PARALLELING SYSTEMS FOR IGBTS AND THEIR IMPROVEMENT

Widespread application of IGBTs in the past two decades has resulted in dramatic improvement in performance of power electronic converters, the efficiency of these devices has made its mark, reducing the cost of power electronic systems and  improving their own reliability, making them the first option of the manufacturing industry, Paralleling systems for IGBTS and diodes is one of the best alternatives to achieve a best performance.


The conclusion is that paralleling systems for igbts provides an advantage due to the improved thermal behavior of several small chips rather than fewer big ones. The breakthrough in performance is seen when real life data of parameter variations within one power module are considered, instead of the datasheet values, which suggest a much higher spread than actually seen in real life.
