Drive Configuration
Power Loss
The drive contains a sophisticated algorithm to manage initial application of
power as well as recovery from a partial power loss event. The drive also has
programmable features that can minimize the problems associated with a loss of
power in certain applications.

Term
Definition
Vbus
The instantaneous DC bus voltage.
Vmem
The average DC bus voltage. A measure of the average bus voltage determined by heavily filtering bus
voltage. Just after the pre-charge relay is closed during the initial power-up bus pre-charge, bus memory
is set equal to bus voltage. Thereafter it is updated by ramping at a very slow rate toward Vbus. The filtered
value ramps at 2.4V DC per minute (for a 480VAC drive). An increase in Vmem is blocked during
deceleration to prevent a false high value due to the bus being pumped up by regeneration. Any change to
Vmem is blocked during inertia ride through.
Vslew
The rate of change of Vmem in volts per minute.
Vrecover
The threshold for recovery from power loss.
Vtrigger
The threshold to detect power loss.
The level is adjustable. The default is the value in the PowerFlex 750-Series Bus Level table. If “Pwr Loss
Lvl” is selected as an input function AND energized, Vtrigger is set to Vmem minus [Pwr Loss Level]. Vopen
is normally 60V DC below Vtrigger (in a 480VAC drive). Both Vopen and Vtrigger are limited to a minimum
of Vmin. This is a factor only if [Pwr Loss Level] is set to a large value.
Important: When using a value of P451/P454 [Pwr Loss A/B Level] that is larger than default, you must
provide a minimum line impedance to limit inrush current when the power line recovers. Provide an input
impedance that is equal to or greater than the equivalent of a 5% transformer with a VA rating 5 times the
drive’s input VA rating.
Vinertia
The software regulation reference for Vbus during inertia ride through.
Vclose
The threshold to close the pre-charge contactor.
Vopen
The threshold to open the pre-charge contactor.
Vmin
The minimum value of Vopen.
Voff
The bus voltage below which the switching power supply falls out of regulation.
