SEMIKRON expands MiniSKiiP product platform
by twin 6-pack for regenerative inverters
New power modules with twin 6-pack circuit topology help to develop
cost efficient and compact regenerative inverters by using one single
module instead of two.
Nuremberg, 19. May, 2015
SEMIKRON’s MiniSKiiP power module platform is designed for 600V/650V, 1200V and 1700V with
a current range from 4A to 400A and provides a comprehensive setup of circuit topologies. The
SPRiNG Technology for the power and control terminals enables fast, cost-effective and solderfree assembly of the circuit board, cooling unit and power module. MiniSKiiP is primarily used in
industrial motor drives, solar inverters and power supplies. In addition to a vast range of circuit
topologies, higher integrated MiniSKiiP Twin power modules with two independent 1200V 6-packs
in one package are available now.
Constantly rising energy costs drive the trend for energy savings and regenerating concepts.
Especially systems moving mechanical load by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy can
be used for regeneration by feeding the brake energy back into the AC supply network instead of
“burning” it at a brake resistor. Higher integrated and optimised MiniSKiiP Twin power modules
provide a significant advantage for developing compact regenerative inverters by reducing the
inverter size and number of used components resulting in a system cost reduction. MiniSKiiP Twin
power modules are dedicated to all kinds of inverters with an integrated regeneration function,
also known as four-quadrant inverters, used in applications like elevators, escalators, cranes and
winches, where the mechanical energy of the motor and connected load will be converted into
electrical energy for returning (or regenerating) back to the AC supply grid.
MiniSKiiP Twin power modules are available with a nominal current rating from 8A to 35A per 6pack. Further types with higher current rates are under consideration.

About SEMIKRON
SEMIKRON is one of the world's leading manufacturers of power modules and systems primarily
in the medium output range (approx. 2 kW up to 10 MW). Our products are at the heart of
modern energy efficient motor drives and industrial automation systems. Further application
areas include power supplies, renewable energies (wind and solar power) and utility vehicles.
SEMIKRON's innovative power electronic products enable our customers to develop smaller, more
energy efficient power electronic systems. These systems in turn reduce the global energy
demand.
SEMIKRON is a family owned business founded in 1951, headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany.
Today it has more than 2,800 employees in 30 subsidiaries world-wide. The international network
of operational companies with production sites in Germany, Brazil, China, France, Germany,
