1.Application Scenarios

Industrial frequency converters are used for motor speed control and are widely applied in industrial equipment such as fans, pumps, compressors, conveyors, and machine tools, with power ratings ranging from a few hundred watts to megawatt levels.

2.The Role of the Product in the System

Product Category System Function
Bridge rectifier Rectify three-phase AC input into DC bus voltage
Soft recovery/fast recovery diode Used as IGBT freewheeling diode (FRD) to reduce switching losses
SiC diode PFC or auxiliary power supply for high-frequency design to improve efficiency

3. Recommended Product Model

Product Category Recommended Series/Model (Example) Key Parameters
Three-phase rectifier bridge GBU/GBJ series (25A – 50A/800V – 1600V) VF low, strong surge resistance
Fast recovery diode FRxx series (600V-1200V) Trr < 100ns
Ultra soft recovery diode USRxx series High soft recovery factor and low EMI
SiC diode SiC SBD(650V/1200V) Zero reverse recovery, suitable for high frequencies

4. AC/DC Module Application

● The front-end AC/DC is completed by a three-phase rectifier bridge and a filtering capacitor

● The auxiliary power supply can adopt a flyback topology, using 600V/650V MOSFET+RCD absorption diode

5. Application of PFC Circuit

● High power frequency converters (>5kW) can increase single-phase/three-phase PFC, and it is recommended to use SiC diodes+super junction MOSFETs interleaved parallel PFC topology

● Low power frequency converters usually do not have a separate PFC stage
