Application introduction of a small IPM for inverter washing machine

This paper present presents the design points of a small IPM from Mitsubishi electric SLIMDIP series of Dual In In-line Package intelligent power module for inverter washing machine application. By adopting high performance 2nd Gen. RC RC-IGBT chip and optimized package d esign, SLIMDIP achieved higher performance and lower cost which is a suitable product for inverter washing machine application. For inverter washing machine application, thermal design design, power cycle life are very important for the reliable operation of SLIM DIP which may operate with natural wind cooling heat heat-sink and frequent thermal shock . In this paper, SLIMDIP features, circuit design design, power loss simulation, power cycle life evaluation are introduced. Example is given to analyze how to design and evaluate SLIMDIPSLIMDIP-S for inverter washing machine application application.
