The inverter output is disabled and the motor coasts if the output frequency
drops to zero or if the bus voltage drops below Vopen or if any of the “run permit”
inputs are de-energized.
The pre-charge relay opens if the bus voltage drops below Vopen.
The pre-charge relay closes if the bus voltage rises above Vclose
If the bus voltage rises above Vrecover for 20mS, the drive determines the power
loss is over. The power loss alarm is cleared.
If the drive is still in inertia ride through operation, the drive immediately
accelerates at the programmed rate to the set speed. If the drive is coasting and it
is in a “run permit” state, the reconnect algorithm is run to match the speed of the
motor. The drive then accelerates at the programmed rate to the set speed.
Half Voltage
This mode provides the maximum power ride through. In a typical application
230VAC motors are used with a 480VAC drive, the input voltage can then drop
to half and the drive is still able to supply full power to the motor.
The drive determines a power loss has occurred if the bus voltage drops below
Vtrigger.
If the drive is running the inverter output is disabled and the motor coasts.
If the bus voltage drops below Vopen/Vmin (In this mode of operation Vopen
and Vmin are the same value) or if the Enable input is de-energized, the inverter
output is disabled and the motor coasts. If the Not Stop or Run inputs are
de-energized, the drive stops in the programmed manner.

ATTENTION:
To guard against drive damage, a minimum line
impedance must be provided to limit inrush current when the power
line recovers. The input impedance should be equal or greater than
the equivalent of a 5% transformer with a VA rating 6 times the drive’s
input VA rating.
