Bus Supply Hardware and Parameter Conversion Chapter 2
PowerFlex 755TM Bus Supply Control
The PowerFlex 755TM bus supply excludes any standard or optional door-
mounted operator devices. Precharge normally occurs when the input 
disconnect (FD1) is closed. When precharge is completed, the AC input MCB 
circuit breaker (CB1) is closed automatically, but IGBT modulation does not 
automatically begin. Line side converter manual IGBT modulation start/stop/
run functions must be controlled via hardwired digital I/O or through the 
communication Logic Command Word. See publication 750-PM100
 for 
detailed parameter settings for controlling the line side converter.
When line-side converter modulation is stopped, the converter IGBT 
transistors are disabled, however, diode rectifiers in the IGBT power devices 
are active. In this case, there is DC bus voltage available even when IGBT 
modulation is stopped but available DC output power is reduced. See monitor 
file parameter 13: 28 [Derated Amps] to understand and monitor the line side 
converter derating when IGBT modulation is stopped.
The PowerFlex 755TM bus supply power circuit configuration is 
fundamentally different in design compared to the PowerFlex 700AFE bus 
supply. Because of this difference, startup/shutdown methods for energizing 
AC power, precharging, and controlling of IGBT modulation is through 
different methods.
Table 38
 outlines the differences in startup/shutdown and fault handling 
between the bus supplies.
