1-4 Installation/Wiring
(girder, joist), a floor ground rod, bus bar or building ground grid.
Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety
regulations and/or electrical codes.
Fuses
The DC SCR Precharge Module is designed for internal application inside
the drive(s) enclosure. The customer may install the external DC bus fuses
if the fuse protection does not exist inside the drive. National and local
industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes may determine
additional requirements for these installations.
Minimum Capacitance
To operate and test the module, at least one drive must be connected at the
power terminals “+DCin” and “+DCout” to provide a minimum DC bus
capacitance (470 microfarads). One 7.5 kW (10 HP) PowerFlex
®
700H or
PowerFlex 700S drive provides the required minimum capacitance.
Important: If the drive (inverter) is disconnected from the DC bus, the DC
SCR Precharge Module internal fault detection circuit will not
interpret the condition as a “Precharge Not Completed” and
will not stop gating the SCR.
Maximum Loading
To avoid overloading the DC SCR Precharge Module, the following
requirements apply:
• The DC input current sum (Normal Duty rating at 50°C/122°F) of the
connected drive(s) must not exceed the continuous DC bus output
current rating of the DC SCR Precharge Module at 50°C/122°F.
• Multiple drives may be connected as long as the maximum current rating
is not exceeded.
For the DC input current values of the drives (PowerFlex 700H, PowerFlex
700S or 1336 PLUS

II), please refer to tables in Appendix A of their
respective User Manuals.
Table 1.A
shows examples for maximum loading of the DC SCR Precharge
Module when it is used for PowerFlex 700H or PowerFlex 700S drive
applications.
