10.8 Pre-Charcing circuit
The Active Front End unit requires an external pre-charging circuit. The purpose of the pre-charging
unit is to charge the voltage in the intermediate circuit to a level sufficient for connecting the Active
Front End unit to the mains. The charging time depends on the capacitance of the intermediate
circuit and the resistance of the charging resistors. The technical specifications of manufacturer’s
standard pre-charging circuits are shown in Table 68. Pre-charging circuits are suitable for 380-500
Vac and 525-690 Vac.
The pre-charging components can be ordered separately. Components of the pre-charging circuit
are 2 pcs charging resistors, the contactor, the diode bridge and the snubber capacitor, see Table 69.
Each pre-charging circuit has maximum charging capacity, see Table 68. If the capacitance of the
intermediate circuit in the system exceeds the values shown, contact your nearest distributor.
