Section 2General InformationMN715J General Information 2-1CE ComplianceA custom unit may be required, contact Baldor. Compliance to Directive89/336/EEC is the responsibility of the system integrator. A control, motor andall system components must have proper shielding grounding and filtering asdescribed in MN1383. Please refer to MN1383 for installation techniques forCE compliance.OverviewThe Baldor Series 15J control is a PWM inverter motor control. The controloperates by converting AC line power into fixed DC power. The DC power isthen pulse width modulated into synthesized three-phase AC line voltage forthe motor. In this way, the control converts the fixed input frequency tovariable output frequency to cause the motor to have variable speedoperation.The rated horsepower of the control is based on a NEMA design B four polemotor and 60Hz operation at nominal rated input voltage. If any other type ofmotor is used, or input voltage other than 230 or 460 VAC is applied to theinput terminals, the control should be sized to the motor using the rated outputcurrent of the control.The Baldor Series 15J control may be used in many different applications. Itcan be programmed to operate in a number of operating modes, PWM ratesand output current levels for custom operation.It is the responsibility of the user to determine the optimum operating mode forthe application. These choices are programmed using the keypad asexplained in the programming section of this manual.Limited WarrantyFor a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase, BALDOR will repair or replacewithout charge controls and accessories which our examination proves to be defective inmaterial or workmanship.
