GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SAFETY DEVICES

Safety interlocks and guards are provided as an integral part of the equipment design. These devices are provided for safety to the operator.

5)Operations Counter - Indicates the total accumulated number of times the circuit breaker has been closed.

DANGER

Never defeat, modify or bypass any safety devices, interlocks or operating mechanism. This would make the equipment unsafe. Fire, explosion, severe injury, death and property damage could occur.

Do not operate this

WARNING equipment unless all covers and panels are in place.

INDICATORS AND CONTROLS (Fig. 3)

The following front panel indicators and controls are provided:

1)On-Off Indicator - Indicates if the circuit breaker is OFF (Green) or ON (Red). When the indicator reads OFF, the main contacts of the circuit breaker are open. When the indication is ON, the main contacts are closed.

2)Closing Spring Status Indicator (MU, ML types only) - Indicates if the closing springs are CHARGED (Yellow) or DISCHARGED (White).

3)Manual Closing Handle – Rotating the handle clockwise approximately 75° closes the circuit breaker (On-Off indicator changes to ON). When the handle is released, it returns to its normal position.

4)Manual Trip Lever (Red) – Pushing the lever in the direction of the arrow trips the circuit breaker (On-Off indicator changes to OFF).

HV6AS specifications

The Toshiba HV6AS is a sophisticated high-voltage IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) module, primarily designed for demanding applications in industrial and energy sectors. This module stands out due to its superior performance characteristics, which allow it to handle high voltages while delivering optimal efficiency and reliability.

One of the key features of the HV6AS is its high voltage rating, typically around 650V, making it suitable for various applications including motor drives, renewable energy systems, and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems. This voltage capacity enables the module to effectively control large power loads, ensuring excellent performance in high-demand environments.

The HV6AS adopts cutting-edge technologies that improve its operational efficiency. The design incorporates advanced thermal management features, which help in enhancing its reliability and lifespan. Integrated with a robust heat sink, the module efficiently dissipates heat generated during operation. This is crucial as increased temperatures can lead to reduced performance and potential failure.

Additionally, the HV6AS utilizes a double-sided cooling structure, which allows for superior thermal conductivity and enables the module to perform optimally in high-temperature conditions. This aspect is particularly important for applications in renewable energy, such as solar inverters, where efficiency and durability are key.

Another notable characteristic of the HV6AS is its fast switching capability. The IGBT technology allows for rapid switching between on/off states. This feature is essential in applications such as pulse-width modulation (PWM), contributing to improved power conversion efficiency. The high switching frequency capability means that systems can operate more efficiently, resulting in lower energy losses.

Toshiba’s HV6AS also focuses on enhancing productivity through simplified circuit design. Its compact form factor means that it can be easily integrated into existing systems, saving space and simplifying installation processes. The module’s compatibility with existing drive technologies allows for seamless upgrades to newer systems without significant changes to the overall architecture.

In summary, the Toshiba HV6AS is a highly versatile IGBT module characterized by its high voltage capability, advanced thermal management, fast switching speed, and compact design. These factors make it an excellent choice for a wide array of high-performance applications in various industries, driving innovation towards more efficient and sustainable power solutions. Whether in industrial automation or renewable energy, the HV6AS sets a benchmark for reliability and effectiveness in power electronics.
