THN 30-2422

DC DC Converters have been increasingly adopted by the industry to replace the traditional AC-controlled transformer approach.[1] This approach has been adopted due to its superior performance, efficiency, reliability and low operating costs. The THN 30-2422 converter is one such DC DC converter that offers a number of advantages over the traditional transformer-controlled AC approach.

The THN 30-2422 converter is a switch mode DC DC converter operating on a dual active bridge (DAB) topology. It is primarily used for industrial and telecommunications power applications. The converter is based on an optimized reinforced gate-turn-off (RGT) structure and SCR drivers. The key features of this converter include its small size, light weight, robust design, low input current, high efficiency and high switching frequency. It has a wide input Voltage range of 20V to 24V and can output a maximum current of 30A.

The working principle of the THN 30-2422 converter is based on the DAB topology. This topology consists of two “active” switches, along with a minimum number of passive components. It is an extremely reliable and efficient switch mode converter. The two active switches, along with the associated passive components, accept an input signal and convert it into a regulated output voltage.

The two active switches, when connected to the input and output terminals, create a bridge structure that allows current to flow through it in either direction. This in turn creates an alternating current in the primary windings of the transformer. The alternating current in the primary windings of the transformer is then rectified and smoothed, producing a constant, regulated output voltage. The amount of current flowing through the bridge can be controlled by adjusting the duty cycle of the switches. This allows the output voltage to be adjusted.

In addition to controlling the output voltage, the THN 30-2422 converter can also switch frequencies, allowing it to efficiently control the power output. The converter can switch frequencies from 50Hz to 50 kHz, which provides flexibility and precision for controlling the output power.

The THN 30-2422 converter also features protection against over-voltages and over-current conditions. Over-voltage protection is provided by the built-in current limitation circuitry, while over-current protection is provided by a self-resetting fuse. The protection circuitry ensures the converter is safe to operate and eliminates the need for external protection components.

In summary, the THN 30-2422 is a DC DC converter based on the DAB topology. This topology allows the device to accept an input voltage of 20V to 24V and to output a maximum current of 30A. The converter provides high efficiency, high switching frequency, small size and light weight. The built-in protection circuitry ensures the converter is safe to operate and eliminates the need for external protection components. This makes the converter an ideal choice for industrial and telecommunications applications.
