Type Selection
How to select the right topology for your project?
Specifications
Full IGBT Active Front End
| Power Factor | >0.99 |
| Harmonics | <1% |
| Efficiency Rectifier | >98% |
| Modular Power Level | 5MW / 10MW |
Typical application
The full IGBT AFE is the most cost-effective solution for Electrolysers working on a relative high DC voltage ranging from 1000 to 1500VDC. It can be applied in an environment with strict power quality requirements. An additional benefit is the synchronization with the electrical grid and full behavior control, allowing reactive and capacitive power supply.

Diode-IGBT Chopper
| Power Factor | >0.96 |
| Harmonics | <8% (12-pulse), <3% (24-pulse) |
| Efficiency Rectifier | >98% |
| Modular Power Level | 5MW / 10MW |
Typical application
The Diode IGBT chopper uses a diode bridge to create a fixed DC which thereafter is controlled by the chopper to the required DC level. This topology can be used with electrolysers working on a DC voltage ranging from 500 to 1200 VDC. The power quality characteristics are suitable for most grids.

Thyristor
| Power Factor | >0.9 with PFC |
| Harmonics | <8% (18-pulse) |
| Efficiency Rectifier | >98.5% |
| Modular Power Level | 5MW / 10MW / 35MW |
Typical application
The converters set up with the thyristor semiconductor are suitable for grids with low demand on power factor and harmonics and/or electrolysers that require large currents. However, additional compensation equipment is required, which compensates for the reduced cost of the system.
