The Bonitron M3345CBM is designed to offer system integrators a low cost solution for providing either line regeneration or dynamic braking for multiple drives.
Traditionally, integrators have provided a common DC bus for the drives and regenerated energy. This required the drives to be connected to a common bus power supply. The M3345CBM provides blocking diodes that isolate the drives from each other while still establishing a shared common DC bus which eliminates the problems encountered with older approaches.
Two applications ideal for regen sharing:
- Several drives, each producing a small amount of regenerated energy and sharing a line regen module large enough to handle the sum total amount of regenerated energy.
- Multiple drive applications which have regeneration occurring on only one drive at a time.
Applications involving more than 200 Amps of regen should be reviewed with Bonitron engineering.
