March 2022 – SEMIKRON’s Power Electronics for Motor Drives
Published on: 18/03/2022
Introducing Semikron’s power electronics for motor drives
Since their inception, Semikron has been committed to supplying solutions for every power range of motor drives. Starting with the first insulated power module, rectifier modules from the SEMIPACK series more than 40 years ago, the MiniSKiiP in particular has revolutionised the motor drive design for low and medium power systems. Completed with industry standard power modules such as SEMiX and SEMITRANS, the portfolio is made complete with high-power SKiiP 4 IPMs and power electronic stacks. The new generation 7 IGBTs boost performance and power density.

IGBT 7
Semikron’s latest generation 7 IGBTs are designed specifically for motor drive applications. They bring about major reductions in forward voltage drop and allow for smaller chip sizes. This increases power density by up to 45% thanks to higher nominal current ratings in the same module package.
