Shared DC Bus Configuration (Piggyback)
This system features one standalone PowerFlex® 755TL or PowerFlex 755TR drive, as the converter and additional common DC bus drives are used
in a shared DC bus configuration.
Supported Products
At the time of publication, the following products are supported.
Typical System Configuration
This section describes typical configurations for the PowerFlex 755TL/TR drive used as a shared DC bus supply. The shared DC bus configuration
includes one AC drive powering one or more inverters shown in this chapter’s supported products table.
It’s recommended to use a dedicated isolation transformer that only supplies AC power to the PowerFlex 755TL/TR AC drive. If other non-linear
(diode/SCR rectifiers) or active front end (AFE) AC loads are connected to the secondary of the isolation transformer, additional line reactors may be
required. See
AC Power System Resonance Conditions on page 32
for more information.
The PowerFlex 755TL/TR drive can be used with solid grounded, high-resistance grounded, and ungrounded AC power sources. Solid grounded and
resistance grounded power sources are recommended for typical grid powered AC sources to improve electrical safety, ease of ground fault
detection, and to reduce unbalanced voltages.
Ungrounded (floating ground) AC power sources are typically used for shipboard isolated power systems that aren’t earth grounded.
Resistance grounded and ungrounded (floating ground) power sources may require additional user supplied circuits and optional bus conditioners
(-P50 or -P51).
