Shunt Regulator

Product catalog summary
Features:
  • Energy dissipation ratings: 1200 W·s at 187Vdc and 1600 W·s at 375 Vdc.
  • Standard trip voltages: 187VDC or 375VDC.
  • UL 508C certified, fully isolated, compatible with offline power supplies.
  • Custom configurations available upon request.
  • Supports parallel operation and optional external resistor for higher continuous power.
Product Description:

The PWM Reverse Energy Dissipator acts as a shunt regulator to limit power supply voltage rise during regeneration, such as when a motor brakes or a stage lowers. It dissipates energy when the voltage reaches a set limit, increasing the PWM duty cycle to dissipate more energy over its resistive load. The device is inactive during normal operation and activates only during braking. LED indicators show power status, energy dissipation, and overtemperature conditions.

Specifications:
  • Model 125: Peak current of 30A at 200V, peak power of 6k Watts for 200 ms, continuous power of 120 Watts.
  • Model 145: Peak current of 20A at 400V, peak power of 8k Watts for 200 ms, continuous power of 160 Watts.
  • Operating voltage trip points: 187V for Model 125 and 375V for Model 145, with a range of 7.5V and 15V respectively.
  • Thermal requirements: Operating temperature from 0°C to 70°C, storage temperature from -30°C to 85°C.
  • LED indicators: Green for power OK, yellow for energy dissipation, red for thermal shutdown.
Application Information:
  • Special configurations available for non-standard trip voltages.
  • Operating range voltage is 4% of the trip voltage.
  • For parallel configurations, use cables of equal length to the amplifier.
Ordering Guide:
  • Model 125: 187V trip, 30A Peak PWM reverse energy dissipator.
  • Model 145: 375V trip, 20A Peak PWM reverse energy dissipator.

When a motor is braking or a stage is lowering, energy is transferred from the motor to the supply capacitor causing the voltage to increase. In high power systems it may be impractical to use capacitance to absorb all the energy.The model 125 and 145 can be used to dissipate the energy as the voltage reaches a set limit. Under normal forward running conditions, the PWM dissipator is inoperative. Only when braking occurs, increasing the power supply voltage does the PWM dissipator start to dissipate energy. When the trip point is reached the PWM duty cycle starts to increase and energy is dissipated over its resistive load. As the voltage increases, the duty cycle increases, linearly dissipating more energy over its internally set operating range The range is directly proportional to the trip voltage (4% of Trip point). The green LED indicates power OK, the yellow LED indicates dumping, and the red LED indicates overtemperature and shutdown. For dissipating more energy the Model 125 and 145 can be connected in parallel for simultaneous operation.
