Product Details

SCALE-iFlex LT dual plug-and-play gate drivers improve the performance of multiple parallel EconoDUAL™ modules by 20%, allowing users to eliminate one of every six modules from power inverters and converter stacks. Up to six EconoDUAL 3, or equivalent, power modules can be paralleled from the same Isolated Master Control (IMC) unit which has a more compact outline than conventional products. The Module Adapted Gate drivers (MAGs), which fit the footprint of the EconoDUAL module, each featur two SCALE-2 ASICs – one per channel – to optimize symmetrical paralleling, efficiency and protection.

SCALE-iFlex LT targets multiple applications in renewable energy generation and storage, and is particularly applicable to offshore wind turbines in the 3 to 5 MW range.
