- Precision Timing Control: Sub-microsecond gate pulse timing ensures optimal IGCT switching performance and minimizes switching losses
- Fault Detection: Integrated desaturation detection and short-circuit protection safeguard IGCTs from catastrophic failures
- Status Monitoring: Real-time feedback signals to drive controller for diagnostic and protective functions
- Power Supply Regulation: Stable gate drive voltage generation from auxiliary power inputs with wide tolerance range
- EMC Compliance: Shielded construction and filtering minimize electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility
Operating Environment
- Ambient Temperature: -10°C to +50°C (operational), -25°C to +70°C (storage)
- Humidity: 5-95% RH non-condensing
- Altitude: Up to 1000m without derating (consult factory for higher altitudes)
- Vibration Resistance: IEC 60068-2-6 compliant for industrial environments
- Pollution Degree: 2 per IEC 60664-1
