IntelliVAC Features
A wide range of supply voltage (110 – 240 V AC 50/60 Hz,
110 - 250 V DC) allows implementation in multiple applications
Consistent vacuum contactor pick-up time (at a given supply
voltage) ensures repeatable performance
Selectable vacuum contactor drop-out time improves
coordination with upstream power fuses
Electronic altitude compensation (400 A only) eliminates
mechanical compensation required for altitudes above 1,000
meters (800 A contactors include a user-friendly altitude
adjustment)
Power loss ride-through (TDUV) allows the vacuum contactor
to remain closed during short power loss (may require an
optional external capacitor, dependant on ride-through time)
IntelliVAC Versions
Configuration
IntelliVAC is easily configured for a wide variety of medium
voltage motor and feeder control applications. It is configured
using DIP switches, located within the enclosure (front side).
Please refer to Chapter 4 for information.
Firmware
IntelliVAC has firmware stored in flash EEPROM; therefore, this
may be updated in the field (if necessary). The IntelliVAC board
firmware is updated using the mini-DIN connector, which is
accessible inside the enclosure.
TA = Ambient Temperature
Refer to Chapter 6 for suitable EMC filter needed to meet CE requirements.
Also refer to Chapter 3 for EMC filter installation guidelines.
Please consult Factory for DC input current ratings.
Includes idle current.
\ Ensure compatibility of IntelliVAC input ratings with those of circuit components activating these inputs.
Consider means of isolating/loading these signals, as required (using interposing relays or load resistors.)
Consult factory for assistance, if needed.

Wiring Guidelines The IntelliVAC can be applied with two- or three-wire control
Electrically Held circuits. The control system utilized will determine the configuration
Contactors of the input wiring. Consider the following input and output for the
type of control used:
Note:
1. When used with electrically held contactors, the IntelliVAC
allows close commands every six seconds. This is to ensure the
rated contactor duty cycle is not exceeded.
2. If a contactor close command is applied and then removed in less
than 500 milliseconds the IntelliVAC may fault. To clear the
fault, module power has to be removed and reapplied.
3. If IntelliVAC powers up configured for an electrically held
contactor, and the vacuum contactor is detected as being closed,
the module will not respond to a close command until the vacuum
contactor auxiliary contact input is in the correct (open) state and
module power is removed and re-applied. (See Chapter 5). This
is true if the power-up safety DIP switch is enabled.
4. In general, a Close command should only be applied 4 seconds
after energizing IntelliVAC.

X Contact status relay closes on request to close. It will open if the contactor auxiliary contact does not close within 200 milliseconds and
module will fault (opening module status relay).
Y For this example, the 130 millisecond drop-out time has been selected. The base drop-out time is 50 milliseconds. The microcontroller delay is
130-50=80 milliseconds.
Wiring Guidelines IntelliVAC control may be used for mechanically latched contactors.
Mechanically Latched A momentary control signal is needed to close the contactor, and a
second momentary control signal is needed to open the contactor.
Contactors
The momentary open/close commands must be at least 50
milliseconds in duration.
Refer to Figure 3.12 for a typical mechanical latch control scheme.
Note:
1. A mechanically latched contactor may already be closed when
power is applied to the IntelliVAC control module.
2. It is permissible to apply an open command to the IntelliVAC
module as power is re-applied.

Time Delay Undervoltage The IntelliVAC can be configured to provide time delay undervoltage
(TDUV) protection. The feature is available to keep electrically held
contactors closed during a voltage dip or brief power loss. This
option may require the addition of a capacitor (see below). Refer to
Chapter 6 for typical capacitor sizing. The capacitor is connected to
terminals 1(-) and 2(+) of the IntelliVAC. (Refer to Figure 3.15.)
Table 4.B of the “Setup and Commissioning” chapter has the dip
switch settings to provide TDUV from 0.2 to 2 seconds. IntelliVAC
can provide TDUV protection without the use of an external
capacitor, as shown in Table 3.D.
If the undervoltage condition persists beyond the set delay time, the
contactor will be opened and an undervoltage fault condition will occur.

X The altitude compensation by DIP switch settings applies to Series E 400 amp vacuum contactors only. All 800 amp contactors are adapted
for altitude by altering the return springs. 800 amp contactors are to be set for 1 to 1000m (001 DIP setting).
Y Available with IntelliVAC using version 2.001 firmware or newer.
Z By-pass contactors in MV SMC applications must be set for 50 millisecond drop-out time.
Refer to Appendix A for typical drop-out time settings used when power fuses are provided by Rockwell Automation.
Introduction The IntelliVAC module has two light emitting diodes (LEDs) and
relay outputs to indicate the status of the contactor and the module.
The LEDs are visible on the front of the module and the relay
outputs are accessed on the bottom front of the module.
Module Status The Module Status is indicated with a Green LED if the module is
functioning properly and has a valid configuration. If the module
powers up with an invalid configuration the LED will be Red,
indicating a Fault condition which will not allow the contactor to
close. If the module powers up properly and experiences an
undervoltage condition when attempting to close the contactor or
while the contactor is closed, the LED will be Red (Fault). If the
contactor does not close properly, a Fault is generated, the LED turns
Red, and inputs are inhibited until the module power is removed and
reapplied. If the processor has an internal fault, the LED will be Red,
the outputs will be cleared, and the processor will be reset. If the
reset is successful, the LED will be Green and the module will respond
to the control inputs. The input command must be toggled before the
module will respond to a new command (rising edge triggered).
Module Status output relay has a normally open contact. The contact
is open during a Fault condition (LED red), and closed during a
healthy condition (LED green).
Series B Design
Additional module states are indicated with the LED as per Table 5.B.
Contactor Status The Contactor Status is indicated with a yellow LED that is off until
a CLOSE command is received. The LED will stay on if the
contactor closes properly, until the contactor is opened.
Series B Design
Additional module states are indicated with the LED as per Table 5.B.

The contactor drop-out times shown in the following table are typical
values used when the power fuses are provided as part of a complete
MV controller from Rockwell Automation. The recommendations
are based on Ferraz Shawmut power fuses. Other fuse types may
require alternate drop-out time settings.
Note: The drop-out time is chosen to be equal to or greater than the intersection of the rated
contactor interrupting current and the fuse melt time curve (except where noted *)
