1) The same phase sequence is required between 1U1 /1V1 /1W1.
2) The same phase sequence is required between 1C1 / 1D1.
3) The converters are connected by means of an (8-pin) shielded Patch cable of type UTP CAT5
according to ANSI/EIA/TIA 568, such as those used in PC networking.
A standard 5 m cable can be ordered directly from Siemens (order number: 6RY1707-0AA08).
(n-1) cables are needed to connect n converters in parallel.
The bus terminator must be activated (U805=1) on the converter at each end of the bus.
4) These fuses may only be used on converters up to 850A.
5) For converters up to 850A in 4Q operation only
The terminal expansion option (CUD2) is required for each converter in a parallel connection.
A maximum of 6 converters can be connected in parallel.
When several converters are connected in parallel, the master unit should be positioned in the
center to allow for signal transit times. Maximum length of paralleling interface cable between
master and slave converters at each end of bus: 15m.
For the purpose of current distribution, separate commutating reactors of the same type are
required for each SIMOREG converter. Current distribution is determined by the differential reactor
tolerance. A tolerance of 5% or higher is recommended for operation without derating (reduced
current).
Caution:
Parallel connections may only be made between converters with the same DC current rating!
