flowIPM - Intelligent Power Module (IPM) with optional PFC

New flowIPM family with integrated driver circuit and shunt resistors. 

Most common for flowIPM are applications like motor driver circuits up to 1kW output power. The optional PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit helps to gain the maximum possible power efficiency. The compact design and sophisticated thermal management provides the optimum solution for crowded mechanical environments.

Vincotech’s flowIPM integrates not only the inverter part, but also rectifier and PFC circuit. The complete driver circuit is also integrated to the module with no need of additional external components. With the integrated shunts, a high-precision current sensing of the PFC and inverter part is possible.

General Features:

• Output power at 230V input: up to 2kW
• 1~ Rectifier, 3~ Inverter
• Optional PFC circuit with Si or SiC boost diode
• Integrated gate drivers with complete bootstrap circuit
• Overcurrent protection
• Ultra low inductive design with integrated DC-capacitor
• Laser trimmed shunt resistors for PFC and inverter current
• Temperature Sensor
• 17mm housing, optional with Press-fit pins or phase change material

Applications:

• Standard motor drives
• Fans, pumps, air-conditioning
• Professional power tools
• Washing machines, refrigerators
