Power Modules with Active Power Factor Correction

Vincotech's flowPFC 0 family now consists of 26 different modules catering for every need in PFC functionality of applications such as power supplies or welding/cutting equipment. The PFC modules are suited for standard and interleaved switching supporting collector or emitter current sensing and were designed to work amongst others with the UCC28070™ PFC controller from Texas Instruments™.
Maximum power and efficiency of this PFC modules is achieved via the use of the latest chip technologies, such as SiC diodes and CoolMOS™. The highest efficiency is reached by the family members featuring the parallel switching of a CoolMOS™ and an IGBT, due to the optimal conduction performance of the IGBT coupled with the low switching losses of the CoolMOS™.

Further options include a standard or half-controlled rectifier stage and a low-cost chipset with fast Si diodes instead of SiC.

The modules are housed in Vincotech’s proven flow 0 package. At 33x66x12mm and featuring its unique clip-in mechanism, the flow 0 is one of the most compact and easy-to-handle packages in the power module market.

General Features:

• Dual boost circuits for paralleled, interleaved or bridgeless switching mode
• Output power at 230V input: up to 8kW
• 1~ Rectifier, optional ½ controlled for inrush current limitation
• Alternative semiconductor technology optimized for different PWM frequencies between 20kHz and 400kHz per
• Leg: MOS-FET, IGBT or new parallel switch with hyper fast FRED or SiC rectifier
• Interface for OC or OE current transformer with low inductive bypass at turn off
• Ultra low inductive design with integrated DC-capacitor
• Shunt resistor
• Temperature sensor
• 12mm housing (17mm on request)
