3.1 What this chapter contains 
The chapter briefly describes the  operation  principle, product  characteristics, layout,  name 
plate and type designation information.   
3.2 Basic principles 
Goodrive200  series  inverters  are  wall,  flange  and  mountable  devices  for  controlling 
asynchronous AC inductance motors. 
The  diagram  below  shows  the  main  circuit  diagram  of  the  inverter.  The  rectifier  converts 
three-phase  AC  voltage  to  DC  voltage.  The  capacitor  bank  of  the  intermediate  circuit 
stabilizes the DC voltage. The converter transforms the DC voltage back to AC voltage for 
the AC motor. The brake pipe connects the external braking resistor to the intermediate DC 
circuit to consume the feedback energy when the voltage in the circuit exceeds its maximum 
limit.
