 Drive is to be connected with ground/PE by separate grounding wire.
 1-phase power supply should be connected to L1/L, L2/N.
 3-phase power supply should be connected to L1, L2 and L3.

 Phase sequence of power supply is not important and cable doesn’t have to be a shielded.
 Protective grounding of motor is connected to drive
 Motor cable should be connected to U, V, W.

- Rated voltage of motor 400/660, Delta connection

 Inverter Power supply 1*230 VAC

- Rated voltage of motor 230/400, Delta connection

 Motor cable must be a shielded cable to fulfill EMC requirements. Example of cables to be

used are RKFK, Ölflex Classic 100 CY, FKKJ-EMC, or similar.

 Shield of the motor cable should be connected to ground/earth in both ends. On motor side

an EMC-gland is to be used.

 Shield of motor cable is to be connected to ground terminal in the drive itself. For IP20

drives the shield can instead be clamped to the mounting plate with a clip.

 Motor must also be well attached into the mechanical frame of the machinery and have the

same potential as the electrical cabinet. Separate earth connection might be necessary.

 Motor cable should avoid to be installed close to telephone-, network- or signal wiring.

Minimum distance is 30 cm.

4.6 Brake transistor and external brake resistor

If a larger amount of regenerate power is being produced than the BFI can handle at stop function AC
Flux Braking can be used. Means that motor is being over excitated during stop and used as brake
resistor. Note that heat of motor will increase and it only works during deceleration. Put parameter P­05=3 to activate AC Flux braking.
If AC Flux braking is not enough BFI from Size2 has a dynamic brake transistor and an optional
external braking resistor can be connected to +DC and BR when required. The brake resistor circuit
should be protected by a suitable thermal protection circuit. The –DC, +DC and BR connections are
blanked off by plastic tabs when sent from the factory. The plastic tabs can be removed if/when
required.
Table shows models with built-in brake transistor suggestion of brake resistors.

- Internal resistor, OD-BR100-BFI is mounted inside BFI IP20 and is activated and

protected from overload by setting of P34=1.

- External resistor must always be used together with a slow external overload

protection and P34=2. Table shows setting current of the external overload
protection.

5.11 Vector control with standard induction motor

Vector control is a built in function that gives additional torque at low speed and also makes
motor speed constant even though load of the motor fluctuates.

Vector control is based on a mathematical description of motor characteristic. BFI-E3 can by this
calculated actual speed of the motor. Vector control is activated by default and based on a motor
with the same kW as the BFI. With another motor type or if the performance is to be optimized
an auto tuning can be done. This is done by setting of parameters below:

 Open up parameters P-14=201
 Rated motor voltage in P-07 [V].
 Rated motor current in P-08 [A].
 Rated motor frequency in P-09 [Hz].
 Industrial application in P-13=0.
 Standard Induction motor with P-51=0.
 Start auto tuning by setting P-52=1, it starts immediately when parameter is changed.

Autotuning can ONLY be started by setting P52=1 on the Keypad!

When auto tuning is done measured values are stored in parameter P-55, P-56 and P-57. Auto
tuning only needs to be done once.

If motor creates strange sound, weak torque performance and speed is not stable, change Gain of
the speed controller, P-53. Increased value gives faster response but increase risk for instability.

5.12 Current limit control

Parameter P-54 (default setting is150%) contain the maximum amount of current to be sent to
motor. If current limit is reached BFI will try to decrease motor current by adjusting output
frequency. During constant speed output frequency will automatically decrease and during
acceleration the acceleration time will automatically increase.

A too large setting of P-54 might cause trip of BFI because it does not get enough time to make
the output frequency adjustment.

5.13 Tuning of PM-motor

Always make an auto tuning of a PM-motor, see Vector control, 5.10. Also set following
parameters:

 Open up parameters P-14=201
 Rated motor frequency in P-09 [Hz]=Rated speed [rpm] x Number of poles/120
 PM-motor Speed control, P-51=2
 Start auto tuning by setting P-52=1, it starts immediately when parameter is changed.

Check after auto tuning that measured resistance and inductance values correspond towards
datasheet of the motor. To improve torque performance at low speed, increase P-11 carefully.

The Energy Optimization function is designed to maximize the energy savings achievable when
the motor and drive is not operating at its rated load. Function works best at constant speed, as
the motor voltage is reduced, the slip of the motor may increase, resulting in a small drop in
motor speed, which can make the PI control unstable.

6.3 EMC-filter

BFI contains an internal EMC-filter connected to earth. BFI with built-in EMC-filter must never be
used in systems were the 3-phase supplying net don’t have a neutral connected to earth, normally
called IT-net. The BFI can be damaged. IT-net is normally being used in all types of boats and also
some parts of Norway.
In the rest of Europe TN-net is most common were EMC-filter can be used.
The EMC-filter on BFI IP20 can be disconnected by removing a screw on the left side of the BFI. For
BFI IP66 the screw to be removed is located on right side of input terminals L1, L2 and L3 and is
marked “EMC”.
