Pump System One-Line Diagram<br />

Plat<strong>for</strong>m MV Bus<br />

In this diagram, <strong>Drive</strong> 1 is shown<br />

with a synchronous bypass<br />

option, which can be added in <strong>the</strong><br />

future. This option will allow <strong>the</strong><br />

drive to:<br />

DB5i MV<br />

<strong>Drive</strong> 1<br />

<strong>Drive</strong> 2<br />

Motor 4<br />

Motor 5<br />

• Start Motor 1 with low<br />

current inrush.<br />

• Bring <strong>the</strong> motor up to<br />

synchronous speed.<br />

• Synchronize <strong>the</strong> motor with<br />

<strong>the</strong> supply bus.<br />

• Put <strong>the</strong> motor across <strong>the</strong><br />

line <strong>and</strong> disconnect <strong>the</strong><br />

drive from <strong>the</strong> supply.<br />

• Allow <strong>Drive</strong> 2 to control<br />

Pump 2 flow as required<br />

by <strong>the</strong> flow dem<strong>and</strong>.<br />

This configuration allows Motor 1<br />

to run at full speed without <strong>the</strong><br />

heat losses in <strong>the</strong> drive. The<br />

synchronous option can be<br />

extended to <strong>the</strong> second drive if<br />

required.<br />

Future Improvements<br />

The customer has <strong>the</strong> option in <strong>the</strong> future to retire <strong>the</strong> last old drive <strong>and</strong><br />

install contactors on all motors <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> two drives. With appropriate<br />

PLC control logic, <strong>the</strong> system will allow ei<strong>the</strong>r Dura-Bilt to start <strong>and</strong> run<br />

any of <strong>the</strong> five motors, <strong>and</strong> put <strong>the</strong>m across <strong>the</strong> line.<br />

This future system improvement will provide:<br />

• The maximum flexibility to operate <strong>the</strong> pumps under a wide<br />

range of situations.<br />

• Soft starting available <strong>for</strong> all motors to minimize system impact<br />

<strong>and</strong> deterioration of <strong>the</strong> windings caused by inrush current.<br />

• Reduction in <strong>the</strong> impact of drive downtime since no motor is<br />

dedicated to any drive.<br />
