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% overvoltage or 15% undervoltage .

NOTE
Drives with dual rated input voltage must be programmed for the

proper supply voltage - see 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 MC3000 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 – MC3000 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 .
Current limiting type fuses should be used when input fusing is required . Select fuses

with low I

2

T values, rated at 200,000 AIC . Recommended fuses are Bussman type

kTk-R, JJN or JJS . Similar fuses with equivalent ratings by other manufacturers may

also be acceptable .

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 .
