Outline Drawing and Circuit Diagram
Description:
Powerex CI Modules are
designed for use in switching
applications. Each module
consists of a single phase diode
converter section and a three
phase IGBT inverter section. All
components and interconnects are
isolated from the heat sinking
baseplate, offering simplified
system assembly and thermal
management.
Features:
□Low Drive Power
□Low V CE(sat)
□Discrete Super-Fast
Recovery (70ns)
Free-Wheel Diodes
□High Frequency Operation
(20-25 kHz)
□Isolated Baseplate for Easy
Heat Sinking
Applications:
□AC Motor Control
□Motion/Servo Control
□General Purpose Inverters
□Robotics
Ordering Information:
Example: Select the complete nine
digit module part number you
desire from the table below - i.e.
CM20MD3-12H is a 600V (VCES),
20 Ampere CI Power Module.
