Launch of New Mega Power Dual Series of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor Modules by Mitsubishi Electric
As power generation systems shift their focus on natural energy sources such as wind power or solar power, need for higher power for power conversion equipment used in such systems become more apparent. Based on this need Mitsubishi Electric made an announcement on launch of new MPD (Mega Power Dual) Series of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules targeted toward applications requiring high power density such as power converters for large capacity wind power and photovoltaic (PV) systems. The company has extended the current rating of MPD to 2,500A which is the industry’s highest among 2-element IGBT modules. To help with improved cooling efficiency in liquid-cooled applications, each chip within the package has been surfaced-mounted plate with an adequate surrounding margin. The new MPD Series is compliant with Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.The shipping of the new MPD Series will commence on January of 2010. The sample price for the 2,500A type will be 110,000 Yen and for the 1,800A type will be 120,000 Yen.
