In case of DC power supply which has no current control, please be careful that rush current (peak value 140A, width 2ms) flows at the turn on of power supply in 1m cable for power supply. 2. In case of DC power supply which has no current control, please be careful that rush current (peak value 140A, width 2ms) flows at the turn on of power supply in 1m cable for power supply. 3. Main current condition of GCT Thyristor is 1500Arms and duty 50%. 4. If input turn-on signal is shorter than ton (min) protection operates and turn on width is 28µs min and 32µs max. 5. If turn-on signal is input during toff (min) protection operates and turn off width is 44µs min and 52µs max. 6. If GU-C40 and FGC4000BX-90DS are used together, Rth (j-f) is becomes 0.012°C/W. (Only FGC4000BX-90DS is used. Rth(j-f) becomes 0.011°C/W) Aug.1998 MITSUBISHI GATE DRIVER FOR GCT THYRISTOR GU-C40 High Power Inverter Use Fig. 1 Connection instruction for the gate driver WAVEFORM 9 pin connector 90% diG/dt (10%~90%) IGM IG tfd trd tw IGQ GATE DRIVER GCT Thyristor receiver(blue) CONTROL SIGNAL ton not connected (Normal: on Fail: off) toff T=1/f CONNECTION INSTRUCTION FOR THE GATE DRIVER Connection instruction for the gate driver refer to Fig. 1. transmitter(NOTE 1) (HFBR-1522) optical fiber cable (NOTE 1) Control signal +5V – OUTLINE DRAWING Refer to Fig. 2 9 pin connector and cable (VHR-9N) (NOTE 1) (NOTE 2) Installation of GCT Thyristor GCT Thyristor is put on the gate driver to coincide with the holes each other and covered by gate attachment at the ring gate of GCT Thyristor. By screwing at each hole, GCT Thyristor is installed on the gate driver. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Please twist the plus and minus power supply cables. NOTE 1 Please prepare these parts beforehand.
