2.1 Hardware Configuration
Figure 2-1 depicts a typical GEN III style line-up in which each VFD normally consists of a single cabinet with
multiple sections. These sections, described below, are:
• The transformer section
• The custom I/O section
• The control section
• The cell section
Depending on the HP and voltage ratings, some GENIII systems may be shipped as a single unit in which the
Transformer and Cell Cabinet are integrated into on unit. Larger GENIII systems may be shipped so that the
Transformer and Cell Cabinet are split due to size and weight restrictions. In all GENIII systems, the input and output
connections are located in the Transformer Cabinet. The control section is a swinging panel that resides in the left
