Introduction To The Product - gefran AFE200 4 Series Instruction Manual

2 - Introduction to the product

AFE200 is the series of AC/DC Active Front End (AFE) regenerative, DC Bus
power supply units
With a powerful 32-bit technology platform and reliable IGBT power stage the
AFE200 offers significant advantages for single or multi-inverter automation sys-
tems powered by a common DC bus.
AFE200 is intended to power the ADV200..-DC fed family of AC inverters, either
single module or multi-modules with their DC buses tied in parallel.
It may also be used to supply ADV200-...-IT series intended to be powered from a
DC input.
About use with standard products (i.e. ADV200...-4 or -6) or other brand products.
AC fed inverters may utilize input filter capacitors that exist from the input diode bridge
to ground. These capacitors are subject to failure if the product is powered via the DC

bus input.
In this scenario, the input filter capacitors should be removed before powering up the
unit from an AFE...
For GEFRAN legacy or AC fed units, please consult the factory.
For Other Brand products, consult the manufacturer of that product.
Note!
In order to work properly, an external LCL type line input filter and precharge kit is needed.
LCL filters must be chosen based on the overload required for the AFE: Heavy Duty or Low Duty.

Reduced operating costs
The AFE200 achieves considerable savings in terms of power consumption
and the relative costs. The kinetic energy of the inertia of the loads transformed
into electric energy by the AFE200 is sent back to the mains supply during
