2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The M3545P Regenerative DC Power Supply is a bi-directional power supply. During
normal operation it sources energy to the drive through the DC bus. If the DC bus voltage
begins to rise, due to the drive trying to brake or an overhauling load, the M3545P will sink
energy back to the AC Line. Under motoring conditions, the M3545P rectifies the AC line
and supplies power to the drive through its DC bus terminals.
Alternative resistive braking solutions simply dissipate this regenerated energy as heat.
Bonitron’s M3545P returns the regenerated energy back to the AC line, making it
particularly well suited for applications with frequent or extended duration braking events.
Additionally, the M3545P is designed to be able to operate on both single-phase and
three-phase AC grids, at either 50Hz or 60Hz line frequency.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
Installation and/or removal of this product should only be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with National Electrical Code or local
codes and regulations.
Proper installation of the M3545P regenerative power supply modules should be
accomplishedfollowing the steps outlined below. Be sure to refer tothe AC drive instruction
manual as these steps are performed. Please direct all installation inquiries that may arise
during the installation and start-up of this product to the equipment supplier or system
integrator.
3.1. ENVIRONMENT
The module should be installed in an area protected from moisture and falling debris.
Buildup of dust or debris may cause poor performance and possibly a failure.
Operating in a wet environment can pose a shock hazard. The recommended
temperature range for operating this module is 0 to +40C.
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 installation site for the module should be chosen with several considerations in
mind:
•When mounting the units in an enclosure, power dissipation should be taken into
account. Refer to Section 6.2 Watt Loss for details.
•The unit requires a minimum clearance of two (2) inches in all directions around it
when not mounted near a heat source. Heat sources may increase necessary
clearances.
•Unit should not be exposed to falling debris or condensation.
Once the installation site has been selected as outlined above, the unit should be
mounted in place.
The M3545P must be correctly oriented for proper heat flow through the unit. The
M3545P must be mounted with the rear surface of the unit to the mounting surface.
The unit may be mounted vertically or horizontally as shown in Figure 3-1A and 3-1D.
Do Not mount the unit in an upside-down position or on the underside of a mounting
surface as shown in Figure 3-1B and 3-1E.
Do Not mount the unit in a horizontal position with its side parallel to the mounting
surface or floor as shown in Figure 3-1C.
See Figure 6-1 for dimensional outline.

3.4. WIRING AND CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS
All power and user I/O wiring connections are brought out to the terminal block in the
front face of the unit; there should be no need to open the chassis during installation.
Be sure to review all pertinent AC drive and system documentation as well as the
information listed below before proceeding. Connection points and terminal numbers
of the AC drive will be found in the documentation provided with those units.
See Tables 3-1 and 3-2 and Figures 3-2 through 3-5 for connection details.
3.4.1. POWER WIRING
Power connections are on the terminal block on TB-1 through TB-5. See
Figure 3-2.
▪Where possible, minimize the DC wire length between the M3645P and
the drive. The wire length should not exceed 10 feet.
▪Avoid routing and bundling the unit’s AC/DC wire along with the drive
output leads to the motor.
CAUTION!
Only qualified electricians should perform and maintain the interconnection
wiring of this product. All wiring should be in accordance with local codes.
3.4.1.1. AC LINE
•The AC Line connections should be to a source rated for at least 150%
of the continuous current rating. This will ensure sufficient source
impedance to return power to the grid.
•Do not install any external chokes or reactors between the M3545P and
the power source; the M3545P has an internal 5% reactor.
•A properly rated isolation transformer may be installed between the
M3545P and the power source, if desired.
•Do not connect to a generator unless minimum load at any time exceeds
the peak expected regen power.
•The M3545P units are not phase sensitive.
•The AC Line connections should have short-circuit current protection.
See Table 6-3.
•To use the M3545P on a single-phase AC grid, you MUST connect to AC
L1 (TB-1) and AC L2 (TB-2).
3.4.1.2. DC BUS
•The DC bus connections may be made to the DC bus of an AC drive, the
DC output of a diode sharing unit, or to a common DC bus.
oIf a reactor or choke are being used in the bus, make sure the actual
connection is in parallel with filter capacitors of the drive/inverter.
•The DC bus connections should have short-circuit current protection.
The recommended fuses are listed in Table 6-3.

M3545P
16
DANGER!
Never attach the DC bus input of the M3545P to braking terminals on the AC
drive, commonly marked “BR”. These terminals are intended for use with an
external resistor, and are not directly connected to the bus filter capacitors of
the drive. Damage may occur if these terminals are used.
Please refer to your AC drive manual or AC drive technical support department
for assistance with this connection.
3.4.1.3. GROUNDING
Using the GND TB-11 on the terminal block, ground the chassis in
accordance with local codes. Typically, the wire gauge will be the same
as is used to ground the attached drive.

3.5. TYPICAL CONFIGURATIONS
The diagrams shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 illustrate typical connections of the
M3545P units with generic VFDs. There are many other configurations that may be
applied provided a basic connection criterion is maintained such as:
•The AC Line connections should maintain a low impedance path back to the grid.
•No reactors should be connected upstream of the M3545P unit without consulting
Bonitron for instructions.
•The DC link should be connected to a fixed bus whether from a common bus
supply or from the output of a VFD. This should never be connected to a switching
source such as the braking resistor terminals on some drives.
•The DC link should not be connected to an active front end drive without
instructions from Bonitron.

M3545P
18
•Any capacitive load requires precharge. Ensure that either the load has internal
precharge, or that the M3545P unit has a –R option. Units without the –R option
do not support precharge of any amount of capacitance. Applying power with no
precharge in the system will result in fuse failure, and possible damage to the unit
and load.
