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.
For disambiguation on current definitions please see Disambiguation on current values and naming for Ingenia Drives

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.

99.55% @ 20 kHz

99.04% @ 50 kHz

95.25% @ 100 kHz
