A range of 13 new products have been introduced by Renesas to its 7th-generation Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) lineup. The new IGBTs include the RJH/RJP65S series for 650V and RJP1CS series for 1250V.
These are power semiconductor devices used in systems that convert DC into AC power, and are designed for applications that handle high voltages and large currents, such as power conditioners (power converters) for solar power generators and industrial motors.
Compared to the previous generation technology, products series of 600V and 1200V, the 7th-generation portfolio has higher voltage rating 650V and 1250V to address low temperature performance requirements and overvoltage blocking.
The IGBTs are suitable in motor controls applications so are ideal for a variety of different devices.
In such cases the device short circuit capability is a design critical selecion parameter. The series comes with a 10µs rated short circuit tolerance making it suitable for motors in general.
