General Precautions
ATTENTION: This Bus Supply contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required
when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component
damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are
not familiar with static control procedures, see Allen-Bradley publication
8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other
applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed Bus Supply can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application
errors, such as incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency
AC drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure
to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Connect products with or without precharge circuitry to the
SCR Bus Supply common bus output terminals within the minimum and
maximum capacitance and load rating guidelines.
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on
the DC bus terminals (which are connected to the DC bus capacitors of the
Inverter) has discharged before performing any work on the Bus Supply.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC and -DC output terminals. The
voltage must be zero.
ATTENTION: A second source of power for the cooling blower is present.
To avoid an electric shock hazard or moving blades, verify that the AC
power supply has been removed prior to performing any maintenance or
repairs.
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.) and local
codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment.
Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire types,
conductor sizes, branch circuit protection, and disconnect devices.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

 Chapter 1
Installation/Wiring
This chapter provides information on the installation and wiring of the PowerFlex® SCR Bus
Supply.

Most start-up difficulties are the result of incorrect wiring. Every precaution must be taken to
assure that the wiring is done as instructed. All items must be read and understood before the
actual installation begins.

ATTENTION: The following information is merely a guide for proper

installation. Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility for
the compliance or the noncompliance to any code, national, local or
otherwise for the proper installation of this product or associated
equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if
codes are ignored during installation.

Opening the Cover 1. Remove the four fastening screws. (The steel sheet cover will stay in place, even in the
vertical position.)
2. Hold the cover with both hands at the bottom, and lift it upward about 2 cm (0.8 in.) and
away from the enclosure (Figure 5).
Figure 5 - Opening the Cover

Minimum Mounting The cabinet air inlet and outlet areas for each SCR Bus Supply must be a minimum of 200 cm2
Clearances (31 in.2). The length-to-width ratio must not exceed 4:1.

Ambient Operating Temperatures

The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply is designed to operate at 0…40 °C (32…104 °F) ambient without
derating. For operation in ambients above
40 °C up to 50 °C (104 °F up to 122 °F), the PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply output Amps must be
derated by 1.2% per 1 °C for 400 A unit, and by 1.0% per 1 °C for 600 A and 1000 A units.

Ensure that proper cooling is provided to the SCR Bus Supply to maintain the 40 °C rated
specification. If the ambient temperature is exceeded, apply the proper derate factors. Add
exhaust fans to the front or top of the enclosure bay and provide a filtered opening at the
bottom of the cabinet bay.

The SCR Bus Supply watt losses (from specification section) are 1200 W at 400 A, 1600 W at 600
A, 2700 W at 480V 1000 A, and 2800 W at 690V 1000 A. The three-phase AC line reactor watt
losses are listed in the 1321 Power Conditioning Products Technical Data, publication 1321-
TD001.

Because of the internal design of the SCR Bus Supply, it is NOT recommended to rely on an air
dam surrounding the SCR Bus Supply.

It is recommended that the system integrator completes a thermal evaluation to ensure

adequate cooling to maintain proper operating conditions for each cabinet or bay. A minimum
air exchange of 725 CFM per SCR Bus Supply is recommended.

AC Supply Source The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering a short
circuit rating up to a maximum of 85,000 rms symmetrical amperes.
Considerations
If a Residual Current Detector (RCD) is used as a system ground fault monitor, only Type B
(adjustable) devices should be used to avoid nuisance tripping.

Line Reactors
A minimum 3% rated three-phase AC line reactor must be installed for minimum voltage drop
unless the closest supply transformer is matched to the kVA rating of the PowerFlex SCR Bus
Supply. For recommended line reactors, see Line Reactors on page A-7.

14 Rockwell Automation Publication 20S-UM001I-EN-P - February 2024

 Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

Install one three-phase AC line reactor for each SCR Bus Supply module. It is recommended to
maintain cable length symmetry between the three-phase AC line reactors and the SCR Bus
Supply connections. One method is to mount the three-phase AC line reactors on the cabinet
floor under the SCR Bus Supply.

IMPORTANT It is recommended to keep all wired or bus bar connections identical in

size and length. This includes the AC line connection to the three-phase
AC line reactors and from the three-phase AC line reactors to the SCR
Bus Supply.

Unbalanced or Non-Solid Grounded Distribution Systems

Where the potential exists for abnormally high phase-to-ground voltages (in excess of 125% of
nominal), or the supply system is non-solid grounded, see the Wiring and Grounding Guidelines
for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001.

ATTENTION: The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply contains protective MOVs that
are referenced to ground. The MOVs should be disconnected from ground
if the SCR Bus Supply is installed on any non-solid grounded power
distribution system (IT-network). For jumper location, see Figure 11 on
page 21.

General Grounding The Safety Ground terminal (PE) must be connected to the building grounding scheme.
Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local industrial safety
Requirements regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground connections should be
periodically checked.

For installations within a cabinet, a single safety ground point or ground bus bar connected
directly to building steel should be used. All circuits including the AC input ground conductor
should be grounded independently and directly to this point/bar.

S (L2) Bus Supply
T (L3)

+DC

PE - DC

Ground Grid, Girder or Ground Rod

(Building Ground Potential)

Safety Ground Terminal - PE

The Bus Supply safety ground (PE) must be connected to the customer grounding scheme or
earth ground. This is the safety ground for the Bus Supply that is required by code. This point
must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod, bus bar or
building ground grid. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety
regulations and/or electrical codes.

RFI Filter Grounding

Using an external RFI filter may result in relatively high ground leakage currents. Therefore,
the filter must only be used in installations with grounded AC supply systems and be
permanently installed and solidly grounded (bonded) to the building power distribution
Rockwell Automation Publication 20S-UM001I-EN-P - February 2024 15
Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

ground. Ensure that the incoming supply neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the same
building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on flexible cables and should not
include any form of plug or socket that would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local
codes may require redundant ground connections. The integrity of all connections should be
periodically checked. See the instructions supplied with the filter.

Minimum Capacitance In order to commission and test the SCR Bus Supply, a minimum capacitance is required. The
design of the final installation must assure that the minimum capacitance is connected
whenever the bus supply is to be enabled. If this minimum capacitance is not present, the bus
supply internal fault detection circuit will interpret the condition as a DC bus short and stop
pulse firing. The minimum capacitance (110 µF per SCR bus supply) may be provided by an
external capacitor bank (recommended) or a drive (as long as the drive remains connected to
the DC bus).

NOTE: A capacitance of 110 µF is typical of a 5 Hp or 3.7 kW drive. To find DC bus capacitances

for specific PowerFlex drives, see Appendix A tables in the PowerFlex AC Drives in Common
Bus Configurations Application Guidelines, publication DRIVES-AT002.

Maximum Loading To avoid overloading the Bus Supply, the following requirement applies:
The DC Input current sum (Normal Duty rating at 40 °C/104 °F) of the connected drive(s)
must not exceed the Bus Supply continuous DC Bus output current rating.

For the DC Input Current values of the drives, see tables in the respective drive documentation.

Table 1 and Table 2 provide guidance on the nominal operation of the SCR Bus Supply. No
overload capability is built into the tables.

IMPORTANT See Output Ratings in Appendix A for overload capability.

When an overload is being utilized in connected drives or products, that overload current must
be accounted for in the calculation to properly size the SCR Bus Supply.

equipped with fuse trip indicator switches. For a list of recommended replacement fuses, see
these pages.

Power Wiring
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.) and local
codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment.
Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire types,
conductor sizes, and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage.

To maintain balanced impedance, and thus balance current in the SCR Bus Supply, it is
recommended to keep all wired or bus bar connections identical in size and length. This
includes the AC line connection to three-phase AC line reactors and from the three-phase AC
line reactors to the SCR Bus Supply.

EMC Compliance
See CE Conformity on page 26 for details.

Cable Trays and Conduit

If cable trays or large conduits are to be used, see guidelines in the Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives, publication DRIVES-IN001.

ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by induced

voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded at both ends. For
the same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or installed,
all drives using this conduit should be disabled. This will help minimize the
possible shock hazard from “cross coupled” motor leads.

DC Bus Wiring Guidelines

For DC Bus wiring guidelines, see AC Drives in Common Bus Configurations, publication
DRIVES-AT002.

• Use Copper wire only. Wire gauge requirements and recommendations are based on 75
°C (168 °F). Do not reduce wire gauge when using higher temperature wire.
• Wire with an insulation rating of 600V or greater is recommended.
• Control wires outside the cabinet should be separated from power wires by at least 0.3
meters (1 foot).

Drive Run Interlock

To protect the Bus Supply from overtemperature, the normally closed contacts (Bus Supply

the Bus Supply or the Run interlock circuit (enable input) of each connected drive. This
ensures that the drives are stopped in case of Bus Supply Overtemperature.

Jumper Settings The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply precharge board has three jumpers. See Figure 13 for jumper
locations and positions.
• LINE TYPE Jumper: Always set to the “3-ph” default right-side position (towards the
board edge).
• SPARE 1 Jumper: For board firmware version 1.21 (or earlier), this jumper is non-
functional. For firmware version 1.22 (or later), the SCR Bus Supply is shipped with this
jumper in the right (default) inactive state position. When the jumper is placed in the
left (RGU/AFE) or active position, the firmware is active for SCR and RGU/AFE parallel
operation on common bus systems, where the SCR is in parallel with an active front end
that is used only as a regenerative brake unit. The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply will then
deliver the required motoring power and the RGU/AFE will provide the possibility to feed
the regenerative energy back to the AC power line. The auto-voltage limitation (allowing
the SCRs to phase back) associated with high AC line will be disabled. The left (RGU/AFE)
jumper position provides the best protection for parellel SCR and RGU/AFE operation.
• SPARE 2 Jumper: For board firmware version 1.21 (or earlier), this jumper is non-
functional. For firmware version 1.22 (or later), this jumper is used for slow ramp-up,
which slows the DC bus voltage charge up time (from 0.2 to 1.3 seconds). Slow ramp-up
should be used when the connected DC bus capacitance is greater than the values
shown in the following table.
To operate the SCR Bus Supply with a slow ramp-up, set the SPARE 2 jumper to the left
(SLOW) position.

For standard applications where only the PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply provides the required
common DC power, make sure the SPARE 1 and SPARE 2 jumpers are in their default settings
(right side—towards the board edge) shown in Figure 13.

To identify the firmware version, remove the SCR Bus Supply cover and check
the firmware version label on the Precharge Board (Figure 13).

Disconnecting MOVs The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply contains protective MOVs that are referenced to ground. To
prevent damage, the MOVs should be disconnected from ground if the Bus Supply is
installed on any non-solid grounded distribution system where the line-to-ground voltages
on any phase could exceed 125% of the nominal line-to-line voltage. To disconnect the MOVs
from ground, remove the jumper (12-GND) on the control terminal block shown in Figure 11.
Solid and non-solid grounded systems are defined in Table 7.

(1) It is highly recommended to accurately determine the power source type and then configure appropriately.
(2) When MOVs are disconnected, the power system must have its own transient protection to ensure known and
controlled voltages.

ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on

the bus capacitors has discharged before removing the jumper. Measure
the DC bus voltage at the +DC and –DC output terminals. The voltage must
be zero.

Converting Master Unit to Standalone Unit

No changes are required to run a master (without slave units) as a standalone SCR Bus Supply.

Converting Master Unit to Slave Unit

It is possible to reconfigure a master SCR Bus Supply to run as a slave SCR Bus Supply. To
convert a master unit to a slave, perform these steps.
1. Remove the cables between the precharge board connectors (X2 and X3) and the gate
driver printed circuit board connector X4 (see
Figure 3 on page 11).
2. Connect a cable from the gate driver printed circuit board connector (X4) to the new
master SCR Bus Supply or another slave SCR Bus Supply gate connector (X6, see
Figure 4 on page 12). Note that the precharge board does not need to be removed from
the converted SCR Bus Supply.
3. Ensure that the precharge relay is not energized (terminal block…terminal 1 and 2, see
Control Wiring on page 20).
4. Place a label near the data nameplate stating that the SCR bus supply has been
converted to catalog # 20Sx1K0NES, where x is the voltage class of the unit.

1000 A SCR Bus Supply It is not recommended to install parallel master SCR Bus Supplies. The reason is that there is
nothing to synchronize the SCR gate firing between the precharge printed circuit boards in
Redundancy separate SCR Bus Supplies. Each precharge board has circuitry designed to energize the DC
bus, which has little to no impedance to limit the inrush current. This DC bus charging
synchronization could lead to power device failure.

If redundancy of the SCR Bus Supply master is required by the application, there are two
options.
• A microcontroller or other electronically or manually-controlled switch or contact
network can be used to reconfigure the wire harnesses between the redundant master
SCR Bus Supplies. Basically, one SCR Bus Supply becomes the master and the other
becomes the slave by the logic selection of the controlling or steering network. One
example of numerous possible configurations is shown in Figure 15.

• Although not recommended, synchronization differences might be minimized by using

the slower ramp time available in precharge printed circuit boards with firmware
version 1.22 (or later). The standard ramp time is for the rise of DC bus to phase full on
in approximately 0.2 seconds, while the slower ramp time will take approximately 1.3
seconds. This will help to limit the inrush current in the system.

Automation Technical Support.

CE Conformity Conformity with the Low Voltage (LV) Directive and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Directive has been demonstrated using harmonized European Norm (EN) standards published
in the Official Journal of the European Communities. The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply complies
with the EN standards listed below when installed according to the User Manual.

CE Declarations of Conformity are available online at: rok.auto/certifications

 Chapter 1 Installation/Wiring

Harmonic Emissions
Electronic converters such as the Bus Supply can cause conducted low frequency
disturbances (harmonic emissions) to the supply network. The mandatory three-phase AC line
reactors will substantially reduce harmonic currents produced by the Bus Supply. However, the
magnitude of the harmonic currents and resulting harmonic voltages depends upon the
network impedance at the point where the unit is connected to the network. Currently there
are no mandatory harmonic emission limits related to CE compliance for equipment
connected to private power networks. Upon request, Rockwell Automation can provide
information regarding harmonic emissions from the SCR Bus Supply.

General Notes
• The DC bus cable to the inverter(s) should be kept as short as possible to avoid
electromagnetic emission and capacitive currents. Therefore the inverter(s) should be
located in the same cabinet as the Bus Supply or next to the cabinet with the Bus
Supply. If the connection leads between DC bus and inverter(s) are leaving the cabinet,
shielded cables must be used.
• Use of line filters in non-solid grounded systems is not recommended.
• The PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply with external Line Reactor and HF filter satisfies CE EMC
emission limits for the industrial environment. If used in a residential or domestic
environment it may cause radio interference. The user is required to take measures to
prevent interference, in addition to the essential requirements for CE compliance listed
below, if necessary.
• Conformity of the drive with CE EMC requirements does not guarantee an entire
machine installation complies with CE EMC requirements. Many factors can influence
total machine/installation compliance.

Essential Requirements for CE Compliance

Conditions 1…5 listed below must be satisfied for the PowerFlex SCR Bus Supply to meet the
requirements of EN61800-3.
1. Bus Supply and inverter must be PowerFlex type and CE compatible.
2. Externally mounted Line Reactor and HF filter (specified in Appendix A) must be
connected to the line input as shown in Figure 12.
3. Review important precaution/attention statements throughout this document before
installing the drive(s).
4. Grounding as described in General Grounding Requirements on page 15.
5. Control wiring and DC bus wiring leaving the cabinet must be braided, shielded cable
with a coverage of 75% or better, metal conduit or equivalent attenuation.

For additional conditions, see the respective drive manual listed in Additional Resources on
page 6.

Startup/Troubleshooting
This chapter provides the necessary information for the start up and troubleshooting of the
PowerFlex® SCR Bus Supply.

ATTENTION: Power must be applied to the SCR Bus Supply and the
Inverter to perform the following start-up procedure. Some of the
voltages present are at incoming line potential. To avoid electric shock
hazard or damage to equipment, only qualified service personnel should
perform the following procedure. Thoroughly read and understand the
procedure before beginning. If an event does not occur while performing
this procedure, do not proceed. Remove power including user-supplied
control voltages. User-supplied voltages may exist even when main AC
power is not applied to the Bus Supply. Correct the malfunction before
continuing.
ATTENTION: When operating the SCR Bus Supply, a minimum of one 7.5
kW (10 Hp) PowerFlex 700/700S Inverter must be connected to the DC
bus—otherwise the internal fault detection circuit will interpret the
condition as an Output Voltage Loss and stop pulse firing. This is indicated
on the Precharge Board by the Alarm LED (7 flashes) and after 30 seconds
by the Fault LED (2 flashes). See Table 9 and Table 10.
ATTENTION: Second source of power for cooling blower is present. To
avoid an electric shock hazard or moving blades, verify the AC power
supply has been removed prior to performing any maintenance or repairs.

Start-Up Before Applying Power to the Bus Supply

❏ 1. Verify that the minimum of one Inverter is connected to the DC bus.
❏ 2. Confirm that all inputs are connected to the correct terminals and are properly torqued.
❏ 3. Using an ohmmeter or other continuity testing device, verify that shorts do not exist
between Source 1 and Source 2:

Chapter 2 Startup/Troubleshooting

❏ 4. Verify that AC line power at the disconnect device is within the rated value of the Bus
Supply. See Appendix A.
❏ 5. Verify that control power voltage is correct.
❏ 6. Verify that the enable contactor coil K1 (not used on Slave units) is correctly wired.
❏ 7. Verify that these four outputs are correctly wired:
- Bus Supply Overtemperature
- Rectifier Fuse Trip
- Snubber/DC feedback Fuse Trip
- Enable Contactor Feedback (not used on Slave units)
These normally closed contact outputs are used to set alarms and to stop the drive(s).
Verify that they have been wired correctly according to the user’s specification. See the
control wiring example shown in Figure 12 on page 22.
❏ 8. Verify that the “Line Type” jumper on the Precharge Board shown in Figure 17 is set to
the “3-ph” position (default).
❏ 9. Verify that the SPARE 1 and SPARE 2 jumpers on the Precharge Board shown in Figure 17
are set to appropriate positions for the application. (See Jumper Settings on page 22
and Figure 13 on page 23 for more information).
❏ 10. Verify that the jumper between control terminals 12 and GND (Figure 11 on page 21) is
present on grounded supply lines (default) or is removed on non-solid grounded supply
lines. (See Disconnecting MOVs on page 23 for more information).

Applying AC Power to the Bus Supply

❏ 1. Apply AC power and control voltage (115V AC) to the Bus Supply.
The green POWER OK LED on the Precharge Board should be on if power is applied to
terminals L1 (R), L2 (S), L3 (T) and the enable contactor for the precharge board (not
used on Slave units) is energized.
❏ 2. If the green POWER OK LED is off at this point, seeTable 10.

Precharge Board LED The three LEDs on the Precharge Board are visible through a small slot in the SCR Bus Supply
cover. The 400 A unit cover has one slot. The 600 A unit cover has two slots but only the lower
Indicators slot is used to view the LEDs. Since the Precharge Board for the 1000 A unit is mounted either
on the lower carrier plate (on Single Units) or on the upper carrier plate (on Master Units), the
corresponding lower or upper slot is used to view the LEDs. For slot locations, see Figure 19 on
page 35.

ATTENTION: The SCR Bus Supply LEDs are only operational when the unit
is energized. Servicing energized equipment can be hazardous. Severe
injury or death can result from electrical shock, burn, or unintended
actuation of the controlled equipment. Follow safety-related practices of
NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety For Employee Workplaces. DO NOT work alone
on energized equipment!

Accessories Line Reactors

A minimum reactance is required to limit peak currents in the AC line and the bridge circuit.
This can be accomplished either by a matched supply transformer or by adding line reactors
to ensure the requested minimum voltage drop over the total line impedance. The preferred
method is to install a minimum 3% line reactor, which will also reduce line harmonics.

Use Table 12…Table 15 to select a line reactor based on the sum of the drive’s connected DC
Amps and the supply transformer rating.

For more details on the 1321-Series line reactors, see the 1321 Power Conditioning Products

HF Filter
It is recommended to install one HF filter (Catalog No. 20S-RFC) in every system. When this
filter is used, the HF emission limits for class A, group 2* (EN 55011) in the 2nd environment
(industrial supply network) according to the product standard EN 61800-3 are met and the Bus
Supply fulfills CE conformity.

The HF filter is connected in front of the AC line reactor between the three AC line input phases
and the protection earth conductor PE (Figure 23).

Non-Solid Ground Systems

The HF filter may be installed with floating or HRG ground systems for line-to-line transient
protection. In this type of installation, the PE grounding plate should NOT be connected to
ground, but remain isolated from ground.

IMPORTANT The HF filter PE grounding plate will be floating with potential high
voltage with respect to earth ground when AC line power is applied.

Using the hole location dimensions from Figure 24, install the HF filter using the four (4) M4 x 19
nylon standoffs and four (4) M4 x 20 screws through the four holes in the plastic body of the HF
filter (Figure 25). Finger tighten the nylon standoffs. Do NOT install the three (3) M4 x 8 screws
through the PE grounding plate.

Install the High Voltage Warning label onto the PE grounding plate when the HF filter is
installed with a floating or HRG ground system.
