ENCLOSED POWER SUPPLIES

Enclosed frame power supplies for industrial and medical applications

Enclosed power supplies are generally used in industrial and often medical applications. The difference from open-frame power supplies is the addition of a closed frame, a plastic or metal case, to prevent exposure of the power supply components.

The main advantage of an enclosed frame power supply is the protection against shock and environmental damage, which provides additional safety for the system and the worker. In addition, to cope with overheating, power supplies with perforated cases for air passage are available on the market.

An enclosed power supply can be configured to the specifications best suited to the specific industrial use: AC/DC transformers and DC/DC converters are available in single or multiple output formats, in a variety of sizes, power output ranges, and IP ratings.

POWER SUPPLIES WITH PFC

Enclosed industrial power supplies with PFC

Power supplies with Power Factor Correction are the best solutions on the market when it comes to reducing the energy consumption of industrial switching power supplies.

Power Factor Correction: power supplies with active or passive PFC

The main objective of PFC technology is to manage the power used, thus improving the efficiency of the power supply. There are two macro-categories of PFC: active and passive, the difference between the two systems being in the structure of the circuit and the electrical components.

Power supplies with active PFC are mainly used within advanced electronic circuits that need to ensure correct power distribution to connected devices. It is the most advanced and precise technology to date.

In contrast, power supplies with passive PFC use inductors and capacitors in series to correct and improve power distribution. This is a cheaper and simpler solution, useful in systems that do not require high precision.

What are the advantages of PFC industrial power supplies?

An industrial power supply system with power factor correction brings with it a large number of positive aspects:

- Greater overall stability of the entire system with a reduction in voltage drops;

- Increased energy efficiency and consequent savings in energy management costs;

- Fewer failures of system components;

- Less danger of overheating.

POWER MODULE FOR IGTB DRIVER

What are IGBT Driver Modules?

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) drivers are high-efficiency devices used primarily as electronic switches. The switching speed with which the IGBT modules can turn on and off has allowed the large-scale diffusion of these transistors, second only to power MOSFETs.

The characteristics of the IGBT drivers combine the simplicity of power MOSFETs with the ability to handle high current and low voltage typical of bipolar transistors.

Where are the IGBT driver modules used?

IGBT technology is used within switch mode power supplies in high-power applications such as variable frequency drives, electric cars, trains, refrigerators, arc welders, induction cooktops, and air conditioners, with a large presence both within industrial sectors and within consumer sectors.

IGBT modules can also be operated in parallel and can have very high current handling capabilities, in the order of hundreds of amperes with blocking voltages of 6500V, thus controlling loads of hundreds of kilowatts.

POWER MODULE FOR SIC/GAN GATE DRIVER

MODULES FOR SIC/GAN GATE DRIVER

SiC and GaN Drivers: Performance for High Power Supply

To ensure ever higher power and efficiency requirements, new power supply solutions have been developed with extremely advanced materials, such as Wide Band Gap (WBG) or wide bandgap semiconductors, of which gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC).

SiC and GaN driver modules show outstanding performance compared to traditional MOSFET transistors or IGBT insulated-gate bipolar drivers: lower energy losses, higher switching frequencies and operating temperatures, robustness in harsh environments, and higher breakdown voltages.

Compared to classic silicon devices, SiC and GaN semiconductors allow systems to operate with much higher voltages, frequencies and temperatures, thanks to the approximately 10 times better conduction and switching properties: this makes SiC and GaN modules particularly performing in the sector of industrial power electronics, including electric mobility.

Compactness, speed and efficiency distinguish the gallium nitride and silicon carbide DC/DC converters, making them ideal solutions for high power supply and to experiment with different design options, depending on specific application requirements.

Digimax and Mornsun: partners for electric mobility solutions

In partnership with Mornsun, a company specialized in the production of power transformers and modules, Digimax offers the QA series of DC/DC converters specifically designed for GaN and SiC MOSFET devices that need two different isolated power supplies.

Mornsun SiC and GaN driver modules extremely efficiently supply power to high-power devices such as control systems, welding machines, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), thanks to the 3.5 pF capacitor and built-in short-circuit protection system .

In particular, high-power GaN and SiC transistors are proving to be interesting solutions for electric mobility: the sector is moving towards more efficient cables and connectors for electric vehicles, high-voltage and high-capacity batteries, charging stations with shorter short and low losses.
