Safety instructions

What this chapter contains

This chapter contains the safety instructions you must follow when installing,
operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or damage may occur to the drive, the motor or driven equipment. Read the safety instructions before you work on the unit.

To which products this chapter applies

The information is valid for the whole range of the product DCS800, the converter
modules DCS800-S0x size D1 to D7, field exciter units DCF80x, etc. like the Rebuild Kit DCS800-R00-9xxx.

Usage of warnings and notes

There are two types of safety instructions throughout this manual: warnings and
notes. Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or death and/or damage to the equipment, and advise on how to avoid the danger. Notes draw attention to a particular condition or fact, or give information on a subject. The warning symbols are used as follows:
Dangerous voltage warning warns of high voltage which can cause physical injury or death and/or damage to the equipment.
5
General danger warning warns about conditions, other than those caused by electricity, which can result in physical injury or death and/or damage to the equipment.
Electrostatic sensitive devices warning warns of electrostatic discharge which can damage the equipment.

Grounding

These instructions are intended for all who are responsible for the
grounding of the drive. Incorrect grounding can cause physical injury, death and/or equipment malfunction and increase electromagnetic interference.
WARNING!
Ground the drive, motor and adjoining equipment to ensure personnel safety in all circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and pick-up.
Make sure that grounding conductors are adequately sized and marked as required by safety regulations.
In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to protective earth (PE ).
Minimize EMC emission and make a 360° high frequency grounding (e.g. conductive sleeves) of screened cable entries at the cabinet lead-through plate.
Do not install a drive equipped with an EMC filter to an ungrounded power system or a high resistance-grounded (over 30 ohms) power system.
Note:
• Power cable shields are suitable as equipment grounding conductors only when adequately sized to meet safety regulations.
As the normal leakage current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC (stated by EN 50178, 5.2.11.1), a fixed protective earth connection is required.

Printed circuit boards and fiber optic cables
These instructions are intended for all who handle the circuit boards
and fiber optic cables. Ignoring the following instructions can cause damage to the equipment.
WARNING! The printed circuit boards contain components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Wear a grounding wrist band when handling the boards. Do not touch the boards unnecessarily.
Use grounding strip:
ABB order no.: 3ADV050035P0001
WARNING! Handle the fiber optic cables with care. When unplugging optic cables, always grab the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends of the fibers with bare hands as the fiber is extremely sensitive to dirt. The minimum allowed bend radius is 35 mm (1.38 in.).

These notes are intended for all who install the drive. Handle the unit
carefully to avoid damage and injury.
Make sure that dust from drilling does not enter the drive when
Ensure sufficient cooling.
Do not fasten the drive by riveting or welding.
WARNING!
DCS800 sizes D4 ... D7: The drive is heavy. Do not lift it alone. Do not lift the unit by the front cover. Place units D4 and D5 only on its back. DCS800 sizes D5 ... D7: The drive is heavy.

Operation

These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation of the drive
or operate the drive. Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death and/or damage to the equipment.
WARNING!
Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure that the motor and all driven equipment are suitable for operation throughout the speed range provided by the drive. The drive can be adjusted to operate the motor at speeds above and below the base speed.
Do not control the motor with the disconnecting device
(disconnecting mains); instead, use the control panel keys
and
, or commands via the I/O board of the drive.
Mains connection You can use a disconnect switch (with fuses) to disconnect the electrical components of the drive from the mains for installation and maintenance work. The type of disconnect switch used must be as per EN 60947-3, Class B, so as to comply with EU regulations, or a circuit-breaker type which switches off the load circuit by means of an auxiliary contact causing the breaker's main contacts to open. The mains disconnect must be locked in its "OPEN" position during any installation and maintenance work.
EMERGENCY STOP buttons must be installed at each control desk and at all other control panels requiring an emergency stop function. Pressing the STOP button on the control panel of the drive will neither cause an emergency stop of the motor, nor will the drive be disconnected from any dangerous potential. To avoid unintentional operating states, or to shut the unit down in case of any imminent danger according to the standards in the safety instructions it is not sufficient to merely shut down the drive via signals "RUN", "drive OFF" or "Emergency Stop" respectively "control panel" or "PC tool".
Intended use The operating instructions cannot take into consideration every possible case of configuration, operation or maintenance. Thus, they mainly give such advice only, which is required by qualified personnel for normal operation of the machines and devices in industrial installations. If in special cases the electrical machines and devices are in­tended for use in non-industrial installations - which may require stricter safety regulations (e.g. protection against contact by children or similar) - these additional safety measures for the installation must be provided by the customer during assembly.

How to detect a faulty thyristor

Thyristor problems can be noticed differently:

A fuse is blown

This is an indication, that a strong overcurrent has happened due to one of the
following reasons: An internal short circuit between the phases (line side) because of a defective
thyristor (short circuit inside a thyristor from anode to cathode).
An internal short circuit between the phases (line side) because of circulating
current in a 4-Q converter (malfunction of the control electronics, no thyristor defective).
An external short circuit at the DC terminals of the converter without sufficient
impedance.
A commutation fault during generating (active braking with high current, high
EMF and with low AC voltage) of a 4-Q converter.
Note:
In case of parallel fuses: If one of the parallel fuses is blown, all parallel fuses have to be changed. The ‘undamaged’ fuses might be ‘half-blown’ and will blow with the next high current.

DC-current pulses measured by an oscilloscope

Connect an oscilloscope to the fixed AO I-act (X4:9/10 on the SDCS-CON-4 or
X4:5/6 on the SDCS-IOB-3) and check for the proper amount of current pulses:
Six current pulses in positive direction
There should be six current pulses in positive direction.
In case of a 4-Q converter also the six current pulses for the negative direction have to be checked.

Thyristor diagnosis

Also the thyristor diagnosis provided by the firmware can be used:
Switch the drive to local mode (DriveWindow, DriveWindow Light, DCS Control
Panel or local I/O).
Start the thyristor diagnosis by means of ServiceMode (99.06) = ThyDiagnosis
and set On and Run within 20 s.
During the thyristor diagnosis the main contactor will be closed and the
thyristors are checked. The field current is not released while the thyristor diagnosis is active and thus the motor should not turn.
When the thyristor diagnosis is finished check Diagnosis (9.11) for details.

Ripple monitor

The ripple monitor indicates that the ripple of the DC current is much higher than
normal. In such a case, most often one thyristor does not work. It’s missing current contribution causes a deep dip in the direct current. The structure of the current loop (current controller) will force the other thyristors to compensate the dip by a certain overcurrent in order to keep the average current constant. Such a compensation results in a ripple monitoring fault during motoring mode operation with   90°. The reason for a current less thyristor may be:
Fault Tracing Thyristors
Page 24
24
A fuse has disconnected one of the six thyristors. This is possible only for
converters with 900 ... 5200 A (six internal branch fuses). A converter with three external fuses stops working completely at once when one of the three AC input fuses interrupts a phase input of the converter.
A thyristor does not get firing pulses or does not react to firing pulses. The current controller may be totally mismatched to the DC load. The AC mains network is causing that fault message. In this case,
asymmetrical phase shift, uneven phase voltage or critical designed power factor correction equipment or harmonic reduction equipment can be the reason.

How to find a faulty thyristor

If a blown fuse is suspected in the converter, the problem is caused most often by
a faulty thyristor. To make sure, that a thyristor is the reason and needs to be exchanged fault tracing must be done in two different ways, depending on the size of the converter.
In general, make sure, that all safety instructions, given within this manual or within the safety instructions, related to the machine or the application itself, are obeyed.

Converters size D1 to D4 (20...1000 A)

These converters require semiconductor fuses in the 3 AC lines.
The converter must be disconnected from the mains. One motor armature cable should be disconnected from the converter.

Blown fuses

Using the OHM function of a normal multimeter, measurements must be made
from each AC terminal to each DC terminal (U1 to C1, V1 to C1, W1 to C1, U1 to D1, V1 to D1 and W1 to D1; see picture Anti-parallel B6-bridges with
branching fuses on page 45). Normally, every measurement should show high
resistance (> 1 k).
Target: find a short circuit, indicated by low resistance ( <1 ) (destroyed
thyristor).
If the converter is designed with half-bridge thyristor modules, then a module
consists of two anti-parallel thyristors. In this case it is sufficient to know which thyristor pair or module has a defective thyristor because the complete module must be replaced.
After a thyristor module is replaced, the above mentioned measurement should
be done another time to make sure that all faulty thyristors have been detected!
Note:
The RC circuit could also cause 0 result for a short time. The measurement, showing less resistance than 1 should be made a second time with test leads applied to the terminals with opposite polarity; if this measurement shows the same result, one or two thyristors located in that path are faulty; they need to be replaced.

Page 25
25

Converters size D5, D6, and D7 (900...5200 A)

These converters are equipped with fuses in the branches of the
power part. The converter must be disconnected from the mains.

Blown fuses

In case of a blown fuse, the faulty thyristor or the faulty pair of
thyristors are already isolated at one side from the others and therefore the faulty branch is known (see picture Anti-parallel
B6-bridges with branching fuses on page 45).
The OHM test should be performed, when the thyristor is still
clamped. Outside the converter a special thyristor clamping device is needed.
For 4-Q converters with anti-parallel thyristors or BCT’s: The selection of a forward or reverse thyristor or BCT
(Bidirectional-Controlled-Thyristor) is done during the disassembly. Continue with related part Exchange of Thyristors for Size D5
After a thyristor was replaced, the OHM test should be done
another time to make sure that all faulty thyristors have been detected! If the motor is still connected to the converter the result of the measurement may be wrong.
, D6 or D7 section Find faulty thyristor.

Ripple monitor

If the ripple monitor fault occurred, a fault tracing as described
above must be carried out: Check the fuses and the thyristors, according to the statements
before.
If the power section seems to be ok, but still one or more
thyristors don’t take current, something went wrong in between the firing pulse generation and the thyristor’s gate; in this case check:
Is a firing pulse present on the primary side of the firing
pulse transformer?
Is a firing pulse present on the secondary side of the
firing pulse transformer?
Is the firing pulse transferred to the gate of the thyristor?
Are there all electrical connections still healthy?
Can the thyristor be fired with the applied firing pulse? Is
the pulse form of the firing pulse identical at all measuring positions?
Check the settings of the current controller. Check the AC mains network by taking recordings of the line
voltage and current at all 3 phases at the same time.

Handling the Semiconductors

General Instruction how to handle the Semiconductors

Thyristor modules, busbars and fuses have to be mounted with the correct torque
using a torque screw driver or torque wrench. In converters sizes D5 (900 ... 2000 A), D6 (1900 ... 3000 A) and D7 (2050 ... 5200 A) the mounting force is indicated by an indicating spring welded to the mounting clamp, which is inside the unit.
Always mark suspected damaged components clearly after removing them from
the circuit, to avoid confusion with "good" components.
When removing a damaged semiconductor, write down how and where it was installed (direction, location, connected gate leads and with BCT’s the position of the gate connectors).
Check that the new and old components have the same type designation or that the new component can replace the old one. A semiconductor can be replaced by different compatible semiconductor according to the codes in the manufacturers' table.
Semiconductor components are high-precision products. All unnecessary used
tools and objects might damage the easily dented and scratched surfaces of the semiconductors.
1. Keep new semiconductors as long as possible in their original packages.
2. Use protective gloves if possible.
3. Clean work area and hands frequently.
4. Use good illumination.

Installation of "Disc Type" thyristor in converters size D5 (900...2000 A)

All DCS800 converters sizes D5/D6/D7 are equipped with disk type thyristors. The
structure of the "Disc type" semiconductor component is such that it requires a certain compression force to operate. The prevention of overheating of the component essentially depends on a good heat dissipation between the semiconductor and the conducted heat sink. It is thus important that all joints have good thermal and electrical conduction.

Required Tools

Special tools or material needed in addition to standard tools for the exchange of
thyristor modules:
Torx screwdrivers: TX10, TX20, TX25 Torque spanner for electrical connections: 13 Nm (M8)
25 Nm (M10) 50 Nm (M12)
Screws are metric type; use appropriate nuts. 17 mm ring spanner for fuse and busbar connections. 17 mm ring spanner for press clamp. Tissue paper / solvent (e.g. ethanol). Thermal joint compound: type BECHEM-RHUS SU 2
(grease)
Manufacturer: Carl Bechem GmbH, 58089 Hagen ABB Service: GHSN 390 001 P 0001
Disassembly tool 3ADT 621 023 P1
Note:
For more detailed information about the wiring of the power part, see Hardware Manual.
Therefore strict observance of the build in instructions given below is of utmost
importance. Make sure that the new component can replace the old one in accordance with the spare part list (see Appendix A
Semiconductors and heat sinks are to be handled carefully to avoid scratches and other damage. Avoid touching the contact surfaces. Do not lift the semiconductor with the gate wire. Do not lift the semiconductor by touching the current contact surfaces. Do not damage the welding flange or the contact surface.
Before you start work, disconnect the converter completely from the power supply then check the voltage free condition and make sure, everything is located in an electrically and mechanically safe condition!

Install new thyristor

1. Ensure that the new thyristor is of the correct type (see Appendix A). Keep the semiconductor and its surroundings clean. If necessary clean them with a piece of tissue paper moistened with solvent. Note: Do not touch the polished surfaces of the thyristor.
2. Clean the polished surfaces of the semiconductor with a piece of tissue paper moistened with solvent. Dry all surfaces. Spread a thin layer of heat conducting paste on both sides of the thyristor, if necessary use a rubber spatula.
3. Connect the gate leads if possible.
4. Clean all parts with tissue paper moistened with solvent, which have had or will have contact with the thyristor or each other (lower / upper heat sink). Do not clean the surfaces of grease too thoroughly, because the aluminum surfaces will oxidize in a few seconds. Dry all surfaces.
5. Centre the thyristors by means of the spring pins. Note: Be sure that the thyristor is installed in the right direction. Do not pinch or cut the gate leads or any other cable.
6. Turn the thyristor so that the gate leads point in the right direction.

Installation of "Disc Type" thyristor in converters size D6 (1900...3000 A)

All DCS800 converters sizes D5/D6/D7 are equipped with disk type thyristors. The
structure of the "Disc type" semiconductor component is such that it requires a certain compression force to operate. The prevention of overheating of the component essentially depends on a good heat dissipation between the semiconductor and the conducted heat sink. It is thus important that all joints have good thermal and electrical conduction.

Required Tools

Special tools or material needed in addition to standard tools for the exchange of
thyristor modules:
Torx screwdrivers: TX10, TX20, TX25 Torque spanner for electrical connections: 13 Nm (M8)
25 Nm (M10) 50 Nm (M12)
Screws are metric type; use appropriate nuts. 17 mm ring spanner for fuse and busbar connections. 24 mm ring spanner for press clamp. Tissue paper / solvent (e.g. ethanol). Thermal joint compound: type BECHEM-RHUS SU 2
(grease)
Manufacturer: Carl Bechem GmbH, 58089 Hagen ABB Service: GHSN 390 001 P 0001
Disassembly tool DCF 1066721 P1
Note:
For more detailed information about the wiring of the power part, see Hardware Manual.
Therefore strict observance of the build in instructions given below is of utmost
importance. Make sure that the new component can replace the old one in accordance with the spare part list (see Appendix A)
Semiconductors and heat sinks are to be handled carefully to avoid scratches and other damage. Avoid touching the contact surfaces. Do not lift the semiconductor with the gate wire. Do not lift the semiconductor by touching the current contact surfaces. Do not damage the welding flange or the contact surface.
Before you start work, disconnect the converter completely from the power supply then check the voltage free condition and make sure, everything is located in an electrically and mechanically safe condition!

How to remove the converter fans in frames D1 to D3 (two fans)

Converters types DCS800-S01-0045-0x to DCS800-S02-0350-0x using two 115
VAC fans. Depending on the supply voltage they are either connected in series, for 230 VAC. or in parallel, for 115 VAC:
Fan configuration D1 to D3
In case a fan fails there are different approaches due to the incoming voltage.

230 VAC:

115 VAC:

With a supply voltage of 230 VAC fans M55 and M56 are connected in series. Consequently both fans have to be of the same manufacturer and type. Thus it is not possible to change only the broken fan. In this case both fans have to be changed.
With a supply voltage of 115 VAC all fans are connected in parallel. Thus it is possible to change only the broken fan.
