AC REGEN 5
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
This Section provides the information needed to
properly mount and wire the
AC REGEN. Since most
start-up difficulties are the result of incorrect wiring, it
is essential that the wiring is done as instructed. Read
and understand this section in its entirety before
actual installation begins.
WARNINGS
WARNING
Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of this equipment and the
hazards involved should install, adjust, operate or
service this equipment.
WARNING
The control and its associated motors and operator
control devices must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all national and local codes (NEC,
VDE 0160, BSI, etc.). To reduce the potential for
electric shock, disconnect all power sources before
initiating any maintenance or repairs. Keep fingers
and foreign objects away from ventilation and other
openings. Keep air passages clear. Potentially lethal
voltages exist within the
AC REGEN enclosure and
connections. Use extreme caution during installation
and start-up.
WARNING
The following information is only a guide for proper
installation. US Drives cannot assume responsibility
for the compliance or noncompliance to any code,
national, local or otherwise for the proper installation
of this
AC REGEN or associated equipment. A hazard
of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if
codes are ignored during the installation.
INITIAL CHECKS
Before installing the
AC REGEN, check the unit for
physical damage sustained during shipment. If
damaged, file a claim with the shipper and return for
repair following the procedures outlined on the back
cover. If no damage is observed, remove all shipping
restraints and padding. Check
AC REGEN nameplate
data for conformance with the AC power source and
motor.
DETERMINING CONTROL LOCATION
The
AC REGEN is suitable for most well-ventilated
factory areas where industrial equipment is installed.
Locations subject to steam vapors or excessive
moisture, oil vapors, flammable or combustible
vapors, chemical fumes, corrosive gases or liquids, or
excessive dirt, dust or lint should be avoided unless an
appropriate enclosure has been supplied or a source
of clean air is supplied to the enclosure. The location
should be dry and the ambient temperature should not
exceed 131

F (55

C). If the mounting location is
subject to vibration, the unit should be shock
mounted.
MOUNTING
Figure 1 shows the minimum required surrounding air
space for panel mounted
AC REGEN. Note that the
panel mounted units must be mounted in an upright
position. Figure 2 shows dimensional information for
size 1. If through panel mounting is chosen, a suitable
sealant should be applied to the mounting faces of the
AC REGEN and the panel to prevent leakage.

AC SUPPLY SOURCE
AC REGEN is suitable for use on a power system
capable of delivering up to a maximum of 200,000
rms symmetrical amperes, 250/500/600 +10% volts
maximum when used with AC input line fuses
specified in tables 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
WARNING
To guard against personal injury and/or equipment
damage caused by improper fusing, use only the
recommended line fuses specified in tables 1, 2 and 3.
