Reliance Electric SA3000DC17.5 AutoMax SA3000 DC-AC Power Module

Overview

The SA3000DC17.5 (part number 897.07.50A) is a compact, medium‑power DC‑AC inverter module from Reliance Electric’s AutoMax SA3000 Distributed Power System (DPS). It converts a regulated 621 VDC bus into three‑phase 460 VAC output, delivering 17.5 A continuous AC current for small‑to‑medium industrial motors and single‑axis drives. Designed for cabinet mounting and PMI rack integration, it offers robust protection, efficient cooling, and diagnostic LEDs for reliable operation in light‑to‑duty industrial environments.

Key Features

  1. Medium‑Power DC‑AC Conversion: Converts 621 VDC to 460 VAC three‑phase, 17.5 A continuous output, ideal for 10–15 HP motors.

  2. Compact Industrial Design: Rugged metal enclosure, vibration‑resistant components, and small footprint for space‑constrained control cabinets.

  3. Forced‑Air Cooling: Integrated fan maintains safe temperatures during continuous operation.

  4. Comprehensive Protection: Overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short‑circuit, overtemperature, and ground‑fault protection.

  5. Diagnostic LEDs: Front‑panel indicators for DC bus status, run mode, and fault codes for quick troubleshooting.

  6. Seamless Integration: Compatible with AutoMax PMI racks, processors, I/O, and SA3000DC series rectifiers (e.g., SA3000DC070).

  7. High Short‑Circuit Withstand: 10 kA symmetrical RMS rating for electrical fault durability.
