Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting and Handling:

   • Ensure that the mounting surface is clean and flat.
   • Use a thermal compound to enhance heat dissipation between the module and the heatsink.
   • Torque the mounting screws to the recommended value to avoid damage.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector (C), emitter (E), and gate (G) terminals correctly.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and free from short circuits.
   • Use insulated wires to prevent electrical hazards.

3. Thermal Management:

   • The module must be mounted on a suitable heatsink to dissipate the heat generated during operation.
   • Ensure adequate airflow around the heatsink to maintain the operating temperature within the specified range.

4. Gate Drive:

   • Apply a gate-emitter voltage (Vge) within the specified range to turn the IGBT on and off.
   • Use a gate resistor to control the switching speed and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).

5. Overcurrent Protection:

   • Implement overcurrent protection to prevent damage to the IGBT in case of a fault.
   • Monitor the collector current (Ic) and shut down the IGBT if it exceeds the maximum rating.

6. Storage:

   • Store the module in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and corrosive environments.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.

7. Testing:

   • Before installing the module, perform a visual inspection to ensure there are no visible defects.
   • Test the module using a multimeter or an IGBT tester to verify its functionality.

8. Safety Precautions:

   • Always follow proper safety procedures when working with high voltages and currents.
   • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses.

9. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the module according to local environmental regulations and guidelines for electronic waste.
