INPUT AC REQUIREMENTS

WARNING!

Hazard of electrical shock! Disconnect incoming power and wait three

minutes before servicing the drive. Capacitors retain charge after

power is removed.

8.1

INPUT AC POWER REQUIREMENTS

8.1.1 VOLTAGE

The input voltage must match the drive’s nameplate voltage rating. Voltage fluctuation

must not vary by greater than 10% over voltage or 15% under voltage.
NOTE: Drives with dual rated input voltage must be programmed for the proper

supply voltage. Refer to Parameter 0 - LINE VOLTS in Section 18 - DESCRIPTION

OF PARAMETERS.
The UL file for this drive shows that it is suitable for use on a circuit capable of

delivering not more than 200,000 RMS symmetrical amperes, at the drive’s rated

voltage. The CSA file identifies a short-circuit withstand rating of 5,000 RMS

symmetrical amperes at the drives rated voltage.
Three phase voltage imbalance must be less than 2.0% phase to phase. Excessive

phase to phase imbalance can cause severe damage to the drive’s power

components.
Motor voltage should match line voltage in normal applications. The drive’s maximum

output voltage will equal the input voltage. Use extreme caution when using a motor

with a voltage rating which is different from the input line voltage.

8.1.2

SUPPLY TRANSFORMER kVA RATINGS

If the kVA rating of the AC supply transformer is greater than ten times the input

kVA rating of the drive, a drive isolation transformer, or a 2 - 3% input line reactor

(also known as a choke) must be added.

8.2

INPUT FUSING AND DISCONNECT REQUIREMENTS

A circuit breaker or a disconnect switch with fuses must be provided in accordance

with the National Electric Code (NEC) and all local codes.
The MC1000 drive is capable of withstanding up to 150% current overload for 60

seconds. Select a fuse or magnetic trip circuit breaker rated at 1.5 times the input

current rating of the drive (the minimum size should be 10 amps, regardless of input

current rating). Refer to Section 5 - MC1000 RATINGS. Minimum voltage rating of

the protection device should be 250 Vac for 240/120 Vac and 240/200 Vac rated

drives, and 600 Vac for 480/400 Vac and 590/480 Vac drives.
Use UL Class CC or Class T current-limiting type fuses with low I

2

T values, rated

at 200,000 AIC. Recommended fuses are Bussman type KTK-R, JJN, and JJS, or

equivalent.

WARNING!

Per UL requirements, use a FUSE (not a circuit breaker) for 240VAC drives

requiring >40A protection and for 480VAC & 600VAC drives requiring

>32A protection.
