3 . Setting up the IR 1110 Reference Design for use.
1. Mount the three IRKH Addapaks on a heatsink. A drill plan for
the mounting holes in the heatsink are shown in Fig 4.
The heatsink must be able to maintain the case
temperature of the Addapaks at less than 90°C, at full output
current. Typical losses in each Addapak module, for 3-phase
operation, are given in Table 2.
2. Position the PCB over the Addapak modules, fitting the gate
and auxiliary cathode fast-on terminals attached to the
modules into the slots in the PCB. Insert washers between the
module terminals and the holes in the PCB. Insert M5 screws
with washers through the holes on the PCB, through the
washers on the underside of the PCB, into the terminal holes of
the modules, and tighten. Solder the top stems of the fast-on
terminals into the PCB.
For dc current greater than 40A, remove JP2 and JP3 and
assemble as illustrated in Fig 3.
3. Make electrical connections as shown in Fig 5.
The IR 1110 Reference Design is now ready for use.
4 . Operating features.
4(a) Soft charging of the dc bus capacitor.
When ac input voltage is switched on, the voltage across the dc
bus capacitor ramps up automatically, by phase-control of the SCRs.
The ramp-up rate is determined by capacitor (C24 + C24A). The factory-
fitted value is 3µF. The corresponding ramp-up time is
approximately 330ms.
The ramp-up time can be reduced by reducing the paralleled combination of
C24 and C24A. For example, with C24A removed, and C24 = 1.0uF, the ram-up
time is approximately 150ms.
4(b) Regulation of the dc bus voltage.
The operating bus voltage can be regulated by one of the
following methods:

IRMDSS1
(1) Control of an externally applied 1.4 to 4.0V (nominal) reference
voltage, VBUSREF, applied between JP4/1 and JP4/2. (JP4/1
negative with respect to JP4/2)
For test purposes, the bus voltage can be controlled
manually, by connecting a 50kO potentiometer between JP4/1
and JP4/3, and changing R52 to 4.53k, (1%).
Control of the potentiometer resistance from 0 to 50k
controls VBUSREF from approximately 4.0V to 1.4V . This
controls the dc bus voltage from maximum to approximately
35% of the maximum value obtained at maximum input line
voltage; e.g. for the factory setting of 550V rms maximum
input voltage, the minimum regulated bus voltage is about
270V dc.
It should be noted that the potentiometer floats at the
potential of the positive terminal of the SCR bridge. Care must
be taken to ensure that the knob of the potentiometer is
properly isolated, to avoid the possibility for electrical shock
when manually adjusting the potentiometer.
(2) A PWM signal can be applied to the input of opto-coupler U5,
between JP5/1 and JP5/2, as shown in Fig 6. The opto-coupler
provides isolation between the PWM input source and the
IR 1110, which floats at the potential of the positive terminal of
the rectifier.
The frequency of the PWM signal should be in the 1 to 5kHz
range.
The relationship between the ON/OFF duty cycle, D, of the PWM
input and the dc bus voltage is approximately:
VBUS = VBUSmax (0.35 + 0.65D)
VBUSmax is the maximum bus voltage at maximum input
voltage.
The bus voltage is regulated to within approximately +-8V, for
a change of line voltage of +-80V.
Rise and fall rates of the bus voltage that are driven by
changes in the duty cycle, D, (hence in the average value of
VBUSREF), are determined by the rate of change of D, and by
the load characteristics. The rate of increase of D should be
limited to avoid excessive bus capacitor charging current.

4(c) Adjusting the dc loop gain.
The voltage regulation loop can exhibit uneven timing between
successive SCR firing points, with loads that have abnormally high
ripple voltage. Such ripple instability - should it occur - can be
corrected by reducing the dc loop gain.
Remove the zero ohm link R58. Re-insert R58, and insert R54
with values calculated as follows.
The dc loop gain will be reduced by a factor of R54/(R54+R58).
R54 and R58 should be chosen so that their sum is 200-250k Ohms.
4(d) Deactivating the voltage regulation function.
If regulation of the bus voltage is not required, i.e. the rectifier
is always required to deliver maximum possible dc bus voltage in
normal operation, connect JP4/1 to JP4/3.
Note that the soft start function is always activated, whether or not the voltage
regulation function is used.
4(e) Low line voltage.
If the input line voltage falls below the specified minimum
operating value, as shown in Table 1, the rectifier is deactivated by
removal of the SCR firing pulses. When the line voltage returns to
normal, the bus voltage is automatically ramped back to the set
value.
4(f) Temporary loss of all three input line voltages.
When all three input phases are temporarily lost, the dc bus voltage
starts to decreases during the outage.
(a) If the bus voltage does not dip below a set fraction, k, of the
initial operating bus voltage, VBUS1, then when the input
voltage returns, the bus capacitor is recharged without phase-
control of the SCRs. This allows the bus voltage to be restored
as quickly as possible for relatively minor dips of bus voltage,
and minimizes the effect of the line outage on system
operation.
