  • Page 9: Available Options

    This model series is available with several input and output voltage options. Other customer specified options such as fixed voltage and/or fixed frequency operation can be provided. Behlman also produces many semi-custom or “engineering special” versions of this model. These will be identified by a four-digit suffix added to the model number.
  • Page 10 Special units may have additional information added or a specific technical manual. When in doubt, consult the factory or Behlman Sales for the latest information.
  • Page 11: Unpacking & Inspection

    If the equipment shows signs of damage, DO NOT attempt to operate it. Contact Behlman immediately and file a damage claim with the shipper. Prior authorization is required before sending any equipment back to Behlman. This is in the form of a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number that must be obtained from Behlman.
  • Page 12: Installation & Wiring

    SECTION TWO INSTALLATION AND WIRING INSTALLATION This device is designed primarily for a fixed installation site with non- user detachable wiring. This model may be mounted in an EIA standard equipment rack using the appropriate hardware (not provided). If the unit is to be rack mounted, it must be placed so as not to block the cooling vents on the sides, front, and rear panels.
  • Page 13: Input Power Requirements

    INPUT POWER REQUIREMENTS This model uses an isolation type rectifier transformer. The maximum 3 phase input power required for full output power into a resistive load is about 6000VA at nominal voltage. Overload protection is provided via a front panel mounted circuit breaker and other electronic methods.
  • Page 14 The front panel circuit breakers used on this product are “slash” rated at 277/480VAC. This applies to all models. This means they are only tested and approved for use on circuits where the line to earth voltage is a maximum of 277VAC and is guaranteed under all fault conditions. This is true of WYE connected systems that use a neutral or “grounded conductor”.
  • Page 15 AC OUTPUT LOAD CONNECTIONS Connect the load to the rear panel AC output terminal block located on the control chassis. Use only the lower row of screws for connection. Note that this device produces output voltages that are hazardous under normal conditions. The end user must make sure that all output wiring is installed in a way that prevents inadvertent contact with operating personnel.
  • Page 16 UNITS WITH TRANSFORMER OPTIONS The BL5000 series models are available with optional transformer assemblies to provide different output voltages. These are typically auto-transformers connected to boost or lower the available 0-135VAC and match the user required load impedance. T5 options provide a single range while T5D options provide a two-range output. Refer to table 2-2 for a list of standard output configurations.

  • Page 20: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Connect the unit to a source of AC power within the rated operating range for this equipment. See sections 1 and 2 of this document. 2. Connect a suitable load to the AC output terminals (see section 2). 3.
  • Page 21: Analog Remote Control

    ADJUSTMENT OF LINE DROP COMPENSATION (continued) 1.) With the load disconnected or switched off, note the voltage displayed on each output phase (line to neutral). 2.) Connect an external voltmeter of known accuracy as close to the load terminals as possible (load side of wiring).
  • Page 22 ANALOG REMOTE CONTROL (continued) TABLE 3-2 REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENT FUNCTION DESCRIPTION External sync HI Applied square wave signal 5-30V will cause output frequency to phase lock to this input. *45- 500Hz External sync LO Return for sync input, (optically coupled) DC control Common point for 0-10VDC analog signals.
  • Page 23 ANALOG REMOTE CONTROL (continued) USING THE SYNC INPUT The output frequency of the model BL5000 can be locked to an external signal applied to the analog remote-control connector. The useful range is 45- 500Hz, however, the unit can lock to frequencies outside this range. The sync signal must be restricted to a range of about 40Hz -550Hz to avoid instability if the PLL attempts to lock to frequencies outside it’s capture range.
  • Page 24 OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS (continued) These AC power supply models are based on electronic circuits that utilize various power semi-conductors. As such, there is a limit to the amount of current that can be supplied. This is true even under transient conditions. Load in-rush current is also influenced by the way in which the load is applied.
  • Page 25 parallel. OPERATION INTO LINEAR LOADS These models will provide the best overall performance into a linear load. A linear load is characterized by that fact that its current wave shape is sinusoidal. The phase relationship between the voltage and current may be anything between zero and 90 degrees (leading or lagging).
  • Page 26 DRIVING MOTORS Driving an AC induction motor can present a special problem. Most motors require a starting current that can be several times higher than their running current. This current may last for a few cycles to several seconds depending on the construction and mechanical load on the motor.
  • Page 27: Maintenance

    SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING MAINTENANCE These power supplies are completely self-contained solid-state devices and do not require any routine maintenance. When used within their ratings they will provide many years of trouble-free service. The only foreseen maintenance issue would be maintaining the ventilation “grills”...
  • Page 28: Performance Verification

    PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION The following procedure can be used to verify proper operation of the AC power supply. WARNING ! THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE EXPOSES PERSONNEL TO HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LEVELS. REFER TO QUALIFIED PERSONS ONLY 4.3.1 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED Table 4-1 lists the test equipment required to for performance verification. Other equipment may be substituted provided that it meets the minimum requirements set in the table.
  • Page 29 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION (without T option) 4.3.1 Set the (DUT) front panel OUTPUT switch to off. 4.3.2 Apply nominal line voltage, turn the unit on and allow 5 -10 minute for stabilization. 4.3.3 With the test load off, connect a DVM or wattmeter to measure the line to neutral voltage of each phase.
  • Page 30 AC LINE FUSE REPLACEMENT (346/600V, C-5, 3 phase version only) WARNING, EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES This equipment incorporates line fuses for internal fault protection. These fuses are rated @ 600VAC and provide back-up interrupt protection due to the limited front panel breaker rating.
