L34, output-side circuit breaker

8.31.1

General information

Availability of option
This option is available for the following S120 Cabinet Modules:
● Motor Modules in chassis format
Description
The option L34 (output-side circuit breaker) can be used to disconnect the motor terminals
from the converter.
It is pre-wired and installed in a separate cabinet.
Danger to life as a result of hazardous voltages for rotating permanent-magnet
synchronous motors
At the motor terminals, a rotating, permanent-field synchronous motor generates a voltage
that is proportional to the speed. The motor terminal voltage is always applied to the
converter output terminals, the DC link and the connected components. Option L34 can be
used to isolate a circuit in the event of a fault, or for maintenance work.
Note
Additional information
Detailed and comprehensive instructions and information for the circuit breaker can be found
in the supplementary option description. This description is available as additional
documentation on the customer DVD supplied with the device.
The Option L34 (output-side circuit breaker) is required in the following applications where
permanent-field motors are used:
● Drives with a high moment of inertia, which require a longer period of time to coast down
● Mechanically coupled auxiliary drives, which can be driven together by a main drive.
● When carrying out maintenance and repairs on a converter if the motor cannot be
● During high field weakening in conjunction with a suitable level of overvoltage protection,
