Description

The GP401LSS18 is a single switch 1800V, robust n channel enhancement mode insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module. Designed for low power loss, the module is suitable for a variety of high voltage applications in motor drives and power conversion. The high impedance gate simplifies gate drive considerations enabling operation directly from low power control circuitry.

Fast switching times allow high frequency operation making the device suitable for the latest drive designs employing pwm and high frequency switching. The GP401LSS18 has a wide reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA) for ultimate reliability in demanding applications.

GP401LSS18 incorporate electrically isolated base plates and low inductance construction enabling circuit designers to optimise circuit layouts and utilise earthed heat sinks for safety.

The powerline range of high power modules GP401LSS18 includes dual and single switch configurations with a range of current and voltage capabilities to match customer system demands.

GP401LSS18 applications include dc motor drives, ac pwm drives, main traction drives and auxiliaries, large ups systems and resonant inverters.
