Chapter 3 - Installation for MV-5 and MV-10 Controllers
24 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
3.4 Connecting AC Power (MV-5 and MV-10)
The Adept MV-5 and MV-10 controllers have auto-ranging power supplies that operate at
either 100-120 VAC or 200-240 VAC single phase.
AC Power Requirements
If the Adept MV Controller is used with an Adept robot, see the robot user’s guide or
instruction handbook for additional power requirements.
Facility Overvoltage Protection
The user must protect the controller from excessive overvoltages and voltage spikes. In
particular, if the country of installation requires a CE-certified installation, or compliance
with IEC 1131-2, the following information may be helpful.
IEC 1131-2 requires that the installation must ensure that category II overvoltages (i.e.,
line-spikes not directly due to lightening strikes) are not exceeded. Transient overvoltages
at the point of connection to the power source shall be controlled not to exceed
overvoltage category II, i.e. not higher than the impulse voltage corresponding to the
rated voltage for the basic insulation. The user-supplied equipment or transient
suppressor shall be capable of absorbing the energy in the transient.
In the industrial environment, non-periodic overvoltage peaks may appear on mains
power supply lines as a result of power interruptions to high energy equipment (such as a
blown fuse on one branch in a 3-phase system). This will cause high current pulses at
relatively low voltage levels. The user shall take the necessary steps to prevent damage to
the controller system (such as by interposing a transformer). See IEC 1131-4 for additional
information.
a
The maximum interruption time (operating voltage below specification) tolerated by the
controller is 16 milliseconds.
