4. Why PM motors?



Full torque, even at stall speed
Motors can operate with higher
speeds and greater precision than
achieved by the established fluid or
electromechanical drive technologies
Direct-drive torque motor modules
reduce the need for power
transmission components such as
gear boxes, couplings and linkages,
thereby reducing the efficiency losses
in machinery created by these
components

16. The Most Advanced Modular Drive System
The image on the right
features multiple racks of
TIM-270s, or TIMs
(TeraTorq® Inverter
Modules).
Comprehensive Power Proprietary
Page 16

17. TIMs



200kW / 250Hp power, 9”x9”x25” modules,
typically deployed in arrays
TIM-270 modules are fully interchangeable with
each other, reducing the number of spare parts
needed to be stocked. Any TIM automatically
performs:

AC/DC Rectification

DC/AC Inversion

DC/DC Power Balancing
TIMs are used to:

Drive motors

Transfer power from a generator or other
source

Transfer power to/from a switchboard or a
battery bank
Comprehensive Power Proprietary
Page 17

18. Theory of Operation - TIMs

Each module has 6 power terminals


DC plus, minus and ground
3 AC (input / output) phases


Current can flow in any direction based on switch control



Connected to DC by IGBT switches
IGBTs switch rapidly with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control

Output is smoothed by phase inductors

Harmonics are actively controlled and reduced
AC voltage is between DC plus and minus
AC phases provide or draw current on command, at any
frequency from DC to 1,000 Hz


Modules automatically balance loads when connected in parallel
Can draw power from lower AC voltages with active power factor
correction

19. TIMs


Designed for continuous “always on” redundant, failsafe system operation
The unlikely event of a failure of a TIM-270 in a
multiple TIM system only decreases the system power
proportionately


Such a failure still allows continued system operation and
avoids emergency equipment shutdown
TIM-270 modules can safely and easily be swapped or
replaced by anyone; no factory certification or special
training is required. Replacing a TIM-270 is a simple
“plug and play” operation.

21. TCM (TeraTorq® Control Module)



Controls the operation of TIM drive lineups
Provides information to/from a system controller
via the Modbus Application Protocol (MBAP) over an
Ethernet TCP/IP connection
Enables remote data collection, troubleshooting,
and preventative maintenance programs

23. FAQs

Can I use TIM drive lineups with motors or generators
that are not manufactured by Comprehensive Power?


Can a TIM really be replaced by non-factory personnel?


Yes you can (although we would like you to consider all
of our equipment, including our motors and generators,
our drives are compatible with products from other
manufacturers).
Yes. After following your defined safe procedure to open
the circuit breaker for the drive line, just push a button
and pull the handle to remove a TIM, and then slide a
replacement in.
Can I use my own housing for my TIMs, TFMs, and TCMs?


Yes. we will assist your design efforts and support the
deployment of the equipment within your own housing.
Also we sell rack systems and cabinets, and we can also
recommend partners who also sell racks and cabinets for
our power electronics.

24. FAQs (con’d)



If a TIM fails, does my system stop operating?

No. In the unlikely event of a TIM failure, the
remaining TIMs will continue to operate, and the drive
lineup will have proportional power available.
Does a TIM need to be programmed or require a hardware
modification to perform an AC/DC conversion or another
function?

No. Any TIM can perform any function, and any TIM
can be placed in any TFM slot. The TIM’s function is
controlled by a TCM which is part of the drive lineup.
Can this drive and power electronics system function as a
Microgrid?

Yes. TIM systems support power being supplied from
one or multiple sources, including transformers,
switchboards, grid connections, generators and battery
banks. Power can be distributed to multiple loads,
including hotel loads, MCCs, motors and battery banks.
