WHAT IS A GENESIS SERIES BRUSHLESS DC DRIVE ?
The GENESIS series of drives were developed to operate very large Brushless DC motors. Large BLDC
motors were first made by POWERTEC Industrial Corporation in 1987.
Small BLDC motors have been in use for many years. The GENESIS series were the first drives that
were produced to operate really large BLDC motors. They range from fractional Horsepower (HP) to 300 HP.
Brushless DC motors and drives offer three significant benefits to the user:
1. Absolute Speed Control
2. High Efficiency
3. Low Maintenance.
ABSOLUTE SPEED CONTROL
The AC induction motor must “slip” in order to develop torque. “Slip” means that the rotor slows down
when loaded. The amount of slip varies with the load on the motor. When the motor load changes from no
load to full load, speed may change as much as 50 RPM. You must use extraordinary means to employ AC
motors in speed sensitive applications.
Traditional brush-type DC motors have “IR Losses.” These cause the speed of the motor to vary as the
load changes. “IR Losses” account for speed changes of as much as 2% of base speed. You can limit speed
changes to about 0.5% with a very expensive tachometer. That is still 8 or 9 RPM from no load to full load.
You must use extraordinary means to employ brush-type DC motors in speed sensitive applications.
Brushless DC drives and motors do not change speed when the load changes. This is true with the
standard product, right out of the box! This is very good for speed sensitive applications.
HIGH EFFICIENCY
AC induction motors are fairly efficient when operated across the line on plant power. Using an AC
variable speed inverter to control the speed of the AC motor adds power losses as heat in the drive. It also
creates additional losses in the motor. Total losses in the AC system approach 10% at the 100HP level.
Brush-type DC motor systems at 100 HP are relatively efficient, but the losses total about 8%.
Losses average less than 6% in Brushless DC systems at the 100 HP level.
At 100 HP, each percentage of losses is 750 watts. That’s 18 Kilo-Watt-Hours (KWH) per day, or about
6,500 KWH per year. A 2% increase in efficiency results in over $1,000 a year in direct energy savings.
LOW MAINTENANCE
An AC motor running on a variable speed AC drive produces a lot of heat. The motor needs lubrication
more often. It needs extra bearing changes. Heat also shortens the life of the motor.
Brush-type DC motors require frequent brush replacement. They need commutator service and field and
armature rewinding. They also require frequent lubrication and bearing changes due to heat.
Brushless DC motors need greasing, but oversize bearings and low heat output allow long bearing life.
Maintenance on a Brushless DC motor is minimal.
POWERTEC offers the GENESIS series for general purpose industrial use.
POWERTEC also offers a complete line of servo-duty rated drives and motors covering the range from
1/10 to 300 HP.

Follow these steps to quickly set up and operate the Model 1000 Brushless DC drive. If you are not sure
of the procedure for any of the steps, consult the installation section (beginning on page 7).
CONNECTIONS
Connect the proper three-phase AC power from a suitably rated switching device to the input terminals L1, L2,
1.
and L3. Check the nameplate. The sequence of the phases is not important to the drive.
Connect the power system ground to the GND terminal. Make sure the system ground is earth ground.
2.
Connect T1 of the motor to T1 of the drive. Connect T2 to T2, and T3 to T3. The order of connection is
3.
important. The motor will not run with improper motor connections..
Connect a ground wire from the motor’s ground lug to the GND terminal on the drive.
4.
Connect the encoder cable to the motor. Consult the drawing on page 2. The cable used should be a nine-
5.
conductor shielded cable. The colors do not matter, but they aid in tracing wires. Connect the shield at both
ends of the cable (the shield continues inside the motor, but is not connected there).
Connect a 10 Kilo-ohm Speed Potentiometer to TB2 terminals 9 (CW), 10 (Wiper), and 11 (CCW). Connect the
6.
shield of the speed pot cable to TB2 terminal 12.
Connect an Emergency Stop (ESTOP) button between TB2 terminals 6 and 7. Use a normally closed,
7.
maintained open contact type pushbutton.
Connect a normally closed, momentary type, STOP pushbutton between TB2 terminals 7 and 5.
8.
Connect a normally open, momentary type, RUN pushbutton between TB2 terminals 5 and 4.
9.
If desired, connect a normally open, momentary type, JOG pushbutton between TB2 terminals 5 and 13.
10.
If desired, connect a Forward-Reverse (FWD-REV) selector switch to TB2 terminals 17 and 14. Use a single-
11.
pole, two-position switch. The switch should close a contact in the Reverse position.
START UP
Before applying power, turn the speed pot fully counter-clockwise (CCW) and turn the CLIM pot fully counter-
1.
clockwise. Do not connect the motor to a load for its initial run. Set FWD-REV to FWD.
When you apply power, the PWR LED should light up GREEN immediately.
2.
When you apply power, the BUS LED should light up RED immediately.
3.
When power is on, the HS1, HS2, and HS3 LED’s may or may not be on RED, depending on the position of
4.
the motor. Only one or two should light; never all three and never none.
When power is on, the TAC LED may be OFF, RED, GREEN, or ORANGE.
5.
Within 30 seconds, the BUS LED should turn GREEN and the you should hear the charging contactor click as
6.
it energizes. If this does not happen within 30 seconds, shut power off and consult the troubleshooting section.
Press and release the START button. The RUN LED should light. The CURRENT LIMIT LED may come on at
7.
this time because the CLIM pot is all the way counter-clockwise.
Immediately after the RUN LED comes on, the ENABLE LED should light.
8.
Increase the speed pot reference to about 10% of its rotation from the CCW position.
9.
Turn the CLIM pot slowly clockwise. If the motor does not turn (HS1, HS2, HS3, and TAC will start blinking)
10.
before CLIM is at 50%, turn the CLIM pot back down fully CCW. Consult the troubleshooting section.
When the motor begins turning more than 10 RPM, the ZERO SPD LED should light up YELLOW.
11.
Leave the CLIM pot at 50 % and increase the speed pot to 50% of its rotation. Check the motor speed with a
12.
hand-held tachometer. Adjust the MAX speed pot, if necessary to attain 50% speed.
Turn the speed pot to 100% and measure the motor speed. Adjust MAX speed if necessary.
13.
Press the Normal Stop button and start again. Time the acceleration to full speed and set ACCEL time.
14.
Turn speed pot to 0% (CCW) and set MIN SPD potentiometer, if desired.
15.
Set STAB and GAIN to 50% of their rotation. Press the Normal Stop button. ENABLE should go OFF.
16.
Press the JOG button and set the JOG speed, if desired.
17.
Start the drive at any speed and switch the Forward-Reverse switch to check reversing.
18.
The motor is ready for service.

PHYSICALLY INSTALL THE MODEL 1000 DRIVE?
DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGES ARE NORMAL IN THIS EQUIPMENT! WHEN THE AC INPUT POWER IS
REMOVED, THE CAPACITORS ARE NOT DISCHARGED AT ONCE! WAIT FIVE MINUTES AND THEN CHECK
TO BE SURE THAT THE CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE WORKING ON THE DRIVE.
9
WARNING! :
Mount with 1/4-20 bolts
and nuts in 4 places
IF YOU TESTED THE DRIVE BEFORE INSTALLATION, CHECK THE BUS VOLTAGE. YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE BUS CAPACITORS HAVE DISCHARGED.
Mount a Model 1000 series drive of the NEMA 1 style with the fuses at
the top. Do not block air flow around the unit. Free air must flow up through
the fins on the back of the drive.
The temperature of the air around the drive (the ambient) must not
exceed 40°C (104°F) with a relative humidity of 95% or less.
Leave at least 6 inches (150 mm) of open space on all sides of the
NEMA 1 box. Do not mount it directly above a heat source, such as another
drive. If you mount two drive units in line vertically, there must be at least 18
inches (450 mm) of open space between the units.
When you move the Model 1000 series drive chassis to an enclosure,
DO NOT handle the chassis by parts that may bend or come loose. This
applies to the front cover of the drive. Support the chassis by the outside
edges of the heatsink.
Mount the chassis style Model 1000 series drive in an upright position (fuses at
top) inside an enclosure. Mount the chassis this way to promote cooling air flow
through the heatsink fins.
The temperature of the air around the chassis (ambient) may not exceed 55 °C
(131 °F). Relative humidity should be 95% or less, non-condensing.
Avoid mounting one chassis directly above another. This will result in hot air from
the lower chassis flowing up into the upper chassis. Leave at least 12 inches (300
mm) of open space between them.
There must be a minimum free panel space of 3 inches (75 mm) above and
below the chassis. This allows proper air flow through the heatsink fins.
The total heat dissipation within the electrical enclosure, for chassis units,
determines the size. There is a list of the heat output of the Model 1000 series drives
in the table on page 10.
NEMA 1, NEMA 1A, and NEMA 12 ventilated boxes depend upon air flowing
through the enclosure for cooling. They must have an air flow of 1 CFM (cubic feet
per minute) per 10 watts of dissipation (1 cubic meter/minute per 350 watts).
The allowance for totally enclosed units is 1 square foot of enclosure surface per
7 watts of dissipation (75 watts per square meter). Surface area includes front, sides,
top and bottom surface areas. Enclosure surfaces not exposed to cooling air do not
count.
For further information, consult the publication THERMAL MANAGEMENT,
available from your distributor.
Use of the Model 1000 Series drive above 3300 ft (1000 meters) requires de-rating.
If the drive is to be stored, store it in its original packaging in a dry environment.
Storage temperature should be between -40°C and +65°C.

However, the branch service rating (in KVA) supplying the drive must not

be more than 10 times the HP rating of the drive. If it is, you may need special
disconnecting means with a higher AC short-circuit current interrupting
capacity.
Model 1000 series drives do not include a disconnect for input power. The
user must supply a switch that meets applicable code requirements.
The maximum Interrupting Capacity (AIC) of the fuses is 5,000 amperes.
You will need a switch with a rating greater than 5,000 amperes if the short
circuit current on the service is greater.
You do not necessarily need an ISOLATION TRANSFORMER for
operation of the drive. You may want to use one, or you might need to meet
local code requirements. You may need to change the voltage level.
If you use a transformer, you will need one with a KVA rating at least as
large as the HP rating of the drive. If you use a transformer, we recommend a
delta/wye winding configuration. We also recommend that the transformer
have taps to raise or lower voltage.
The user protection supplied before the wires determines the sizes of the
power wires to the drive input. The table on the opposite page lists the full load
AC line currents of Model 1000 series drives.
The order of connection of the input phases is not important.
We size the main fuses to protect the semiconductor elements of the unit.
THEY MAY OR MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF NATIONAL,
STATE AND/OR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. The responsibility for meeting
the branch service protection and other code requirements and safety codes
belongs to the user.
NOTICE: THE AC LINE CURRENT OF THE BRUSHLESS DC DRIVE IS NOT
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OUTPUT LOAD CURRENT TO THE
MOTOR!
The AC input current is directly proportional to the POWER output of the
motor. The only time the AC line current reaches its full value is when the
motor is operating at full speed with full load.

ADDITION TO GROUNDING THE MOTOR FRAME TO ITS MOUNTING, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY
CODE.
The purpose of this separate ground is to equalize the potential between the motor's frame and the drive
chassis. There may be enough impedance to broadcast EMI and RFI even with the motor grounded to its
mounting frame. A direct wire connection between the motor frame and the drive chassis minimizes
interference in other equipment.
The encoder feedback cable must be a shielded cable. Connect the shield to TB1 terminal 1 on the
control end. Standard installation requires a nine-conductor shielded cable (Belden
The colors of this cable correspond to the colors of the wires in the motor and on the connection diagram. You
may interchange the Purple and White wires without ill effect.
The shield must be continuous from the motor to the control. Do NOT ground the shield at intermediate
points. This applies to all junction boxes installed between motor and control.
DO NOT USE THE SHIELD OF THE ENCODER CABLE AS AN ACTIVE CONDUCTOR!
If you want to use the motor thermal protector in a 120 VAC circuit, run it in wiring separate from the
cable. Use seven-conductor shielded cable. In this case, if the cable wire colors are different from the
diagram, you need to check them carefully for proper connections.
Connect the motor lead marked T1 to the
T1 terminal on the drive. Connect the T2 lead
to T2 on the drive, and connect T3 to T3.
Other connections to T1, T2, and T3 at the
motor will vary with the motor. The motor will
not operate correctly if the power wires from
motor to drive are not in the proper order.
Full load motor current determines the
wire size to the motor. The table on the
opposite page lists these currents.
Any high voltage, high frequency
equipment generates EMI and RFI.
YOU
MUST USE METALLIC CONDUIT TO
ENCLOSE MOTOR WIRES BETWEEN THE
MOTOR AND THE DRIVE.
This will minimize
interference.
You must install a ground wire between
the motor frame and the drive chassis. There
is a ground lug in most motors. If there is no
ground lug, make a connection at any bolt in
the motor junction box.

CONTACTOR SPECIFICATIONS
If you want to operate an Output or Dynamic Braking Contactor
directly from the Model 1000 or 1000A, you must choose a coil that
draws less than 50 milliamps DC.
The Output Contactor drawing on page 15 shows the
connections for direct operation of the contactor (use the same
connections for Dynamic Braking). The coil must be 48VDC and
draw less than 50 ma DC (2.4 Watts). This is the most power
available from the Model 1000 series drive’s supplies.
To use a 115VAC or 230 VAC coil, you need a 156-012
Contactor Control board, as shown in the drawing on page 15. Use
the same drawing for the Output Contactor. Maximum current for the
Contactor Control board is 1 Amp at 230 VAC.
You need three normally open power poles and a normally open
auxiliary for an Output Contactor. The contactor does not make or
break with current in the power contacts. Choose the contact ratings
only on the basis of carrying the current.
For Dynamic Braking, you need three normally closed power
poles and a normally open auxiliary. The contacts make with current
present, but they do not break current in the dynamic braking
operation. Choose contacts accordingly.
1.25"
The contactor outline sketched at left is from the SH-04 series by
AEG Industries. The model used for the Output Contactor is part
number SH-04.40 and the Dynamic Braking is SH-04.13. Contact
ratings are 16 Amps.

DYNAMIC BRAKING RESISTORS
We choose DB resistors for their ability to absorb high inrush currents and to accept large amounts of
power for short periods of time. Typical DB resistors can absorb ten times their power rating for up to five
seconds. The resistors must then cool down to ambient temperature before they can dissipate their full rating
again (usually a few minutes). It is possible to extend the ratings by about three times with power resistors by
forced-air cooling.
You can derive an approximate value of dynamic braking resistor from the bus voltage and the full load
current on the nameplate of the motor:
Bus Voltage X 0.47
Each Resistor Value ~ ---------------------------------- Motor FLA
Three resistors (or groups of resistors) are necessary. The power rating of each should be:
Power > 0.02 X (Buss Voltage)
These formulas are very general, and results will vary from motor to motor. For dynamic braking tailored
to your application, consult
