Description

The self-commutating infeed / regenerative feedback units act as step-up converters and
generate a stabilized DC link voltage that is 1.5x greater than the rated line supply voltage.
In this way, the connected Motor Modules are isolated from the supply voltage. This
improves the dynamic response and control quality because line tolerances and fluctuations
do not affect the motor voltage.
If required, the Active Line Modules can also provide reactive power compensation.

Frame size FX
Active Infeed components
An Active Infeed comprises an Active Interface Module and an Active Line Module.
The bypass contactor is fitted in the relevant Active Interface Module on Active Infeeds which
feature an Active Line Module of frame size FX or GX. The Active Interface Modules and
Active Line Modules of these frame sizes have degree of protection IP20.
