Utilization category is AC-51: 1,4 x Ie – 1 s, uninterrupted duty. For further information, see Technical Specification Warnings Internal components and PCBs are at mains potential when the TPS is connected to mains. This voltage is extremely dangerous and will cause death or severe injury if contacted.
TPS Selection Select the TPS according to LOAD RATED CURRENT(FLA) - as indicated on its nameplate. Note: TPS withdrawn current by the load must not exceed TPS RATED CURRENT in each and every phase of the TPS! ________________________________________________________________________________________________...

400V applies for 230 to 400V. U, V, W Connection to resistive/inductive load. Load connection must be programmed to TPS. Refer to section 3.7 page 9. Connection to Ground. Terminal 1 Control phase (Positive – for DC control) Three control voltages are available:...

Sync. signal use Shielded twisted pair, for Terminal 19 Synchronization signal (-) (Optional) daisy chaining. Up to 10 TPS units can be connected for master slave configuration. Master Slave configuration is designed for units located in the vicinity of 20 meter maximum. Refer to section 3.9 page 11.
Input / Output indication Load Connections The TPS can be connect the load as shown in section 4.1 on page 12. The available configurations are: Wye with Neutral Connected, Wye with Neutral not Connected, Delta or inside Delta. Load connection type must be programmed to TPS. Refer to section 7.7.1 page 28.
Phase control to zero crossing (Soft start) 3.8.3 The user can program a time of which the TPS will function in PHASE CONTROL and then change to ZERO CROSSING mode. This mode of operation allows soft starting of the load. This mode is recommended when load resistance has a temperature dependant characteristic (lower resistance when cold).
This mode of operation is applicable only if mode of operation is set to ZERO CROSSING. In this mode of operation the TPS Sync. Terminals should be wired in “daisy chain” as shown in section 4.4 on page14. This mode is used to time share the ON time (Ton) period between the units.
Connecting to non symmetrical loads might damage the load! When WYE, NEUTRAL NOT CONNECTED (NC) applies set the UNBALANCE protection to the lowest practical value and trip the TPS upon UNBALANCE or else load will damage. Refer to section 7.7.3 on page 32.
(Not shown) (5) – Potentiometer control is only possible if option P (Potentiometer control) is ordered. (6) – Only short current protection is mandatory in models other than 1000V. The TPS has a built-in over current protection.
(4) - Synchronized mode cannot be implemented if one current analogue input is connected to several TPS units in series. Wiring Notes When mains voltage is connected to the TPS, even if control voltage is WARNINGS! disconnected, full voltage may appear on the TPS load terminals.
Transient Protection 4.5.2 Line transient voltages can cause a malfunction of the TPS and damage to the thyristors. All TPS units incorporate Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) to protect from normal line voltage spikes. When higher transients are expected, additional external protection should be used (consult factory).

It is recommended to mount the TPS directly on the rear metal plate for better heat dissipation. Note: Do not mount the TPS directly on the rear metal plate in case a ventilation fan or ventilation opening is on the back side of the TPS.
Jumpers settings for analogue input configuration See next page for jumpers location. The TPS incorporates 4 jumpers which configure terminals 16 & 17 to work as a voltage reference input, current reference input or voltage free potentiometer input. Jumpers must be set correctly prior to start up.
