Description:
The POW-R-BLOK™ combines
multiple power semiconductor
devices in a single, electrically
isolated module. POW-R-BLOK™
can ser ve as the essential circuit
element in many industrial applica-
tions, such as motor speed control
and batter y chargers.This dual
SCR module is available for use in
120, 240, 480 or 575 volt power
line applications.
POW-R-BLOK™ features a self
contained electrical isolation
system. By using high thermal
conductivity BeO ceramic
isolators, excellent circuit-to-
baseplate isolation (2500 volts
RMS) has been achieved, while
maintaining efficient cooling of the
semiconductors. All ED Series
SCRs use the “di/Namic” gate
structure for ease of triggering
and high di/dt capability.
