2.1.8 Safe Stop Installation

To carry out an installation of a Category 0 Stop (EN60204) in conformity with Safety Category 3 (EN954-1), follow these instructions:

1. The bridge (jumper) between Terminal 37 and 24 V DC must be removed. Cutting or breaking the jumper is not sufficient. Remove it entirely

to avoid short-circuiting. See jumper on illustration.

2. Connect terminal 37 to 24 V DC by a short circuit-protected cable. The 24 V DC voltage supply must be interruptible by an EN954-1 category 3

circuit interrupt device. If the interrupt device and the adjustable frequency drive are placed in the same installation panel, you can use a non-

shielded cable instead of a shielded one.

3.2 Mechanical Installation

Preparation of the mechanical installation of the adjustable frequency drive must be done carefully to ensure proper results and to avoid additional work

during installation. Start by taking a close look at the mechanical drawings at the end of this instruction manual to become familiar with the space demands.

3.2.1 Tools Needed

To perform the mechanical installation, the following tools are needed:

• Drill with 0.39 or 0.47 in [10 or 12 mm] drill.

• Tape measure

• Wrench with relevant metric sockets (0.28-0.67 in (7-17 mm))

• Extensions to wrench

• Sheet metal punch for conduits or cable connectors in IP 21/Nema 1 and IP 54 units

• Lifting bar to lift the unit (rod or tube max. Ø1 in [25 mm], able to lift minimum 880 lbs [400 kg].

• Crane or other lifting aid to place the adjustable frequency drive in position

• A Torx T50 tool is needed to install the E1 in IP21 and IP54 enclosure types.

3.2.2 General Considerations

Space

Ensure proper space above and below the adjustable frequency drive to allow airflow and cable access. In addition, space in front of the unit must be

considered to allow the panel door to be opened.

3.2.6 Cooling and Airflow

Cooling

Cooling can be obtained in different ways, by using the cooling ducts in the bottom and the top of the unit, by taking air in and out the back of the unit

or by combining the cooling possibilities.

Duct cooling

A dedicated option has been developed to optimize installation of IP00/chassis adjustable frequency drives in Rittal TS8 enclosures utilizing the fan of

the adjustable frequency drive for forced air cooling of the backchannel. The air out the top of the enclosure could but ducted outside a facility so the

heat losses from the backchannel are not dissipated within the control room reducing air-conditioning requirements of the facility.

Please see

Back cooling

The backchannel air can also be ventilated in and out the back of a Rittal TS8 enclosure. This offers a solution where the backchannel could take air from

outside the facility and return the heat losses outside the facility thus reducing air-conditioning requirements.

Installation of Duct Cooling Kit in Rittal enclosures

NOTE!

A door fan is required on the enclosure to remove the heat losses not contained in the backchannel of the drive and any additional

losses generated from other components installed inside the enclosure. The total required airflow must be calculated so that the

appropriate fans can be selected. Some enclosure manufacturers offer software for performing the calculations (e.g., Rittal Therm

software). If the VLT is the only heat generating component in the enclosure, the minimum airflow required at an ambient temperature

of 113°F [45°C] for the D3 and D4 drives is 391 m

[45°C] for the E2 drive is 782 m

3.3.1 Installation of Duct Cooling Kit in Rittal Enclosures

This section deals with the installation of IP00 / chassis enclosed adjustable frequency drives with duct work cooling kits in Rittal enclosures. In addition

to the enclosure an 8 in [200 mm] base/plinth is required.

Figure 3.35: Installation of IP00 in Rittal TS8 enclosure.

The minimum enclosure dimension is:

• D3 and D4 frame: Depth 19.7 in [500 mm] and width 23.6 in [600 mm].

• E2 frame: Depth 23.6 in [600 mm] and width 31.5 in [800 mm].

The maximum depth and width are as required for the installation. When using multiple adjustable frequency drives in one enclosure it is recommended

that each drive is mounted on its own back panel and supported along the mid-section of the panel. These duct work kits do not support the “in frame”

mounting of the panel (see Rittal TS8 catalog for details). The duct work cooling kits listed in the table below are suitable for us e o nl y w ith IP 00 / Chassis

adjustable frequency drives in Rittal TS8 IP 20 and UL and NEMA 1 and IP 54 and UL and NEMA 12 enclosures.

For the E2 frames, it is important to mount the plate at the absolute rear of the Rittal enclosure due to the weight of the adjustable

frequency drive.

This description is for the installation of the top section only of the backchannel cooling kits available for frame sizes D3, D4 and E2. In addition to the

enclosure, an 8 in [200 mm] vented pedestal is required.

The minimum enclosure depth is 19.7 in [500 mm] (23.6 in [600 mm] for E2 frame) and the minimum enclosure width is 23.6 in [600 mm] (31.5 in [800

mm] for E2 frame). The maximum depth and width are as required for the installation. When using multiple adjustable frequency drives in one enclosure

mount each drive on its own back panel and support along the mid-section of the panel. The back-channel cooling kits are very similar in construction

for all frames. The D3 and D4 kits do not support “in frame” mounting of the adjustable frequency drives. The E2 kit is mounted “in frame” for additional

support of the adjustable frequency drive.

Using these kits as described removes 85% of the losses via the backchannel using the drive’s main heatsink fan. The remaining 15% must be removed

via the door of the enclosure.

3.3.3 Installation of Top and Bottom Covers for Rittal Enclosures

The top and bottom covers, installed onto IP00 adjustable frequency drives, direct the heatsink cooling air in and out the back of the adjustable frequency

drive. The kits are applicable to IP00 drive frames D3, D4 and E2. These kits are designed and tested to be used with IP00/Chassis drives in Rittal TS8

enclosures.

Notes:

1. If external duct work is added to the exhaust path of the drive, additional back pressure will be created that will reduce the cooling of the drive.

The drive must be derated to accommodate the reduced cooling. First, the pressure drop must be calculated, then refer to the derating tables

located earlier in this section.

2. A door fan is required on the enclosure to remove the heat losses not contained in the backchannel of the drive and any additional losses

generated from other components installed inside the enclosure. The total required air flow must be calculated so that the appropriate fans can

be selected. Some enclosure manufacturers offer software for performing the calculations (i.e., Rittal Therm software).

If the adjustable frequency drive is the only heat generating component in the enclosure, the minimum airflow required at an ambient temper-

the back of the drive as opposed to in the bottom and out the top of the drive (when the drives are being mounted directly on a wall or inside a welded

enclosure).

Notes:

1. If external duct work is added to the exhaust path of the drive, additional back pressure will be created that will reduce the cooling of the drive.

The drive must be derated to accommodate the reduced cooling. First, the pressure drop must be calculated, then refer to the derating tables

located earlier in this section.

2. A door fan is required on the enclosure to remove the heat losses not contained in the backchannel of the drive and any additional losses

generated from other components installed inside the enclosure. The total required air flow must be calculated so that the appropriate fans can

be selected. Some enclosure manufacturers offer software for performing the calculations (i.e., Rittal Therm software).

If the adjustable frequency drive is the only heat generating component in the enclosure, the minimum airflow required at an ambient temper-

ature of 113°F [45°C] f or th e D 3 a nd D4 fr am e drives is 391 m

[45°C] for the E2 frame drive is 782 m

Cabling and Fusing

NOTE!

Cables General

All cabling must comply with national and local regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient temperature. UL applications require

167°F [75°C] copper conductors. 167°F [75°C] and 194°F [90°C] copper conductors are thermally acceptable for the adjustable fre-

quency drive to use in non-UL applications.

The power cable connections are situated as shown below. Dimensioning of cable cross-section must be done in accordance with the current ratings and

local legislation. See the

For protection of the adjustable frequency drive, the recommended fuses must be used or the unit must be with built-in fuses. Recommended fuses can

be seen in the tables of the fuse section. Always ensure that proper fusing is done according to local regulations.

The AC line input connections are fitted to the line power switch if this is included.

Specifications section

for details.

NOTE!

The motor cable must be shielded/armored. If an unshielded/unarmored cable is used, some EMC requirements are not complied with.

Use a shielded/armored motor cable to comply with EMC emission specifications. For more information, see

Design Guide

See section General Specifications for correct dimensioning of motor cable cross-section and length.

Shielding of cables:

Avoid installation with twisted shield ends (pigtails). They spoil the shielding effect at higher frequencies. If it is necessary to break the shield to install

a motor isolator or motor contactor, the shield must be continued at the lowest possible HF impedance.

Connect the motor cable shield to both the de-coupling plate of the adjustable frequency drive and to the metal housing of the motor.

Make the shield connections with the largest possible surface area (cable clamp). This is done by using the supplied installation devices within the

adjustable frequency drive.

Cable-length and cross-section:

The adjustable frequency drive has been EMC tested with a given length of cable. Keep the motor cable as short as possible to reduce the noise level

and leakage currents.

Switching frequency:

When adjustable frequency drives are used together with sine-wave filters to reduce the acoustic noise from a motor, the switching frequency must be

set according to the instructions in par. 14-01

3.5.2 Grounding

The following basic issues need to be considered when installing an adjustable frequency drive, so as to obtain electromagnetic com-

patibility (EMC).

• Safety grounding: Please note that the adjustable frequency drive has a high leakage current and must be grounded appropriately for safety

reasons. Always follow local safety regulations.

• High-frequency grounding: Keep the ground wire connections as short as possible.

Connect the different ground systems at the lowest possible conductor impedance. The lowest possible conductor impedance is obtained by keeping the

conductor as short as possible and by using the greatest possible surface area.

The metal cabinets of the different devices are mounted on the cabinet rear plate using the lowest possible HF impedance. This prevents having different

HF voltages for the individual devices and prevents the risk of radio interference currents running in connection cables that may be used between the

devices, as radio interference is reduced.

In order to obtain a low HF impedance, use the fastening bolts of the devices as HF connections to the rear plate. It is necessary to remove insulating

paint and the like from the fastening points.

3.5.3 Extra Protection (RCD)

ELCB relays, multiple protective grounding or grounding can be used as extra protection, provided that local safety regulations are complied with.

3 How to Install

In the case of a ground fault, a DC component may develop in the fault current.

If ELCB relays are used, local regulations must be observed. Relays must be suitable for protection of 3-phase equipment with a bridge rectifier and for

a brief discharge on power-up.

Line power supply isolated from ground

If the adjustable frequency drive is supplied from an isolated line power source ( IT line power, floating delta and grounded delta) or TT/TN-S line power

with grounded leg, the RFI switch is recommended to be turned off (OFF)

EMC performance is needed, parallel motors are connected or the motor cable length is above 82 ft [25 m],, it is recommended to set par. 14-50

to [ON].

Not available for 525–600/690 V adjustable frequency drives in frame sizes D, E and F.

In OFF, the internal RFI capacities (filter capacitors) between the chassis and the intermediate circuit are cut off to avoid damage to the intermediate

circuit and to reduce the ground capacity currents (according to IEC 61800-3).

Please also refer to the application note

with power electronics (IEC 61557-8).

3.5.13 Fuses

Branch circuit protection:

In order to protect the installation against electrical and fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch gear, machines, etc., must be short-

circuited and overcurrent protected according to national/international regulations.

Short-circuit protection:

The adjustable frequency drive must be protected against short-circuit to avoid electrical or fire hazard. Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned

below to protect service personnel and equipment in case of an internal failure in the drive. The adjustable frequency drive provides full short-circuit

protection in case of a short-circuit on the motor output.

Overcurrent protection

Provide overload protection to avoid fire hazard due to overheating of the cables in the installation. The adjustable frequency drive is equipped with

internal overcurrent protection that can be used for upstream overload protection (UL applications excluded). See par. 4-18

fuses or circuit breakers can be used to provide the overcurrent protection in the installation. Overcurrent protection must always be carried out according

to national regulations.

Non-UL compliance

If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, we recommend using the following fuses, which will ensure compliance with EN50178:

In case of malfunction, not following the recommendation may result in unnecessary damage to the adjustable frequency drive.

3.5.18 Motor Bearing Currents

All motors installed with FC 302 125 hp [90 kW] or higher power drives should have NDE (Non-Drive End) insulated bearings installed to eliminate

circulating bearing currents. To minimize DE (Drive End) bearing and shaft currents proper grounding of the drive, motor, driven machine, and motor to

the driven machine is required.

Standard Mitigation Strategies:

1. Use an insulated bearing

2. Apply rigorous installation procedures

- Ensure the motor and load motor are aligned

- Strictly follow the EMC Installation guideline

- Reinforce the PE so the high frequency impedance is lower in the PE than the input power leads.

- Provide a good high frequency connection between the motor and the adjustable frequency drive for instance by shielded cable which

has a 360° connection in the motor and the adjustable frequency drive.

- Make sure that the impedance from adjustable frequency drive to building ground is lower that the grounding impedance of the machine.

This can be difficult for pumps.

- Make a direct ground connection between the motor and load motor.

3. Lower the IGBT switching frequency

4. Modify the inverter waveform, 60° AVM vs. SFAVM

5. Install a shaft grounding system or use an isolating coupling.

6. Apply conductive lubrication

7. Use minimum speed settings, if possible.

8. Try to ensure the line voltage is balanced to ground. This can be difficult for IT, TT, TN-CS or Grounded leg systems

9. Use a dU/dt or sinus filter

Figure 3.54: Diagram showing all electrical terminals without options.

Terminal 37 is the input to be used for Safe Stop. For instructions on safe stop installation, refer to the section

Safe Stop Installation

in the

adjustable frequency drive Design Guide. See also sections Safe Stop and Safe Stop Installation.

In rare cases, very long control cables and analog signals may, depending on installation, result in 50/60 Hz ground loops due to noise from line power

supply cables.

If this occurs, it may be necessary to break the shield or insert a 100 nF capacitor between shield and chassis.

The digital and analog inputs and outputs must be connected separately to the adjustable frequency drive common inputs (terminal 20, 55, 39) to avoid

ground currents from both groups to affect other groups. For example, switching on the digital input may disturb the analog input signal.

3.9 Additional Connections

3.9.1 Mechanical Brake Control

In hoisting/lowering applications, it is necessary to be able to control an electro-mechanical brake:

• Control the brake using any relay output or digital output (terminal 27 or 29).

• Keep the output closed (voltage-free) as long as the adjustable frequency drive is unable to ‘support’ the motor, such as when the load is too

heavy, for example.

• Select

• The brake is released when the motor current exceeds the preset value in par. 2-20

• The brake is engaged when the output frequency is less than the frequency set in par. 2-21

If the adjustable frequency drive is in alarm mode or in an overvoltage situation, the mechanical brake immediately cuts in.

The adjustable frequency drive can control several parallel-connected

motors. The total current consumption of the motors must not exceed

Note:

• For the best adaptation of the adjustable frequency drive, run the AMA on a cold motor.

• AMA cannot be performed while the motor is running.

• AMA cannot be performed on permanent magnet motors.

NOTE!

It is important to set motor par. 1-2* correctly, since these form part of the AMA algorithm. An AMA must be performed to achieve

optimum dynamic motor performance. It may take up to 10 min, depending on the power rating of the motor.

NOTE!

Avoid generating external torque during AMA.

NOTE!

If one of the settings in par. 1-2* is changed, par. 1-30 to par. 1-39, the advanced motor parameters, will return to default setting.

4.3 Parameter Lists

Changes during operation

”TRUE” means that the parameter can be changed while the adjustable frequency drive is in operation, and “FALSE” means that it must be stopped before

a change can be made.

4-Set-up

'All set-up': the parameters can be set individually in each of the four set-ups, i.e., one single parameter can have four different data values.

’1 set-up’: data value will be the same in all set-ups.

Conversion index

This number refers to a conversion figure used when writing or reading to and from the adjustable frequency drive.
