Thermal and Power Specification
Standby power consumption
The following table shows the standby power consumption when the Capitan power stage is disabled, assuming 2 EtherCAT/Ethernet ports are active and communicating at full speed, no feedbacks or I/Os are connected. At this point the power consumption comes from the 5 V supply input only. The table also shows the "active standby" DC bus power consumption when the power stage is enabled, motor current is set to 0 and housing temperature is kept at 50 ºC.

Thermal model
The following diagram depicts the general dissipation model. The Capitan is designed to be mounted on a cooling plate or heatsink to achieve its maximum ratings. Please see Installation for more details. In order to calculate the heatsink requirements, the power dissipation can be estimated below.
In some low power applications, the Capitan is NOT required to be mounted to any heatsink. In this case its thermal resistance from housing/case to ambient Rth(h-a) can be estimated between 12 K/W, to 16 K/W assuming 10 cm clearance to allow air convection at sea level. For example, with the drive on standby at 1.35 W losses at 25 ºC air temperature the internal drive temperature can be 56 ºC. When the Capitan is not attached to a heatsink factors like air cooling, power cable thickness will have a significant effect on its temperature. Typically 2.2 W can be dissipated without heatsink, refer to the graph below to know which current can be handled.
*Product shown differ from Capitan NET.
Current derating
The following figure shows the maximum motor phase current at different case temperatures and operating points. The graph expresses the achievable current including the derating algorithm that limits the current based operation conditions and the power stage temperature.
Notice that current is expressed in crest value for a 3 phase BLAC motor. For further clarifications and conversion to equivalent RMS values please refer to Disambiguation on current values and naming for Ingenia Drives.
To ensure a proper performance of Capitan NET, the case temperature should be held always below 85 ºC (Tc-max = 85 ºC).
Heat dissipation and heatsink calculation
The following figure shows the total power losses at different operating points. This includes logic supply and considers a single supply scenario. As can be seen, lower PWM frequency and voltage leads to lower power losses.
Please, use the following procedure to determine the required heatsink:
Based on the voltage & continuous current required by your application and Power losses graph determine the generated Power Losses PL to be dissipated.
For example: If the application requires 10 A @ 60 V (20 kHz) the PL will be 3.5 W
Determine the Thermal impedance of the used thermal sheet Rth(c-h)
For example, a thermal sheet TGX-150-150-0.5-0, which has an estimated thermal impedance of Rth(c-h) = 0.2 K/W
Based on the ambient temperature and using the following formula determine the maximum thermal impedance to air of the required heatsink Rth(h-a)
For example: If the application requires 10 A @ 60 V (20 kHz) working at Ta = 25 ºC and we use a thermal sheet with Rth(c-h) = 0.2 K/W the required thermal impedance of the heatsink will be Rth(h-a) = 17.35 K/W
Energy efficiency
The following graph shows the electrical energy efficiency including logic for various operation points assuming 50 ºC case temperature and the drive delivering the maximum output power (i.e. maximum output voltage and motor speed). As seen, very high efficiencies > 99% can be achieved at 20 kHz frequency.
Power Stage & Control loops relationship
The power stage PWM frequency can be adjusted in 4 different frequencies. Each frequency has an associated rate for the control loops, as specified in the following table.
Power stage PWM frequency | Current loop frequency | Servo loops frequency (position, velocity, commutation & shunt) |
---|---|---|
20 kHz | 20 kHz | 20 kHz |
50 kHz | 50 kHz | 25 kHz |
100 kHz | 50 kHz | 25 kHz |
200 kHz | 50 kHz | 25 kHz |
