Constantly rising energy costs drive the trend for energy savings and regenerating concepts. Especially systems moving mechanical load by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy can be used for regeneration by feeding the brake energy back into the AC supply network instead of "burning" it at a brake resistor. Higher integrated and optimised MiniSKiiP Twin power modules provide a significant advantage for developing compact regenerative inverters by reducing the inverter size and number of used components resulting in a system cost reduction. MiniSKiiP Twin power modules are dedicated to all kinds of inverters with an integrated regeneration function, also known as four-quadrant inverters, used in applications like elevators, escalators, cranes and winches, where the mechanical energy of the motor and connected load will be converted into electrical energy for returning (or regenerating) back to the AC supply grid.
MiniSKiiP Twin power modules are available with a nominal current rating from 8A to 35A per 6-pack. Further types with higher current rates are under consideration.
