A thyristor module with an expanded operating voltage range up to 690VAC has been introduced by TDK. Designed for PFC, the EPCOS TSM-LC-N690 performs two-phase switching of the capacitors, removing the need for a neutral conductor. Depending on the operating voltage, the module is designed for a reactive power of 40 to 75KVAR and can switch currents of up to 60A.

The thyristor module continuously monitors voltage, phase and its own temperature, and is thus very reliable. Like all EPCOS thyristor modules, the TSM-LC-N690 operates silently and is wear- and maintenance-free with a short switching time of only 5ms. The module also helps to increase the operating life of the capacitors by switching at the zero crossing of the current. In addition, dangerous overcurrents are avoided and the grid is not exposed to transients. The thyristor module can be triggered by EPCOS dynamic PFCs, PLCs or directly from the process.

The EPCOS TSM-LC-N690 thyristor module with the ordering code B44066T3050E690 is suited for dynamic PFC applications with presses, welding machines, elevators, cranes and wind turbines.
