Introduction Introduction The application range of pulse transformers is very broad. In most cases, a signal or a control pulse must be transmitted between electrically isolated circuits. This problem exists in the activation of thyristors and triacs, or in the operation of FETs or IGBTs in highpower switching circuits. The measurement is made with the following circuit. The load resistance RL is given for each type. Another application involves electrical isolation in telephone switchboards and data transfer systems. High Insulation Rating When used in power electronics, the secondary side of pulse transformers is normally at a high voltage potential. This requires a high insulation strength for pulse transformers. Complying with VDE 110 b, Part 1, the following test voltages between the primary and the secondary circuits are required for transformers of Protection Class I and choke coils, as a function of the working voltage: Working Voltage [V] 250 V 500 V 1000 V Test Voltage Uisol [V] 1500 V 2500 V 3000 V For a turns ratio of 1:1, the test voltage is 10 V; for 2:1 it is 20 V, and so on. Trigger Current It The maximum trigger current is a guide value. For a given current, the drop in voltage over the secondary winding resistance is smaller than one volt. Test Voltage Uisol The Voltage-Time Integral Us* Tw The test voltages for TIMONTA pulse transformers depend on the type of winding and the coating on the coil wire. Exact information concerning each type is available in the technical specifications. The test voltage is in each case considerably higher than that prescribed by VDE 110 b. The voltage-time integral is the product of the pulse height and width, measured at half pulse height. The voltage-time integral is measured on the secondary side during operation under no load. Partial Discharge Voltage Ue Partial discharges during normal operation have little effect on the operation of the circuit, but can accelerate the ageing of the pulse transformer. The glow discharge and the intermittent voltages are at least 50% higher than the approved working voltages for all TIMONTA pulse transformers. This provides the best assurance against long-term damage. Definition of the Rise Time Tr Over the almost straight-line in the lower 2/3 of the rise curve, i.e. in the area where the semiconductor is triggered with certainty, we draw a line and measure the time from 10% to 90% of the overall pulse height. 94 The voltage-time integral Us * Tw is measured according to the principle of the following circuit. The same voltages as used for measuring the rise time are used. Primary and Secondary Inductances Lp, Ls UL-Approbation Primary and secondary inductances are measured with a low-power signal of 0.1 mA/10 kHz at 25C. The tolerance is -30% / +50%. The measured value can also vary up to 25% under temperature variation in the range 0C to 70C. The plastic cases and the potting resin of all TIMONTA pulse transformers are fire resistant in compliance with UL 94 V-0. Abbreviations used in the technical data Coupling Capacity Cc The coupling capacity is measured between the primary and one secondary winding. This value varies depending on the type of winding. Bifilar windings, designed for models with faster rise times, have higher coupling capacitances than the layer or selection windings. Udt Voltage-time integral (Us*Tw) Tr Pulse rise time Pm Power dissipation at ambient 50C In general, this value is not important with regards transmission properties. To guarantee effective interference protection from the control electronics, however, the smallest possible coupling capacity is desired. P Power dissipation at elevated temperature a Ambient temperature Turn Ratio N I Trigger current In the given turn ratios, the first figure always refers to the primary winding. Hence a 1:1 pulse transformer has the same number of winding on both the primary and the secondary windings. The turn ratio 3:1:1 stands for one primary and two secondary windings with a transformation ratio of three to one between the primary and the secondary windings. Cc Coupling capacity RL Test load resistance (secondary) Rp Primary resistance Rs Secondary resistance Lp Primary inductance = L x N Ls Secondary inductance U eff Working voltage primary-secondary in VRMS Uisol Test voltage N Turns ratio On request, we can also supply pulse transformers with turn ratio not specified in our products lists.
