Fifth generation technology improves the characteristics of fourth generation IGBT and (free-wheeling diode) FWD devices, both switching behavior and electrical losses are improved. Furthermore, an ...

This paper presents a novel 3-phase IGBT module called the SPM (Smart Power Module). This is a new design developed to provide a very compact, low cost, high perfor- mance and reliable motor drive ...

With the race towards highest efficiency, innovative topologies are more often considered for the development of new power conversion products. A device with the low ON state voltage of an IGBT and ...

Dimming of fluorescent lighting offers significant benefits – giving users control of their own lighting, and realizing energy savings. In certain environments dimming is a must, for instance in a ...
