Liquid Cooled Rectifier Module - Data Sheet

1. Introduction

• The MVRL2100-4601-A is manufactured by Avid Controls under license from the General Electric
Company.
• In an MV3000 DELTA drive system, rectifier modules shown below are used in network bridges to
convert an AC supply into a rectified, unsmoothed DC supply.
• The rectifier module is available in a single rating. Larger rectifier power ratings can be achieved by
connecting the modules in parallel. Each module has a pair of three-phase, six pulse rectifiers, with
individual AC input terminals. Two DC positive terminals and a single DC negative output terminal
are provided.
• The rectifier module may be operated as a 12-pulse network bridge. This configuration is achieved by
connecting the DC positive outputs together through an inter-bridge transformer and one AC input
being phase-shifted in relation to the other by an external supply transformer.

2. Features

• The rectifier module includes a circuit which is capable of pre-charging the transistor modules. This
circuit charges the DC link capacitors of the transistor modules via current limiting resistors in the
rectifier module.
• Modules fit in the standard DELTA mounting frames.
• Metal oxide varistors are included to absorb surge energy from the mains. Supply impedance is
necessary for this to function correctly.
• Protection against DC link short circuits is with the use of recommended semi-conductor fuses.
• Modules carry thermostat and thermistor temperature sensing devices, which are monitored by the
MV3000e controller to provide over-temperature protection.

3. Interfaces

• Signals between the controller and rectifier module are by individual wires.
• The AC and DC power connections have stud terminals and are designed for cable connection.

4. External Requirements

• For parallel operation of rectifier modules, external sharing reactors must be fitted;
• Similarly, for parallel operation of the two six-pulse rectifiers within a MVRL2100-4601 module,
external sharing reactors must be fitted;
• For 12-pulse operation, the two supplies must be phase shifted by 30° to each other, and be of balanced
voltage. The DC output must be through an inter-bridge transformer;
• Protection of the main input rectifier devices is by the addition of external semi-conductor fuses. For
recommended fuses, see FUSES section The AC and DC terminals on the modules are not suitable to
support the weight of any attached cables. These cables must have additional mechanical support;
• These liquid cooled modules must be cooled by an externally derived cooling system.

5. Related Documents

• Failure to comply with any of the general requirements for installation, operation and maintenance
provided in the technical manuals will significantly increase the risk of mal-operation, fire or electric
shock.
• Instructions for removing and installing the module, and for commissioning the drive, are contained in
the following General Electric manuals:
• T1676EN, MV3000 Getting Started Manual for AC-fed Drives
• T2002EN, MV3000 Getting Started Manual for Active Energy Management Drives
• T1693EN, MV DELTA Liquid Cooled Drive System
• T1679EN, MV3000 Drive Range Software Technical Manual

10. Fusing

• Fuse selection depends on many external factors, including the current/time loading conditions,
number of starts per hour/day etc., fuse cooling, ambient temperature, continuous running or
intermittent running and fuse connection/mounting arrangements.
• The fuse information detailed here, is intended to provide a basic fusing arrangement for a single unit
operating at rated current and voltage with an overload occurring for 60s once every 10 minutes and
one stop/start per day.
