These recommendations are advisory and do not address all situations. Site
specific conditions must be considered to assure a quality installation.
Table 4 - AC Line Impedance Recommendations for Bulletin 160 Drives
EXAMPLE The drive is rated 1 Hp, 480V, 2.7A input.
The supply transformer is rated 50,000 VA (50 kVA), 5% impedance.
Note that the percent (%) impedance has to be in per unit (5% becomes 0.05)
for the formula.
0.22% is less than 0.5%. Therefore, this transformer is too big for the drive.
Consider adding a line reactor.
IMPORTANT Grouping multiple drives on one reactor is acceptable; however, the reactor
percent impedance must be large enough when evaluated for each drive
separately, not evaluated for all loads connected at once.
