Operation Down to 1/2 Line Voltage
The PowerFlex 525 drive allows for the selection of 1/2 DC Bus operation, for use in critical applications where continued
drive output is desired even in the event of brown out or low voltage conditions. The PowerFlex 525 drive also supports
enhanced inertia ride through for additional low voltage mitigation.
•Selectable 1/2 line voltage operation.
•Increased power loss ride through.
Optimized for Common DC Bus Installations
Enhanced Control of Internal Pre-charge
Common DC Bus offers additional inherent breaking capabilities by utilizing all the drives/loads on the bus for energy
absorption offering higher efficiency and cost savings. The PowerFlex 525 drive has been optimized for use in Common
DC Bus or Shared DC Bus installations.
•Configurable pre-charge control using digital inputs.
•Direct DC Bus connection to power terminal blocks.
Safety Inside using Safe-Torque-Off Function
Safe Torque-Off is a standard safety feature of the PowerFlex 525 drive to help protect personnel and equipment. Safe
Torque-off allows you to restart your application faster after a safety-related situation.

Derating Guidelines for High Altitude
The drive can be used without derating at a maximum altitude of 1000 m (3300 ft).
If the drive is used above 1000 m (3300 ft):
•Derate the maximum ambient temperature by 5 °C (41 °F) for every additional 1000 m (3300 ft), subject to limits
listed in the Altitude Limit (Based on Voltage) table below.
Or
•Derate the output current by 10% for every additional 1000 m (3300 ft), subject to limits listed in the Altitude Limit
(Based on Voltage) table below.
High Altitude
Debris Protection
Take precautions to prevent debris from falling through the vents of the drive housing during installation.
Storage
•Store within an ambient temperature range of -40...85 °C(1).
•Store within a relative humidity range of 0...95%, noncondensing.
•Do not expose to a corrosive atmosphere.
(1) The maximum ambient temperature for storing a Frame E drive is 70 °C.

ATTENTION: PowerFlex 525 contains protective MOVs that are referenced to ground. These devices must be disconnected if the

ATTENTION: Removing MOVs in drives with an embedded filter will also disconnect the filter capacitor from earth ground.

Disconnecting MOVs
To prevent drive damage, the MOVs connected to ground shall be disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded
distribution system (IT mains) where the line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of the nominal line-to-
line voltage. To disconnect these devices, remove the jumper shown in the diagrams below.
1. Turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Pull the jumper completely out of the drive chassis.
3. Tighten the screw to keep it in place.
Jumper Location (Typical)
Phase to Ground MOV Removal
Input Power Conditioning
The drive is suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated voltage of the drive (see Input Power Conditions
on page 19). Listed in the Input Power Conditions table below are certain input power conditions which may cause
component damage or reduction in product life. If any of these conditions exist, install one of the devices listed under the
heading Corrective Action on the line side of the drive.
IMPORTANT
Tighten screw after jumper removal.
IMPORTANT
Only one device per branch circuit is required. It should be mounted closest to the branch and sized to handle the total current of
the branch circuit.

Input Power Conditions
(1) For drives applied on an open delta with a middle phase grounded neutral system, the phase opposite the phase that is tapped in the middle to the neutral or earth is referred to as the “stinger leg,” “high
leg,” “red leg,” etc. This leg should be identified throughout the system with red or orange tape on the wire at each connection point. The stinger leg should be connected to the center Phase B on the
reactor. See Bulletin 1321-3R Series Line Reactors on page 35 for specific line reactor part numbers.
(2) See Accessories and Dimensions on page 30 for accessory ordering information.
General Grounding Requirements
The drive Safety Ground - (PE) must be connected to system ground. Ground impedance must conform to the
requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground
connections should be periodically checked.
Typical Grounding
Ground Fault Monitoring
If a system ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B (adjustable) devices should be used to avoid nuisance
tripping.
Safety Ground - (PE)
This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building
steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety
regulations and/or electrical codes.
Motor Ground
The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the drive.

Shield Termination - SHLD
Either of the safety ground terminals located on the power terminal block provides a grounding point for the motor cable
shield. The motor cable shield connected to one of these terminals (drive end) should also be connected to the motor
frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to connect the shield to the safety ground terminal. The
earthing plate or conduit box option may be used with a cable clamp for a grounding point for the cable shield.
When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield should be grounded at the source end only, not at the
drive end.
RFI Filter Grounding
Using a drive with filter may result in relatively high ground leakage currents. Therefore, the filter must only be used in
installations with grounded AC supply systems and be permanently installed and solidly grounded (bonded) to the
building power distribution ground. Ensure that the incoming supply neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the same
building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on flexible cables and should not include any form of plug or
socket that would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes may require redundant ground connections. The
integrity of all connections should be periodically checked.
Power Wiring
Motor Cable Types Acceptable for 100...600 Volt Installations
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided
it can be separated from sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3 m (1 ft) for every 10 m (32.8 ft)
of length. In all cases, long parallel runs must be avoided. Do not use cable with an insulation thickness less than 15 mils
(0.4 mm/0.015 in.). Do not route more than three sets of motor leads in a single conduit to minimize “cross talk”. If more
than three drive/motor connections per conduit are required, shielded cable must be used.
UL installations above 50 °C ambient must use 600V, 90 °C wire.
UL installations in 50 °C ambient must use 600V, 75 °C or 90 °C wire.
UL installations in 40 °C ambient should use 600V, 75 °C or 90 °C wire.
Use copper wire only. Wire gauge requirements and recommendations are based on 75 °C. Do not reduce wire gauge when
using higher temperature wire.
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.) and local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical
equipment. Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection and
disconnect devices. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by induced voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded at both
ends. For the same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or installed, all drives using this conduit should be disabled.
This will help minimize the possible shock hazard from “cross coupled” power leads.
