With modular power systems EMC regulations, low stray inductance design, high protection standards and very low costs must be considered. High power systems for converters and inverters from 300A up to 1550A, with the latest IGBT technology, are important for companies which can provide a controller board. Niche applications like dynamometers, sugar mills and gearless elevators are now business fields of innovative small and medium sized companies. Semikron's modular power system can fulfil the requirements of high power applications for alternative power sources. This power system is developed to fulfil all standards and is flexible in handling.Designers of many high-power systems (up to 200kW), particularly in developing market sectors such as windmills and distributed power generation, often act as systems integrators and in some cases may not have interest in the detailed knowledge of power electronics. The speed of the development of silicon makes it necessary to adapt all interfacing components such as heatsinks, drivers, capacitors, snubbers and busbars. These designers need reliable system building blocks to serve their power needs, but they also need versatile solutionswhich can best be provided by a modular approach. Modular power systems also offer user benefits in terms of lower costs and shorter lead time.
