Gating
The PowerCards are interconnected via a low-inductance busbar, which results in a three-level
phase configuration for a voltage DC link drive. The gating boards are fitted directly onto the
IGBT modules, thereby ensuring a compact design and a high level of interference immunity.
The power semiconductors are connected through the gating boards. The gating command is
transmitted from the power stack adapter (PSA) to the gating board via a plastic fiber-optic
cable connection.

Operating principle
A constant DC-link voltage for the Motor Module is generated from the line voltage. The Motor
Module provides the power for the connected motor via the DC-link voltage.
The DC link capacitors smooth the voltage and stop the energy in the DC link. The DC link
capacitors are maintenance free and self-healing. The device is switched off when the circuit
breaker is disconnected/opened. The DC link is discharged by means of balancing resistors.
