Specifications
Electrical and Power Specifications
Minimum power supply voltage | 8 VDC |
|---|---|
Maximum absolute power supply voltage | 60 VDC (continuous) |
Internal drive DC bus capacitance | 49 µF Note that EVS-S-EVAL uses ceramic capacitors. The capacitance value varies with DC bias and temperature. |
Logic power supply voltage (optional) | 8 to 50 VDC Providing the logic supply is optional, as the drive is supplied from the DC bus (single supply) on its full operating voltage range. When supplied from logic, an intelligent switch will stop consuming from the DC bus. |
Boot-up time | 4 s |
Minimum shutdown time | 500 ms |
Maximum continuous phase current | 45 A @ 60 ºC Typically, 45 A can be obtained working at 48 V, 20 kHz with an appropriate cooling to keep case temperature under 60 ºC. On higher temperatures an automatic current derating will be applied to protect the system. See Product Description#Thermal and Power Specifications below. |
Maximum peak phase current | 60 A @ 1 sec Notice that peak current could be limited by an automatic current derating algorithm. In order to get 60 A, case temperature should be kept below 35 ºC. |
Maximum continuous output power | > 3 kW How the output power is calculated in an Ingenia drive. |
Maximum DC Bus voltage utilization | 99.73% @ 10 kHz 99.55% @ 20 kHz 99.04% @ 50 kHz 95.25% @ 100 kHz Note 1: these values assume a Sinusoidal commutation and no load connected. |

Safe Feedback Combinations (EVS-S-NET-E Safe Motion - future release)
Everest S Safe EVAL is designated as an evaluation product and is strictly for evaluation purposes for the Everest S Safe NET drive. It is not approved for final application or production use.
The section below is relevant to the future implementation of the Everest S Safe NET drive offering Safe Motion features.
Everest S Safe NET can provide advanced Safe Motion functions by using two individual non-certified encoders:
