Power to a drive.

Power to a drive.

Power to a drive.

(OP)
I have a customer that is hooking up a drive that requires 332V.  The voltage supplied to the plant is 480V. The transformer that I have found is a 480V-380Y/220. Is there anyway to apply an external tap or other device to make the voltage get with in the 332V requirements?

RE: Power to a drive.

Hi,

Is this a servo drive? They sometimes have special input voltage specificatrions.

An autotransformer is usually used to adapt voltage. And that is usually also mentioned in the manuals for the drive.

RE: Power to a drive.

Is it the drive that requires 332V, or is it the motor.
With many inverter drive systems, it is possible to specify the output voltage at a given frequency and this is independent of the input voltage provided that it is less than or equal to the input voltage. - no transformer required if this is the case.
