Application Field
The IRG4BH20K-L IGBT has a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and other high power applications. The IGBT is particularly suited for high temperature operations and can be used in automotive systems such as electric power steering, air conditioner controls, engine controllers, power supplies and motor controllers. In industrial applications, the IGBT is useful in power converters, UPS systems and motor controls. It can also be used for RF power amplifiers and in high power, high frequency applications. Additionally, it has been used in high power solar and wind power converters, motor controllers and other medium power applications.
Working Principle
The IRG4BH20K-L IGBT operates on the principle of a controlled current flow between two electrodes. When a small voltage is applied to the base electrode, a larger voltage is created across the collector and emitter electrodes. This increase in voltage dramatically reduces the resistance of the IGBT and allows the current to flow. The IGBT can then be “switched” on and off by controlling the level of current that flows through it. This switching action makes it ideal for applications such as motor control, power converters and power supplies.
The IRG4BH20K-L IGBT has an efficient energy healing design that equates to an overall higher efficiency in power conversion. The product is designed for long term stability and superior electrical isolation for high temperature operations. It is also a low power input device and requires a low gate drive voltage to achieve on or off switching.
Conclusion
The IRG4BH20K-L IGBT is a single IGBT device that is developed for use for various high power applications. It exhibits excellent thermal and dielectric characteristics and has a low power input and low gate drive requirements. The IGBT operates on the principle of controlling current flow through two electrodes with a voltage applied to the base electrode. This makes this product suitable for applications such as motor control, power converters and power supplies.
