Medium voltage (MV) drive - Infineon Technologies

Overview

Reliable, robust and compact drives in challenging environments

The most complex and challenging technical environments in the world are found in heavy industry. Heavy industry applications require reliable, robust, and compact drives. Particular attention is paid to minimizing drive train downtime. Medium voltage drives are found in the following applications: Mining, oil and gas, raw materials, chemical and petrochemical, and cement industries.

Infineon offers a wide range of suitable solutions for these applications. It does not matter if you choose a 2-level topology, multi-level topology, or a cascaded H-bridge solution, Infineon has the right products. In the lower-rated current range of less than 900 A, 62mm modules and EconoDUAL™ 3 is suitable. For higher required nominal currents we recommend PrimePACK™ IGBT Modules, IGBT modules in IHV housing, and XHP™ 3 modules. Our suitable answer for extreme lifetime requirements is our PrimePACK .XT.
