Are double-sided cooled power modules suitable for motor drive inverters?

Abstract: Double-sided cooled (DSC) power module structures enable high power density for motor drive inverters ideal for electric vehicles (EVs).

Why are power modules used in inverters?

Power modules are a preferred choice for inverters to increase power density and reach high-efficiency targets. Compared to discrete-based solutions, they provide better heat spreading, resulting in lower thermal resistance and allowing the inverter to reach higher output power.

What is a double sided cooled power module?

Double-sided cooled (DSC) power module structures enable high power density for motor drive inverters ideal for electric vehicles (EVs). This work presents a DSC power module using fast-switching 1200 V silicon carbide mosfet devices in a half-bridge topology, with heterogeneous integration of gate control circuitry and condition monitoring.

What is the power range of the platform inverters?

The platform inverters have a power range between 0.5kW and 1.5kW. Matching these requirements with a sophisticated pin design, the time-to-market is highly decreased. With the Super Mini DIPIPM package, Mitsubishi Electric set a market standard for transfer mold IPM modules.

Why are ANPC inverters suitable for power modules?

Using ANPC inverters in power modules offers several benefits, such as less oscillations, fewer EMC problems, and low overvoltage. This enables the usage of intermediate voltage classes, enhancing the system performance. However, designing a power module with the ANPC inverter is not an easy task due to its many realization variants.

What makes XM3 a good inverter?

Parasitic elements of all critical components including the module, busbar, and capacitors are validated to ensure the lowest overall stray inductance. The XM3 module is 60% by volume smaller than equivalent power rated modules which enables the inverter to achieve a power density of 32 kW/L.
