02 high power products for renewable energy applications

A large selection of passive components for applications of more

than 1kV is available from AMS Technologies. We can, for example,

provide custom solutions and products such as capacitors and

resistors for pulse, high voltage and RF usage.

Our extensive knowledge and experience allows us to advise

customers on the correct components, such as contactors and

interrupters for high voltage DC applications.

precision resistorsCaddock Electronics offers an exclusive and comprehensive range of precision and power resistors and resistor networks. Caddock uses patented resistance fi lm technologies and processes to create solutions for performance demanding applications. The products are available in more than 250 versions. Precision, quality and long term stability are the hallmark of Caddock’s resistor products.

• Power up to 100 W• Voltages up to 48 kV• Resistors for high voltage and high frequen-

cy, current measurement, voltage dividers and load resistors

• Low Ohm resistors minimum 0.005 Ohm, Kelvin Terminals (four wire)

• Power fi lm resistors in TO-126/220/247 package as well as chip versions

current transformersMagnelab develops and produces Rogowski coils and current transformers for non contact measurements of currents in cables. The measurements of the strength of the current in DC, pulse currents, RMS and RF currents or even the position of a current carrying cable in a system can be carried out in different environmental conditions such as air, very high vacuum or in oil. There is a range of high precision instruments, as well as an extensive range of transformers for industrial and commercial applications, in many shapes and formats

including rope, removable types, with a 0.33 V standard output.

capacitorsLeclanché is a well established manufacturer of high quality capacitors for power, precision, high voltage and high frequency applications. The fl exibility they offer for design, package style and construction guarantees successful use in applications such as motor control, snubber circuits and various fi ltering usages in drive engineering.

thyristors, IGBTs & SFRD modulesUtilised for such systems as wind turbines, frequency converters, pulse power systems, high power drives, induction heating, DC servomotor control and AC motor control in industrial applications, our extensive range of IGBT modules is fully suited to many areas combining an industry standard switching voltage with a very high switching current capability. We can offer a broad range of products switching in a wide band frequency range with various circuit layouts including half bridge, choppers and single switches to fulfi ll a plethora of requirements. These products offer fast switching with low switch on (Eon) and switch off (Eoff).
