1.5 Switch Mode Power Supply
The VFD’s logic circuitry is backed up by an independent
1.5.1 Control Transformer
A control transformer is included on larger horsepower units where the contactor coils are AC. The control transformer steps down the line input voltage to 120V AC. The coils of AC contactors are isolated from the Switch Mode Power Supply via relays.
1.6 Disconnects
1.6.1 Main Disconnect
The main disconnect removes line input power to the drive and bypass. A main disconnect is available in four options.
