Product Overview
3.2.1.7 Undersized Compressor
Programmable compressor choices allow downscaling of a drive to operate with an undersized compressor or running an oversized drive under extreme conditions. This functionality is useful in applications which are outside the specified appliance area:
High ambient temperature installations.
High altitude installations.
N O T I C E
UL 60730-1 certification restricts for only allowing 1 dedicated compressor combination and does not offer the ability to run an
undersized compressor.
3.2.2 Application Features
The VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 offers custom application functions for enhanced performance.
3.2.2.1 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA)
Automatic motor adaptation (AMA) is an automated test procedure used to measure the electrical characteristics of the motor. AMA provides an accurate electronic model of the motor, allowing the drive to calculate optimal performance and efficiency. Running the AMA procedure also maximizes the automatic energy optimization feature of the drive.
AMA is performed without the motor rotating and without uncoupling the load from the motor.
N O T I C E
Automatic motor adaptation (AMA) is not required when used with a VZH Danfoss compressor.
3.2.2.2 Motor Thermal Protection
Motor thermal protection can be provided via:
Mechanical thermal switch (Klixon type) on a DI.
Built-in electronic relay (ETR).

Design Guide
Product Overview
N O T I C E
Electronic thermal protection (ETR) is used in combination with a VZH Danfoss compressor.
ETR calculates motor temperature by measuring current, frequency, and operating time. The drive shows the thermal load on the motor in percentage and can issue a warning at a programmable overload setpoint. Programmable options at the overload allow the drive to stop the motor, reduce output, or ignore the condition. Even at low speeds, the drive meets I2t Class 20 electronic motor overload standards.
Illustration 8: ETR Characteristics
The X-axis shows the ratio between I
motor
and I
nominal. The Y-axis shows the time in seconds before the ETR cuts off and trips
motor
the drive. The curves show the characteristic nominal speed at twice the nominal speed and at 0.2 x the nominal speed. At lower speed, the ETR cuts off at lower heat due to less cooling of the motor. In that way, the motor is protected from being overheated even at low speed. The ETR feature calculates the motor temperature based on actual current and speed. The calculated tempera­ture is visible as a readout parameter in parameter 16-18 Motor Thermal.
3.2.2.3 Built-in PID Controller
The built-in proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller eliminates the need for auxiliary control devices. The PID controller maintains constant control of closed-loop systems where regulated pressure, flow, temperature, or other system requirements must be maintained.
The drive can use 2 feedback signals from 2 different devices, allowing the system to be regulated with different feedback require­ments. The drive makes control decisions by comparing the 2 signals to optimize system performance.
3.2.2.4 Automatic Restart
The drive can be programmed to restart the motor automatically after a minor trip, such as momentary power loss or fluctuation. This feature eliminates the need for manual resetting and enhances automated operation for remotely controlled systems. The number of restart attempts and the duration between attempts can be limited.
3.2.2.5 Flying Start
Flying start allows the drive to synchronize with an operating motor rotating at up to full speed in either direction. This prevents trips due to overcurrent draw. It minimizes mechanical stress to the system since the motor receives no abrupt change in speed when the drive starts.
3.2.2.6 Frequency Bypass
In some applications, the system can have operational speeds that create a mechanical resonance. This mechanical resonance can generate excessive noise and possibly damage mechanical components in the system. The drive has 4 programmable bypass-fre­quency bandwidths (parameters 4-60 to 4-63). The bandwidths allow the motor to step over speeds that induce system resonance.
3.2.2.7 Motor Preheat
Instead of using a space heater, Danfoss provides motor preheat functionality. To preheat a motor in a cold or damp environment, a small amount of DC current can be trickled continuously into the motor to protect it from condensation and cold starts.

Product Overview
3.2.2.8 Programmable Set-ups
The drive has 2 setups that can be independently programmed. Using multi-setup, it is possible to switch between independently programmed functions activated by digital inputs or a serial command. Independent set-ups are used, for example, to change refer­ences, or for day/night or summer/winter operation, or to control multiple motors. The LCP shows the active setup.
Setup data can be copied from drive to drive by downloading the information from the removable LCP or by using VLT® Motion Control Tool MCT 10.
3.2.2.9 Smart Logic Control (SLC)
Smart logic control (SLC) is a sequence of user-defined actions (see parameter 13-52 SL Controller Action [x]) executed by the SLC when the associated user-defined event (see parameter 13-51 SL Controller Event [x]) is evaluated as TRUE by the SLC.
The condition for an event can be a particular status, or that the output from a logic rule or a comparator operand becomes TRUE. The condition leads to an associated action as shown in
Illustration 9.
Illustration 9: SLC Event and Action
Events and actions are each numbered and linked in pairs (states), which means that when event [0] is fulfilled (attains the value TRUE), action [0] is executed. After the 1st action is executed, the conditions of the next event are evaluated. If this event is evaluated as true, then the corresponding action is executed. Only 1 event is evaluated at any time. If an event is evaluated as false, nothing happens in the SLC during the current scan interval and no other events are evaluated. When the SLC starts, it only evaluates event [0] during each scan interval. Only when event [0] is evaluated as true, the SLC executes action [0] and starts evaluating the next event. It is possible to program 1–20 events and actions.
When the last event/action has been executed, the sequence starts over again from event [0]/action [0]. An example with 4 events/ actions is shown in Illustration 10:

3.3 VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 Protections

The drive has a range of built-in protection functions to protect itself and the compressor during operation. For details of any re­quired setup, in particular compressor parameters, refer to the VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 Programming Guide listed in 1.2
Additional Resources for parameter details and programming.
3.3.1 Mains Input Protection
The VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 offers various built-in input protections for the 3-phase power terminals L1, L2, and L3.
3.3.1.1 Mains Supply Failure, Momentary Dropouts, and Surges
During a mains dropout, the drive keeps running until the internal DC-link voltage drops below the minimum stop level, which is typically around 15% or more below the lowest rated supply voltage of the drive. The mains voltage before the dropout and the motor load determine how long it takes for the drive to coast.
AJ330233902305en-000201 / 130R0596 | 19Danfoss A/S © 2021.05
VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803
Design Guide
The drive withstands mains fluctuations such as:
Transients
Momentary dropouts
Short voltage drops
Surges
The drive automatically compensates for input voltages ±10% from the mains nominal to provide full rated output current. With auto restart selected, the drive automatically powers up after a voltage trip. With flying start parameterization, the drive can syn­chronize to a motor spinning freely after a mains dropout and bring it back to normal operation.
Product Overview
3.3.1.2 Missing Mains Phase Detection
The drive monitors the mains input and reacts according to the programmed configuration if improper conditions, such as missing or detecting too high imbalance between the input phases.
Operation under severe mains imbalance conditions reduces the lifetime of the drive. Conditions are considered severe if the motor is operated continously near nominal load. The default setting issues a warning, but automated derating of the load can also be parameterized among multiple choices.
3.3.2 Output Protection
The VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 offers various built-in protection features for the compressor terminals U, V, and W.
3.3.2.1 Short-circuit Protection (Phase-to-phase)
The drive is protected against short circuits on the output side by current measurements. A short circuit between 2 output phases causes an overcurrent internally and turns off all outputs once the short-circuit current exceeds the maximum limit. A drive that works correctly limits the current it can draw from the supply. Still, it is recommended to use fuses and/or circuit breakers on the supply side as protection if there is a component breakdown inside the drive (1st fault). Mains side fuses are mandatory for UL com­pliance.
N O T I C E
To ensure compliance with IEC 60364 for CE or NEC 2017 for UL, it is mandatory to use fuses and/or circuit breakers.
3.3.2.2 Ground Fault Protection (Output Phase-to-Ground)
The drive is protected against ground faults on all output terminals, U, V, and W.
3.3.2.3 Locked Rotor Detection
Sometimes the rotor is locked because of excessive load or other factors preventing the compressor from rotating. The drive detects the locked rotor situation and trips accordingly to prevent overheating the compressor and the drive.
N O T I C E
In regulation with UL 60730-1 certified products, the locked rotor detection cannot be disabled.
3.3.2.4 Output Phase Loss Detection
The drive monitors all outputs to detect any missing or interrupted connections. If no currents are drawn on any output, it is as­sumed that no motor is connected and will cause this event to be triggered. If a single phase is lost, an output phase missing event is triggered. In both scenarios all outputs are turned off. The missing output phase function is enabled by default to avoid motor damage. Disabling this protection is possible via parameterization.
N O T I C E
In regulation with UL 60730-1 certified products, the output phase loss detection cannot be disabled.
3.3.2.5 Overload Protection
If excessive current outputs or high temperatures are observed for an unwanted period, the protections trip the drive and turn all the outputs off. The time before the drive trips is controlled by parameterization of the monitored protections.
Voltage limit
The inverter turns off to self-protect the internal components when the maximum voltage limits are reached.

tion.
Product Overview
N O T I C E
In regulation wih UL 60730-1 certified products, the output overload conditions, such as motor overload (ETR), cannot be disa-
bled.
3.3.3 Temperature Protection
The VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 offers various built-in temperature protection features for monitoring the operation environ­ment.
3.3.3.1 Minimum and Maximum Temperature Protection
The drive has built-in temperature sensors and reacts immediately to critical temperature limits. At low temperature, a warning will be triggered. If high temperature limits are exceeded, the drive trips on an alarm and turns off all outputs.
3.3.3.2 Automatic Temperature Derating
Automatic temperature derating can be enabled via parameterization to allow continued operation during high temperatures.
3.3.3.3 Temperature-controlled Fans
Sensors in the drive regulate the operation of the internal cooling fans. Often, the cooling fans do not run during low-load opera­tion, when in sleep mode, or in standby. The sensors reduce noise, increase efficiency, and extend the operating life of the fan.
3.3.4 Internal Protection
The VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 offers various built-in internal protection features ensuring that the drive is fully operational.
3.3.4.1 DC Overvoltage Protection
The internal DC-link voltage is increased when the motor acts as a generator. This occurs in the following situations:
The load drives the motor (at constant output frequency from the drive), that is, the load generates energy.
During deceleration (ramp-down) if the moment inertia is high, the friction is low, and the ramp-down time is too short for the energy to be dissipated as a loss in the drive, the motor, and the installation.
Incorrect slip compensation setting may cause higher DC-link voltage.
Back EMF from PM motor operation. If coasted at high RPM, the PM motor back EMF may potentially exceed the maximum voltage tolerance of the drive and cause damage. To prevent this, the maximum output frequency is automatically limited based on an internal calculation. This calculation is based on motor parameterizations.
Monitoring of the internal voltage ensures that the drive trips when the DC-link voltage is too high. The drive turns off the output to protect itself when a certain voltage level is reached. Enabling overvoltage control (OVC) reduces the risk of the drive tripping due to an overvoltage on the DC link. This is controlled by automatically extending the ramp-down time.
3.3.4.2 Internal Faults
The drive has various internal self-monitoring functions which ensure that the drive is fully operational. For warning and alarm de­tails, refer to VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 Programming Guide listed in 1.2 Additional Resources.

3.4 Ecodesign for Power Drive Systems

The Ecodesign Directive is the legislative framework that sets requirements on all energy-related products in the domestic, com­mercial, and industrial sectors throughout Europe.
The Ecodesign requirements are only mandatory within the European Union. These requirements are like the legislative require­ments for energy-related products which apply in North America and Australia.
Terms like Complete Drive Module (CDM) and Power Drive Systems (PDS) are used to define the elements in the design. The objec­tive is to make more efficient and fewer energy consuming designs.

Illustration 13: Drive System Design
The efficiency classes IE0 to IE2 of the drive controller as specified in IEC 61800-9-2 (EN 50598-2) refer to the 90/100 operating point, i.e. 90 % motor stator frequency and 100% torque current (see Illustration 14).
Illustration 14: Operating Point according to IEC 61800-9-2 (EN 50598)
Since in the future all component manufacturers will disclose their loss data according to this new standard, optimized applications can be designed with a wide range of different components. The new Standard allows an accurate preliminary calculation of the power losses, so that the ROI (Return of Investment) can be reliably determined. Up to now the overall efficiency of speed-regulated electric motors was estimated with the aid of approximate energy consumption calculations.
It is now possible to determine the total losses of a system for the 8 operating points defined in the standard, including the part load operation, via a simple addition of power losses. Danfoss helps its customers to avoid having to rely on system solution provid­ers, to ensure that their systems will retain a competitive advantage also in the future.
EC 61800-9-2 (EN 50598-2) shifts the focus from the individual component to the efficiency of the whole drive system. The new efficiency classes (International Efficiency for Systems, IES)
allow a simple determination of the total losses for a whole drive system (PDS). Danfoss offers the MyDrive® ecoSmart™ tool, which is available online or as a Smartphone app to assist with the efficiency calcula-
tion. Use MyDrive® ecoSmart™ to:
Look up part load data as defined in IEC 61800-9-2, for VLT® and VACON® drives
Calculate efficiency class and part load efficiency for drives and power drive systems
Create a report documenting part load loss data and IE or IES efficiency class.
For more information, refer to Refer to Illustration 15 to see the components in the PDS which contribute to losses in the design. Mains cables and the load ma-
chine are not a part of the PDS, even though their losses can be significant and could be a part of the evaluation of the overall energy efficiency of the installation.

Illustration 15: Losses in a Power Drive System
Product Overview
3.4.1 Losses in Mains Cabling
The cabling from the supply must be considered, as the selection of suitable cables is often a problem, especially when dedicated feeding transformers are installed. From the impedance of the cables, the energy losses are created in the ohmic part. Calculate the active power losses for a 3-phase system with a star point groundingas follows:
P
= 3 x R x I
L,mains
Because the load, when using drives and motors, also include reactive power and harmonic currents, these parameters also contrib­ute to losses. The ratio between active and apparent power is normally called the power factor. Having a PDS with a power factor close to 1 result in the lowest losses in the mains. Using filters on the input side of the drive can lower the power factor.

3.4.2 Input Filters: Line Reactors and Harmonic Filters
Line reactor
A line reactor is an inductor which is wired in series between a power source and a load. Line reactors, also called input AC reactors, are typically used in motor drive applications.
The main function of the line reactor lies into its current limiting characteristics. Line reactors also reduce the main harmonics, limit the inrush currents, and protect drives and motors. An overall improvement of the true power factor and the quality of the input current waveform can be achieved.
Line reactors are classified by their percent impedance (denoted as percent IZ or %IZ), which is the voltage drop due to impedance, at the rated current, expressed as a percent of rated voltage. The most common line reactors have either 3% or 5% impedance.
When to use line reactors
It is important to consider the installation environment for the drives. In some situations, distortion from the grid can damage the drive and precautions must be taken.
A simple menas of prevention is to ensure a minimum of impedance in front of the drive. When calculating the impedance, the contribution from the supply transformer and the supply cables is also a part of the circuit. In
specific cases, an additional transformer or reactor is recommended. If the conditions listed exist, consider adding impedance (line reactor or transformer) in front of the drive:
The installation site has switched power factor correction capacitors.
The installation site has lightening strikes or voltage spikes.
The installation site has power interruptions or voltage dips.
Danfoss offers the line reactor program VLT® Line Reactor MCC 103, see
Harmonic filters
The purpose of using harmonic filters is to reduce the distortion on the mains. The distortion is generated by the drives when switching the voltage to generate a frequency on the output. The harmonics should be limited both seen from energy consumption perspective and disturbance of other users in the grid.
There are 2 categories of harmonic solutions:
Passive.
Active.
Passive solutions consist of capacitors, inductors, or a combination of both in different arrangements. The simplest solution is to add inductors/reactors of typically 3–5% in front of the drive. This added inductance reduces the number of harmonic currents pro-

duced by the drive. More advanced passive solutions combine capacitors and inductors in trap arrangement specially tuned to eliminate harmonics starting from, for example, the 5th harmonic.
For more details on the Danfoss passive solutions, refer to VLT® Advanced Harmonic Filters AHF 005/AHF 010 Design Guide. The active solutions determine the exact current that cancels the harmonics present in the circuit and synthesizes and injects that
current into the system. Thus, the active solution mitigates the real-time harmonic disturbances, which makes these solutions effec­tive at any load profile.
For more details on the Danfoss active solutions, refer to VLT® Low Harmonic Drive Operating Instructions, and VLT® Advanced Ac­tive Filter AAF 006 Operating Instructions.
Product Overview
3.4.3 Drive, Input Side
RFI (radio frequency interference)
Drives generate radio frequency interference (RFI) due to their variable-width current pulses. Drives and motor cables radiate these components and conduct them into the mains system.
RFI filters are used to reduce this interference on the mains according to IEC 61800-3 in order not to disturb radio services. Maxi­mum allowed emission depends on the environment where the PDS is used.
The need for reducing the interferences and the losses created by the coils is a trade-off that is hard to influence in the use of drives. Even though the losses exist, it is important to fulfill the legislation demands for the installation environment.
RFI filter on IT grid
If the drive is supplied from an isolated mains source (IT mains, floating delta) or TT/TN-S mains with grounded leg (grounded delta), the RFI filter must be turned off.
In the OFF position, the internal capacitors between the chassis (ground), the input RFI filter, and the DC link are cut off. As the RFI switch is turned off, the drive is not able to meet optimum EMC performance.
By opening the RFI filter switch, the ground leakage currents are also reduced, but not the high-frequency leakage currents caused by the switching frequency of the drive. It is important to use isolation monitors that are designed for use with power electronics (IEC 61557-8). For example, Deif type SIMQ, Bender type IRDH 275/375, or similar.
The Danfoss VLT® drives can be ordered with different types of RFI filters. See more details on RFI, the use of RFI filters, and EMC compliance in 6.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility.
Passive diode rectifier input
The use of diode rectifiers on the input side of the drives are the most cost-effective design. The energy flow goes from the mains to the load and have low losses. On the other hand, diodes create harmonics in the mains when rectifying and thereby create losses. These harmonics can be reduced by having DC-link coils, which are used in the Danfoss VLT® drives.
An energy flow from the drive back to the grid is not possible with this design as the energy is generated back from the application to the DC link. Use a DC chopper and a connected resistor to absorb the energy. This reduces the energy efficiency significantly.
3.4.4 DC Link
The DC link is a power storage facility for the output section of the drive. There are 2 major components to the DC-link section:
Capacitors
Coils
In Illustration 16 only 1 capacitor is shown, but it is always a series of capacitors.

Product Overview
With Danfoss VLT® drives, this intermediate section always uses DC coils, also known as DC line reactors or DC chokes. For cost con­siderations, most other drive manufacturers do not offer these DC line reactors as standard equipment. Danfoss regards these coils as essential for 2 main reasons:
The ability to reduce harmonic noise (interference) by 40%.
The ability to ride through a temporary loss of power. This allows the drive to avoid numerous unplanned shutdowns.
3.4.5 Drive, Output Side
The output side of the drive contains IGBTs used for generating a variable AC voltage with variable frequency. If no filters are used, overvoltage spikes, due to reflection of the voltage waveform, can be measured on the motor connection. This situation is often linked with long motor cables used in the installation and can reach values up to twice the level of the DC-link voltage.
From a user perspective, losses on the output side of the drive can be influenced by using a lower switching frequency, but this also contributes to higher losses in the motor and filters installed. To optimize energy efficiency, a compromise must be found when selecting the components used, for example, filters, motor type, and others. Often, output filters are used with the purpose of re­ducing stress on the insulation.
In the following sections, the aspect of different filter types is discussed in perspective of energy efficiency versus function.
Common-mode filters
Common-mode HF filters are placed between the drive and the motor. They are nanocrystaline cores that mitigate high-frequency noise in the motor cable (shielded or unshielded) and eliminate bearing currents, and hence Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) or bearing etching in the motor. Bearing currents caused by drives are also referred to as common-mode currents.
Since the common-mode filters mitigate high frequency, these filters absorb energy and contribute also to losses. Here, the trade­off is the advantage described compared with the losses.
More information on VLT® Common Mode Filters MCC 105 can be found on www.Danfoss.com.
dU/dt filters
At the IGBTs on the output switch, the voltage is not a clean sinus curve. It contains fast changes in voltage levels over a very short time. The use of dU/dt filters increases the raise time of the motor voltage to reduce the stress on the motor insulation. If not avoi­ded, the problem will typically not show at once, but after some time, the insulation breaks and creates problems.
The switching frequency influences the losses in the dU/dt filters. These losses can be up to 1% of the rated power. Here, the trade­off is the possible damage of the motor over time compared with the cost of energy losses.
Danfoss offers the VLT® dU/dt Filter MCC 102 as a possible solution. Find more information on www.Danfoss.com.
Sine-wave filters
A more advanced, but also more costly solution, is using sine-wave filters. The VLT® Sine-Wave Filter MCC 101 is a differential-mode low-pass filter that suppresses the switching frequency component com-
ing from the drive and smoothes out the phase-to-phase voltage of the drive to become sinusoidal. This reduces the motor insula-

VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803
Design Guide
tion stress and bearing currents. By supplying the motor with a sinusoidal voltage waveform, the switching acoustic noise from the motor is also eliminated.
For more detailed information, see the VLT® Sine-Wave Filter MCC 101 factsheet. However, this type of filter also produces a voltage drop and there may be a reduction in the available control bandwidth. This can
sometimes make it impossible to use this filter type. Again, as for the dU/dt filter, losses are linked to the switching frequency. For more detailed information, see the VLT® Output Filters Design Guide.
Product Overview
3.4.6 Motor Cables and Motor
Motor cables
Motor cables introduce mainly ohmic losses: the longer the cables, the more resistance. In general, when correctly selected, the losses in cables shorter than 25 m (82 ft) can be neglected. In single-wire cables with individual shielding, current causes losses in the cable shielding. These losses can be neglected when using 3-wire cables.
Motor
There are many different types of motors that can be operated with a drive. The solution for dealing with losses in motors is there­fore depending on the individual motor type and installation. In standard IEC 61800-9-2:2017 annex D, a discussion on motor load and losses is found.
A method to evaluate the losses generated in the motor operated with a drive can be found in the standards IEC 60034-2-1 and IEC TS 60034-2-4.

5 Mechanical Installation Considerations

5.1 Safe Transportation and Storage

Store the drive in a dry location and keep the equipment sealed in its packaging until installation. Follow all instructions on trans­portation and storage, and make sure that the ambient conditions are according to the specifications given in 4.5 Ambient Condi-
tions.
If the package is kept in storage for more than 2 months, keep it in controlled conditions:
-
Make sure that the temperature variation is low.
-
Make sure that the humidity is <50%.
Only use lifting and handling equipment rated and suitable for the purpose.
-
Check the weight of the drive and lift the drive with a lifting device if needed. In this case, use the lifting eyes/bars designed for this purpose.
-
Check the center of gravity on the packaging or on the drive before lifting the drive. Avoid tilting the drive to prevent it from overturning.
Keep the drive in its package until it has to be installed. After unpacking, protect the drive from dust, debris, and moisture.
5.1.1 Reforming the Capacitors
For drives that are in storage and do not have voltage applied, maintenance of the capacitors in the drive may be required. To avoid damage to the internal DC-link capacitors, reforming is required if the drive has been stored without applying voltage for
more than 3 years. Reforming is possible only with drives with DC terminals. When reforming the capacitors:
The reforming voltage must be 1.35–1.45 times the rated mains voltage. If the DC-link voltage stays at a low level and does not reach approximately 1.41 x mains voltage, contact the local service agent.
The supply current draw must not exceed 500 mA.

5.2 Side-by-side Installation

The drive can be mounted side by side but requires the clearance specified in Table 11 above and below for cooling.
Table 11: Clearance Required for Cooling
With IP21/NEMA Type1 option kit mounted, a distance of 50 mm (2 in) between the units is required.
N O T I C E

5.3 Operating Environment

In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or corrosive gases, ensure that the IP/Type rating of the equipment matches the installation environment.
For specifications regarding ambient conditions, see 4.5 Ambient Conditions.
N O T I C E
CONDENSATION
Moisture can condense on the electronic components and cause short circuits. Avoid installation in areas subject to frost. Install
an optional space heater when the drive is colder than the ambient air. Operating in standby mode reduces the risk of condensa-
tion as long as the power dissipation keeps the circuitry free of moisture.

Considerations
N O T I C E
EXTREME AMBIENT CONDITIONS
Hot or cold temperatures compromise unit performance and longevity.
Do not operate in environments where the ambient temperature exceeds 55 °C (131 °F).
-
The drive can operate at temperatures down to -10 °C (14 °F). However, proper operation at rated load is only guaranteed at
-
0 °C (32 °F) or higher.
If the temperature exceeds ambient temperature limits, extra air conditioning of the cabinet or installation site is required.
-
5.3.1 Gases
Aggressive gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, or ammonia, can damage electrical and mechanical components of a drive. Contamination of the cooling air can also cause the gradual decomposition of PCB tracks and door seals. Aggressive contaminants are often present in sewage treatment plants or swimming pools. A clear sign of an aggressive atmosphere is corroded copper.
In aggressive atmospheres, restricted IP enclosures are recommended along with conformal-coated circuit boards. The electronic components are, as standard, coated as per IEC60721-3-3, class 3C2. For harsh and aggressive environments, coating
as per IEC60721-3-3, class 3C3 is available.
Table 12: Conformal Coating Class Ratings
1
Maximum values are transient peak values and are not to exceed 30 minutes per day.
Refer to 7.1 Drive Configurator for ordering the correct protective rating.
5.3.2 Dust
Installation of drives in environments with high dust exposure is often unavoidable. Consider the following when installing drives in such environments:
Reduced cooling.
Cooling fans.
Periodic maintenance.
Reduced cooling
Dust forms deposits on the surface of the device and inside on the circuit boards and the electronic components. These deposits act as insulation layers and hamper heat transfer to the ambient air, reducing the cooling capacity. The components become warmer. This causes accelerated aging of the electronic components and the service life of the unit decreases. Dust deposits on the heat sink in the back of the unit also decrease the service life of the unit.

Mechanical Installation
Design Guide
Cooling fans
The airflow for cooling the unit is produced by cooling fans, usually on the back of the unit. The fan rotors have small bearings into which dust can penetrate and act as an abrasive. This leads to bearing damage and fan failure.
Periodic maintenance
Under the conditions described above, it is recommended to clean the drive during periodic maintenance. Remove dust from the heat sink and fans.
Considerations
5.3.3 Air Humidity
The drive has been designed to meet the IEC/EN 60068-2-3 standard, EN 50178 9.4.2.2 at 50 °C (122 °F).
5.3.4 Vibration and Shock
The drive has been tested according to the following standards:
IEC/EN 60068-2-6: Vibration (sinusoidal) - 1970
IEC/EN 60068-2-64: Vibration, broad-band random
The drive complies with the requirements that exist for units mounted on the walls and floors of production premises, and in panels bolted to walls or floors.
5.3.5 Derating for Ambient Temperature and Switching Frequency
Ensure that the ambient temperature measured over 24 h is at least 5 °C (9 °F) lower than the maximum ambient temperature that is specified for the drive. If the drive is operated at high ambient temperature, decrease the constant output current. If the ambient temperature is higher than 50 °C (122 °F) or the installation by altitude is higher than 1000 m (3281 ft), a larger VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 might be needed to run an undersized compressor. Consult Danfoss for support.

5.3.6 Derating for Low Air Pressure and High Altitudes
The cooling capability of air is decreased at low air pressure. For altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft), contact Danfoss regarding PELV. Below 1000 m (3281 ft) altitude, derating is not necessary. For altitudes above 1000 m (3281 ft), decrease the ambient temperature or the maximum output current. Decrease the output by 1% per 100 m (328 ft) altitude above 1000 m (3281 ft) or reduce the maxi­mum ambient cooling air temperature by 1 °C (1.8 °F) per 200 m (656 ft).

5.4 IP21/NEMA Type 1 Enclosure Kit

If environment, air quality, or surroundings require extra protection, an IP21/NEMA Type 1 kit can be ordered, see 7.3 Accessories
and Spare Parts. The IP21/NEMA Type 1 is an optional enclosure element available for IP20 units. If the enclosure kit is used, an IP20
unit is upgraded to comply with enclosure IP21/NEMA Type 1.
N O T I C E
The IP21/IP21 are not suitable for outdoor mounting.

N O T I C E
If the drive is supplied from an isolated mains source or mains with grounded leg, the RFI filter is recommended to be disabled,
see 6.5.8 RFI Filter Switch.
Once disabled, the filter capacitors between the chassis and the DC link are cut off to avoid damage to the DC link and to reduce the ground capacity currents, according to IEC 61800-3. If optimum EMC performance is required, avoid exceeding overvoltage limits within the DC bus by making sure that the energy charged into the DC link through the RFI filter is either discharged via loading the DC bus terminals or output terminals U, V, and W.
It is important to use isolation monitors that are rated for use with power electronics (IEC 61557-8).

6.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility

Electrical devices both generate interference and are affected by interference from other generated sources. The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of these effects depends on the power and the harmonic characteristics of the devices. Uncontrolled interaction between electrical devices in a system can degrade compatibility and impair reliable operation. Interference takes the form of the following:
Electrostatic discharges
Rapid voltage fluctuations
High-frequency interference
Electrical interference is most commonly found at frequencies in the range 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Airborne interference from the drive system in the range 30 MHz to 1 GHz is generated from the inverter, motor cable, and the motor.
Capacitive currents in the motor cable, coupled with a high dU/dt from the motor voltage, generate leakage currents. See Illustra-
tion 34. Shielded motor cables have higher capacitance between the phase wires and the shield, and again between the shield and
ground. This added cable capacitance, along with other parasitic capacitance and motor inductance, changes the electromagnetic emission signature produced by the unit. The change in electromagnetic emission signature occurs mainly in emissions less than 5 MHz. Most of the leakage current (I1) is carried back to the unit through the PE (I3), leaving only a small electromagnetic field (I4) from the shielded motor cable. The shield reduces the radiated interference but increases the low-frequency interference on the mains.

N O T I C E
According to the EMC Directive, a system is defined as a combination of several types of equipment, finished products, and/or
components combined, designed and/or put together by the same person (system manufacturer) intended to be placed on the
market for distribution as a single functional unit for an end user and intended to be installed and operated together to perform a
specific task. The EMC Directive applies to products/systems and installations, but in case the installation is built up of CE marked
products/systems the installation can also be considered compliant with the EMC Directive. Installations shall not be CE marked.
According to the EMC Directive, Danfoss Drives as a manufacturer of product/systems is responsible for obtaining the essential
requirements of the EMC Directive and attaching the CE mark. For systems involving load sharing and other DC terminals, Dan-
foss Drives can only ensure compliance to the EMC Directive when end users connect combinations of Danfoss Drives products
as described in our technical documentation.
If any 3rd-party products are connected to the load share or other DC terminals on the AC drives, Danfoss Drives cannot guaran-
tee that the EMC requirements are fulfilled.
6.5.3 Immunity Requirements
The immunity requirements for drives depend on the environment in which they are installed. The requirements for the industrial environment are higher than the requirements for the home and office environment. All Danfoss VLT® drives comply with the re­quirements for the industrial environment and therefore also comply with the lower requirements for home and office environment with a large safety margin.
To document immunity against burst transient from electrical phenomena, the following immunity tests have been carried out on a system consisting of:
A drive (with options if relevant).
A shielded control cable.
A control box with potentiometer, motor cable, and motor.

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
According to the EN 61800-3 standard for variable-speed drive systems, the operator is responsible for ensuring EMC compliance.
Manufacturers can offer solutions for operation conforming to the standard. Operators are responsible for applying these solu-
tions and for paying the associated costs.
There are 2 options for ensuring electromagnetic compatibility:
Eliminate or minimize interference at the source of emitted interference.
Increase the immunity to interference in devices affected by its reception.
RFI filters
The goal is to obtain systems that operate stably without radio frequency interference between components. To achieve a high level of immunity, use drives with high-quality RFI filters.
N O T I C E
In a residential environment, this product can cause radio interference, in which case supplementary mitigation measures may be
required.
PELV and galvanic isolation compliance
All control and relay terminals comply with PELV (excluding grounded delta leg above 400 V). To obtain galvanic (ensured) isolation, fulfill requirements for higher isolation and provide the relevant creepage/clearance distances. These requirements are described in EN 61800-5.1.
Electrical isolation is provided as shown in Illustration 35. The components described comply with both PELV and the galvanic isola­tion requirements.

6.5.5 EMC-compliant Electrical Installation
To obtain an EMC-compliant installation, be sure to follow all electrical installation instructions. Also, remember to practice the following:
When using relays, control cables, a signal interface, fieldbus, or brake, connect the shield to the enclosure at both ends. If the ground path has high impedance, is noisy, or is carrying current, break the shield connection on 1 end to avoid ground current loops.
Convey the currents back to the unit using a metal mounting plate. Ensure good electrical contact from the mounting plate by securely fastening the mounting screws to the drive chassis.
Use shielded cables for motor output cables. An alternative is unshielded motor cables within metal conduit.
Ensure that motor and brake cables are as short as possible to reduce the interference level from the entire system.
Avoid placing cables with a sensitive signal level alongside motor and brake cables.
For communication and command/control lines, follow the particular communication protocol standards. For example, USB must use shielded cables, but RS485/ethernet can use shielded UTP or unshielded UTP cables.
Ensure that all control terminal connections are rated protective extra low voltage (PELV).
N O T I C E
TWISTED SHIELD ENDS (PIGTAILS)
Twisted shield ends increase the shield impedance at higher frequencies, which reduces the shield effect and increases the leak-
age current.
Use integrated shield clamps instead of twisted shield ends.
-
N O T I C E
SHIELDED CABLES
If shielded cables or metal conduits are not used, the unit and the installation do not meet regulatory limits on radio frequency
(RF) emission levels.
N O T I C E
EMC INTERFERENCE
Failure to isolate power, motor, and control cables can result in unintended behavior or reduced performance.
Use shielded cables for motor and control wiring.
-
Provide a minimum 200 mm (7.9 in) separation between mains input, motor cables, and control cables.
-
N O T I C E
INSTALLATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE
There is a risk of overvoltage. Isolation between components and critical parts could be insufficient and may not comply with
PELV requirements.
Use external protective devices or galvanic isolation. For installations above 2000 m (6500 ft) altitude, contact Danfoss re-
-

6.5.6 EMC-compliant Cables
To optimize EMC immunity of the control cables and emission from the motor cables, use braided shielded/armored cables. The ability of a cable to reduce the in- and outgoing radiation of electric noise depends on the transfer impedance (ZT). The shield of
a cable is normally designed to reduce the transfer of electric noise. However, a shield with a lower transfer impedance (ZT) value is more effective than a shield with a higher transfer impedance (ZT).
Cable manufacturers rarely state the transfer impedance (ZT), but it is often possible to estimate transfer impedance (ZT) by assess­ing the physical design of the cable.
Transfer impedance (ZT) can be assessed based on the following factors:
The conductibility of the shield material.
The contact resistance between the individual shield conductors.
The shield coverage, that is, the physical area of the cable covered by the shield - often stated as a percentage value.
Shield type (braided or twisted).

6.5.7 Shielded Control Cables
Usually, the preferred method is to secure control and serial communication cables with shielding clamps provided at both ends to ensure the best possible high frequency cable contact.
If the ground potential between the drive and the PLC is different, electric noise could disturb the entire system. Solve this problem by fitting an equalizing cable as close as possible to the control cable. Minimum cable cross-section: 16 mm2 (6 AWG).
Illustration 38: Shielding Clamps at Both Ends
6.5.7.1 50/60 Hz Ground Loops
With long control cables, ground loops may occur. To eliminate ground loops, connect 1 end of the shield to the ground with a 100 nF capacitor (keeping leads short).

6.5.7.2 Avoid EMC Noise on Serial Communication
This terminal is connected to ground via an internal RC link. Use twisted-pair cables to reduce interference between conductors. The recommended method is shown in the following illustration.

6.5.8 RFI Filter Switch
For power sizes 6.0–10 kW (8.0–15 hp), disable the RFI filter by removing the screw. For power sizes 18.5–22 kW (20–25 hp), removing the screw does not have any electrical effect and does not alter any RFI settings. For power size 30 kW (40 hp), no options are available for disabling the RFI filter.
If reinserted, use only M3x12 screw.

6.6 Harmonics Emission

A drive takes up a non-sinusoidal current from mains, which increases the input current I formed with a Fourier analysis and split into sine-wave currents with different frequencies, that is, different harmonic currents I with 50 Hz basic frequency:
Table 21: Harmonic Currents
The harmonics do not affect the power consumption directly, but increase the heat losses in the installation (transformer, cables). So, in plants with a high percentage of rectifier load, maintain harmonic currents at a low level to avoid overload of the transformer and high temperature in the cables.

To ensure low harmonic currents, the drive is equipped with DC-link coils as standard. This normally reduces the input current I
RMS
by 40%. The voltage distortion on the mains supply voltage depends on the size of the harmonic currents multiplied by the mains impe-
dance for the frequency in question. The total voltage distortion THDv is calculated based on the individual voltage harmonics us­ing this formula:

The installer or user of the equipment is responsible for ensuring that the equipment is connected only to a supply with a short­circuit power Ssc greater than or equal to what is specified above. If necessary, consult the distribution network operator. Other power sizes can be connected to the public supply network by consultation with the distribution network operator.
Compliance with various system level guidelines: The harmonic current data in Table 23 to Table 25 are given in accordance with IEC/EN 61000-3-12 with reference to the Power Drive Systems product standard. They may be used as the basis for calculation of the harmonic currents' influence on the power supply system and for the documentation of compliance with relevant regional guide­lines: IEEE 519 -1992; G5/4.
If there is a need for further reduction of harmonic currents, passive or active filters in front of the drives can be installed. Consult Danfoss for further information.

6.7 Galvanic Isolation (PELV)

All control terminals and output relay terminals are galvanically isolated from mains power, which completely protects the control­ler circuitry from the input current. The output relay terminals require their own grounding. This isolation meets the stringent pro­tective extra-low voltage (PELV) requirements for isolation.
The components that make up the galvanic isolation are illustrated in Illustration 43:
Illustration 43: Galvanic Isolation (PELV)

6.8 Ground Leakage Current

Follow national and local codes regarding protective earthing of equipment where leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA. Drive technology implies high frequency switching at high power. This generates a leakage current in the ground connection.

DISCHARGE TIME
Touching the electrical parts, even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains, could be fatal.
Make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as load sharing (linkage of DC-link), and the motor con-
-
nection for kinetic back-up.
Before touching any electrical parts, wait at least the amount of time indicated in the safety chapter. Shorter time is allowed
-
only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.

LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the drive properly can result in death or serious injury.
Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment by a certified electrical installer.
-
6.8.1 Using a Residual Current Device (RCD)
Where residual current devices (RCDs), also known as earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs), are used, comply with the following:
Use RCDs of type B only, which are capable of detecting AC and DC currents.
Use RCDs with an inrush delay to prevent faults caused by transient ground currents.
Dimension RCDs according to the system configuration and environmental considerations.
The leakage current includes several frequencies originating from both the mains frequency and the switching frequency. Whether the switching frequency is detected depends on the type of RCD used.
Illustration 46: Mains Contributions to Leakage Current
The amount of leakage current detected by the RCD depends on the cut-off frequency of the RCD.

RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE PROTECTION
This product can cause a DC current in the protective conductor. Where a residual current device (RCD) is used for protection in
case of direct or indirect contact, only an RCD of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this product. Otherwise, apply another
protective measure, such as separation from the environment by double or reinforced insulation, or isolation from the supply
system by a transformer. See also application note Protection against Electrical Hazards.
Protective grounding of the drive and the use of RCDs must always follow national and local regulations.

Thermistor
A temperature-dependent resistor placed on the drive or the compressor.
Trip
A state entered in fault situations, for example, if the drive is subject to an overtemperature or when the drive is protecting the compressor, process, or mechanism. The drive prevents a restart until the cause of the fault has disappeared. To cancel the trip state, restart the drive. Do not use the trip state for personal safety.
Trip lock
The drive enters this state in fault situations to protect itself. The drive re­quires physical intervention, for example when there is a short circuit on the output. A trip lock can only be canceled by disconnecting mains, re­moving the cause of the fault, and reconnecting the drive. Restart is preven­ted until the trip state is canceled by activating reset or, sometimes, by be­ing programmed to reset automatically. Do not use the trip lock state for personal safety.
