How to use the Relay Output to Power a Panel Fan when Solar Drive is Running

| 0

The Solar Drive Relay Outputs can be used to control Panel Fans which switch on when the Solar Drive is running and switches off when the Solar Drive stops running. In order to do that a Power Source can be connected to one of the Solar Drive Relays with the Panel Fan connected to the Normally Open Relay Output. Using the Relay Output parameters, the Outputs can be controlled by the Solar Drive Running Status by setting the following parameter:

  • When using Relay 1 (TA1-TB1-TC1), set F5-04 = 1
  • When using Relay 2 (TA2-TB2-TC2 or TA-TB-TC), set F5-02 = 1

Please Note: For Smaller Drives with only one set of Relays (TA-TB-TC), use the TA2-TB2-TC2 Relay parameter settings.

Relay Panel Fan

Contact driving capacity:

  • 250 Vac, 3 A, COSø = 0.4
  • 30 Vdc, 1 A

 

Suggested Cooling as follows:

*Please also see Drive Cooling/Panel Fan Selection information here.

  • Active Cooling (air condition and water cooling) Rule of Thumb = 75 BTU/h is required for every 1 HP
  • Passive Cooling (fan cooling) Rule of Thumb = 4 CFM is required for every 1 HP to maintain 10°C above ambient in the enclosure

*Please also see Drive Derating information here.
