Description

The IPM module has high cost and poor versatility, and the discrete IGBT module is usually used to solve the above problems. When the IBGT module works, heat is generated by the current passing through the chip, and high temperature has adverse effects on the performance of the IGBT module, such as reducing the switching speed and increasing the switching loss. Only timely heat dissipation can control the temperature of the IGBT module within a reasonable range and ensure that the controller works stably according to the design requirements. The controller is a closed structure, and heat is generated by electronic components during work, which needs to be dissipated, especially the IGBT module, otherwise the service life of the electronic components will be shortened, and even the controller or the motor will fail.
