1.1 i-Drive Versions 
Eight models of i-Drive are available to suit either 24V or 36V dc system voltages. The product codes for the full i-Drive family are 
as follows. 
 
Model Name  Nominal Supply Voltage  Max. Output Rating 
i24-45  24V dc only  45 Amps 
i36-45  24 or 36V dc  45 Amps 
i24-70  24V dc only  70 Amps 
i36-70  24 or 36V dc  70 Amps 
i24-140  24V dc only  140 Amps 
i36-140  24 or 36V dc  140 Amps 
i24-180  24V dc only  180 Amps 
i36-180  24 or 36V dc  180 Amps 
 
To identify which type of i-Drive you have, the voltage and output current rating is shown on the controller’s serial number label as 
detailed below. 
 
 
 
The number in the box indicates the output current; the single digit number to the left of the box indicates the operating voltage. 
2 = 24V dc only. 
3 = 24V dc or 36V dc. 
 
1.2 i-Drive Operation 
Study 
Chapter 1: Operation. It is important that the information in Chapter 1 is supplied with the machine, either as part of the 
machine user handbook or as a separate document. 
This chapter sets out the installation conditions that must be complied with in order to meet the safety requirements of 
EN60335/2/72.
