This Notice applies to Brushless DC Drive Model Numbers 1000 and 1000A.
MOTOR PROTECTION CONSIDERATIONS
You are about to install a
GENESIS
Series Brushless DC (BLDC) drive. You need to consider how the motor will be
protected while it is in service. This is what the Model 1000 series drive provides :
1.
“F” Series
motors have an internal switch that opens at high winding temperatures. You must connect this
switch to the drive. Look up the method of connection in the drive manual. When the thermal switch opens, the drive
has to be shut down before high temperatures can cause damage.
2. The Model 1000 series drive provides motor current limiting. This protection is adjustable from 0% to 150% of
the drive’s rated output current.
3. The Model 1000 series drive provides an overcurrent trip. This shuts off the drive if peak currents greater than
300% of the RMS rating occur.
4. The Model 1000 drive provides fast clearing fuses in the AC input. It does not provide an input circuit breaker
unless you chose that option at the time of purchase. If you did not purchase an optional circuit breaker with the drive,
you must supply a switch for input power. You must do this in order to meet the requirements of the National Electrical
Code.
5.
GENESIS
series drives
do not provide running overload protection as described in Underwriters Laboratories
Industrial Control Equipment Specification 508. The user is responsible for complying with local codes and practices. If
you decide you need more protection, that protection must shut off the drive.
