Expanded Gate Drive Transformer Complies with Safety Standards

Pulse Electronics Corp. has expanded its P0584/85NL high isolation gate drive transformer line with a new series that uses insulation wire on all windings, making them compliant to safety standards such as IEC61558 and IEC60601 for reinforced isolation. The P0584/85NL series provides isolation in MOSFET and IGBT drivers in industrial applications such as motor drive circuits and solar inverters and for power supplies for a range of medical devices. The P0584/85ANL versions extend these to applications that require higher levels of safety and isolation with 30% increased isolation capability (to 4250Vrms) and 20% greater volt-second capability.

The P0584/85ANL high isolation gate drive transformers have expanded Pulse's P0584/85NL transformer series to offer higher isolation capabilities. They come in a package with 8mm creepage distance. The transformers are RoHS compliant and meet standard EIA481 requirements. P0584/85NL are UL recognized/TUV certified to IEC 60950 while the ANL versions are compliant with the requirements of IEC 61558 and IEC 60601 for reinforced insulation. They are available in tube packaging.
