Tha semiconductors are elec- trically isolated from the metal base, allowing common heatsinks and compact assemblies to be built. They can be interconnected te form single phase or three phase bridges or as AC-switches when modules are connected in anti-parallel mode. These modules are intended for general purpose applica- tions such as battery chargers, welders and plating equip- ment and where high voltage and high current are required (motor drives, U.P.S., etc.).

Current Source Inverter using 9 MAGN-A-paks Current Source Inverters Current-Source Inverters (also known as Sequentially Commutated Inverters) use Phase Control (as opposed to Fast} Thyristors and Diodes. The advantages of Current Source Inverters lie in their easecontrol, absence of largecommutationinductances and limited faultcurrents. Their simple construction, illustrated by the circuit onthe left, is further enhanced by the use of MAGN-A-paks which allowthe power circuit ofan Inverter to be realised with 6capacitors andS MAGN-A-paks all mounted on just one heatsink. The optimal design of Current Source Inverters requires the use of Diodes with blocking voltages greater than those of the thyristors . Thisdeparture from conventional half-bridge modulesis catered for by MAGN-A-pak range with Thyristors up to 2000V and Diodes upto3200V. www.irf.comInternational IRK.170, .230, .250 Series TOR Rectifier Bulletin 127102 rev.
