Power Assembly Selection Guide

Determine which assembly is best suited to your application quickly

Examples of how to select your power assembly are listed below:

1) From the power assemblies section of the GD Rectifiers website, select Single, Three, or Hex Phase assemblies.

2) Choose the specific circuit you are looking for. See the example of B6U below.

 

DWG No Max Output Cont Amps @ 30C Max Output Cont Amps @ 40C Cooling Mode DEVICE I2T A2S *1000 @TVJ DEVICE VRRM MAX Height mm Width mm Depth mm Weight KG
B6U 020040 37 34 NAC 1.7 1800 150 96 80 1.2
B6U 020045 82 76 NAC 1.7 1800 180 125 180 3.7
B6U 020045 112 104 NAC 7.2 1800 180 125 180 3.7
B6U 020045 135 125 NAC 31.2 1800 180 125 180 3.7
B6U 020054 165 155 NAC 31.2 1800 300 125 180 5.9
B6U 020050 180 170 FAC 7.2 1800 230 125 180 4.5
B6U 020059 200 190 NAC 135 1800 300 125 180 6.5

 

3) Select device type preference, Isolated or Discrete. Isolated has Earth potential heatsink, Discrete has live heatsink on isolated mounting.

4) Select Dwg No preceded by circuit code using the current rating and ambient temp required. Remember these are maximum values so you should allow your required safety factor.

5) Check the Cooling Mode is correct for your application. NAC = Natural Air Cooled, FAC = Force Air Cooled.

6) Check Device Vrrm is adequate for your application. Higher or Lower Vrrm values are available. Consult sales office, may affect cost / rating. Vrrm requirements can be found in the Form Factor Guide. E.G.. EPR = 1.41 ERMS x2 (safety factor)= Vrrm.

7) Indicate options required, Fuses, Indicators, Micros. Dv/Dt and or Mov suppression. Hi and or Lo Thermal Trips.

 

You should then end up with a part number such as B6U 020259 200A 30C 1200vrrm +FUSES + Dv/Dt + TT.
