External Power Supply Units
The VDC, AUX_PWR, and INPUT_REFERENCE supply voltages are connected with many
exposed signal connections in the drive system.
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK POSSIBLE
• Use an DC power supply unit that meets voltage requirements.
• Connect the negative output of the power supply unit to PE (ground).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
When working on power supply wiring, inserting or removing power connectors may cause
unintended behavior and possible destruction of the system components.
CAUTION
UNINTENDED BEHAVIOR AND DESTRUCTION OF SYSTEM COMPONENTS
• Disconnect the primary side of the power supply to power down the DC supply.
• Do not connect or disconnect the power supply while power is applied.
• Connect a “transient suppressor” across the switch to prevent arcs and high-voltage spikes for
battery operated systems.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
Supply VVDC
General
The power supply unit must be rated for the power requirements of the drive. The supply
voltage and current can be found in the technical data.
The real power requirements are often significantly lower because the maximum possible motor
torque is usually not required for normal operation of a system.
When designing the system, note that the input current of the drive is higher during the motor
acceleration phase than during constant movement.
Regeneration Condition
Note the following for drives with large external mass moments of inertia or for highly dynamic
applications:
Motors return regeneration energy during deceleration or back driving/overhauling load.
The DC bus can store a limited amount of energy in the capacitors. Connecting additional
capacitors to the DC bus increases the amount of energy that can be stored.
If the capacity of the capacitors is exceeded, the excess energy must be discharged via internal
or external braking resistors.
Overvoltage conditions can be limited by adding a braking resistor with a corresponding
braking resistor controller. This converts the regenerated energy to heat energy during
deceleration.
