Ch.3 44
Disposal of the Device
The AVy Drive can be disposed as electronic scraps in accordance with the currently valid national regula-
tions for the disposal of electronic parts.
The plastic covering of the Drives (up to size 3150) are recyclable: the material used is >ABS+PC< .
3.3.2. AC Input/Output Connection
The AVy Drive must be connected to an AC mains supply capable of delivering a symmetrical short circuit
current (at 480V +10% Vmax) lower or equal to the values indicated on following table. For the use of an
AC input choke see chapter 5.7.1.
No external connection of the regulator power supply to the existing AC Input supply is required since the
power supply is taken from the DC Link circuit. When commissioning, set the Mains voltage parameter to
the value of the AC Input voltage concerned. This automatically sets the threshold for the Undervoltage
alarm at the appropriate level.
NOTE! In some cases AC Input chokes, and possibly noise suppression filters should be fitted
on the AC Input side of the device. See chapter “Chokes/Filters”.
Adjustable Frequency Drives and AC Input filters have ground discharge currents greater then 3.5 mA. EN
50178 specifies that with discharge currents greater than 3.5 mA the protective conductor ground connection
(PE1) must be fixed type.
AVy...-DC versions
In this version, the drive must be powered by a rectified DC supply of 600 Vdc.
The use of Gefran SM32 series power supplies is recommended for this, available with an output current
from 185 to 2000A.
From size AVy4185, insertion of an AC mains inductance on the power supply input of the power supply
unit is compulsory (for the type of inductance, consult the manual of the power supply unit), see figure
5.5.1.2.
