1.1.2 User Safety Responsibility Statement
for All Parker Products
The equipment described is intended for industrial motor speed control utilising AC induction motors or
AC permanent magnet synchronous machines.
1.1.3 PERSONNEL
Installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment should be carried out by competent personnel.
A competent person is someone who is technically qualified and familiar with all safety information and
established safety practices; with the installation process, operation and maintenance of this equipment;
and with all the hazards involved.
1.1.4 PRODUCT WARNING
1.1.5 HAZARDS
DANGER - Ignoring the following may result in server injury or death
This equipment can endanger life by
exposure to rotating machinery and high
voltages.
The equipment must be permanently earthed
due to the high earth leakage current, and the
drive motor must be connected to an
appropriate safety earth.
Ensure all incoming supplies are isolated
before working on the equipment. Be aware
that there may be more than one supply
connection to the drive.
There may still be dangerous voltages
present at power terminals (motor output,
supply input phases, DC bus and the brake,
where fitted) when the motor is at standstill or
is stopped.
For measurements use only a meter to IEC
61010 (CAT III or higher). Always begin using the
highest range.
CAT I and CAT II meters must not be used on
this product.
Allow at least 5 minutes for the drive's capacitors
to discharge to safe voltage levels (<50V). Use
the specified meter capable of measuring up to
1000V dc & ac rms to confirm that less than 50V
is present between all power terminals and
between power terminals and earth.
Unless otherwise stated, this product must NOT
be dismantled. In the event of a fault the drive
must be returned. Refer to "Routine Maintenance
and Repair".

WARNING - Ignoring the following may result in injury or equipment damage
SAFETY
Where there is conflict between EMC and Safety requirements, personnel safety shall always take
precedence.
Never perform high voltage resistance checks
on the wiring without first disconnecting the drive
from the circuit being tested.
Whilst ensuring ventilation is sufficient,
provide guarding and /or additional safety
systems to prevent injury or damage to
equipment.
When replacing a drive in an application and
before returning to use, it is essential that all user
defined parameters for the product’s operation
are correctly installed.
All control and signal terminals are SELV, i.e.
protected by double insulation. Ensure all external
wiring is rated for the highest system voltage.
Thermal sensors contained within the motor must
have at least basic insulation.
All exposed metalwork in the Inverter is protected
by basic insulation and bonded to a safety earth.
RCDs are not recommended for use with this
product but, where their use is mandatory, only Type
B RCDs should be used.
CAUTION - Ignoring the following may result in injury or damage to equipment
APPLICATION RISK
The specifications, processes and circuitry described herein are for guidance only and may need
to be adapted to the user’s specific application. We can’t guarantee the suitability of the equipment
described in this Manual for individual applications.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Under fault conditions, power loss or unintended operating conditions, the drive may not operate as
intended. In particular:
Stored energy might not discharge to safe
levels as quickly as suggested, and can still
be present even though the drive appears
to be switched off
The motor's direction of rotation might not be
controlled
The motor speed might not be controlled
The motor might be energised
A drive is a component within a drive system that may influence its operation or effects under a fault
condition. Consideration must be given to:
Stored energy
Supply disconnects
Sequencing logic
Unintended operation

3 Product Introduction
Product Overview
The Parker SSD MA3 inverter is designed to control standard 3-phase permanent magnet
synchronous motors and AC induction motors. The inverter is capable of 4-quadrant motor
control which enables the motor to also act as a generator. The MA3 normally operates in a
Closed-Loop Vector mode; however the inverter can be configured to operate in Sensorless and
V/Hz mode.
Motor speed feedback is provided by a resolver or quadrature encoder mounted on the motor
shaft. The speed loop has amendable bi-directional speed demand, ramp, and torque limits.
When regenerating, motors operate with a saturated speed loop, such as in torque mode with a
speed limit.

3.1.3 Block Diagram
Refer to the following diagram that displays connections between the DC bus, motor, feedback
and I/O connections to the MA3 inverter.

Page 18
3.1.4 Example System Diagram
As shown in the diagram on the following page, Parker inverters can be used to convert and
control power in many applications, converting from alternating current (AC) to direct current
(DC) and from DC to AC power with controlled torque, speed, and dynamic performance.
Typical applications also include Parker PMAC motor/generators, induction motors, energy
storage systems along with battery management systems, and hydraulic components.
With these components, the Parker inverter lets a user take the best of both the hydraulic world
in power and the electrical world in control and reporting. Combining these technologies
enables an application to achieve unparalleled performance.

4 Product Installation
4.1 Mechanical Installation in a Mobile
Environment
4.1.1 Dimensions and Weight
Weight: 16.8 kg/37 lbs

Page 20
4.1.2 Mounting
While mounting the inverter, take care to place
the inverter in a location and orientation that
allows for access to both cooling port
connections and electrical connections as
protected by the gasket plate. MA3 inverters are
typically mounted with legs and/or spacers at the four (4)
M10 mounting points on 250 mm (9.84″) x 300 mm (11.81″) centers.
4.1.3 Installation Orientation
The MA3 inverter can be installed in any orientation. It has no preferred orientation for
mounting. The installer must exercise care so that debris will not build up between the inverter
housing and mounting surfaces. Debris buildup degrades cooling of the device, and may have a
possible impact of freezing to the device casing. Assume the standard axis configuration
whenever this document refers to it.
4.2 Cooling Requirements
The MA3 inverter is enclosed in an IP65-rated aluminum casting that has an embedded cooling
system capable of using ethylene glycol- or hydraulic oil-based coolants.
Details of the inverter cooling system requirements using pre-diluted ethylene glycol (EG) (50%
EG, 50% water) and temperature ratings are presented in the following table.
