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 M3645P regenerative DC bus power supply. It provides you with the necessary information to successfully install and use the M3645P 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.
M3645P 1.4. YMBOL ONVENTIONS SED IN THIS ANUAL AND ON QUIPMENT Earth Ground or Protective Earth AC Voltage DC Voltage DANGER: Electrical hazard - Identifies a statement that indicates a shock or electrocution hazard that must be avoided. DANGER! DANGER: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.
M3645P rectifies the AC line and supplies power to the load. During a braking event, as the DC bus rises above the AC line peak, the M3645P redirects current from the DC bus into the AC line to limit the rise in bus voltage and prevent overvoltage faults.
RECHARGE PTION ODEL UMBER The base model number for all regenerative DC bus power supply units is M3645P. OLTAGE ATING A code letter represents the 3-phase AC line input voltage to the power supply module. The voltage rating must be selected for the system voltage that will be applied. See Table 2-1 for available voltage ratings.

The M3645P must be properly oriented for proper heat flow through the unit. The M3645P 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 M3645P and to TB3 on the ASM 3645D3 on the rear of the display. See Figure 3-12.

Never attach the DC bus input of the M3645P 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 M3645P units in parallel. Note: since the Overtemperature Fault cannot shut down the power supply directly, the Overtemperature output should be used to disable the drive in the event of an Overtemperature Fault.

ONFIGURATIONS The diagrams shown in Figures 3-9, 3-10, 3-11 illustrate typical connections of a M3645P unit with generic VFDs. There are many other configurations that may be applied, providing basic connection criteria are maintained, including: • The AC terminals should have a low impedance path back to the grid.
4.1. UNCTIONAL ESCRIPTION The M3645P regenerative DC bus power supply enables energy being generated by an overhauling motor to be efficiently returned to the power grid. It also supplies power to one or more drives through their DC bus terminals.
M3645P 4.3. IGITAL ISPLAY PERATION These screens display information about the M3645P on units equipped with digital displays. 4.3.1. ETERING CREEN This screen displays the present DC bus voltage, DC bus current, power being supplied or regenerated, and how long the unit has been powered on since shipment.
This fault indicates that the unit’s DC bus feedback circuitry has failed. This fault will latch until manually cleared by toggling the Enable Input. If this fault does not clear, it typically indicates that damage to the M3645P has occurred and must be repaired.
M3645P DC O 4.4.3. VERVOLTAGE This fault indicates that the DC voltage on the bus has exceeded 1000V. This fault latches until manually cleared. 4.4.4. IFFERENTIAL VERVOLTAGE This fault indicates that the DC bus is more than 200V higher than the AC line peak.
User’s Manual 4.4.10. EGEN OWER RECHARGE OMPLETE These faults indicate that the unit has been powered on in the last ten seconds. This fault will clear automatically. If this fault does not clear, it typically indicates that damage to the unit has occurred. 4.4.11.
Otherwise damage to the power supply may result. The M3645P will continue to rectify incoming voltage and operate with the temperature switch open. Continued operation with the temperature switch open can cause dangerous...
5.3. ROUBLESHOOTING There are no user serviceable parts within the M3645P. If you are still experiencing problems after you have reviewed this whole section, you may contact Bonitron for additional assistance at (615) 244-2825.
If the unit is operating in current limit, it may be undersized for the application. ▪ If the M3645P is connected to the AC line through a transformer, the transformer may not be large enough to handle the regenerated currents. See section 3.4.1.1 for transformer sizing instructions.
If the fault cannot be cleared, or occurs frequently, the unit may be damaged. Contact Bonitron for assistance. If two M3645P units are operated in parallel, IGBT faults may indicate that the parallel combination is undersized for the application. 5.3.11.
If the fault cannot be cleared, or occurs frequently, the unit may be damaged. Contact Bonitron for assistance. 5.3.15. REQUENCY ETECT AILURE Power the M3645P down and check all incoming AC and DC fuses or overcurrent devices. – B 5.3.16.

M3645P models with 30A, 50A, and 100A ratings are listed under UL508C, file number E204386. The M3645P 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.
M3645P 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.
