The IRPT2060A Power Module

The IRPT2060A power module, shown in figure 1, is a chip and wire epoxy encapsulated module. It houses input rectifiers, brake IGBT and freewheeling diode, output inverter, current sense shunts and NTC thermistor. The single-phase input bridge rectifiers are rated at 800V. The inverter section uses 600V, short circuit rated, ultrafast IGBTs and ultrafast freewheeling diodes. Current sensing is achieved through 25 mΩ low inductance shunts provided in the positive and negative DC bus rail. The NTC thermistor provides temperature sensing capability. The lead spacing on the power module meets UL840 pollution level 3 requirements.
