Disconnecting MOVs

The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply contains protective MOVs 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 the MOVs from ground, remove the jumper (12-GND) on the
control terminal block shown in

Figure 1.7 on page 1-11

. Solid and

non-solid grounded systems are defined in

Table 1.G

.

Table 1.G Recommended MOV Configurations

For more information on non-solid grounded system installation, see Wiring
and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives

(publication DRIVES-UM001).

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 the
jumper. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC and –DC output
terminals. The voltage must be zero.
