Power factor correction modules draw maximum power from the grid

Vincotech has released the flowPFC 0 CD module. Engineered to optimize energy quality and consumption for welding, SMPS and embedded drive applications rated from 1kW to 6kW, the PFC modules draw maximum power from the grid, says the company. The new flowPFC 0 CD modules feature highly efficient rectifiers with a shunt resistor current sensor and ultra-fast, two-legged PFCs with diodes for zero loss current sensing via external transformers. Equipped with the latest 650V IGBT chip technologies, these modules can serve to attain switching frequencies up to 75kHz. flowPFC 0 CD modules ship with integrated thermistors for temperature monitoring and snubbing capacitors to improve EMC. The new flowPFC 0 CD line comes in compact, low-inductive flow 0 housings 12mm or 17mm in height.
