Expert insights on accessories and driver selection
For high-noise environments, we recommend SKYPER series drivers with enhanced common-mode transient immunity (CMTI). These drivers maintain stable operation even with fast switching semiconductors that generate significant switching noise. The galvanic isolation ensures reliable operation in electrically harsh conditions.
When thermal management is critical, consider Semikron's thermal interface materials with optimized thermal conductivity. The proper interface material selection, combined with appropriate heatsink sizing, directly impacts the operational lifetime of power modules. For high-power applications, liquid cooling may be more appropriate than air cooling.
For safety-critical applications, ensure selected accessories include appropriate protection features. SKYPER drivers offer comprehensive protection including desaturation detection, under-voltage lockout, and active clamping. These features significantly enhance system reliability in critical applications.
