The rectifier and DC link are designed such that an external input line
reactor is not required.
DC terminal connections are available, using the correct Busbar kit
Input/ Output chokes ( Line inductors)
- Frame 12 is the drive with the highest current and power ratings manufactured by Control
Techniques. The power rating of a drive is inversely proportional to the required inductance of
the INL and OTL chokes, consequently the inductance needed to ensure correct operation of
Frame 12 is low. 15 metres of cable provides enough inductance to replace the OTL, and INL
choke inductance can be replaced by combination of cable and the supply transformer

inductance. 29
Drive format - Unidrive M frame 12T
Input line inductors
- Frame 12 drives have been designed to operate without input line inductors if
the following conditions are met: 12T
» The supply transformer is no larger than 2 MVA
» The input cables must be at least 15 metres* or longer from the transformer to the drive
» Cables specified in the Frame 12 Power Installation Guide are used

12 pulse configurations
With Frame 9T,10T & 11T, a 12 pulse rectifier eliminates the crucial fifth and seventh
harmonics (except for a small residue caused by imperfect balance of the rectifier
groups).
The drive is fed from a 12 pulse transformer, this has star and delta windings (or zig-
zag windings) have a relative 30° phase shift
Type equation here.
