4 FAQs about Photovoltaic inverter IGBT composition

Are insulated-gate bipolar transistors a good choice for solar inverter applications?

For solar inverter applications, it is well known that insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) ofer benefits compared to other types of power devices, like high-current-carrying capability, gate control using voltage instead of current and the ability to match the co-pack diode with the IGBT.

What is a 4th IGBT?

The fourth IGBT is a trench-gate IGBT optimized to deliver low con-duction and switching losses for high-frequency switching such as in solar inverter applications. An IGBT is basically a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) with a metal oxide semiconductor gate structure.

What is a solar inverter?

solar inverter is a power-electronic circuit that con-verts dc voltage from a solar array panel to ac voltage that can be used to power ac loads such as home appliances, lighting and power tools. However, getting the most out of such a topology requires careful analysis and the right choice of the high-side and low-side combination of an IGBT.

Which IGBT has the lowest vceon?

As can be seen in the table, a standard-speed IGBT has the lowest VCEON, but the slowest fall time compared to the other two fast and ultrafast planar IGBTs. The fourth IGBT is a trench-gate IGBT optimized to deliver low con-duction and switching losses for high-frequency switching such as in solar inverter applications.
