General information:
VARIS XT Compact is the little brother of the VARIS XT and consists of three half bridge IGBT modules
with 8 or 9 dc-link capacitors. All semiconductors are placed on one cooling plate for a perfect homogenous
cooling. Its modular design allows paralleling of the AC-output/input as well as paralleling of the dc-link with
other VARIS XT Compacts. Possible circuit arrangements are single three phase inverters, active front end
topologies, and chopper circuits.
An interfaceboard located on the front of the VARIS XT Compact summarizes all IGBT signals as well as
voltage, current and temperature measurements.

Our IGBT modules are optimized for direct

paralleling, which means they have the same
Vce(sat) forward voltage among themselves.
However, when using direct paralleling the
current measurement has to be external. Optional current sensors for direct paralleling are
available on request.

3. Technical Data Interfaceboard:

The Interfaceboard is located right next to the Driverboards and summarizes the IGBT signals as well as the
AC-output current measurements, DC-link voltage measurement, and PT100 temperature measurement.
Figure 5: VARIS XT Compact circuit arrangement with Interfaceboard
The interfaceboard can be controlled optical via HFBR connectors, or electrical via SUB-D connectors. It
contains switches for paralleling of the IGBT phase legs, where the IGBT signals are automatically split and
directed to the corresponding paralleled modules.
The board can give out the feedback from each IGBT modules high- and lowside, or can combine the modules high- and lowside status to one feedback signal. The combined feedback minimizes the wiring effort, and
still guaranties a feedback from each module.
A hardware interlock of the PWM signals automatically shuts down the system when a short circuit or under
voltage of one driverboard is detected. When the error disappears the system either can go back to normal
operation, or can store the error until the interfaceboard gets an external reset.
For thermal monitoring the NTC of each IGBT module is evaluated. If an over temperature of an IGBT arises
a status signal is send to the operator controller. The temperature error can be reset automatically or erased
externally. Moreover, VARIS XT Compact features a PT100 heatsink measurement, which can be evaluated
by the costumer controller.
The current and voltage measurements are collected, filtered, amplified and given to a SUB-D connector for
further evaluation. The system voltage of the interfaceboard is 15V.

4. Technical Data Driverboard:

Each IGBT module has its own driverboard, and all driverboard signals are brought together at the interfaceboard. The signal transfer from driverboard to interfaceboard is electrical, and from interfaceboard to customer control optical or electrical.
However, VARIS XT Compact is also available without interfaceboard. In this case the operator also can
choose between an optical and an electrical driverboard signal transmission.

5. Technical Data Sensoring:

The supply voltage of all sensors is provided by the interfaceboard. The actual values of current, voltage and
temperature are amplified, filtered, and directed to two SUB-D connectors (details see interfaceboard section). However this section gives a quick overview of the sensors used and their accuracy.
