DC switch/disconnector (part of option +F286)
The supply unit connects to the AC supply network. The supply unit converts the AC voltage
into DC. The DC voltage is distributed through the DC bus to all inverter and brake units.
The inverter unit, consisting of one or more inverter modules, converts the DC back to AC
that rotates the motor. The brake unit, consisting of one or more brake chopper modules,
conveys energy to brake resistors whenever needed.
