PowerFlex 70 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive
The PowerFlex 70 drive contains protective MOVs and common mode
capacitors referenced to ground (see below).
See Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for PWM AC Drives, publication
DRIVES-IN001
for information on ungrounded systems.
Table 14 - Recommended Power Jumper Configurations
IMPORTANT
To guard against unstable operation and/or damage, you must configure the
drive as shown in Table 14 on page 30
.
IMPORTANT
All PowerFlex 70 240V, 480V, and 600V AC input drives are shipped with the DC
bus common mode capacitors referenced to ground. Specific drive catalog
numbers are listed below.
Power Source Type
(1)
(1) It is highly recommended to accurately determine the power source type and then configure appropriately.
MOV/Input
Filter Caps
(2)
(2) When MOVs are disconnected, the power system must have its own transient protection to ensure known and controlled voltages.

Unknown Connected Disconnected See solid and non-solid ground
points below
Solid ground
• AC fed, solidly grounded
• DC fed from passive rectifier that
has an AC source and solid
ground
Connected Connected • UL compliance
• Reduced electrical noise
• Most stable operation
• EMC compliance
• Reduced voltage stress on
components and motor
bearings
Non-solid ground
• AC fed ungrounded
• Impedance grounded
• High resistive ground
• B phase ground
• Regenerative unit such as
common DC bus supply and brake
• DC fed from an active converter
Disconnected Disconnected Helps to avoid severe equipment
damage when a ground fault
occurs.
