Line Side Solutions Overview

Common Bus Power Supply Solutions

M3712 Single Phase AC Power Supply

- 30 to 125hp Drives -

The M3712 is a low cost solution for powering 3-phase AC variable frequency drives (VFDs) from a single phase source. When used in conjunction with a VFD, Bonitron M3712 Single Phase Power Supplies have the same great advantages of a 3-phase control without oversizing either the VFD or motor. The M3712 protects your drive from the high ripple currents caused by single phase operation, allows your drive to run cooler, and extends the life of your drive!

M3713DM 3-Phase DC Bus Supply Bridge

- 12 or 18 Pulse Solution -
- VFD or Servo Drives -

The M3713DM, DC Bus Supply is a six pulse diode bridge that can serve as the main power supply for your common bus DC systems. Multiple M3713DM’s can be used in parallel to allow higher output for high power applications for redundancy and process reliability. No precharge.

M3713SC 3-Phase DC Bus Supply with Pre-charge

- 12 or 18 Pulse Solution -
- VFD or Servo Drives -

The M3713 is a non-regenerative 3-phase power supply for use as the main power supply for a common DC bus drive system. The drives can be either servo or variable frequency drives intended for use in common bus systems. The M3713 has a selectable start-up current limit which is rated at approximately 20% of the full load rating for pre-charging the VFD bus. The M3713SC includes precharge.

M3612RC Common Bus Snubber

- Limit Spikes-

The M3612RC Common Bus Snubber is a high frequency filter that limits spikes and ringing in DC bus systems caused by inverter switching, supply noise, bus reactance, and other sources. Limiting these spikes protects attached drives and power supplies, preventing premature failure.

Filtering Solutions

M3460V Transient Voltage Suppressor

- Protect your drives -

The M3460V is an array of high capacity MOV’s for use in integrated drive systems. The M3460V adds a level of protection to three phase systems from line to line transients caused by contact switching, grid transfers, power factor capacitor switching and line faults, extending the life of your system components and reducing your maintenance costs.

M3484 Industrial Line Filter

- Protection in harsh electrical environments -

Drives and other valuable equipment can be damaged by line notching from DC drives, capacitor switching transients, slip ring or shoe supply contacts, as well as high order harmonics, making the equipment fail prematurely. The M3484 Line Filter has a tuned filter to protect your installations more effectively than reactors or chokes and a parallel snubbing filter to protect from spikes and notches.
