Bulletin I27101 rev. B 04/98 IRK. SERIES INT-A-paka Power Modules THYRISTOR/ DIODE and THYRISTOR/ THYRISTOR 135 A 140 A 160 A Features High voltage Electrically isolated base plate 3000 V RMS isolating voltage Industrial standard package Simplified mechanical designs, rapid assembly High surge capability Large creepage distances UL E78996 approved Description These series of INT-A-paks modules uses high voltage power thyristors/ diodes in seven basic configurations. The semiconductors are electrically isolated from the metal base, allowing common heatsinks and compact assemblies to be built. They can be interconnected to form single phase or three phase bridges or as ACswitches when modules are connected in anti-parallel. These modules are intended for general purpose applications such as battery chargers, welders and plating equipment and where high voltage and high current are required (motor drives, U.P.S., etc.).

Application Notes Current Source Inverters 3xIRKL... M 3xIRKH... 3xIRKT... Current Source Inverter using 9 INT-A-paks 4 Current-Source Inverters (also known as Sequentially Commutated Inverters) use Phase Control (as opposed to Fast) Thyristors and Diodes. The advantages of Current Source Inverters lie in their ease control, absence of large commutation inductances and limited fault currents. Their simple construction, illustrated by the circuit on the left, is further enhanced by the use of INT-A-paks which allow the power circuit of an Inverter to be realised with 6 capacitors and 9 INT-A-paks all mounted on just one heatsink. The optimal design of Current Source Inverters requires the use of Diodes with blocking voltages greater than those of the thyristors . This departure from conventional half-bridge modules is catered for by INT-A-pak range with Thyristors up to 2000V and Diodes up to 3200V. www.irf.com IRK.135, .136, .141, .142, .161, .162 Series Bulletin I27101 rev.
