PP150T120

Overview

The Powerex PP150T120 is a POW-R-PAK™ configurable IGBT-based power assembly rated for 150A collector current and 1200V blocking voltage. It integrates F-series trench gate IGBTs with low conduction and switching losses, mounted on a forced air-cooled heatsink. The unit includes a DC-link capacitor bank of 3300 µF, isolated gate drive power supplies, and a control board providing overvoltage, undervoltage lockout, overcurrent, overtemperature, and short circuit detection. It supports DC bus voltages up to 800VDC and switching frequencies above 20kHz.

Feature Summary

• Configurable topology supporting converter, chopper, half/full bridge, or three-phase inverter applications
• Integrated gate drive with fault monitoring and protection features including shoot-through prevention
• Low inductance laminated bus structure combined with optically isolated gate drive interfaces
• Built-in system status LEDs and analog feedback for output current, DC link voltage, and heatsink temperature

Applications

• Motor control systems
• Power supply units
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
• General power conversion applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision suffix if required, as datasheets may indicate tentative versions. Confirm thermal interface material compatibility with the specified mounting torque values. Ensure the cooling solution provides at least 1500 LFM airflow to maintain junction temperatures within the -40°C to +150°C operating range. Validate that the control board connector matches the recommended 26-pin IDC socket specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this assembly for high-efficiency applications requiring integrated protection and feedback. The F-series trench gate technology minimizes switching losses compared to standard planar devices. Consider the 3300 µF integrated capacitance when designing external filtering requirements. Ensure the driving logic aligns with the 0-15V PWM input thresholds and open-collector error outputs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Powerex POW-R-PAK™ series, which offers modular power solutions combining IGBT modules with intelligent gate drive electronics. The series is designed to simplify system integration by reducing external component count and wiring complexity for medium-power industrial drives and converters.
