Industrial companies can now benefit from increased space savings and lower costs with a new non-regenerative bus supply. The bus supply is part of the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex® 755TM portfolio. It is a cost-effective solution for a common bus, when regenerative and low harmonics are not required.
If users have multiple motors, a common bus solution can reduce the size and cost. And customers can save additional cost by using a non-regenerative supply.
The non-regenerative bus supply converts three-phase AC line voltage to DC. It is compatible with PowerFlex 755TM bus supplies and common bus Inverters.
Part of the 755T drives portfolio, the non-regenerative supply solutions must be paired with a drive with TotalFORCE® technology to be considered TotalFORCE. But it can also serve as a non-regenerative DC power supply for common bus applications, which is not TotalFORCE.
The non-regenerative supply is available in 6-Pulse and 12-pulse configurations with XT corrosive gas protection. The distributed DC Bus is located in space saving, modular Rittal cabinets.
This solution works best in industries such as oil and gas, tire & rubber, mining, food and beverage and metals.

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.
