Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring Single Phase Input Utility Wiring and Operation Ironhorse ACN is a three-phase standard variable frequency drive(VFD). When applying single-phase power to a three-phase VFD, there are several constraints that need to be considered. Standard Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) VFDs use a 6-pulse diode rectifier.
Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring Power (HP), Input Current and Output Current When using a three-phase VFD with single-phase input, derating the drive’s output current and horsepower will be necessary because of the increase in DC bus ripple voltage and current. In addition, the input current through the remaining two phases on the diode bridge converter will approximately double, creating another derating consideration for the VFD.

Appendix A: Accessories Fuses/Circuit Breakers Protection devices are essential to prevent damage to your ACN drive and application equipment. Please use the fuse specification chart below to select fuses that are applicable to your ACN drive. Only use UL-certified 600V fuses which comply with your local regulations.
Appendix A: Accessories High Performance EMI Input Filters The optional accessories listed in this chapter are available for use with the ACN drive. Selection of these accessories is application specific and may improve drive performance. Additional information regarding filter installation and operation is available in the AutomationDirect white paper, “Applied EMI/RFI Techniques Overview.”...
Page 343
Appendix A: Accessories 4) The subpanel or metal plate used to support the EMI filter and ACN drive should be well grounded (minimal resistance to ground is typically less then 1Ω). 5) To insure that the EMI filter and ACN drive are adequately grounded, insure that both are securely attached to the subpanel or plate Choose suitable motor cable and precautions Proper installation and the the choice of good motor cable will positively affect the performance of the filter.
Appendix A: Accessories Reflective Wave Phenomenon The drive section of a PWM drive like the ACN does not produce sinusoidal output voltage wave forms. Rather, the output voltage produced is a continuous train of width modulated pulses, sent to the motor terminals via the motor cable.
Appendix A: Accessories Line Reactors / Voltage Time Filters Line Reactor Installing an AC reactor on the input side of an AC motor drive can increase line impedance, improve the power factor, reduce input current, increase system capacity, and reduce interference generated from the motor drive. It also reduces momentary voltage surges or abnormal current spikes from the mains power, further protecting the drive.
Appendix A: Accessories DC Reactor A DC reactor can also increase line impedance, improve the power factor, reduce input current, increase system power, and reduce interference generated from the motor drive. A DC reactor stabilizes the DC bus voltage. Compared with an AC input reactor, a DC reactor is in smaller size, lower price, and lower voltage drop (lower power dissipation).

Appendix A: Accessories Output Side of AC Drive When installed on the output side of the ACN drive, line (load) reactors help to protect the ACN drive from short circuits at the load. Voltage and current waveforms from the ACN drive are enhanced, reducing motor overheating and noise emissions.
Appendix A: Accessories Multiple Motors A single output (load) reactor can be used with multiple motors on the same ACN drive, but only if the motors operate simultaneously. Size the reactor based upon the total horsepower of all the motors, and select a reactor with a current rating greater than the sum of the motor full-load currents.
Appendix A: Accessories Single-Phase Applications Some three-phase line reactors are listed for use with single-phase input power. Follow the connection diagram shown below. Make sure that terminals B1 and B2, if present, are properly insulated before any connections are made. If a 3-phase reactor is used on the line side of a single-phase input drive application, ensure that the actual single-phase current does not exceed the Line Reactor's current rating (example: a 3-phase, 5hp line reactor and 3-phase 5hp drive will not handle enough current to power a 5hp motor on a single-phase supply - both the drive and the line reactor will have to be doubled).
Appendix A: Accessories Dynamic Braking Dynamic braking resistors dissipate the regeneration energy of AC motors when they are being controlled to a stop faster than a coasting stop. GS series brake resistors can be used with ACN drives. All drives have the braking function built-in and do not require a separate dynamic braking unit.
AutomationDirect for the power calculation. 4) Refer to the ADC Dynamic Braking unit User Manual for more detail on braking resistors (https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/gs3dbm/gs-db_ump.pdf) 5) The selection tables are for 5% duty cycle. If the AC motor drive requires frequent braking, increase the Watts by two to three times.
