Technical FAQs 4

Are insulated-gate bipolar transistors a good choice for solar inverter applications?

For solar inverter applications, it is well known that insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) ofer benefits compared to other types of power devices, like high-current-carrying capability, gate control using voltage instead of current and the ability to match the co-pack diode with the IGBT.

Why is IGBT used in inverter applications?

Understanding why IGBT is used in inverter applications helps in proper implementation: High Voltage Handling – Supports hundreds to thousands of volts. Fast Switching – Reduces power loss in high-frequency circuits. Efficiency – Lower heat generation compared to older transistors. Reliability – Robust under heavy loads when used correctly.

Does Huawei make solar inverters?

The review revealed that Huawei is a major global manufacturer of telecommunications equipment and has recently entered the solar inverter manufacturing segment. Huawei inverters have been used on a significant number of MW-scale solar projects around the world, notably in China, the UK and India.

What is IGBT (Insulated gate bipolar transistor)?

The IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is a semiconductor based device that provides the high frequency switching within the IGBT bridge. IGBT utilises homogenous silicon which is widely used in inverter design and is extensively understood.
