ACS 6000AD
Power Cables Specification
In this document, three types of cables are specified. Chapter 1 specifies ARU (Active Rectifier Unit) and INU (INverter Unit) cables. Power- cables for the connections between ARU and transformer as well as INU and machine have to fulfill these requirements. Chapter 2 specifies 12p LSU (Line Supply Unit) cables. As the demands to 12p LSU cables are weaker than those of ARU/INU cables it is possible to realize all power connections with ARU/INU cables. Chapter 3 specifies BCU (Braking Chopper Unit) cables. Power-cables for the connections between BCU and braking resistor have to fulfill these specified demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are screened cables mandatory for power connections?
Yes, screened cables are mandatory. The screen provides potential grading, limits the electrical field, ensures grounding, and aids touch protection.
Which cable type is specified for INU/ARU-power modules?
These systems require cables connecting the ARU to the transformer, and the INU to the machine.
How should the armor be connected at both ends of an inner shield?
The armor must be connected to ground at both ends. At the braking resistor side, it connects directly to protective earth (PE).
What is the cable insulation requirement for the main converter type?
The specified cable insulation should be 6 kV nominal and 10 kV peak.
