Custom power stack design for Si, SiC and GaN inverters, co-optimizing the heat sink, bus bar, high-speed fuse and capacitor; programmable 1.2 kV 150 kVA SiC evaluation kit.
Power Stack Design, Manufacturing & Testing — Evaluation Kits
Inverter designers need higher power density (kW/litre), lower conversion losses, lower cost ($/kW) and smaller, lighter systems. With its reputation in bus bar, cooling, high-speed fuse and capacitor design and manufacturing, Mersen brings cross-expertise on these four key products to the development of silicon, gallium nitride or silicon carbide-based inverters and stacks.
A total customization approach: agnostic to circuit topology (3-level, NPC, bi-directional, DC-DC boost / buck, back-to-back…), semiconductor technology (SiC, GaN, Si) and power module type. Dimensions, cooling type (air, liquid, heat pipe), power range, current rating, switching frequency and voltage (1.2 kV, 1.7 kV, 3.3 kV modules or more) are tailored to the customer.
Evaluation kits: the new fully programmable 1.2 kV 150 kVA SiC V2.0 power stack including the Imperix B-Board digital controller — a pre-designed solution for e-mobility, DC smart grids, industrial power systems and renewable energy.
- Design control down to materials level — cooling, bus bar, fuse, capacitor
- Accelerated time-to-market — simultaneous component design
- Supply chain integration — 4 main passives from one source
- Multi-physics simulation — mechanical, thermal, electrical, electromagnetic
- Assembly and testing service — off-load ICT and on-load (R, C, L) testing
- Global manufacturing footprint — design centres in the US and France, dual / triple sourcing
