Important User Information

Solid-State equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. “Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid-State Controls”

(Publication SGI-1.1) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment 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 themselves that each intended application 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 illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, the Rockwell Automation cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.

No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation with respect use of information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.

Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell Automation is prohibited.

Throughout this manual we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations:

!

ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices

or circumstances that can lead to personal injury or

death, property damage or economic loss.

 

 

Attention statements help you to:

identify a hazard

avoid a hazard

recognize the consequences

Safety Precautions

The 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 energy devices. To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, verify that all voltage on capacitors has been discharged before attempting to service, repair, or remove a drive system or its components. You should only attempt the procedures in this manual if you are qualified to do so and are familiar with solid-state control equipment and the safety procedures in ANSI/NFPA 70E.

ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or incorrectly installed drive system can result in component damage and/or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors–such as undersizing the motor, inco rrect or inadequate AC supply, and excessive ambient temperatures–can result in the malfunction of hte drive equipment.

ATTENTION: This drive system contains parts and assemblies that are sensitive to ESD (electrostatic discharge). Static control precautions are required when installing, testing, or repairing this assembly. Component damage can result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures, refer to Rockwell Automation publication 8000-4.5.2, Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, or another adequate handbook on ESD protection.

Product Overview

1-9

The power stage interface board provides the following services between the main control board and other boards in the system:

furnishes DC control power to the main control board (from the unit power supply)

provides 3-phase line synchronization signals to the main control board

accepts signals from the main control board and produces the logic and drivers for armature and field-pulse transformers

accepts signals for start/stop logic, protection I/O, and drivers for operating the main DC contactor

Unit Power Supply Board

The unit power supply board converts 115V AC input into regulated +5V DC and ±12V DC control voltages. These control voltages are routed through the power stage interface board to provide power to all the printed circuit boards.

Note: Jumper settings are defined in the installation chapter of this manual.

24V DC Power Supply

There are three 24V DC power supply units that may be installed in the drive. There is a feedback board supply, an optional air flow sensor supply, and an optional control board supply (used to power an optional adapter board). These supply units are fed from the 115V AC control power circuit.

Product Overview

Power Components

This 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 are 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 increase 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 equipment on the power lines. However, if it shares power with other equipment on the same power lines, it will be necessary to use either line reactors or an isolation transformer ahead of the drive.

The system designer needs to provide proper circuit impedence to limit the short circuit currents according to the breaker derating charts given in Appendix A.

Some drives may require an output inductor in series 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 diagrams 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 Overview

1-13

Control and Field Power

The first (L1) and third (L3) phase of the incoming power are tapped off and fused to provide single-phase AC power to the primary of control power transformer (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 Figure 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 voltage source to the primary of the distribution transformer is switched. The option is offered for a distribution transformer primary voltage of 2300V or greater.

Armature Power Components

The armature power components work together to convert the 3- phase 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 boards

DC contactor

Armature Bridge

The armature bridge is designed 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.

Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)

Each drive uses silicon-controlled 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 through 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.

Product Overview

Snubbers

Snubbers (resistor/capacitor assemblies) are installed in parallel with the SCRs, working with the cell reactors to provide adequate voltage suppression when the SCRs switch off.

Armature-Pulse Transformer Boards

Armature-pulse transformer boards provide the appropriate gate voltage and current to trigger an SCR. In addition, these boards provide gate driver isolation from the control logic. Figure 1.11 shows an armature-pulse transformer board.

DC Contactor

The main DC contactor is used to break the DC current to the motor armature. Coil voltage to the contactor is controlled by contacts from the pilot relay.
