6.1  Creation of a PacDrive PS-4/PD-8, SCL055 application
In addition to their use in normal industrial environments, the units 
PacDrive PD-8 and PacDrive SCL-055 are also designed for 
aseptic applications. Aseptic applications have special 
requirements regarding the surface quality of devices and cables. 
The figure below shows a PacDrive PS-4, PD-8, SCL-055 
combination with an outline of possible fields of application.

6.2.1  Mains Connection of PacDrive PS-4
Switching on
When the mains voltage is switched on, the DC-circuit capacitors in 
the PacDrive PS-4 are "gently" charged via the built-in bleeder 
resistor. 
The minimum time between to precharge procedures is 15 s.
Grounding conditions of the mains network

networks
PacDrive PS-4s can be operated without potential separation on 
rotary current networks with grounded star point.

rotary current
networks
In ungrounded networks (IT networks) or networks that are not 
grounded in the star point, there is an increased risk of 
impermissible excess voltages between the outer conductors and 
the casing of the PacDrive servo amplifier.
For operations in such networks, we therefore prescribe a 
separating transformer with a grounded star point on the output 
side and a grounded PE connection of the PacDrive PS-4.
