3.2.2 AC Input Voltage and Grid Currents
The input grid currents depend on the power and the input voltage. As shown in Table 8 maximum input grid
currents are achieved at highest power and lowest voltage.
200 – 240 VAC ±10%
(180 – 264 VAC)
22.5 – 19.2 Arms ±10%
(25 – 17.5 Arms)
Continuous speed and pressure with
maximum active power.
Delta voltage

: 200 – 240 VAC ±10%
(180 – 264 VAC)
Star voltage

: 115 – 139 VAC ±10%
(104 – 153 VAC)
3x 11.5 – 9.5 Arms ±10%
(3x 12.8 – 8.7 Arms)
Continuous speed and pressure with
maximum active power.

3.2.3 Inrush Current
Various situations have to be considered for the inrush current. The controller has integrated inrush current
limiters, which limit the current during switch-on of the AC power. However, these limiters are not active if the
controller is not completely discharged Table 8 shows the inrush currents during these situations. It has to be
emphasized that these are absolute worst case currents measured with a rigid mains supply at highest input
voltage. In reality these inrush currents might be much smaller.
