46 Unidrive M Regen Design Guide

Figure 4-6 Power connections: Single Regen, multiple motoring system
* Unidrive M Frame 11 and all new generation Inductors only.
Figure 4-6 shows both the power and control connections for the multiple
motoring Regen solution. For this multiple motoring system solution an
external charging circuit is required due to the additional capacitance from the
multiple motoring drives. The external charging circuit is interlocked with the
Regen drive enable to prevent operation with this circuit still connected. For
sizing of the external charging circuit required for the multiple motoring drive
system, refer to Chapter 11 Component sizing on page 308. For details on
softstart resistors and protection refer to section 10.4.5 Switching frequency
filter capacitors on page 299.
For the multiple motoring drive solution, the Regen drive and associated
external components must be sized to the total power requirements of all
motoring drives.
The Regen inductor core losses are directly dependant on the switching
frequency and specific core material and therefore selection is critical. As a
result only Regen inductors specified in this guide should be used.

Regen inductor thermistor must be configured to disable the drive
in the event of a thermal overload. The switching frequency filter
inductor thermistor must be configured to open the main supply
contactor in the event of a thermal overload. This can be
achieved through the use of an external thermal protection
device/relay.
