Introduction

IGBT module selection is critical for reliable power electronics design. This guide covers key parameters and selection criteria.

Voltage Rating Selection

Select IGBT voltage rating 2-3x maximum DC link voltage. For 400V AC systems, use 1200V IGBT. For 690V AC, use 1700V IGBT.

Current Rating Sizing

Size current rating with 1.5-2x margin for overload capability. Consider RMS current, peak current, and thermal limitations.
