Connect 220-Volt AC 3 Phase Power to the
α
Series Digital Amplifier
An AC line filter will reduce the effect of harmonic noise to the power supply; its use is
recommended. Two or more amplifiers may be connected to one AC line filter if its power
capacity has not been exceeded. Figure 11 shows how to connect the amplifier to the line
filter.
Figure 11: Connecting the Servo Amplifier to the Line Filter and Power Source
Note:
You must supply the cable for both the connections between the line filter and the servo amplifier,
and the connection between the line filter and the power source. Use four-conductor, 600V, 60°C
(140°F), UL or CSA approved cable between the line filter and the servo amplifier.
The gauge of wire used for connecting the line filter to the power source must be sized, based on
the circuit breaker between the power source and the line filter and the number of servos
connected to the line filter.
If a separate isolation transformer is used to supply AC power to the amplifiers, a line filter is not
required.
