Disconnecting MOVs and
RFI Filter Capacitors

The Diode Bus Supply contains protective MOVs, and input filter and
common mode capacitors that are referenced to ground. To prevent damage,
the MOVs should be disconnected from ground if the Bus Supply is
installed on any non-solid grounded distribution system
where the
line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of the nominal
line-to-line voltage. To disconnect these devices from ground, remove the
jumpers shown in

Table 1.D

. Jumpers can be removed by carefully pulling

the jumper straight out. Solid and non-solid grounded systems are defined
in

Table 1.E

.

and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives,

It is highly recommended to accurately determine the power source type and then configure appropriately.

When MOVs are disconnected, the power system must have its own transient protection to ensure known and
controlled voltages.

Benefits of Correct Power Source
Type Configuration

Solid Grounded

• AC fed, solidly grounded
• DC fed from passive rectifier which

has an AC source and solid ground

Connected

• UL compliance
• Reduced electrical noise
• Most stable operation
• EMC compliance
• Reduced voltage stress on

components and motor bearings

Non-Solid Grounded

• AC fed ungrounded
• Impedance grounded
• High resistive ground
• B phase ground
• Regenerative unit (common DC bus

supply and brake)

• DC fed from an active converter

Disconnected

• Helps avoid severe equipment

damage when ground fault occurs

!

ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before removing/
installing jumpers. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC and –
DC output terminals. The voltage must be zero.
