Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a catalog for CD Automation's Multidrive systems, which are designed for industrial applications requiring precise control of electrical loads. It includes detailed specifications, features, and configurations for various Multidrive models.
Specifications:
  • Voltage Supply: Options include 480V, 600V, and 690V.
  • Current Rating: Ranges from 35A to 2100A.
  • Load Compatibility: Suitable for 1-3 phase loads, including resistive, inductive, and transformer loads.
  • Protection Features: Includes internal fuses, stall fan protection, thermal protection, and unbalanced load protection.
Control and Communication:
  • Control Modes: Available modes include voltage, current, power, and external feedback control.
  • Firing Modes: Configurable options include burst firing, delayed triggering, and phase angle firing.
  • Communication: RS485 port with Modbus protocol, with options for Profibus and Ethernet.
Features:
  • Configuration: Fully digital with a frontal keypad for configuration and diagnostics.
  • Inputs/Outputs: Multiple analog and digital inputs/outputs for versatile control and monitoring.
  • Diagnostic Capabilities: Includes heater break alarms and visual diagnostics via a front keypad.
Applications: Suitable for use in petrochemicals, power generation, pharmaceuticals, autoclaves, furnaces, and galvanic processes.
Technical Notes:
  • External protection such as circuit breakers or fuses is required.
  • Proper RC filters are necessary for inductive loads.
  • Operating temperature is 0-40°C, with derating required above this range.
Ordering Information: Detailed ordering codes are provided for specifying current, voltage, input types, firing modes, control modes, and additional options.
Competitive Advantages: The document highlights the advantages of CD Automation's Multidrive systems over competitors, including integrated fuses, diagnostic capabilities, and communication options.
Specifications and Features:
  • Firing Mechanism: The thyristor unit performs digital firing at zero volts to avoid EMC interference, with firing speed determined by the number of complete cycles specified for 50% power demand.
  • Delayed Triggering: Used to switch the primary coil of transformers with normal resistive loads on the secondary, preventing inrush current.
  • Phase Angle Firing and Current Limit Loop: Available on 1 and 3 phase units, includes a standard current limit.
Maintainability and Targets:
  • Each phase can be replaced by a technician by removing 4 screws without a forklift.
  • Average phase weight is 16kg for up to 2100 Amps.
  • Phase replacement time is under 20 minutes, minimizing plant downtime.
  • Auxiliary connections are plug-in to prevent wiring errors.
  • Control board connections include ProfiNET, Ethernet IP, and EtherCAT.
Multidrive Units:
  • Available in 1PH, 2PH, and 3PH configurations with current ratings from 1100A to 2100A.
  • Users must provide external electromagnetic circuit breakers or fuse isolators and appropriate transformers for electronic board supply.
  • Load types include Delta, Star, and Star + Neutral configurations.
Current Rating and Cabinet Temperature: Current ratings vary with cabinet temperatures (40°C, 45°C, 50°C) for different amperages (1100A to 2100A).
Ordering Code: Detailed codes for phase stack thyristor, current, voltage, input, firing, control mode, options, fan voltage, approvals, manual language, and load connection.
Dimensions and Fixing Holes: Dimensions and weights for 1PH, 2PH, and 3PH units are specified.
