Important User InformationSolid-State equipment has operational characteristics differing from
those of electromechanical equipment. “Safety Guidelines for the
Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid-State Cont rols”
(Publication SGI-1.1) describes some important differences between
solid-state equi pment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of
uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying
this equipment must satisfy th emse lves that e ach inte nded appl ication
of this equipment is acceptable .
In no event will Rockwell Automation be responsible or liable for
indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use of
application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for
illustrati ve purpose s. Bec ause of th e many var iable s and requi rements
associated with any partic ular installation, the Rockwell Automation
cannot assume responsibility or liability for actua l use based on the
examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation with respect
use of information, circu its, equipment, or software described in this
manual.

Who Should Use This ManualThis manual is intende d for those who are re sponsible for instal ling or
operating a Rockwell Automation high-horsepower 1395 drive.
If you do not have a basic understanding of this unit, please refer to
the drive documentation, or contact your local Rockwell Automation
Drive Systems representative for more information before using this
product.

Safety PrecautionsThe following general precautions apply to Bulletin 2361 drive
system lineups:
ATTENTION: Only those familiar with the drive
system, the products used in the system, and the
!
associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, startup, and future maintenance of the
system. Failure to comply can result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Verify that all sources of AC and DC
power are deenergized and locked out or tagged out in
accordance with the requirements of ANSI/NFPA 70E,
Part II.
ATTENTION: The system may contain stored ener gy
devices. To avoid the hazard of electric al shock, ve rify
that all voltage on capacitors has b een discharge d before
attempting to service, repair, or remove a drive system
or its components. You shou ld only at tempt the
procedures in this manual if you are qualified to do so
and are familiar with solid-state control equipment a nd
the safety procedures in ANSI/NFPA 70E.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied o r incorrectly
installed drive sys tem can result in component damage
and/or a reduction in product life . Wiring or applicati on
errors–such as undersizing the motor, incorrect or
inadequate AC supply, and excessive ambient
temperatures–can r esult in the malfunction of hte drive
equipment.
A TTENTION: This dr ive system contains parts and
assemblies that are sensitive to ESD (electrostatic
discharge). Sta tic control precautions are requir ed when
installing, testing, or repairing this assembly.
Component damage can r esult if ESD cont rol procedures
are not followed. If you are not familiar with static
control procedures, refe r to Rockwell Automation
publication 8000-4. 5.2, Guar ding Agains t Electrost atic Damage, or another adequate handbook on ESD
protection.

Product Overview1-9
The power stage interface boa rd provide s the following services
between the main control board and othe r boar ds in the system:
•furnishes DC control power to the main cont ro l board (from the
unit power supply)
•provides 3-phas e li ne synchronization signals to the main c ontrol
board
•accepts signals from the main cont r ol board and produces the
logic and drivers for armature and f ield-pulse transformers
•accepts signals f or start/stop logic, protection I/O, and drivers for
operating the main DC contactor
Unit Power Supply Board
The unit power supply board convert s 115V AC input into regulated
+5V DC and ±12V DC control voltages. These control vol tages are
routed through the power stage interfa ce board to provide power to all
the printed circuit boards.

1-12Product Overview
Power ComponentsThis section will break down and define the incoming power,
armature power, and field supply components.
Incoming Power Components
Incoming Devices
The 1250 and 1650A DC drives a re intended to be used straight from
the customer- supplied, power controlled incoming lines, without any
additional isolation transformer or line chokes (however, adding
either of these would increa se isolation to other equipment on the
power lines).
The 3000A DC drive does not require an isolation transformer or line
reactors if it is the only eq uipment on the power lines. However, if it
shares power with ot her equipm ent on th e same power lines, it will be
necessary to use eithe r line reactors or an isolation transformer ahead
of the drive.
The system designer needs to provide proper circuit impedence to
limit the sho rt circui t c urrents according t o the break er derat ing cha rts
given in Appendix A.
Some drives may require an output inductor in serie s with the
armature, especially for older machines which do not have enough
internal inductance for a proper armature commutation process.
AC Input Busbars
Tin plated busbars are supplied for all input connections through the
top of the disconnect bay. Busbar dimension dia grams are given in
Appendix A.
Main Disconnect (Optional)
A 3-phase circuit breaker can be supplied on the incoming line for
each high-horsepower drive. Appendix A lists circuit breaker
specifications, and shows diagrams of the circuit breakers settings for
the 1250, 1650, and 3000A DC drives.
AC Line Fuses (Optional)
AC line fuses can be supplied for the 3-phase incoming power.
Note: Units require either a main disconnect or AC line fuses.
Publication 2361-5.01 July 1998
Product Overview1-13
Control and Field Power
The first (L1) an d thir d (L3 ) pha s e of the inco m ing p ow er are t app ed
off and fused to provide single-phase AC power to the primary of
control power t ransformer (115V AC), field supply circuit (460V AC
maximum), and 24V DC power supply.
Note: For drives using a 575 or 660V AC input, a step-down
transformer will be required for the field supply circuit (see
Figur e 1. 12).
AC Line RC Suppressor (Optional)
The optional AC line RC suppressor is a device used for limiting line
voltage spikes in drives when the medium volta ge source to the
primary of the distribution transformer is switched. The option is
offered for a dist ri bution transformer primary voltage of 2300V or
greater.
Publication 2361-5.01 July 1998
1-14Product Overview
Armature Power Components
The armature power components work together to convert the 3phase AC input to a DC output used for powering your motor
armature.
The following items make up the armature power circuitry:
•armature bridge (and its subordinate components)
•cell fuses
•gate board s
•DC contactor
Armature Bridge
The armature bridge is design ed to convert incoming AC power to
DC power. The non-regenerative bridge is shown in Figure 1.9. Cell
fuses protect the thyristors in the event of a bridge failure.

The 3000A unit uses solid core (ferrite)
chokes on the AC line.
Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)
Each drive uses silicon-c ontrolled rectifiers (SCRs) in the thyristor
bridge to switch the incoming 3-phase AC power to DC output
power.
These SCRs allow current to flow from anode to cathode when two
conditions are met. First, like a diode, it must be forward biased.
Second, an appropriate pulse must be applied to the gate (through the
pulse transformer board).
The current will continue thr ough the SCR until the voltage across it
reverses and the current drops to zero (called line commutation).
Figure 1.11 shows a picture of an SCR, depicting its polarity.

Snubbers
Snubbers (resistor/capacitor assemblies) are installed in para llel with

Armatur e-Pulse Transformer Boards
Armature-pulse transformer boards provide the appropriate gate
voltage and current to trigger an SC R. In addition, these boards
provide gate driver isolation from the control logic. Figure 1.11
shows an armature-pulse tr ans former board.
DC Contactor
The main DC contactor is used to break the DC current to the motor
armature. Coil voltage to the con tacto r is controll ed by contacts from
the pilot relay.
