Efficient IGBT Discrete Solution for Welding Equipment


—— Enabling more stable, energy-efficient, and compact welding systems with state-of-the-art Trench Field Stop technology
Core Pain Points in Welding Equipment Industry
1.Poor Arc Stability
Insufficient switching speed of conventional devices causes difficult arc ignition and inconsistent weld beads
2.Excessive Energy Consumption
High conduction losses lead to excessive heat generation with <85% electrical utilization efficiency
3.Bulky Form Factor
Cooling systems occupy >40% of chassis volume, compromising portability
4.High-Temperature Failure
Thermal runaway rate under sustained high-current operation is 3× industry average
