4.13.3. How to Use the Charts
The power dissipation in the chart includes the losses of the rectifying bridge.
Regarding Figure 37 and Figure 38, the following should be noted:
DC Bus Voltage (VDC)
Rectified Voltage (VAC)
560
3X400
680
3X480
330
3X230
The charts above are based upon theoretical worst-case conditions. Actual test results show
30% to 50% better power dissipation.
To determine if your application needs a heat sink:
1. Allow maximum heat sink temperature to be 80 °C or less (shunt down is 6 °C to 8 °C
higher).
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Gold Solo Trombone as ≤ 40 °C.
3. Calculate the allowable temperature increase according to the following example: For an
ambient temperature of 40 °C, ΔT = 80 to 40°C = 40°C
4. Use the chart to find the actual dissipation power of the drive. Follow the voltage curve to
the desired output current and then find the dissipated power.
