RIVE PTIONS In 1975, Bonitron began working with AC inverter drive specialists at synthetic fiber plants to develop speed control systems that could be interfaced with their plant process computers. Ever since, Bonitron has developed AC drive options that solve application issues associated with modern AC variable frequency drives and aid in reducing drive faults.
1.2. URPOSE AND COPE This manual is a user’s guide for the Model M3645 line regen. It provides you with the necessary information to successfully install and use the M3645 modules in your application. In the event of any conflict between this document and any publication and/or documentation related to the application, the latter shall have precedence.

50Hz or 60Hz input. As the DC bus rises above the AC line peak, the M3645 redirects current from the DC bus into the AC line to limit the rise in bus voltage and prevent overvoltage faults.
HASSIS TYLE PTIONS Base Model Number The base model number for all line regen units is M3645. OLTAGE ATING A code letter represents the 3-phase AC line input voltage to the regen module. The voltage rating must be selected for the system voltage that will be applied. See Table 2-1 for available voltage ratings.
NOTE: The KIT 3645DD external display is only compatible with “L” versions of the M3645 line regen. Only a single display can be used for each line regen. The line regen is unable to power more than a single display.

Once the installation site has been selected as outlined above, the unit should be mounted in place. The M3645 must be properly oriented for proper heat flow through the unit. The M3645 must be mounted with the rear surface of the unit to the mounting surface. The unit may be mounted vertically (Figure 3-1D), or with its backplane down and parallel to the ground (Figure 3-1A).
The unit should not be exposed to falling debris or condensation. The 12 foot cable provided with the display must be attached to TB5 on the control board of the M3645 and to TB3 on the ASM 3645D3 on the rear of the display. See Figure 3-12.
NTER ODULE IRING FOR For M3645 rated for 300A an individual line reactor must be used in front of each M3645-x300T transistor module. See Figure 3-10 for wiring diagram. The user must wire both the control AC wiring from the M3645-x300R line reactor to the M3645-x300T transistor module.

Never attach the DC bus input of the M3645 to braking terminals on the AC drive, commonly marked “BR”. These terminals are intended for use with an external resistor, and are not directly connected to the bus filter capacitors of the drive.

24VDC supply, or from the internal 24V supply. To use the internal 24V supply, TB2-4 and TB2-5 must be shorted. No additional I/O wiring is required for running multiple M3645 line regens in parallel. Table 3-6: M3645 30A, 50A, 100A User I/O Terminal Specifications...
ONFIGURATIONS The diagrams shown in Figures 3-9, 3-10, 3-11 illustrate typical connections of the M3645 regen units with generic VFDs. There are many other configurations that may be applied providing a basic connection criterion is maintained such as: The AC input should maintain a low impedance path back to the grid.
UNCTIONAL ESCRIPTION The M3645 line regen enables energy being generated by an over-hauling motor to be efficiently returned to the power grid. Alternative solutions typically consist of dissipating the returned energy in a resistor or simply allowing the motor to coast uncontrolled to a stop.
M3645 4.3. IGITAL ISPLAY PERATION These screens display information about the M3645 on units equipped with digital displays or those equipped with the KIT 3645DD. 4.3.1. ETERING CREEN This screen displays the present DC bus voltage, DC regen current, regen power, and how long the unit has been powered on since shipment.
4.4. AULTS The M3645 monitors a number of different fault conditions which prevent the regen from operating. Some faults latch until they are reset by toggling the enable input. Faults that do not latch will automatically clear when the fault condition is no longer present.
HASE VERCURRENT These faults indicate that the current the M3645 is driving into one leg of the AC line has exceeded a safe operating level. This is likely due to line noise. These faults will latch until cleared by toggling the Enable input.
NABLE NPUT This input enables the M3645. Faults are reset on a rising edge of this input. Note that the unit will not operate unless this input is on. This unit can be jumpered high if the unit does not need remote operation. In this case, faults must be cleared by cycling power to the Regen.
The fan should start, then stop, within ten seconds. Enable the M3645 by placing 24VDC on the “Enable” input. (Table 3-6 or Table 3-7 for 300A units) The status contact should be closed after a 2 second delay, which is an indication that unit is ready for operation.
5.3. ROUBLESHOOTING There are no user serviceable parts within the M3645 regen unit. If you are still experiencing problems after you have reviewed this whole section, you may contact Bonitron for additional assistance at (615) 244-2825.
5.3.5. EEDBACK NDERVOLTAGE Reset the M3645 by toggling the enable input. (4.5.2) If the fault returns, contact Bonitron for assistance. 5.3.6. VERTEMPERATURE Check the ambient temperature. If the temperature is above 40°C, the unit may not be able to cool properly at full load.
If the fault cannot be cleared, or occurs frequently, the unit may be damaged. Contact Bonitron for assistance. If two M3645 units are operated in parallel, IGBT faults may indicate that the parallel combination is undersized for the application. 5.3.11.
M3645 If the fault does not clear automatically, power the M3645 down and check all incoming AC and DC fuses or overcurrent devices. Ensure that DC bus voltage is present at the terminals of the regen, at the expected voltage. Check the polarity of the DC bus connections. If the polarity is incorrect the regen will not be able to complete precharge.
M3645 models with 30A, 50A, and 100A ratings are listed under UL508C, file number E204386. The M3645 line regen is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 65 kA RMS symmetrical amperes at the rated voltage, when protected by the recommended AC fuses.
ELECTION Blown fuses typically indicate a semiconductor device failure or a severe transient. In any case, blown fuses should not be replaced without first consulting Bonitron as catastrophic damage can occur. Use Tables 6-6 and 6-7 when initially constructing the system.

User’s Manual PPENDIX 7.1. PPLICATION OTES 7.1.1. IZING THE EGENERATION The line regeneration unit is sized for the amount of DC bus current, I which it must carry. To obtain the amount of DC bus current needed during deceleration; the load and motor inertias, desired change in RPM, and required stopping time must be known.
M3645 7.1.2. ALCULATING NERGY AVINGS The regen directs energy from the mechanical load to the power distribution line, where the energy is available to other connected loads. These units provide system energy savings over dynamic braking kits, because the net energy required from the distribution system is reduced by the regenerated energy.
