SKAITM 2
3-phase inverter systems up to 250 kVA
for electric vehicle applications
Applications
SEMIKRON’s SKAI2 product platform is predestined
for use in automotive applications. The systems are
designed to operate with battery voltages of 24 - 800 V,
output power ratings of 10 - 250 kVA, and are developed
in line with the latest automotive and system qualication
standards. The standard systems are supplied with
low-voltage MOSFETs or high-voltage IGBTs in single
or dual conguration.
semiconductor technology for an output power
of up to 250 kVA. It features a polypropylene lm
DC-link capacitor, driver electronics, a state of the art DSP
controller, EMC lters, and sensors for current, voltage
and temperature monitoring. All system components will
be protected by a waterproof IP67 metal case against
environmental impacts. The system can communicate
with the vehicle master controller via CANbus.
The low-voltage SKAI2 MOSFET 3-phase inverter
systems are available in different congurations
regarding cooling, battery voltage and topology.
It is mainly used in medium power electric vehicle
applications with motor power of up to 55 kVA. They
have extremely short bus-bar connections between the
MOSFET dice and multicell DC bus capacitor,
leading to low inductance in the commutation
circuit. This results in a switching behavior with very
low voltage overshoot. The utilization of maximum
MOSFET drain-source voltage as well as power density
is high. The inverter is integrated in a waterproof
IP67 enclosure but with the cost-effective solution
of leaving the power terminals open. Thermal and
electrical contact of SKAI2 systems are based on
SKiiP pressure-contact technology. This results in
extended service life and high load cycling capability.

Benets
The high-voltage SKAI2 is available as a water-cooled
600 V or 1200 V IGBT-based 3-phase inverter system.
It has been optimized for electrication of commer-
cial vehicle drive trains. This system is based on the
established, sintered, and 100 % solder-free power
