Function Manual

3-phase PWM Control

VFD-200C-230 provides six-switch circuit by using 3 half-bridge IGBTs. IGBTs of each phase is controlled by PWM_U,/U, PWM_V,/V, and PWM_W,/W, (PIN 8~13).
The input requirement for PWM is compatible with both TTL and CMOS 3.3V signals. Please refer to the diagram below.

WARNING: It is necessary to keep minimum dead-time 300ns between the upper and lower switch of each phase.

t dead (Min.): 300ns

DC bus current Detection & Overcurrent Protection

Low-side shunt resistors are installed on each phase of VFD-200C-230 for current measurement and short-circuit detection.
It’s suggested to shorten the length of external detection circuit and detect the signal with a OPAs. Please refer to diagram below.
If output current exceed 200% of rated value, the protection circuit will be triggered and shut down the gate driver for protection.

DC BUS Voltage Detection

VFD-200C-230 is built-in with DC bus voltage sensor(HV+ sensor, PIN 1). Refer to the recommended circuit. The sensor can provides a 2.5V output when DC bus voltage is at 380V. It’s suggested to detect the signal by OPAs. When the voltage of the DC bus exceed 420V, the PWM input signal must shut down for protection.

IGBT Temperature Detection

VFD-200C-230 is built-in a NTC resistor for detecting IGBTs temperature. Users can detect IGBTs temperature for protection. (NTC type: TSM2A103F34D1R, Thinking Electronic) The recommended detection circuit is below. It’s suggested to shutdown the PWMs input, if the temperature is above 95℃.

Driver Fault signal

The FAULT signal would be active(active-low) to notify external controller or circuit, if VFD-200C-230 encounter the overcurrent state and keep the state for minimum overcurrent tripping time.

Application

Application example: BLDC drive application

The figure shows the BLDC drive system which set up with VFD-200C-230.
Developers can control the PWM signal of 6-switch by using SPWM or SVPWM, etc. for 3-phase voltage modulation, and build the control method base on the current shunt sensors on 3-phase low-side switch(RSHU/V/W) and the DC BUS voltage sensor(HV+ sensor) which provided by VFD-200C-230.
Developers select the appropriate BLDC position sensors such as encoder or Hall-effect sensors to fit their applications.
It’s suggested to install the brake circuit/device at the DC+/DC- pin( DC BUS) for avoiding the DC BUS OVP when BLDC is decelerating.
It’s suggested to shut down the PWM input or connect to brake resistor device for safety when DC Bus voltage is higher than 420V.
If VFD-200C-230 were applied non-appropriate control, such as accelerating too quickly or bad current control, it might trig the VFD-200C-230’s fault-state to shut down the output voltage(low-level on FAULT pin).

Operate with additional aluminum plate

In order to meet the“Derating Curve”and the “Static Characteristics” ,VFD series must be installed onto an aluminum plate(or the cabinet of the same size) on the bottom.The size of the suggested aluminum plate is shown as below. And for optimizing thermal performance, the aluminum plate must have an even and smooth surface (or coated with thermal grease), and VFD series must be firmly mounted at the center of the aluminum plate.
