Description

Reliance Electric SA3000DC70 AutoMax SA3000 DC‑AC Inverter Power Module

Overview

The SA3000DC70 is a medium‑power, three‑phase DC‑to‑AC inverter module from Reliance Electric’s AutoMax SA3000 Distributed Power System (DPS). It converts a regulated 621 VDC bus into stable 460 VAC three‑phase output, delivering 70 A continuous AC current for general‑purpose industrial motors and multi‑axis drive systems. Designed for PMI rack mounting and cabinet installation, it combines rugged construction, efficient cooling, and full protection for reliable operation in standard industrial environments.

Key Features

  1. Medium‑Power DC‑AC Conversion: Converts 621 VDC to 460 VAC three‑phase, 70 A continuous output, suitable for 50–60 HP motors.

  2. Rugged Industrial Design: Heavy‑duty metal enclosure and vibration‑resistant components ensure durability in manufacturing settings.

  3. Forced‑Air Cooling: Integrated fan maintains optimal temperature during full‑load 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 to speed up troubleshooting.

  6. Seamless Integration: Compatible with AutoMax PMI racks, processors, I/O, and SA3000DC series rectifiers.

  7. High Fault Withstand: 10 kA symmetrical RMS short‑circuit rating for electrical safety.
