Refer to Chapter 10Technical data on page 276.7.1.2 DC bus voltage set pointThe table below defines the DC Bus voltage set point levels, assuming atolerance of ±10 % on the given supply voltage. The minimum value isdefined as the peak input voltage plus some headroom. Headroom isrequired by the drive to allow correct control of the current. It is advisableto set the voltage below the maximum value to give more allowance fortransient voltage overshoots.Table 7-1 DC bus voltage set point - Pr 03.005 (Pr 00.001)The DC bus voltage set point, see Pr 03.005 (Pr 00.001), should be setto a level that is suitable for the AC supply voltage being used. It is veryimportant that the Regen drive DC bus voltage set point Pr 03.005(Pr 00.001) is set above the peak AC supply voltage by at least 50 Vac.7.2 Regen drive sequencingWhen a Regen drive is enabled, it goes through a line synchronizationsequence. During this procedure, test pulses are applied to the incomingline to determine the voltage and phase. When it has been successfullysynchronized to the line, the DC bus voltage controller is enabled andthe DC bus voltage rises to the target voltage.Only when all of these stages have been completed successfully is themotoring drive enabled. If at any time there is a fault, or the Regen driveis disabled, the motoring drive will also be disabled.This sequence of events is important to prevent damage to the Regendrive, motoring drive or external power circuit components.The sequence of events is as follows:Power applied and power removed 400 V system(refer to Figure 4-4 on page 42)Figure 7-1 Single Regen: Single Motoring1.
