Low-Loss 1200V IGBT Series from STMicroelectronics Reduces Energy Use in Everyday Motor Drives
A new series of power transistors from STMicroelectronics reduces the environmental impact of daily-use equipment such as home appliances, HVAC systems, and industrial machines by minimizing the two major sources of energy loss in motor-control circuits. The STGW30N120KD and the STGW40N120KD are Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) that have low energy loss when conducting, like an ordinary IGBT, and also reduce losses while switching.
