X Series — 7th generation IGBT modules for converters, UPS and renewable inverters
Country: Japan · Model: X Series
The seventh generation X Series IGBT modules run continuously at a junction temperature of 175 °C and have 10 % lower inverter losses than the V Series. The modules are used in frequency converters, UPS, PV and wind inverters, medium voltage converters, static var generators and traction converters.

Description
Losses are reduced by reworking the surface and vertical structure of the IGBT and diode chips. The comparison was made on a 1200 V 75 A module at a switching frequency of 8 kHz, where the chip temperature fell by 11 °C relative to the sixth generation. The new insulating substrate carries heat away better, so 1200 V PIM modules are up to 36 % smaller in area. In Dual XT modules the reverse-conducting RC-IGBT raises the rated current. The range covers IPM, PIM, 6-pack, 2-pack and 1-pack housings, chopper modules, three-level modules, modules for electric and hybrid vehicles, and high-power PrimePACK and HPnC for renewables. The manufacturer uses the same modules in its own FRENIC drives, UPS and solar inverters.
How to choose
The module type is determined by the power circuit topology. Compact drives are built on PIM, a drive with a built-in driver on IPM, higher-power bridges on 2-pack or 1-pack, while three-level modules, PrimePACK and HPnC are taken for PV plant inverters and high-power renewable converters. In repair, a new module is selected by the voltage, current and housing of the old one, for which there are catalogs, selection guides and cross-reference search for equivalents. Ready-made units built on these modules are also in the catalog, namely the FRENIC-MEGA (G2) at 0.4–630 kW and PCS solar inverters with efficiency up to 98.8 %.

FAQ
By how much does the X Series reduce losses compared with the V Series?
In a 1200 V 75 A module at 8 kHz inverter losses are 10 % lower and the chip is 11 °C cooler. This margin can be spent on higher current or a smaller heatsink.
What is the permitted junction temperature of X Series IGBT modules?
Continuous operation is permitted at Tvj(op) 175 °C. This makes it possible to draw more output power from a module of the same size.
What does RC-IGBT technology give in Dual XT modules?
The reverse-conducting IGBT combines a transistor and a diode in one chip, so the rated current of the module in the same housing is higher.
Do X Series IGBT modules comply with RoHS?
Yes, the modules comply with RoHS. Some versions are made for solderless mounting, which is convenient on converter assembly lines.
