  • Patent number: 7881045
    Abstract: An enclosure arrangement, with protection against touch, of a power electronics appliance, more particularly of a frequency converter (31, 51) and its additional devices (12, 13), which solution contains an enclosed power electronics appliance and one or more enclosed additional devices installed in connection with it, which enclosed power electronics appliance and additional devices are modules, which can be fitted to be installed in combination one above the other such that the protection against touch of the appliance entity formed is as great as or higher than the protection against touch of the separate appliances.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7141947
    Abstract: A braking chopper for dissipating braking power away from the direct-current rails of an AC drive system, said braking chopper being an inverter unit (INU) physically similar to those also used as motor supply devices, consisting of upper- and lower-branch controllable semiconductor switches (V1–V6), wherein the inverter is connected by its output connectors to the direct-current rails (DC) via a resistor unit, which resistor unit contains two resistors (R1, R2), of which the first is connected to the positive direct-current rail (DC+) and the second to the negative direct-current rail (DC?), wherein both lower-branch and upper-branch semiconductor switches are turned on during braking, and wherein one brake resistor is controlled by the lower-branch switch of only one phase and the second brake resistor by the upper-branch switch of another phase.
