Product Description
MAN-TAMIG (Ver . 1.501)
9
The Tambourine 20 power supply is a compact direct-to-mains power supply designed to power
multiple servo drives up to 528 VAC. It was designed to complement Elmo servo drives that do not
include an integrated power supply. It has the following features:
• Rectifies AC input voltages of up to 3×528 VAC into filtered DC voltage with an output current
of 20 A continuous and a 40 A peak.
• The number of servo drives powered by a single Tambourine 20 power supply is limited only
by the total power consumption of the servo drives and not by the output current of the
Tambourine 20.
• Can operate directly from the mains when feeding isolated servo drives, or via an isolation
transformer when non- isolated servo drives are employed.
• Has a high capacitance to offer a low output voltage drop while operating from a single-phase
source.
• Has regenerating braking capability that enables fast braking of high inertia.
• Has built-in inrush current limiters that limit the power-on currents to low levels, reducing
turn-on stress from the mains.
• Has internal EMC filtering that eliminates the necessity for external devices, therefore
complies with CE and other EMC regulations.
• Has a Book Shelf (Panel Mount) structure, enabling simple and fast mounting.

2.3.3 Shunt Regulator
A shunt regulator is included in the power supply section of the Tambourine 20. The shunt regulator
is a switching type, wherein dissipative elements (resistors) are switched across the DC bus,
whenever the voltage reaches a predetermined level. The function of the shunt regulator is to
regulate the voltage of the DC bus during the period of motor deceleration, when there is a net
energy outflow from the motor to the servo drive. The servo drive handles this reverse energy just
as efficiently as it provides energy to the motor, hence, most of the energy is passed through the
servo drive back to the power supply, where this returning energy charges the filter capacitors
above their normal voltage level, as determined by the AC incoming voltage.
When the capacitors charge-up reaches the predetermined shunt threshold level, the shunt
regulator begins its regulating action. The bus is regulated to the specific model type voltage, until
regeneration ceases.

3.4 Mounting and Wiring the Tambourine 20
For optimum heat dissipation, the Tambourine 20 should be installed with the heat sink attached to
the machine's chassis. When mounting the Tambourine 20 make sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4“)
outward from the heatsink, to enable free air convection around the power supply.
3.4.1 Mounting
20
Figure 2: Mounting the Tambourine 20
The Tambourine 20 is designed for two standard mounting options (Figure 2):
• Wall Mount along the back (can also be mounted horizontally on a metal surface)
• Book Shelf along the side
1. Use M4 x 8 round head screws, one through each opening in the heat sink, to mount the
Tambourine 20 in position opposite the specific holes drilled.
2. Tighten the screws to just tight. Do not overtighten the screws.
3.4.2 Wiring Guidelines
1. Use flexible wires with the proper cross-section to handle the unit current. Color coding is
recommended.
2. After the wiring is completed, carefully inspect all connections in order to ensure tightness.

3.4.3 AC Power Source
The AC voltage supply can be of any voltage within the range defined in the Tambourine 20
technical specifications. It must be able to deliver power to the servo drives (including peak power),
without significant drops. A three-phase supply is always recommended whenever possible, in
order to provide better DC bus voltage stability (low voltage ripple) under high load conditions.
Inrush current control is included within the Tambourine 20 power supply, which makes the
Tambourine 20 capable to be fed directly from the mains, whenever it supplies isolated drives.
When operating with a single-phase supply, a voltage drop due to loading is expected. The
magnitude of the voltage drop depends on the load current and the stiffness of the power source.
The following is a graph showing the typical expected VP+ drop, at certain load current when
supplied by a single AC phase source:

3.4.6 Connecting the Main Power Cable
To connect the AC power cable:
1. For best noise immunity, a shielded (not twisted) cable is recommended (not mandatory) for
the AC input cable.
2. When operating with a three-phase power source, a 4-wire shielded cable should be used:
a. Connect the 3-phase leads of the main input cable to the AC1, AC2 and AC3 terminals of the
main input connector.
26
b. For safety requirements, the green/yellow-wire must be connected to the protective earth
(PE terminal). Connect the Protective Earth wire to the PE terminal on the main input
connector.
When operating with a single-phase power source, a 3-wire shielded cable should be used:
a. Connect the first phase lead of the main input cable to the AC1 terminal of the main input
connector.
For an output of 1 to 10 A:
The second lead can be connected into either terminal AC2 or AC3.
For an output of 10 A and higher:
The second lead must be connected into both terminal AC2 and AC3.
b. For safety requirements, the green/yellow-wire must be connected to the protective earth
(PE terminal). Connect the Protective Earth wire to the PE terminal on the main input
connector.
3. The gauge of the cable strands is determined by:
a. For three-phase source, the sum of the actual current consumption of the drives being fed
by the Tambourine 20.
b. For single-phase source, twice the sum of the actual current consumption of the drives
being fed by the Tambourine 20.
4. The Tambourine 20 has a dual-terminal input for each phase. Whenever the total output-
current from the Tambourine 20 exceeds 10 A – each input phase MUST be connected through
both twin-terminals.

DC output cable. A 3-wire shielded cable should be used. The gauge is determined by the actual
current consumption of the drives being fed by the relevant DC output.
2. Connect the three wires of the DC output cable to the DC output connector of the
Tambourine 20:
a. Connect the DC leads to the VP+ and VN- terminals of the DC output connector.
27
b. For safety requirements, the third green/yellow-wire must be connected to the protective
earth (PE terminal). Connect the Protective Earth wire to the PE terminal on the DC output
connector.
3. When the Tambourine 20 is fed from an isolation transformer, from the safety and EMI aspects,
the PR (VN-) junction must be connected to PE junction.

3.4.8 DC-Link Shared Connection
Each Tambourine 20 contains a shunt. Its purpose is to "absorb" regenerated energy created by the
motor during braking and convert that energy into heat. If the energy regenerated by the motor
exceeds the capacity of the shunt, the drive is inhibited and an overvoltage message is sent.
To prevent this from happening, the braking-capacity of the shunt system can be extended by
connecting the DC output of several Tambourine 20s in parallel. When two or more Tambourine 20s
are connected, by DC Link cables, the regenerated energy is distributed among them. This spreads
the energy spikes over several shunts and enables the application to continue normal operation,
and avoid overvoltage interruptions.

3.5 Heat Dissipation
For full power output capability the Tambourine 20 is designed to be mounted on an external heatsink. It is highly recommended that the “Wall” on which the Tambourine 20 is mounted will have
heat dissipation capabilities. The Tambourine 20 at “free air convection” (without an additional
heat-sink) can dissipate around 12 W for 40°C ambient temperature and not exceeding 85 °C on the
heat sink.
When “Free Air Convection” is sufficient for the application it is recommended to leave
approximately 10 mm of space between the Tambourine 20's heat sink and any other assembly.
When attaching to an external heat-sink, it is recommended to use N5-N7 surface treatment and
thermal foil or smearing thermal compound.
3.5.1 Tambourine 20 Thermal Data
• Free air convection thermal resistance (θ): Approximately 5 to 6°C/W.
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 20 minutes/ 1200 seconds (thermal time constant
means that the Tambourine 20 will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 20 minutes).
29
• Self-heat dissipation capability (no external heat sink): 12 W for 40°C/W temperature rise.
• The thermal resistance when connecting to an external heat sink using a thermal conductive
compound/foil. By proper smearing of the surface a significant improvement of the thermal
resistance is achieved: 0.03°C/W.

3.5.3 How to Use the Charts
The charts above are based upon theoretical worst-case conditions. Actual test results show 30% to
50% better power dissipation.
To determine if your application needs a heat sink:
1. Allow maximum heat sink temperature to be 85 °C or less.
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Tambourine 20 as ≤ 40°C.
3. Calculate the allowable temperature increase according to the following example: For an
ambient temperature of 40 °C, ΔT = 85 to 40°C = 45°C
4. Use the chart to find the actual dissipation power of the drive. Follow the curve to the desired
output current and then find the dissipated power.

4.1 LED Diagnostics
Figure 11: Power LED Indicators
The following indication LEDs are mounted on the front panel of the Tambourine 20 (Figure 11):
LED Color Indication
POWER Green Internal supply presence
SHUNT ON Red Shunt is on (blinks whenever the shunt is activated)
FAULT Red Shunt is inhibited due to:
A DC bus level that is higher than the shunt
threshold point
A duty cycle limitation
Wait a couple of minutes to exit the fault state.
The LED will switch OFF. Then reinitialize the system.
