Vincotech Introduces Efficient Power Module Solution with MNPC Topology

March 21, 2011 by Jeff Shepard

Vincotech has released a new low-inductive power module designed for power applications up to 250kW, such as three-phase solar inverters. The new 3xflowMNPC 4w features a higher power rating in the new wide-body housing. Its Mixed voltage Neutral Point Clamped (MNPC) topology provides maximum efficiency for higher switching frequencies.

This remarkably efficient power module integrates all three phases of the MNPC inverter topology into a new low-inductive package with a high-power screw interface. The MNPC topology cuts output filter effort and filter losses by more than 50%, and switching losses by 50%.

Rated for 1200V/600A, the module is destined for solar and UPS applications. Its low-inductive design and onboard dc capacitors extend maximum PWM frequencies up to 20kHz, which is unique in this power range.

The 3xflowMNPC 4w low-inductive power module is available in the 12mm flowSCREW 4w housing and samples can be ordered via standard sales channels.
