4.6.3 Internal field fuses
The internal field fuses provide protection to the field controller. The
fuses can rupture if there is a fault in the field circuit. The user should
check the internal field fuses if the drive is tripping field loss (FdL) and
the field controller is enabled.
Figure 4-9 Removing the internal field fuses
Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the groove as shown above and lever
downwards to remove the fuse cover. Refer to section 4.6.1 Ferraz
Shawmut fuses on page 40 for fuse types.
4.7 External suppressor resistor
The Mentor MP range of drives provide internal suppression of the
voltage overshoots created by commutation of the thyristors in the power
stage during the operation of the product. The internal suppression is
suitable for typical applications using recommended line reactors as
defined in section 4.4 Line reactors on page 37. The Mentor MP drives
provide the facility to allow for extra suppression for applications at the
boundaries of the drive's operating area. Applications which may require
an external suppression resistor to be installed have some or all the
following characteristics:
1. Supplies rated ≥10kA with less than the recommend line reactance.
2. High line-to-line voltage
The recommended external suppressor resistor selections are shown in
Table 4-18.
Table 4-18 Recommended external suppressor resistors
The following diagram shows the location of the external suppressor
resistor terminals above the L1 and L2 terminals:
