Protects From Load and 440VacIn AC Applications
Circuits
•
For 120Vac, 240Vac on Most IGBTs
•
Fits Terminal Spacing
•
Fast Clamping – Subnanosecond
These devices will protect your IGBT in applications where it is
used in overload protection or switching ac loads. Transient
voltages produced when switching occurs in the positive one-half
of the cycle are clamped below the destruct level of the IGBT.
Unique low inductance shunt path virtually eliminates L(di/dt)
effects. Available as screened device for high reliability
applications. Includes burn-in and environmental tests.

TVS
Microsemi’s
IGB
TVS
protector is intended for transients produced during load switching with a duty cycle not
to exceed .01%. For protecting against transients produced when IGBTs are applied as ac power switches and
over current protectors. Stored energy in the line and load produces damaging transient voltages during power
down or fault interrupt. Microsemi’s

TVS
transient suppressor protects from nanosecond rise transients
with surge currents to 200A, 1.5/50µs. Typical application on a 3 power line is illustrated below.
