TDK-EPC Epcos BR6000-HD power controller

TDK-EPC has extended its range of power factor controllers with a heavy-duty version of the Epcos BR6000 device. It is suitable for applications that place high demands on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the controller can also be used in a temperature range of -40 to +80°C.

The display of the BR6000-HD is also improved. The OLED technology used enables a high contrast of 2000:1, and offers better readability. It displays 2 x 16 white characters on a black background, which are equally easily visible from a distance, in the dark and from unfavourable angles of vision.

Its other technical parameters and properties correspond to those of the standard BR6000 series including a plain-text menu (CZ/D/E/ES/F/NL/PL/PT/RU/TR), a multifunctional display and storage of various network and system parameters. These features are complemented by an intelligent control mode and various control algorithms as well as temperature monitoring.

The device offers automatic initialisation and is available in different versions for conventional and dynamic PFC systems. The most common types for conventional systems are the six-stage controller BR6000-HD6 and the 12-stage controller BR6000-HD12.
