When the supply voltage undervoltage is ≤ 5%, the rated DC output voltage can be maintained.

Selection and ordering data

1. Core dimensions for selection

Selection should be based on armature circuit parameters (supply voltage, rated DC voltage/current), excitation circuit parameters (supply voltage, rated DC current), rated power, matched with corresponding models and matching fuses. Different supply voltages (400V/480V/575V/690V/830V/950V three-phase AC) correspond to different model sequences, for example:

400V three-phase AC: 6RA80xx-6DV62-0AA0 series

480V three-phase AC: 6RA80xx-6FV62-0AA0 series

575/690V three-phase AC: 6RA80xx-6GV62-0AA0 series

2. Rules for matching fuses

Different models require specific types and specifications of armature/excitation circuit fuses, such as:

6RA8013-6FV62-0AA0 (480V three-phase AC, 15A rated DC current): armature fuse 3NE1814-0 (2 pieces), excitation fuse 5SD420

6RA8087-6FV62-0AA0 (480V three-phase AC, 850A rated DC current): armature fuse 3NE3338-8+3NE3334-0B (parallel), excitation fuse 5SD480

High current models (such as 6RA8091-6FV62-0AA01200A rated DC current): Built in armature fuse, no external semiconductor fuse required, excitation fuse 3NE1802-0 (UL certified)
