General technical data 
DC voltage limits  
All drive modules have their own terminals for the DC connection.  
Different limit values in drive modules related to the DC voltage level are defined in the 
table below. The values are applicable for firmware versions UIFI2010/UMFI15XX and 
above. See the relevant firmware manual for more detailed descriptions.

DC
 in the Value column, where the values are defined, is based on the drive module 
setting for the used supply voltage. The used supply voltage can be set with a 
parameter (Par. 47.03 and 47.04) or identified automatically. The used U
DC
 value is 
then defined according to the following formula: 
U
DC
 = 1.35 × (signal: 1.19 USED SUPPLY VOLT) 
•  DC voltage range: the actual DC voltage level with 3-phase AC supply voltage 
range (380…480 V AC +10% / -15%). The actual DC voltage with the nominal load 
can be defined based on the 3-phase AC supply voltage with the following formula:

•  Charging limit: the charging relay will be closed when the DC voltage level is 
reached. There are also other criteria (du/dt, time delay) in firmware for closing the 
charging relay. The charging relay is opened if the DC link voltage is below 75 % of 
the U
DC
 when the drive is not running.
