Key components of demanding applications
Hitachi Energy’s semiconductors are key components in a variety of demanding applications in markets like power transmission & distribution, industry, mobility and renewable energy. Customers rely on Hitachi Energy’s high quality power semiconductor products and use them in applications in power ranges from 50 kW to 10 GW.
Applications
- Power transmission and distribution (HVDC, FACTS, STATCOM and others)
- Industry (medium and low-voltage drives, soft starters, UPSs, high-power rectifiers, excitation systems and others)
- Renewable energy (converters for pumped hydro, wind turbines and solar)
- Mobility (rail and subway main and auxiliary drives, trackside power supply / electrical vehicles)
High-power IGBT and diode modules
Hitachi Energy offers three categories of high-power IGBT and diode modules: Insulated, press-pack and the newly launched SiC modules for e-mobility applications.
Insulated modules consist of the new innovative, low inductive phase leg LinPak and the well-established HiPak lineup with more than 15 years and more than 1 million modules in the field. Press-pack modules are a range of pressure contact IGBT modules also known as StakPak. StakPaks are Hitachi Energy’s flagship products with record power ratings up to 5200 V and more than 3000 A.
The new e-mobility module portfolio takes advantage of silicon carbide (SiC) technology, offering benefits like high-current rating in a small package and a with very low stray inductance.
Hitachi Energy’s power IGBT and diode module families are:
- RoadPak modules
- LinPak IGBT & SiC MOSFET modules
- HiPak IGBT and diode modules
- StakPak IGBT press-pack modules
