DC Power Supply 
The DC power supply can be at any voltage in the range defined in the technical 
specifications (the
 Appendix
 of this guide). The supply source must comply with the safety 
aspects of the relevant requirements, in accordance with the most recent version of the 
standard EN60950 or equivalent Low Voltage Directive Standard, all according to the 
applicable over-voltage category. If the power source to the power supply is the AC line 
(through an isolated transformer), safety margins must be considered in order to avoid 
activating the under/over voltage protection due to line variations and/or voltage drop 
under load. 
In addition to the above, the transformer must comply with the safety aspects of the relevant 
requirements in accordance with the most recent version of the standard EN60742 (Isolating 
and Safety Isolating Transformers). The nominal DC bus voltage should be in the following 
range: 
 1.2 V
dcmin
 < Vdc < 0.9 V
dcmax 
where: 
V
dcmin
 is the minimum DC bus 
Vdcmax
 is the maximum DC bus 
The recommended minimum power supply capacitance for a single-phase rectified DC source 
connection is as follows: 
Amplifier Voltage Range 
60 V 
100 V 
Recommended capacitance 
 470 µF 
470 µF 
The transformer power should be calculated such that it will be able to deliver power to the 
amplifier (including peak power) without significant voltage drops. 
The power supply should be located as close as possible to the amplifier. The maximum 
distance is 30 cm (1 foot). While driving high-inertia loads, the power supply must be 
equipped with a shunt regulator; otherwise, the amplifier will be disabled whenever the 
capacitors are charged above the maximum voltage, during motor break down.
