1336 REGEN Line Regeneration Package (1336R)

The 1336 REGEN Line Regeneration Package allows energy-efficient braking in stand-alone AC drive applications, and provides improved drive performance and low AC line input current harmonics in common bus applications. The 1336 REGEN converter is built on the same power platform and uses the same operator and communication interface as the 1336 PLUS, 1336 PLUS II, 1336 IMPACT and 1336 FORCE AC drive.

The 1336 REGEN Line Regeneration Package can be configured to address the needs of two operating modes; the Regenerative DC Bus Supply mode and the Regenerative Brake mode.

• In the Regenerative Brake Mode the 1336 REGEN is used to remove regenerative braking energy from the DC bus of an AC drive and return it back to the three-phase AC utility.
• In the Regenerative DC Bus Supply Mode, the 1336 REGEN supplies both motoring and regenerative power to one or more AC drives with common DC bus input .

Features

• Regenerative Braking for Energy Savings and Elimination of Braking Resistors. The 1336 REGEN eliminates the need for large resistor banks. These resistors banks can create a lot of heat and must frequently be cleaned. Instead of wasting energy with resistor braking technology, regenerative braking actually puts the energy back into the system to be used by other equipment.
• A precharge unit that limits the inrush current and provides AC line voltage phase and magnitude information to the converter.
• For simplified AC drive start-up and reduced development time, we’ve integrated the 1336 REGEN configuration with RSLogix™ 5000 software. This single-software approach simplifies parameter and tag programming while still allowing stand-alone drive software tool use on the factory floor.

Regenerative Brake Mode

• Energy-efficient alternative to dynamic brakes and chopper modules in stand-alone 1336 PLUS, 1336 PLUS II, 1336 IMPACT and 1336 FORCE drive applications.
• Sized independently of the drive for amount of braking needed.
• AC line current harmonic spectrum comparable to that of a standard AC drive input with 3% line reactor.
• Available as a standard product or factory packaged to your specification.

Regenerative DC Bus Supply Mode

• Supplies a regulated DC bus to any combination of 1336 PLUS, 1336 PLUS II, 1336 IMPACT or 1336 FORCE common bus drives.
• Provides excellent immunity to AC line voltage disturbances.
• Low input current harmonics are below IEEE 519-1992 limits with custom line reactor and harmonic filter.
• Patented two-phase PWM and fully digital current loop provide high bandwidth and low system losses.
