4. Postscript
This paper has presented an overview and de-
scribed characteristics of Fuji Electric’s IGBT module
series for advanced-NPC circuits. This product sup-
ports applications of several tens of kVA, and will sure-
ly satisfy customer requests for high efficiency, small
size and ease of use.
In the future, Fuji Electric will expand the product
lineup of this IGBT module series for advanced-NPC
circuits, and intends to develop modules in response to
requests for higher efficiency in UPSs and the like.
