Important Introductory Information
2.1 Demands on the operator This description comprises necessary information on the proper use of the device described therein. It is intended for technically qualified personnel only. Qualified personnel are personnel nominated by the person responsible for plant safety to take the necessary action to prevent possible dangerous situations arising. Prerequisites for this nomination are appropriate training and i nstruction as well as experience and knowledge of the relevant standards, requirements, accident prevention regulations, and operating conditions (Definition of Skilled Personnel according to IEC 364).
Page 4 Rev. no. 1 / 2005
Operating instructions
____________________________________________________________________ 2.2 Importance of these instructions These operating instructions explain the prescribed use of the device. They contain instructions for installing, connecting, operating and maintaining MSA family rectifiers which must be observed. You will only be able to ensure that the unit will work properly as described in section 1.1 if you follow these instructions. 2.3 Transport and storage Each rectifier is delivered in separate packaging. If storage is necessary it should be in a dry, wellventilated room. The unit should be covered, and high temperature fluctuations should be avoided to prevent condensation. 2.4 Operator’s responsibilities The operator is obliged to convey the unit to the installation site immediately after delivery and to ensure that it is correctly fitted or stored. Furthermore, he must ensure that the rectifier is not damaged by incorrect installation or operation. 2.5 Safety notice The information is for the safety of both the operating personnel and of the described product.
Hazardous voltage: Non-observance can lead to death, serious injury and damage to property. • Always disconnect the supply voltage before assembling and disassembling the device and when changing fuses. attention to the relevant accident • Pay prevention and safety regulations applicable in your country. • Check whether the nominal voltage of the device corresponds with the local mains voltage before commissioning the device. •

Emergency cut-off devices must remain effective in all operating modes. The deactivation of an emergency cut-off device must not induce an uncontrolled restart. Terminals must be covered. Check that protective conductor connections (safety ground connections) work properly after mounting!
2.6 Structural device modifications The operator must not modify the rectifier in any way without the consent of the manufacturer. This applies to both mechanical and electrical modifications such as the installation of components which have not been approved by the manufacturer. The warranty will be invalidated by such alterations. 2.7 Cleaning the rectifier How regularly the rectifier needs to be cleaned depends heavily on its operating conditions. We strongly recommend that the rectifier is not operated close to machines or installations creating a lot of dust. The air ventilation slots should be cleaned regularly to prevent them from being clogged by foreign bodies, although the inside of the rectifier itself should not need cleaning under normal operating conditions as the integrated ventilation system should provide sufficient air flow. The operator should only ever clean the outside of the unit. Should internal cleaning of the rectifier become necessary due to heavy contamination, which may lead to failures, send the rectifier back to the manufacturer for cleaning and testing. The same applies if fluid gets into the rectifier or in case of dew. In this case, immediately disconnect the rectifier from the mains and do not restart it until the manufacturer has checked it.

____________________________________________________________________
3 Description of MSA family Rectifiers MSA family switching mode power supply rectifiers stand out because of their compact design, high control accuracy, low ripple, low weight, and a significantly improved efficiency compared with the previous 50 Hz thyristor or diode technology. In contrast with other electronic rectifiers, such as thyristor rectifiers, the ripple of MSA family power supplies is constant. Thus, MSA family rectifiers generate high quality direct currents. As the operating frequency of the switching mode power supply rectifiers is higher than 20 kHz, the wound components, such as main transformer and smoothing filter, as well as the capacitors can be much smaller while generating the same output power. Another outstanding characteristic is the improved dynamic response of the output values which allow set point value deviations at the DC voltage output to be adjusted within milliseconds. These specific control properties make the output variables very stable. The control accuracy of the internal closed-loop control amounts to just 1% of the nominal voltage or current. The current and voltage ripple values of the DC output are below 1% of the nominal values across the entire control range, unless indicated otherwise in the technical specification (cf. section 11.1). Output voltage and current can be adjusted by means of potentiometers connected to the rectifier according to the connection diagram or by an external control voltage of 0 to 10 V within a range of 0 to 100 %. Alternatively, if the rectifier is operated in remote control mode with a process control computer or PLC, the output voltage or current can be adjusted within a range of 0 to 100 % of the nominal values by means of a 0 to 10 V DC signal.
American Plating Power, LLC.
A pulse inhibitor enables you to operate the rectifier in standby mode, in which the rectifier remains ready for operation without generating an output voltage. In order to comply with the relevant safety regulations, energised subassemblies have been separated from low voltage assemblies with reinforced insulation.

Technology
4.1
Basic information
MSA family MSA 1500 rectifiers are DC power supplies designed on the basis of switching-mode power supply technology. The internal control electronics enable very short adjustment times in case of sudden load variations. 4.2
Switching-mode power supply technology Switching-mode power supply technology rectifies the mains voltage and supplies it to a DC link consisting of capacitors and connected to a high frequency inverter, which converts the DC link voltage into an AC voltage of a higher frequency. This AC voltage is transferred to the transformer primary circuit, which adjusts the voltage and implements electrical isolation. The secondary voltage of the transformer is rectified and transferred via an output filter to the rectifier output.
Page 6 Rev. no. 1 / 2005
Operating instructions
____________________________________________________________________ 4.3 High-current circuit The high-current circuit includes the transformer secondary circuit, a high-current rectifier and a smoothing filter. The high-current rectifier consists of rapid highcurrent diodes. The received DC voltage is transferred to the rectifier output via a smoothing filter which filters the superimposed highfrequency AC voltage of the high-current rectifier. This allows a low-ripple DC voltage to be applied to the rectifier output.
Warning: If the cross section you have chosen is too small, the interconnecting cable may become overheated. If several interconnecting cables are used, the nominal current carrying capacity of the individual conductor must be multiplied by 0.7, unless the regulations applicable in your country require even further capacity reductions. Both ends of the interconnecting cable must be equipped with cable lugs to ensure a high contact stability. Ask your cable supplier for the cable lug and crimping types to be used.
4.4
Warning: insufficient or incorrect connection causes overheating – fire risk!
Closed-loop control
MSA family MSA 1500 rectifiers are equipped with current and voltage controllers. Owing to the internal connection, the controller limiting the output variable is always the active one. Therefore, you can only preset or adjust current and voltage set point values using the potentiometers. See also section 6.3.
4.5 Direct current output The DC output is implemented either with polarity terminals, screw terminals or copper bars. The polarity (+ or -) of the DC output is marked either by colours (i.e. red for the positive and blue for the negative pole) or with the symbols + and -, depending on the design. The positive pole of the direct current output is usually connected to the anode and the negative pole to the cathode of the electroplating tank. The load (resistive load or electroplating tank) is connected to the rectifier by means of an interconnecting cable with a cross section that corresponds to the nominal current of the rectifier output. This interconnecting cable is not included in delivery with the rectifier. You can determine the cross section of the interconnecting cable using the table provided in section 12.4. However, you can only find the current carrying capacity of the cable you want to use by asking you cable supplier.
American Plating Power, LLC.
Clean the connecting points at DC output and load before connecting the cable and check them regularly. Temperature deviations and mechanical motion, such as tank movements, can loosen the interconnecting cable. Warning: Loose interconnecting cables cause overheating – fire risk!

Installation
5.1
Electrical connection and adjustments
MSA family MSA 1500 rectifiers, designed as plug-in or module versions are meant to be installed in existing cabinets. In order to put the rectifier into operation connect it according to the circuit diagrams to all required mains and control lines. The permissible voltages at the input terminals must not be exceeded. Cables for the DC output must have a cross section that corresponds to the rectifier’s nominal direct current. Install the cables inside the control cabinet in such a way that the cooling air supply for the rectifiers remains unrestricted.
Page 7 Rev. no. 1 / 2005
Operating instructions
____________________________________________________________________
Connect the rectifier to the mains according to the regulations of the local utility company. If a cabinet containing several rectifiers has been delivered, you normally only have to connect the DC lines directly to the rectifiers. All other lines, such as mains, signal and control lines, are led to the corresponding terminal strips in the control cabinet. Refer to the control cabinet documentation for the assignment of these terminal strips. If the rectifiers are delivered as plug-in units or modules for cabinet installation, make sure that the cooling air supply for the individual rectifiers is unrestricted when fitting them into the cabinet. Connect the load (resistive load, electroplating tank) according to the instructions given in section 4.5.

6.1 Initial inspection Before actually commissioning the rectifier or cabinet, check the following items: • • • • •
5.2 Air supply / cooling system In order to ensure that the rectifier is sufficiently cooled, neither air intake nor discharge should be impeded. Also take measures to avoid exhaust air building up in the area surrounding the rectifier or cabinet, as an insufficient air supply may lead to failures and damage the rectifier. The temperature of the supply air must never exceed 35°C. Sufficient cooling can only be guaranteed over a long period of time if the cooling air contains only very few dust particles. Dust deposits on the heat sinks may cause insufficient cooling of the rectifier and thus induce operational failures requiring that the manufacturer must carry out internal cleaning.

Commissioning
• •
• •
Check whether the device is clean. Check for and repair any damage. Check the screwed connections for correct connection and tighten them if necessary. Check the rectifier earth connection. Check whether all fuses are inserted and all motor circuit breakers, if any, are switched on. Check that the fuses are tight. Compare the settings of existing motor circuit breakers with the settings indicated on the circuit diagram. Check that the voltage levels at the input bars and the terminals are correct. Check the interconnecting cable to the load for sufficient cross section, correct installation and correct polarity. Warning: Fire risk.
6.2 Starting the device As these rectifiers are equipped with only a few operating elements, handling MSA family devices is very easy and does not require any special technical knowledge. After the rectifier has been expertly installed as per section 5 of these operating instructions, the device is ready for operation. The rectifier reaches its set point value via a soft start function after you have started the device either by remote control or with the integrated mains switch.
Page 8 Rev. no. 1 / 2005
Operating instructions
____________________________________________________________________ Owing to the controller characteristic (cf. Fig. 1) you must select the current and voltage set point values to not equal zero to receive a signal at the device output. Moreover, when operating the device by remote control, you should consider that the DC voltage output is released by setting the pulse inhibitor. Set the pulse inhibitor by closing a floating contact between pins 13 and 14 of terminal strip X2. The internal fans will keep running for a short time after the mains supply has been disconnected. 6.3 Adjusting the set point values The set point values can be adjusted either with of potentiometers using the internal reference voltage of 10 V, or with external analogue control voltages in a range of 0 to 10 V. Connect the potentiometers or the external control voltage to terminal strip X2 of the rectifier according to the connection diagram. Also check the connection diagram for the cabinet in the case of completely wired cabinets containing several rectifiers. It is possible to operate the rectifier current or voltage controller by adjusting the current and voltage set point values accordingly.
If you want to control the rectifier in current control mode, you must set the voltage controller to the unit’s nominal value or the maximum permissible process voltage. The set point value of the current controller will then be adjusted to the required process current. If you want to operate the rectifier in the voltage control mode, you must set the set point value of the current controller to the unit’s nominal value or the maximum permissible short circuit current, depending on the process/product. The set point value of the voltage controller will t hen be adjusted to the required process voltage. The rectifier’s voltage/current characteristic determines the limits for its maximum output current or voltage. The output voltage is provided as an actual signal between terminals 9 and 10 of terminal strip X2. The actual signal ranges between 0 and the nominal output voltage of the device. This actual voltage is directly connected to the DC voltage output of the rectifier. Furthermore, at terminal strip X2, terminals 15 and 16, there is a standardized reference signal 0 upto 10 V which is physically separated from the DC voltage output. The reference signal can be loaded with 1mA. The output current is provided as reference signal of 0 to 10 V between terminals 11 and 12 of terminal strip X2. The reference signal is physically separated from the DC voltage output. A value of 10 V corresponds to the nominal current if not indicated otherwise on the rating plate. (Fig. 1)

Service and Maintenance
General notes on maintenance
MSA family rectifiers do not normally require much maintenance. How often maintenance does need to be carried out depends on local operating conditions. The fans will wear out in the course of time and must then be replaced. The rectifier must be switched off and allowed to cool down before maintenance begins. Please check the conductors to the load and all contact or connecting points at regular intervals (overheating risk).

General Safety Measures
•
Never open the casing as hazardous voltage components are installed inside. You may suffer an electric shock!
•
None of the components inside the casing requires maintenance. Thus, opening the enclosure is not necessary and is strictly prohibited.
•
•
Replace the external fuses at the front or rear of the device, if any, with fuses of the same type only. The input values must not exceed the limit values listed in the technical specification as otherwise the unit will be damaged.
•
If fluid gets into the rectifier, immediately disconnect it from the power supply to avoid damage.
•
In case of dew, the rectifier must be immediately disconnected from the power supply. (Danger of damage)
•
Do not cover external heat sinks, if any, as they heat up during operation. Warning: Fire risk.
American Plating Power, LLC.
•
Clean the openings of the enclosure and fans or heat sinks from the outside at regular intervals. The cleaning extent depends on the dust emitted in the area around the power supply.
•
The protective earth terminal must be connected to the power supply’s protective earth conductor (yellow-green wire) to ensure sufficient protection for the operator.
•
Erect and connect the rectifier or the cabinet according to the EMC regulations; for example, supply and control lines must be installed separately.
•
Connect portable rectifiers equipped with a plug only to sockets installed according to the applicable regulations.
•
The local mains voltage must correspond with the operational voltage stated on the rating plate.
•
The reference potential for the set point values is connected to the ‘-‘ (negative) output of the device.
•
Avoid a short circuit directly at the output of the rectifier as, for example, metallic objects falling down may cause sparking and consequently a fire.
•
Observe the relevant electrical safety regulations applicable in your country when installing and operating the device.
•
Always execute installation work in off-load conditions, for example, when connecting the output terminals of the device.
•
Ensure suff icient protection electrostatic discharge.
•
If the mains feeder and/or the mains plug are obviously damaged, immediately disconnect the unit from the mains.
•
Warning: incorrect installation of the interconnecting cable to the load may cause a fire. Check the interconnecting cables regularly, and keep the contact points clean.

[email protected]
9.2 Mains fuse tripping If one of the fuses at the socket outlet trips, it may be for one of the following reasons: •
9.4 The device supplies neither current nor voltage
The fuse ampere rating is too low for the nominal current consumption of the rectifier. The fuse is overloaded if further loads are connected to this socket outlet circuit. The rectifier was overloaded. The mains voltage was too low. There was an internal short circuit.
•
The pulse inhibitor has been set. Wire the jumper or contact to terminals 13 and 14 of terminal strip X2.
•
The set point value for either current or voltage controller is missing. Both set point values must be higher than zero.
9.5 The device does not reach the set current •
The device is being operated in voltagelimiting mode; the resistance of the load is too high.
9.6 The device does not reach the set voltage •
The device is being operated in currentlimiting mode; the resistance of the load is too low.
If a sufficiently rated fuse responds again immediately after restarting the rectifier, send the device back to the manufacturer for testing.
10 9.3 Periodic interruptions in operation Periodic interruptions in operation and consequent restarts indicate the response of the overheating protection. If this is the case, check whether the cooling air supply is sufficient or whether the rectifier needs to cleaned. If the periodic interruptions are caused by the rectifier overheating due to heavy contamination of the cooling components, it is possible to operate the device temporarily with a reduced output power (to finish a running process for instance.)
