Chapter 4 Non-regenerative Bus Supply Configuration
10. Verify that the DC bus cable/bus bars are adequately sized for the total rated DC bus current.
The total rated DC bus current is calculated by dividing the total rated AC output current from step 8 by 0.9. In this example, 2354.0 A RMS /
0.9 = 2616 A DC.
The standard PowerFlex 755TM DC bus bar is capable of 3000 A DC. All DC bus bars in the common DC bus lineup must have the same amp
rating. See PowerFlex 755TM System DC Bus Ratings on page 99
for more information about the DC bus bar ratings and options.
The chosen PowerFlex 755TM non-regenerative supply, composed of two dual-density (2X) modules, meets the required heavy duty (HD)
continuous DC amps required for this example. Additional non-regenerative supply DC bus capacitor banks are required to the meet the
target 40 µF/A ratio requirements for this example.

IMPORTANT The PowerFlex 755TM non-regenerative bus supply does not contain
overload protective devices. Ensure that you provide AC overload
protective devices that will protect the non-regenerative supply and
associated AC and DC conductors and bus bars.
