Discrete Power Supply Recommendations
If the XL_PSU is not being used individual ViX drives can be powered from
transformer/bridge rectifier power supplies of the type shown in Figure A-1. This design
suggests suitable component values for powering particular drive types, but can be adapted
to power more than one drive provided component power ratings are not exceeded.

Figure A-1. Drive Power Supply
Note: The saftey earth must be reliably earthed at X1.8. The –DC input should also be
connected to earth at a convenient point.
Supply Wiring
Use approved mains cable (at least 0.75mm
2
) for primary wiring and route it away from
secondary and signal wiring. Power input wiring must have a voltage withstanding rating of
at least 1000V AC RMS. Note this figure is a test voltage, not the rated working voltage of
the cable. Power input and motor wiring must be kept separate from signal wiring and
insulated from operator access.
Note: secondary wiring must have a current rating in excess of the AC fuse rating.
Transformer Sizing for the DC Supply
A DC input is required by the drive, which can be generated by rectifying and smoothing the
secondary voltage of a transformer. This is an unregulated supply so do not select a
secondary voltage which generates a DC output greater than 80V.
