New Modules for Photovoltaic String and Multi-String Inverters

Infineon

Infineon is launching a new family of modules designed specifically for photovoltaic string and multi-string inverters. The new devices optimize the efficiency and performance of inverters. They can be assembled quickly and without solder using Infineon´s proven PressFIT technology.

New Modules for Photovoltaic String and Multi-String Inverters

The new family includes 3-level inverter and flexible booster modules for 3-phase photovoltaic inverters. These modules are suitable for PV inverters with a maximum DC input voltage of 1000V, maximum efficiency above 98 percent and an output power of up to 25kVA. Three inverter modules – each one with a 3-level phase leg assembly – can be combined with as many booster modules as required. State-of-the-art chips such as Infineon’s HighSpeed 3 IGBTs ensure outstanding efficiency and performance. Module types with SiC diodes are also available and up to four MPP trackers can be used with just one booster module.

Features

  • Modular solution tailored to most inverter designs
  • Excellent efficiency and performance
  • High maximum DC voltages achievable
  • Wide input voltage rangethanks to built-in boosters
  • Reactive power capability supported
  • Simple assembly due to PressFIT pins (solderable)

Applications

  • Three-phase photovoltaic inverters
  • Battery chargers
  • Three-phase PFC input for various applications such as air conditioners and fans
