1.2.7 FIELD CONTROLLER BASE ASSEMBLY (AFMs and 540, 850, 1550, and 3000 ADC
Power Converters)
The FIELD CONTROLLER BASE ASSEMBLY is used on power converters rated 540,
850, 1550, and 3000 ADC as well as all AFMs. It contains the field supply components
and the control electronics that operate the entire motor drive. (See Figure 1-10.) Heat
generated by the field SCR's is dissipated by the heat sink contained in the base
assembly. The base includes the Shunt Field Supply, fuses, bridge interface board and
microprocessor board.
Shunt Field Supply
The SHUNT FIELD SUPPLY is a single phase thyristor/diode bridge which controls the
excitation current to the motor's shunt wound field.
The AC supply comes from the 3-phase main supply. AC line fuses protect the converter
against overcurrents caused by shorts.
Fusing (Refer to Section VII, Table 7-10, for fuse replacement information.)
Fuses contained in the field controller base assembly include: Field Supply AC line (F3,
F4), Control Power Transformer Primary (rejection type) (F1, F2), Board Power (F5),
Contactor Coil (F6), Cooling Blower (F7), and Auxiliary Power (F8). Fuses F1, F2, F6,
and F7 are sized according to the external equipment that is being utilized with the
ADDvantage-32 PLUS (i.e., contactors, control transformers, relays, etc.). These fuses
must be supplied by the user or are provided in the optional auxiliary hardware kit which
is available in addition to the standard DC motor drive.
