flowSIM - Simulation Software for Power Modules

is a software for interactive calculation of power dissipations and temperatures by using
Vincotech Modules. It is a tool supporting you by the selection of the right devices for your application.
The power loss and device temperature calculations are based on fully measured parameters.

 

flowSIM - Simulation Software for Power Modules Simulation environment for:
  • motor drive
  • generator / UPS
  • PFC
  • dynamic chip temperature and power dissipation of all module components as: Rectifier, IGBT, FRED, PFC-switch
  • Interactive gate resistor optimizing

Simulation with measured module parameters!

Quick Guide for flowSIM



flowSEL - Module selection tool

is a software to select the correct Vincotech Power Module for your motor drive application.
You select the Power Module from the drive performance side.

flowSEL - Module selection tool With your input of:
  • DC-voltage
  • switching frequency
  • heat sink temperature
  • motor current
  • motor voltage
  • cos-phi
  • motor current
You will get:
  • a list of modules fulfilling your specification with Tj for IGBT and FRED and the module efficiency.
The highlighted module in the list is shown in a graphic figure for  
  • dynamic motor current
  • dynamic power dissipation
  • dynamic chip temperature
