Mitsubishi to Ship 3.3kV HVIGBT Module for Industrial Inverters
Mitsubishi Electric Launches New XB Series 3.3kV/1500A HVIGBT Module for Enhanced Industrial Equipment Efficiency
Mitsubishi Electric has announced the upcoming shipment of samples for its new XB Series high-voltage insulated-gate bipolar transistor (HVIGBT) module, a high-capacity power semiconductor designed for large industrial equipment such as railway vehicles. The 3.3kV/1500A module will be available for sampling starting May 1st.
Advanced Technology for Improved Efficiency and Reliability
This new XB Series HVIGBT module leverages Mitsubishi Electric's proprietary diode and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) elements, along with a unique chip termination structure. These advancements significantly improve moisture resistance, contributing to enhanced efficiency and reliability in inverters used in large industrial equipment operating in diverse environmental conditions.
Showcasing the XB Series at PCIM Europe 2025
Mitsubishi Electric will showcase the XB Series HVIGBT module at the Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Expo & Conference 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, from May 6th to 8th, providing an opportunity for industry professionals to learn more about its capabilities and potential applications.
Key Technological Advancements:
- Proprietary Diode and IGBT Elements:
- The module incorporates IGBT elements featuring Mitsubishi Electric's proprietary relaxed field of cathode (RFC) diode and carrier-stored trench-gate bipolar transistor (CSTBT) structure.
- These elements work in synergy to reduce total switching loss by approximately 15% compared to previous models, leading to higher efficiency in inverter systems.
- Enhanced Reverse-Recovery Safe-Operating Area (RRSOA):
- The module expands tolerance in the RRSOA by about 25% compared to previous models, significantly enhancing the reliability of inverter operations.
- Improved Moisture Resistance through Advanced Chip Termination Structure:
- By implementing a new electric field relaxation structure and a surface charge control structure in the chip's termination area, Mitsubishi Electric has achieved a 30% reduction in the area's size.
- Simultaneously, this design achieves approximately 20 times greater moisture resistance than existing products, ensuring more stable operation of inverters used in high-humidity environments.
Contributing to Carbon Neutrality
By further improving the efficiency and reliability of inverters used in large industrial equipment operating in various environments, the XB Series HVIGBT module is expected to significantly contribute to global efforts aimed at achieving carbon neutrality.
Key Applications:
- Railway vehicles
- Large industrial equipment
- Inverter systems
