Power Dissipation Calculation
Calculating actual dissipation requirements in an application can help minimize enclosure cooling requirements, especially in
TPL = | TRMS • Vmax | + Pld + Psr | |
1500 | |||
|
|
Where:
TPL = Total power losses (Watts)
TRMS = RMS torque for the application
Psr = Shunt Regulation Losses
Note
TRMS * Vmax / 1500 = Power Stage Dissipation = Pp
A more accurate calculation would include even more specifics such as actual torque delivered at each speed plus actual shunt regulator usage. For help in calculating these, please contact the Application Department at Control Techniques with your system profiles and loads.
