Ndrive FCL Hardware Manual
2.2.3. External Power Supply Options
The Ndrive FCL requires a bipolar power supply for the motor supply connector TB201. A TM3 can be used
to power up to 4 drives as shown in
. Alternatively, two power supplies can be used as long as their
output is not ground referenced and are specified to be used in either positive or negative polarity (refer to
). The Ndrive FCL controller is capable of sourcing 10 A peak to each motor. This current must be
supplied by the external power supply. Switching power supplies must be rated for the peak current
requirement of the application since they will typically shut down if overloaded.
