Transformer power rating
A single three-phase transformer may be able to
supply more than one Drive.
The power rating of the secondary winding must
exceed the nominal power rating of the motor.
When using a transformer with more than one
secondary winding, the power rating of the primary
must exceed the sum of the power ratings of the
secondary windings.
The secondary windings must be delta-connected.
(This is not essential for the primary winding.)
Control Techniques Ltd is able to supply
the appropriate transformers.
Three-phase AC supply
To calculate the necessary adjustments required for
each secondary winding, the following equation for Ps
(in
VA) must be used:
