Overview
PM240 Power Modules – 160 kW to 250 kW
(250 hp to 400 hp), IP20 degree of protection
PM240 Power Modules, frame size FSGX
PM240 Power Modules frame size FSGX optionally have a
braking chopper (four-quadrant applications) and are suitable
for a large number of applications in general machinery con-
struction.
For Power Modules frame size FSGX, an optional plug-in Braking
Module can be ordered
(see section DC link components)
.
The permissible cable lengths between inverter and motor are
limited (for max. permissible cable lengths,
see Integration
).
Longer cables can be used if output reactors are connected
(see section Load-side power components)
.
Line reactors are available to minimize line harmonics as well as
voltage and current peaks
(see section Line-side power
components)
.
The PM240 Power Module is suitable for safety-oriented applica-
tions. In conjunction with a fail-safe Control Unit, the drive can be
transformed into a Safety Integrated Drive
(see section Control
Units)
.
PM240 Power Modules, frame size FSGX (i.e. 160 kW/250 hp
and higher) are approved only for the Basic Safety functions
(STO, SS1, and SBC).
Power Modules without integrated line filter can be connected to
grounded TN/TT systems and non-grounded IT systems.
Note:
Shield plates and shield connection kits are available. These can
be used in the wiring installation for the Control Units and Power
Modules to ensure that it complies with EMC guidelines.
For further information, see Shield connection kits and Shield
plates for Control Units and Power Modules in section
Supplementary system components.
