Single Phase Operation
Single phase operation is not possible for Series 22H Line Regen Vector Controls.
Operating the Control at a Reduced Input Voltage
Series 22H Controls use a DC Bus regulation technique that provides full output voltage (240VAC for 230VAC Controls; or 480VAC for 460VAC controls) for the full input voltage range. However, at reduced input voltages the output current of the control may have to be derated. Table
Table
Input Voltage | % of Output Current after Derating | |||
230VAC Control | 460VAC Control | 240/480VAC Motor | 230/440VAC Motor | 208/400VAC Motor |
180VAC | 340VAC | 77% | 84% | 93% |
190VAC | 360VAC | 82% | 89% | 98% |
208VAC | 400VAC | 90% | 99% | 100% |
230VAC | 440VAC | 100% | 100% | 100% |
240VAC | 480VAC | 100% | 100% | 100% |
For example:
A 460VAC Control that has a 400VAC input line can provide 90% of the rated current to a 480VAC motor. In the Section 6 specifications we find our example 10HP control is
Hardware Changes for Reduced Voltage Input
Size C+, D+,D, E, F and G+ controls all require modification for operation at a reduced line voltage (less than rated nominal). Table
