Powerex Offers New Alternative for 460V Drive Makers

Powerex has added a 1,200V model to its line of Dual In-Line Package Intelligent Power Modules (DIP-IPMs). Engineers designing a 460V drive now have the option of using an intelligent DIP device. The 1,200V DIP-IPM integrates power devices, gate drive, level shifting and protection circuitry in an ultra compact dual-in-line transfer mold package.

The 1,200V DIP-IPM line-up current ranges run from 5A through 25A and 2,500V isolation rating is standard on all modules. Other features include 16mm pin length and open emitters for current sensing in each phase leg.

The Powerex 1,200V DIP-IPM was specifically developed for use in small 460V three-phase motor drives. The 1,200V option allows designers to reduce inverter size as well as overall design time in the process of manufacturing blower motors/HVAC; industrial motor drives; pumps and compressors; servo motor control; and robotics.

Sample quantities are available from stock to 8 weeks at prices ranging from $33 to $55 depending upon the ratings selected.
