Functional Power Module Technology: Providing Power Modules Perfectly Matched to The Specification

We develop highly efficient, highly functional power modules for inverters, converters etc., using our unique power circuit and in-car mounting technology along with our own power semiconductors. In particular, we adapt our semiconductors to the specifications of the final product to attain superior efficiency, miniaturization and weight savings.

Overview:

The functional power modules we develop use many of power semiconductors of our own manufacture, such as diodes, thyristors, and MOSFETs. We also utilize our unique circuit technology in single phase and 3-phase bridges, etc., to help heighten the efficiency of products. With the power semiconductors we install ranging widely from tens to 600 V and tens to 100 A, synergy with our semiconductor business is one of the strengths of our products. With many years of accomplishments in in-car mounting technology, we develop and supply products of high quality. Also, we select the mounting substrate materials best suited for the output current, application, etc., and have a ready system to respond flexibly to custom specifications by incorporating predrivers, etc.

Technology Details:

The construction of functional power modules fit to the unit

1)  Single-phase/3-phase bridges
   Power semiconductors of our own manufacture installed, such as diodes, thyristors, and MOSFETs
2)  Predrivers
   Power semiconductor predrivers can be installed. Some common kinds of predrivers, for illustration, include non-insulating-type bootstrap systems, suitable for synchronous rectification, and floating systems.
3)  Applications
   A broad range of markets are supported, including industrial devices and the automotive market.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
