Terminal Description Terminal Function Signal Level Terminal Number
External field supply
FL1
External single phase ac Line 1 input to field bridge. 500V ac maximum,
50-60Hz line-to-line
D1
External field supply
FL2
External single phase ac Line 2 input to field bridge.
Required AC Input Voltage = 1.11 x Nominal DC Output.
The field regulator will control the field current provided that the Nominal DC Output
voltage exceeds the field voltage by at least 10%.
i.e. V

FIELD
The external AC supply must be fitted with high speed fuses to protect the field regulator.
For controllers with 10A field capability 10A fuses should be used, those with 20A field
capability 20A fuses.
Note: When using an external ac input it is important to have the correct phase
relationship on the terminals. The supply must be derived from L1 (Red) and L2 (Yellow)
phases directly or indirectly through a transformer. L1 must be connected to D1, and L2 to
D2.
