2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION / FEATURES
Bonitron’s M3345D Diode Sharing Modules are designed to offer a low cost solution for
sharing regeneration or dynamic braking for multiple drives. Traditionally, a common DC
bus for the drives and regen modules has required that the drives be connected to a
common bus power supply. If the drives are directly connected to the AC line, the parallel
input bridges cancause circulating currents. This causes overheating and shortened drive
life. The M3345D modules provide blocking diodes that isolate the drives from each other
while establishing a shared, common regen bus. This eliminates circulating currents with
parallel input bridges.
Please see the Application Notes in Section 7 for additional information.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. ENVIRONMENT
All units require adequate protection from the elements. Open frame modules
must be mounted within enclosures of suitable rating for the environment.
Adequate clearance should be allowed for easy access to terminals and
adjustments. This will facilitate inspection and maintenance.
Sufficient circulation of clean, dry air should be provided. Ambient temperatures
should not exceed +40°C (+104°F) nor be less than 0°C (+32°F) and non-
condensing. Ambient air should not becontaminated with harmful chemical vapors
or excessive dust, dirt, or moisture.
3.2. UNPACKING
Upon receipt of this product, please verify that the product received matches the
product that was ordered and that there is no obvious physical damage to the unit. If
the wrong product was received or the product is damaged in any way, please contact
the supplier from which the product was purchased.
3.3. MOUNTING
The modules are intended to be mounted in a protective enclosure. The unit will
require a minimum clearance of three (3) inches around it to allow for proper airflow
for cooling.
Refer to Section 6 of this manual to determine the correct mounting dimensions and
provisions for the unit.
3.4. WIRING AND CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS
3.4.1. POWER WIRING
WARNING!
Only qualified electricians should perform and maintain the
interconnection wiring of this product. All wiring should be done in
accordance with local codes.
Wire size should be selected in accordance with local codes, according to the current
rating of the braking load. In general, the wire type should be selected by the nominal
system AC voltage and the current rating of the module.

3.4.1.1. REGEN CONNECTION
The DC bus input should be connected to the DC input of the Regen
module.
Make sure that the DC bus connection polarity is correct. Improper
polarity connections risk damaging drive equipment if energized.
3.4.1.2. DRIVE CONNECTION
Some drives have a connection to an internal braking transistor. Do
NOT use this connection. Connect only to the DC bus terminals.
Make sure that the DC bus connection polarity is correct. Improper
polarity connections risk damaging drive equipment if energized.
3.4.1.3. GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
All units come equipped with either a ground terminal or ground stud
that is connected to the module chassis. Ground the chassis in
accordance with local codes. Typically, the wire gauge will be the same
as is used to ground the attached drive.

4. OPERATION
4.1. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Diode Sharing Module isolatesthe DC bus connections of multiple drives to isolate
the AC bridges of the drives. This insures that the input bridges of each drive do not
supply power to other drives in the network, or allow circulating currents between
drives. These currents can cause bridge overheating and damage to the drives.
4.2. STARTUP
4.2.1. PRE-POWER CHECKS
Insure that all connections are tight, DC bus polarity is correct, and that the
drives are connected to the proper terminals. Check for exposed conductors
that may lead to inadvertent contact or shorting. Insure that the current rating
of the module is suitable for the application.
4.2.2. STARTUP PROCEDURE AND CHECKS
Check each drive + and –connection, and make sure they are correct.
Cross connection of the drive buses can cause catastrophic damage to
the drives or the Ride-Thru Module.
Make sure the incoming line voltage is within tolerance of the drive
system and the M3345 Diode Sharing Module.
Apply power to the drive system.
4.3. OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
There are no adjustments necessary to these modules.

5. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Repairs or modifications to this equipment are to be performed by Bonitron approved
personnel only. Any repair or modification to this equipment by personnel not approved
by Bonitron will void any warranty remaining on this unit.
5.1. TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1.1. DRIVE WILL NOT PRECHARGE
Verify that the DC bus connections on the drive and on the M3345D DC bus
terminals.
5.1.2. CIRCULATING CURRENTS BETWEEN DRIVES
Make sure the connections are correct between the drives and the Common
Bus Module.
5.1.3. HEATSINK GETS EXCESSIVELY HOT
Make sure that the connections are correct. Heat can be caused by
circulating currents between the drives.
5.1.4. DRIVE VOLTAGE TOO HIGH OR DRIVE TRIPS ON OVER-VOLTAGE
Make sure that the fuses are not blown. Check voltage across the
M3345D fuses and replace fuses if voltage is >1V.
Check blocking diodes for failure.
Verify that voltage is 0.5 - 2V across the M3345 diode which should be
regenerating energy.
5.1.5. DRIVE OVERVOLTAGE ON ONE DRIVE BUT NOT ON ANOTHER
DRIVE
Check the fuses on the M3345D. A blown fuse will not let the drive
5.1.6. OVERHEATING
Check that if the unit has a fan that it is working properly. If there is any
debris or object blocking the fan clear this immediately.
Check the heatsink, diodes, and fuses for being covered if they are covered
in dust or dirt. If the unit is dirty wipe it down thoroughly.
5.2. TECHNICAL HELP –BEFORE YOU CALL
If possible, please have the following information when calling for technical help:
Serial number of unit
Name of original equipment supplier
