Contactor, and
AC Line Choke.
Connect the
contactor coil
to terminals D5
& D6.
Main AC Power
There is no specific phase connection to terminals L1, L2 and L3 as the controller is phase rotation independent
Branch Protection
AC current = 0.83 x DC Armature Current
You must provide branch circuit protection using a suitable fuse to Type 2 circuit breaker (RCD,
ELCB, GFCI circuit breakers are not recommended, refer to “Earth Fault Monitoring Systems”, page
3-39). Also refer to Appendix B: “Certification” – Conditions for Compliance with UL508C.
Semi-Conductor Protection
Always provide high-speed thyristor fusing to protect the thyristor stack in the case of direct output short
circuits.
IMPORTANT
If a motor becomes completely short-circuited, the current
trip (OVER I TRIP) will not protect the Drive.
Refer to Appendix E: “Technical Specifications” – External Power Semiconductor Protection Fuses.
AC Filter (optional)
Refer to “External AC Supply EMC Filter Installation”, page 3-37.
