Teknic manufactures two 75VDC power supplies designed specifically for
powering motor drives—the IPC-3 and IPC-5. These supplies effectively
manage peak current demand, regenerated energy, and include several
built-in protective features. They are ideal for use with ClearPath motors.

IPC-3
The IPC-3 open-frame power supply can typically power one to four
ClearPath motors. The actual number depends on the application—fewer
when the motors are generating high torque continuously at high speeds,
and more when the motors are intermittently using bursts of power like in
many point-to-point positioning systems. Please visit Teknic’s website

ATH
•
Check for proper DC power polarity before connecting power
to a ClearPath. Reversing DC power polarity may damage the
unit and void the warranty.
•
Verify that the power supply is turned off and discharged
before connecting to a ClearPath. Connecting and
disconnecting the motor from a charged power supply will
cause electrical arcing that can damage the connector pins
over time.
•
Never connect a ClearPath motor directly to an AC outlet.
This will damage the ClearPath motor and void the warranty.
