Circuit breaker for DC power grids investigated

There are many advantages to using direct current rather than the alternating current used today. For example, when using direct current there are 5-7% less losses in power grids and electric devices. Direct current also makes it possible to more efficiently feed electric energy from regenerative sources into power grids and energy storage and therefore it improves grid stability.

Infineon Extends Life Time of IHM-B Modules: High Power Semiconductors Now Last Up to 11 Times Longer

In the future it will be possible to use IGBT High Power Modules (IHM) from Infineon Technologies AG even longer. More robust construction and greatly improved thermal conductivity behaviour increase the average life time in comparison to previous models by a factor of up to 11 under the same conditions of use. A major advantage here is that the electrical and mechanical parameters of the module remain the same in spite of the necessary changes i...
