PFC Modules Handle 1kW to 6kW

December 01, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

Vincotech today announced the release of flowPFC 0 CD modules. Engineered to optimize energy quality and consumption for welding, switched-mode power supplies and embedded drive applications rated from 1- to 6-kW, these power factor correction modules draw maximum power from the grid.

The new flowPFC 0 CD modules feature highly efficient rectifiers with a shunt resistor current sensor and ultra-fast, two-legged PFCs with diodes for zero loss current sensing via external transformers. Equipped with the latest 650V IGBT chip technologies, these modules can serve to attain switching frequencies up to 75kHz.

flowPFC 0 CD modules ship with integrated thermistors for temperature monitoring and snubbing capacitors to improve EMC. The new flowPFC 0 CD line comes in compact, low-inductive flow 0 housings 12 or 17 mm in height. These modules will be manufactured in series in early 2016.
