Compared to Silicon IGBT modules, Silicon Carbide (SiC) LinPak devices deliver several benefits, including a massive reduction of switching losses, an increase in current density and higher maximum junction temperature. These enhancements mean power conversion system efficiency is improved, a smaller footprint is achieved and cooling requirements are much lower.

Typical applications for SiC LinPak modules include:

• Propulsion traction converters
• Turbine starters in aviation
• String inverters in photovoltaic applications
• Battery charging systems
• Auxiliary traction converters
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems

Very low inductance DC link capacitors can also be integrated with the Hitachi LinPak SiC modules:
