Abstract :
This paper will present optimized IGBT module packaging for three level inverters. Modules with nominal ratings ranging from 25 A to 600 A will be proposed. Total losses for a three level inverter using these new modules will be compared to the losses of a conventional two level inverter using newly developed computer simulation tools.
