Supply networks

The AX8820 distributed servo drive system is suitable for operation three-phase networks. The respective network configurations differ by the type of ground connection. For a better understanding, the table below contains examples with the associated meaning:

Network configuration

French term

Meaning

TN

Terre Neutre

Neutral grounding of a point

TT

Terre Terre

Direct grounding of a point

TN-C

Terre Neutre Combiné

Combined neutral grounding:

Neutral conductor and protective conductor combined to form PEN conductor

TN-S

Terre Neutre Combiné Séparé

Separate neutral grounding:

Separate neutral conductor and protective conductor

IT

Isolé Terre

Isolation of all active parts from ground

 

Connection to TN or TT networks is possible without further measures.

For all other networks, operation is only possible on isolating transformers. An isolating transformer is a mains transformer that transfers the mains voltage to the secondary winding via an electrical isolation. A star point grounded network is made available with the help of this protective isolation.

 

The AX8820 universal regenerative unit is equipped with a wide-range voltage input and can be connected to the following voltage systems:

Notice

Damage due to disconnected isolating transformer

The following networks require an isolating transformer to be connected upstream. Failure to do so may damage the universal regenerative unit.

  • Connection only with upstream isolating transformer
  • The converter and the universal regenerative unit must be connected to the isolating transformer. The converter must also be connected to the universal regenerative unit
