GP401LSS18

Caution: This device is sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Users should follow ESD handling procedures.

1/11

The GP401LSS18 is a single switch 1800V, robust n

channel enhancement mode insulated gate bipolar

transistor (IGBT) module. Designed for low power loss, the

module is suitable for a variety of high voltage applications

in motor drives and power conversion. The high

impedance gate simplifies gate drive considerations

enabling operation directly from low power control

circuitry.

Fast switching times allow high frequency operation

making the device suitable for the latest drive designs

employing pwm and high frequency switching. The IGBT

has a wide reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA) for

ultimate reliability in demanding applications.

These modules incorporate electrically isolated base

plates and low inductance construction enabling circuit

designers to optimise circuit layouts and utilise earthed

heat sinks for safety.

The powerline range of high power modules includes

dual and single switch configurations with a range of

current and voltage capabilities to match customer system

demands.

Typical applications include dc motor drives, ac pwm

drives, main traction drives and auxiliaries, large ups

systems and resonant inverters.
