Chapter 2 Regenerative Bus Supply Configuration
9. Verify that the PowerFlex 755TM regenerative bus supply is capable of precharging the external DC bus capacitance.
• The PowerFlex 750-Series internal DC bus capacitance data is taken from Table 14 on page 73
.
• The PowerFlex 755TM common bus inverter internal DC bus capacitance data is taken from Table 15 on page 75
.
• The PowerFlex 755TM regenerative bus supply internal and maximum external capacitance data is taken from Table 16 on page 76
.
The total external capacitance (19900 µF) is less the PowerFlex 755TM regenerative bus supply maximum external capacitance (31033 µF).
The chosen PowerFlex 755TM regenerative bus supply is capable of precharging the connected DC bus capacitance.
10. Verify that the DC bus cable/bus bars are adequately sized for the total rated DC bus current.
The approximate total rated DC bus current is calculated by dividing the total AC output current from step 8 (629 A RMS) by 0.9. Minimum DC
bus bar rating = 629 A RMS / 0.9 = 699 A DC
The standard PowerFlex 755TM DC bus bar is capable of 3000 A DC. All DC bus bars in the common DC bus lineup must have the same amp
rating. See PowerFlex 755TM System DC Bus Ratings on page 99
for more information about the DC bus bar ratings and options.
The chosen PowerFlex 755TM regenerative bus supply is an acceptable solution for this common DC bus application example. Verify that the system
AC and DC bus bars and cables are sized to support the expected current.
