In article ,

So each module is a a half-bridge containing two IGBTs plus some
frewheeling diodes. What make and model?

I am using Toshiba MG100Q2Y51A GTR modules.

Intresting project your working on, there are IGBTs that might work
for your application but there going to be pricey. I did see some 600 amp
IGBTs on ebay this week that were reasonably priced. If your going to
buy some on ebay make shure you ask the seller if you can return them
should they be blown. Some sellers are selling units they claim are tested
but they are not. I had to return some that had blown gates and would not
fully turn off.

Best Regards
