperature. Our VincotechISE simulation tool provides flow3xMNPC 1 simulation models.
The modules are in serial production and samples are available via the standard sales channels. Press-fit versions are also available on request.
