AFE Rectifier with Separate Isolation Transformer
For applications when the line voltage is higher than the motor voltage, a
transformer is required for voltage matching. In this case, providing an AFE
rectifier with a separate isolation transformer is ideal (indoor and outdoor
transformer versions are offered). The isolation transformer provides the input
impedance (replaces the requirement for an integral line reactor) and addresses
the common mode voltage (replaces the requirement for a CMC that is supplied
in the Direct-to-Drive rectifier configuration). However, the AFE rectifier, its
operation, and advantages are the same as the Direct-to-Drive configuration.

AFE Rectifier with Integral Isolation Transformer
For applications requiring a higher power rating than available with Direct-to-
Drive, providing an AFE rectifier with an integral isolation transformer is ideal
(indoor and outdoor transformer versions are offered). The isolation transformer
provides the input impedance (replaces the requirement for an integral line
reactor) and addresses the common mode voltage (replaces the requirement for a
CMC that is supplied in the Direct-to-Drive rectifier configuration). However,
the AFE rectifier, its operation, and advantages are the same as the Direct-to-
Drive configuration.
