6 FAQs about [Principle of disassembling igbt module of photovoltaic inverter]
Are insulated-gate bipolar transistors a good choice for solar inverter applications?
For solar inverter applications, it is well known that insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) ofer benefits compared to other types of power devices, like high-current-carrying capability, gate control using voltage instead of current and the ability to match the co-pack diode with the IGBT.
How does an IGBT work?
The fundamental function of the IGBT is rather simple. A positive voltage UGE from gate to emitter turns on the MOSFET. Then, the voltage connected to the collector can drive the base current through the bipolar transistor and the MOSFET; the bipolar transistor turns on and the load current can flow.
How can IGBTs be modulated?
One way to achieve this requirement is by pulse-width modulating the IGBTs at or above 20 kHz at a certain modulation frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. By using pulse-width modulation, output inductors L1 and L2 can be kept reasonably small and will suppress the harmonics efectively.
Why is the power to control an IGBT 0?
The RMS value of the gate current sums up to almost zero. Therefore, you hear very often that the power to control an IGBT is zero. This simplification often is a root cause for troubles in designing the application.
What is IGBT power device?
The idea behind this power device is to overcome the difficulty in increasing the power MOSFET current handling capability. The first IGBT concept has been presented in 1968 by Yamagami in his Japanese patent S47−21739 . Since then, many structures have been proposed. The first concept was based on the planar technology.
What is an IGBT transistor?
The most basic function of an IGBT is the fastest possible switching of electric currents, thus achieving the lowest possible switching losses. As the name “Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor” reveals, an IGBT is a bipolar transistor with an isolated gate structure; the gate itself is basically a MOSFET.
