Thermal model
Current derating without plate
The following figure shows the maximum motor phase current at different ambient 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, not RMS. For further clarifications and conversion to equivalent RMS values please refer to Disambiguation on current values and naming for Ingenia Drives.
The following considerations apply to this measure:
DEN-NET-C plugged into a 70 mm x 100 mm interface board.
DEN-NET-C power pins are soldered to the board.
Convection dissipation to the air without forced airflow
Current derating with case
It is highly recommended to use a case or heatsink to dissipate Denali NET. See the Installation section for further details.
The following figure shows the maximum motor phase current when dissipating the Denali NET with a case or heatsink. Results are referenced to the case temperature, providing a known interface for any system. 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, not RMS. For further clarifications and conversion to equivalent RMS values please refer to Disambiguation on current values and naming for Ingenia Drives.
To ensure proper performance of Denali NET, the case temperature should always be held below 85 ºC (Tc-max = 85 ºC).
Heat dissipation and heatsink calculation
The following figure shows the total estimated power losses at different operating points. This includes logic supply which is an important contributor at low loads. As can be seen, lower PWM frequency and voltage lead to lower power losses.
Please, use the following procedure to determine the required heatsink:
Based on the voltage & continuous (averaged) current required by your application and Current derating graph determine the Case temperature Tc. Remember that Case temperature must always be below 85 ºC (Tc < 85 ºC)
For example: If the application requires 4 A @ 48V (100 kHz) the Tc maximum will be 85 ºC
Based on the voltage & continuous current required by your application and the Power losses graph determine the generated Power Losses PL to be dissipated.
For example: If the application requires 4 A @ 48V (100 kHz) the PL will be 2.5 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 the air of the required heatsink Rth(h-a)
a. For example: If the application requires 4 A @ 48V (100 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) = 24.2 K/W
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 |
200kHz | 50 kHz | 25 kHz |
