Introduction to Comprehensive Power

Comprehensive Power is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance permanent magnet motors, generators, controls and drives.

Founded in 1998, located in 40,000 square feet across 3 facilities in Marlborough, MA

We Invent and Produce Unique Solutions which are manufactured in the USA

TIMs (TeraTorq® Inverter Modules)

200 kW / 250 Hp power conversion and control “building blocks”, often deployed in arrays

TIM-270 modules are fully interchangeable with each other, reducing the number of spare parts you need to stock. Any TIM can be perform:

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


Theory of Operation - TIMs

Each module has 6 power terminals DC plus, minus and ground 3 AC (input / output) phases

Connected to DC by IGBT switches

Current can flow in any direction based on switch control 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


IGBT Phase to Phase Voltage

Conventional drives connect this voltage directly to the motor terminals

Fast transients result in

Extra stress on motor insulation

Electromagnetic Interference

Increased heat loss in rotor and stator

Motor Terminal Voltage with TIMs

Phase inductors in each TIM locally filter and contain the high frequency

Eliminates many of the problems seen with inverter driven motors

Eliminates the need for special cables and shielding

The Most Advanced Modular Drive System

The image on the right features multiple racks of TIM-270s, or TIMs (TIMs are TeraTorq® Inverter Modules).


TIMs

Designed for durability and for continuous, “always on”, fail-safe 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 will still yield continued system operation and avoid 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.


TFMs (TeraTorq® Frame Modules)

TFMs hold up to 4 TIMs

All module connections are blind mate quick disconnect for safe and foolproof operation and maintenance


TCM (TeraTorq® Control Module)

Controls the operation of TIMs, which are connected to motors, generators, etc.

Provides information to/from a system controller via the Modbus Application Protocol (MBAP) over an Ethernet TCP/IP connection

Support for web based data collection, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance programs


FAQs

Can I use TIM drive lineups with motors or generators that are not manufactured by Comprehensive Power?

Yes you can (although we would like you to consider all of our equipment, including our motors and generators, you are not required to do so).

Can a TIM really be replaced by non-factory personnel?

Yes. Push the red button and pull the handle.

Can I use my own housing for my TIMs, TFMs, and TCMs?

Yes. We do sell rack systemd which house TFMs, TCMs, and TIMs, but we will assist your design efforts and support the deployment of the equipment within your preferred housing.


FAQs (con’d)

If a TIM fails, does my system need to be restarted?

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 control system function as a Microgrid?

Yes. TIM systems support power being supplied from one or multiple sources, including transformers, generators and battery banks. Power can be distributed to multiple loads, including hotel loads, MCCs, motors and battery banks.


TeraTorq® Liquid Cooled Inverter Modules (TIMs) – Ideal VFD System for Your Manufacturing Floor

TIM-270 modules are:

Small - 9” x 9” x 24” deep

Powerful - 200 KW, 600 VAC, 900 VDC, 250 HP

Flexible - AC/DC, DC/AC, and DC/DC functionality

Smart and aware – any module can be replaced without requiring an electrician – modules are self-configuring.

Resilient – parallel, load-balancing by design

Modular – Up to 64 TIMs can be networked for a specific function

Communicative -

CAN bus communication between TIM modules

RS485 network communication, control, data logging

TFM-521 Expandable frame system

Each holds up to 4 TIMs; multiple TFMS are typically housed in the same cabinet

All module connections are blind-mate quick-disconnect for safe and foolproof support
