I believe (90%) that you can't parallel IGBT's. You can only buy the biggest module you can. However, that would not be the case for multi-phase AC - each phase could be driven by a module.

I'm starting to think DIY here, but time/budget aren't there for me right now. I would love to develop a DIY 3-phase AC igbt-based controller.
