Description

These series of INT-A-paks modules uses high voltage

power thyristors/ diodes in seven basic configurations.

The semiconductors are electrically isolated from the

metal base, allowing common heatsinks and compact

assemblies to be built. They can be interconnected to

form single phase or three phase bridges or as AC-

switches when modules are connected in anti-parallel.

These modules are intended for general purpose applica-

tions such as battery chargers, welders and plating

equipment and where high voltage and high current are

required (motor drives, U.P.S., etc.).

Current-Source Inverters (also known as Sequentially

Commutated Inverters) use Phase Control (as op-

posed to Fast) Thyristors and Diodes.

The advantages of Current Source Inverters lie in their

ease control, absence of large commutation induc-

tances and limited fault currents.

Their simple construction, illustrated by the circuit on

the left, is further enhanced by the use of INT-A-paks

which allow the power circuit of an Inverter to be

realised with 6 capacitors and 9 INT-A-paks all mounted

on just one heatsink.

The optimal design of Current Source Inverters re-

quires the use of Diodes with blocking voltages greater

than those of the thyristors .

This departure from conventional half-bridge modules

is catered for by INT-A-pak range with Thyristors up to

2000V and Diodes up to 3200V.
