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 M3539-S600Ax3-1500VDC Overvoltage Protector. It will provide you with the necessary information to successfully install and use this module 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.
M3539-S600Ax3-1500VDC 1.4. YMBOL ONVENTIONS SED IN THIS ANUAL AND ON QUIPMENT Earth Ground or Protective Earth AC Voltage DC Voltage 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.
User’s Manual RODUCT ESCRIPTION DC bus can experience dangerously high voltages. The M3539-S600Ax3-1500VDC Overvoltage Protector (4118355) is designed to save all devices connected to the DC bus by firing three SCRs when the voltage reaches a predetermined point, thus shunting the potentially damaging energy.

User’s Manual NSTALLATION NSTRUCTIONS Installation and/or removal of this product should only be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with National Electrical Code or local WARNING! codes and regulations. Proper installation of the Power Supply Modules should be accomplished following the steps outlined below.
M3539-S600Ax3-1500VDC 3.4. IRING AND USTOMER ONNECTIONS 3.4.1. OWER IRING This unit contains substantial capacitance and can maintain lethal voltages for a long time after power is removed! Insure that the DC bus level has dropped below DANGER! 40VDC before attempting to work on or with this unit! Only qualified electricians should perform and maintain the interconnection wiring of this product.
4.1. UNCTIONAL ESCRIPTION The M3539-S600Ax3-1500VDC Overvoltage Protector (4118355) is connected to the DC bus. When the voltage goes above a certain threshold, the SCRs will fire, limiting the voltage from going higher. The energy is dissipated through the field resistance. This is designed with heatsinks to handle time constants up to 12 seconds without fan or other air circulation.
M3539-S600Ax3-1500VDC The voltage attached to this terminal is referenced to the DC1-, DC2-, and DC3- main power terminals. TB3-1&2 C 4.1.2.2. ROWBAR IGNAL This signal can be used to remotely fire the SCRs with a 24VDC signal. Terminal 1 is the +24V signal, terminal 2 is the 24V- or common signal.
User’s Manual 4.2. PERATION The crowbar is designed to allow for remote firing and indication. The DC bus is monitored constantly, and the SCRs will fire under the following conditions: 1. If it goes above the overvoltage setpoint, the SCRs will fire regardless of the state of the 24V input supply.
