Connecting the DC Power
The DC power for the Panther is delivered from a separated rectifying unit (supplied by the
user). The following sections contain topology recommendations for implementing three-phase
and a single-phase supply chains. Elmo offers the end-user, the option to purchase its
Tambourine rectifier, which offers a range of versatile options.
The power stage of the Panther is fully isolated from the other sections of the Panther, such as
the control-stage and the heat sink. This isolation allows the user to connect the common of
the control section to the PE, a connection that significantly contributes to proper functionality,
safety and EMI immunity, leading to better performance of the Panther.
In addition, this isolation simplifies the requirements of the DC power supply that is used to
power the DC bus of the Panther, by allowing it to operate with a non-isolated DC power
source (a direct-to-mains connection) which eliminates the need for a bulky and expensive
isolation transformer.
However, as well as operating from a non-isolated/direct-to-mains DC power supply, the
Panther can also operate from an isolated power supply or batteries.
When rectifying the AC voltage source, the AC voltage-level must be limited as follows:
Drive Model (V) AC voltage-level limit (VAC) DC Maximum (VDC)
400
270
390
700
477
680
800
528
747
If the Panther is connected to Elmo’s Tambourine power supply, then the end-user can exploit
the Tambourine’s options, such as EMI-filtering and shunt-regulator.

Direct-to-Mains Power Source (Non-Isolated Rectifier)
This section relates to the configuration of the power supply and drive, which are connected
directly to the mains (Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9).
Recommended connection of a non-isolated DC power supply
1.
For best immunity, it is highly recommended to use twisted cables for the DC power supply
cable. A 3-wire shielded cable should be used. The gauge is determined by the actual
current consumption of the motor.
2.
Connect both ends of the cable shield to the closest PE connections.
3.
Tie one end to the power supply’s PE terminal, and tie the other end to the PE pins of the
module/PE terminal of the integration board, or attach it to one of the four mounting
screws of the drive’s heat sink.
