Product Features

3-Phase inverter research board with direct connectivity to the NI Single-Board RIO General Purpose Inverter Controller

• Enables analog simulation of transmission and distribution systems, including Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS)
• Contains two three-phase IGBT inverters, two single phase rectifier bridges, and two DC links that can be connected or used independently
• Mates with NI 9683 sbRIO GPIC to create a compact desktop development, research, experimentation and demonstration system
• Compact design on a single PCB for desktop use or mounted on the wall to a peg board
• Flexible connectivity and SMPS topology for many diverse applications (DC-AC, AC-DC, AC-DC-AC, etc.):
• Two three phase IGBT input/outputs (total of 6 two-level IGBT half-bridges)
• Two single phase AC inputs with full-bridge rectifiers
• Two sets of DC link capacitors with pre-charge contactors
• Contactor for connecting the DC-links together
• Terminals for connection of DC power supply or solar panels to the DC link
• Terminals that provide access to the voltage at the mid-point of the DC link capacitors
• On board current and voltage sensors for each half-bridge
• Removable pluggable connectors wire-poke terminals for easy wiring
  • Create multiple pre-wired connector harnesses for testing purpose, i.e. have a harness pre-wired to simulate a phase-to-nuetral fault and validate control system response
• Requires ATX power supply and 15 V floating power supply
• Utilizes 6-pack intelligent power modules (IPMs) with built in gate-drivers and thermistor temperature sensing
