Terminal strip to connect the Ballast resistor
Regenerative power supplies also have a small Ballast Circuit for dissipat-
ing energy in case of an emergency. This emergency is issued when
there is no connection to mains and the Ballast circuit activating voltage is
exceeded. See table T. H2/14 in this chapter. Here are the two possible
configurations:
Removing this jumper between Ri and L+ (factory setting) and not connect-
ing an external resistor between Re and L+ generates error code E215 or
E304 on the display.
The following table shows the values for gap, tightening torque, sections
and other interesting data of the feed-through terminals blocks for connect-
ing the ballast resistor:
These power supplies carry a protection against over-temperature which
triggers error E301 on the display when reaching 105 °C (221 °F).
Derating curves
The power that may be dissipated through the internal ballast resistor lo-
cated inside the power supply XPS-25 depends on the ambient tempera-
ture as determined by the derating curve.
The performance of the internal Ballast resistor of the regenerative power
supply XPS-65 does not suffer at high temperatures.
