If the circulation current shown above in Figure 7-2 is established and remains during
standby operation, the highlighted SCR/Thyristor in Figure 7-3 can remain on and
overheat due to the continuous current flow.
If the circulating current situation is not corrected the SCR may be permanently
damaged and fail.

In order to prevent this situation, extra impedance should be added to the negative
connection of the ride-thru to the drive. This prevents the circulation current from being
sustained after a sag event.
The M3460RD is not required in all installations, however determining the requirement
is difficult due to the variables involved with the physical installation. Using the
M3460RD does not reduce the Ride-Thru capacity for the system, and is
recommended for all installations.
Please note that this situation can only occur when there is an AC connection to the
input bridge of the M3460R unit. If the installation contains energy storage, such as
capacitors, the two input bridges are galvanically isolated from each other by the
isolation transformer of the charging system. In this case, the M3460RD is not
required. See Figure 7-4 for an example of a galvanically isolated system.
