Power Module

Description
The Power Module is the power unit of an AC-AC converter. Line or motor-side components
can be added to create a converter system. If required (e.g., for braking operation), a
Braking Module can also be installed in the DC link of the converter. A slot is provided in the
Power Module for this purpose.
The Power Module creates an output voltage with variable amplitude and frequency from a
supply voltage with constant amplitude and frequency.
Danger to life due to fire if overheating occurs because of insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel as a
result of fire and smoke. This can also result in increased downtime and reduced service
lives of devices/systems.
• Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for
Notes on lifting devices
NOTICE
Damage to the device due to improper transport
Improper transport can subject the Power Module housing or the busbars to mechanical
loads, which damage the device.
• Use a lifting harness with vertical ropes or chains when transporting the Power Module.
• Do not use the Power Module busbars to support or secure lifting harnesses.
NOTICE
Material damage caused by the failure to remove lifting lugs for devices of frame sizes HX
and JX
The failure to remove lifting lugs from Power Modules frame sizes HX and JX can cause
damage to the device as the necessary voltage clearances are no longer available.
• For Power Modules frame sizes HX and JX, remove the lifting lugs marked in red once
