The Bonitron M3713 DC Bus Supply is a six pulse diode bridge that can serve as the main power supply for your common bus DC systems.
Common bus drive configurations are used with multiple drives in a single system to provide design flexibility, redundancy, higher efficiency, and cost savings. Variable frequency drives and servo drives can use a common DC bus to share power in mixed mode operation, where some drives may be motoring and others regenerating. The common bus allows for lower system part count and wiring with common reactors, input filters, braking choppers and regeneration units.
Multiple M3713 units can be used in parallel to allow higher output for high power applications for redundancy and process reliability. The M3713SC can also be used as a building block for 12 and 18 pulse systems using standard VFD’s. These systems mitigate harmonics and other power quality issues. The M3713SC, along with a phase shifting transformer allows standard drives to meet IEEE 519 compliance.
The M3713HF allows one or more VFDs to operate from a 400 Hz AC feed. The M3713HF can also be used as a building block for 12 and 18 pulse systems for VFDs.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
