TIDA-01420: Drive 5hp motor

Part Number: TIDA-01420
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-00914

Hi Team, 

A customer would like to confirm if the TIDA-01420 reference design can drive 5hp, 3phase, 220V/460V induction motor if he will fabricate the PCB without modifications. 

Regards,

Danilo

  • Hi Danilo,

    Total power capabilities of a motor drive unit depend on various variables such as dead-time, switching frequency, peak current, etc. and is also highly dependent on the physics of the motor connected to it. Further, the objective of this TI Design is to demonstrate the performance of the gate driver. Actual phase current capabilities or output power capabilities were not part of this.

    But in order to get a bit of an idea of this board's potential output power capabilities let me refer you to the TIDA-00914. This one uses the same power stage PCB and also the IGBT module CM100TX-24S (100 A) which is also one of the options of TIDA-01420. This TI Design's focus is on demonstrating the current sense performance based on AMC1306. Again, it won't be conclusive on the output power capabilities either. This is simply beyond the scope of these TI Designs.

    Best regards,

    Michael
