FEATURES & BENEFITS
2 to 5 Hp
Isolated SCR DC Regen
Minarik’s RG5500U drive is a of full-wave, four
quadrant regenerative drive which provides
smooth motoring and braking torque for SCR
brush-type DC motors. The RG5500U controls
motors from 2 through 5 Hp for single or bi-
directional variable speed.
Applications with overhauling loads, rapid
deceleration, basic positioning, and high duty
cycle reversing and braking benefit from these
versatile regenerative drives.
Slide switches allow the RG5500U to accept
115 or 230 VAC input to run 90 or 180 VDC
motors. If you require better than 1% (armature
mode) or .1% (tachometer mode) speed regula-
tion, then you can use the DLC600 digital con-
troller to get .01% speed regulation of set
speed!
The RG5500U is excellent for leader/follower
applications as well. It accepts almost any exter-
nal signal input (see above).
The RG5500U drive is your answer for a full-
featured regenerative drive requirement!
n Isolated inputs: Accepts floating or grounded signals of -250 to +250 VDC, -25 to +25 VDC, 1-5mA, 4-20mA or 10-
50mA. Burr-Brown isolation has .01% linearity.
n 4Q reversing: Regenerative/4 quadrant drives have the ability to perform quick, contactorless reversing on-the-fly!
n Speed range and regulation: 1% regulation over 50:1 speed range. 0.1% regulation over 60:1 speed range with the
addition of a tachometer. Armature or tachometer mode is switch selectable.
n User adjustable calibration pots: IR compensation, min speed, max speed, forward acceleration, reverse acceleration,
forward torque, reverse torque, deadband, input adjust (for speed reference input) and tachometer.
n Stopping Modes: Coast to a stop (N.O.) or regenerative brake N.O. (use 201-0024 plug with 18” leads), decelerate to
zero speed (N.O.).
n Cage clamp terminal block: Quick and easy wire terminations reduce installation time!
n Additional features: Dual voltage AC input and on-board fusing.
