Ac Line Impedance Considerations - Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5700 User Manual

AC Line Impedance Considerations

DC-bus power supplies do not require an isolation transformer for three-phase
input power. Regenerative bus supplies also do not require an isolation
transformer for three-phase input power unless they are connected to corner-
grounded or ungrounded facility power. See
Kinetix 5700 Power Supplies
IMPORTANT These recommendations are advisory and do not address all situations.
Site-specific conditions must be considered for proper installation.
A transformer can be required to match the voltage requirements of the power
supply to the available service. For the AC input voltage requirements, refer to
the Kinetix 5700 power specifications in the Kinetix Servo Drives Technical
Data, publication KNX-TD003.
IMPORTANT When using an autotransformer, make sure that the phase to neutral/
ground voltage does not exceed the input voltage ratings of the power
supply.
Use a safety factor of 1.5 for three-phase power (where safety factor is used to
compensate for transformer, drive modules, motor losses, and to account for
utilization in the intermittent operating area of the torque speed curve).
EXAMPLE Sizing a transformer to the voltage requirements of this power supply:
2198-P141: 31kW x 1.5 = 46.5 kVA transformer.
In the following use cases, an additional transformer or line reactor is required
due to faults or potential damage associated with AC line disturbances:
• Installation site has switched power-factor correction capacitors.
• Installation site has lightning strikes or voltage spikes in excess of 6000V
peak.
• Installation site has power interruptions or voltage dips in excess of
200V AC.
• The transformer kVA is more than 10 times larger than the drive kVA, or
the percent source impedance relative to each converter is less than 0.5%.
In the following use cases, a line reactor is required due to faults associated with
sharing AC line-input on multiple converters:
• Repetitive AC input line-voltage notching is present. For example, if
silicon controlled rectifier drive is connected to the same AC input-
power source.
– In drive systems that include the regenerative bus supply, repetitive
AC line voltage notching can cause the integrated AC line filter to
overheat and result in FLT S18 converter overtemperature fault.
