Product Overview
1.3.1 Intended Use
A frequency converter is an electronic motor controller
that converts AC mains input into a variable AC waveform
output. The frequency and voltage of the output are
regulated to control the motor speed or torque. The
frequency converter can vary the speed of the motor in
response to system feedback, such as with position sensors
on a conveyor belt. The frequency converter can also
regulate the motor by responding to remote commands
from external controllers.
The frequency converter:
Monitors the system and motor status.
•
Issues warnings or alarms for fault conditions.
•
Starts and stops the motor.
•
Optimises energy eciency.
•
Operation and monitoring functions are available as status
indications to an outside control system or serial communication network.
A low harmonic drive (LHD) is a single unit that combines
the frequency converter with an advanced active lter
(AAF) for harmonic mitigation. The frequency converter
and lter are packaged together in an integrated system,
but each functions independently. In this manual, there are
separate specications for the frequency converter and the
lter. Since the frequency converter and lter are in the
same enclosure, the unit is transported, installed, and
operated as a single entity.

1.3.2 Working Principle
The low harmonic drive is a high-power frequency converter with an integrated active lter. An active lter is a device that
actively monitors harmonic distortion levels and injects compensative harmonic current onto the line to cancel the
harmonics.
Illustration 1.1 Basic Layout for the Low Harmonic Drive
Low harmonic drives are designed to draw an ideal sinusoidal current waveform from the supply grid with a power factor of
1. Where traditional non-linear load draws pulse-shaped currents, the low harmonic drive compensates that via the parallel
lter path, lowering the stress on the supply grid. The low harmonic drive meets the highest harmonic standards with a
THDi less than 5% at full load for <3% pre-distortion on a 3% unbalanced 3-phase grid.

1.6 Harmonics Overview
1.6.1 Harmonics
Non-linear loads such as found with 6-pulse frequency
converters do not draw current uniformly from the power
line. This non-sinusoidal current has components which are
multiples of the fundamental current frequency. These
components are referred to as harmonics. It is important to
control the total harmonic distortion on the mains supply.
Although the harmonic currents do not directly aect
electrical energy consumption, they generate heat in
wiring and transformers and can impact other devices on
the same power line.
Since harmonics increase heat losses, it is important to
design systems with harmonics in mind to prevent
overloading the transformer, inductors, and wiring.
When necessary, perform an analysis of the system
harmonics to determine equipment eects.
A non-sinusoidal current is transformed with a Fourier
series analysis into sine-wave currents at dierent
frequencies, that is, dierent harmonic currents IN with 50
Hz or 60 Hz as the fundamental frequency.

1.6.3 Eect of Harmonics in a Power
Distribution System
In Illustration 1.10, a transformer is connected on the
primary side to a point of common coupling PCC1, on the
medium voltage supply. The transformer has an impedance
Z
and feeds a number of loads. The point of common
xfr
coupling where all loads are connected is PCC2. Each load
is connected through cables that have an impedance Z1,
Z2, Z3.
PCC, the conguration of the distribution system and
relevant impedances must be known.
A commonly used term for describing the impedance of a
grid is the short-circuit ratio R
. R
is dened as the ratio
sce

between the short circuit apparent power of the supply at
the PCC (Ssc) and the rated apparent power of the load
(S

Harmonic currents drawn by non-linear loads cause
distortion of the voltage because of the voltage drop on
the impedances of the distribution system. Higher
impedances result in higher levels of voltage distortion.
Current distortion relates to apparatus performance and it
relates to the individual load. Voltage distortion relates to
system performance. It is not possible to determine the
voltage distortion in the PCC knowing only the harmonic
performance of the load. To predict the distortion in the
The mains voltage is rarely a uniform sinusoidal voltage with constant amplitude and frequency because loads that draw
non-sinusoidal currents from the mains have non-linear characteristics.
Harmonics and voltage uctuations are 2 forms of low-frequency mains interference. They have a dierent appearance at
their origin than at any other point in the mains system when a load is connected. So, a range of inuences must be
determined collectively when assessing the eects of mains interference. These inuences include the mains feed, structure,
and loads.
Mains interference can cause the following:
Undervoltage warnings
Incorrect voltage measurements due to distortion of the sinusoidal mains voltage.
•
Cause incorrect power measurements because only RMS-true measuring takes harmonic content into account.
•
Higher functional losses
Harmonics reduce the active power, apparent power, and reactive power.
•
Distort electrical loads resulting in audible interference in other devices, or in worst case, even destruction.
•
Shorten the lifetime of devices as a result of heating.

In most of Europe, the basis for the objective assessment of the quality of mains power is the Electromagnetic Compatibility

EN 50178Monitors electronic equipment for use in power installations.
Table 1.6 EN Design Standards for Mains Power Quality
There are 2 European standards that address harmonics in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 9 kHz:
EN 61000-2-2 (Compatibility Levels for Low-Frequency Conducted Disturbances and Signalling in Public Low-Voltage Power
Supply Systems) states the requirements for compatibility levels for PCC (point of common coupling) of low-voltage AC
systems on a public supply network. Limits are specied only for harmonic voltage and total harmonic distortion of the
voltage. EN 61000-2-2 does not dene limits for harmonic currents. In situations where the total harmonic distortion
THD(V)=8%, PCC limits are identical to those limits specied in the EN 61000-2-4 Class 2.
EN 61000-2-4 (Compatibility Levels for Low-Frequency Conducted Disturbances and Signalling in Industrial Plants) states the
requirements for compatibility levels in industrial and private networks. The standard further denes the following 3 classes
of electromagnetic environments:
Class 1 relates to compatibility levels that are less than the public supply network, which
•
sensitive to disturbances (lab equipment, some automation equipment, and certain protection devices).
Class 2 relates to compatibility levels that are equal to the public supply network. The class applies to PCCs on the
•
public supply network and to IPCs (internal points of coupling) on industrial or other private supply networks. Any
equipment designed for operation on a public supply network is allowed in this class.
Class 3 relates to compatibility levels greater than the public supply network. This class applies only to IPCs in
•
industrial environments. Use this class where the following equipment is found:

IEEE Harmonic Standards
1.6.5
The IEEE 519 standard (Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical Power Systems)
provides specic limits for harmonic voltages and currents for individual components within the supply network. The
standard also provides limits for the sum of all loads at the point of common coupling (PCC).
To determine permissible harmonic voltage levels, IEEE 519 uses a ratio between the supply short-circuit current and the
maximum current of the individual load. For permissible harmonic voltage levels for individual loads, see Table 1.9. For
permissible levels for all loads connected to the PCC, see Table 1.10.

WARNING
GROUNDING HAZARD!
For operator safety, it is important to ground the
frequency converter properly in accordance with national
and local electrical codes as well as instructions
contained within this document. Do not use conduit
connected to the frequency converter as a replacement
for proper grounding. Ground currents are higher than
3.5 mA. Failure to ground the frequency converter
properly could result in death or serious injury.

Operating Instructions
NOTICE
It is the responsibility of the user or certied electrical
installer to ensure correct grounding of the equipment in
accordance with national and local electrical codes and
standards.
Follow all local and national electrical codes to
•
ground electrical equipment properly.
Establish proper protective earthing for
•
equipment with ground currents higher than 3.5
mA, see chapter 4.4.1 Leakage Current (>3.5 mA).
A dedicated ground wire is required for input
•
power, motor power, and control wiring.
Use the clamps provided with the equipment for
•
proper ground connections.
Do not ground one frequency converter to
•
another in a “daisy chain” fashion.
Keep the ground wire connections as short as
•
possible.
Using high-strand wire to reduce electrical noise
•
is recommended.
Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
•
Leakage Current (>3.5 mA)
4.4.1
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
earthing of equipment with a leakage current >3.5 mA.
Frequency converter technology implies high frequency
switching at high power. This generates a leakage current
in the ground connection. A fault current in the frequency
converter at the output power terminals might contain a
DC component, which can charge the lter capacitors and
cause a transient ground current. The earth leakage
current depends on various system congurations
including RFI ltering, screened motor cables, and
frequency converter power.
In the case of a ground fault, a DC component develops in
the fault current.
If using ELCB relays, observe local regulations. Relays must
be suitable for protection of 3-phase equipment with a

Mains supply isolated from ground
If the frequency converter is supplied from an isolated
mains source or TT/TN-S mains with grounded leg, turn o
the RFI switch via parameter 14-50 RFI Filter on both
frequency converter and the lter. For further reference,
see IEC 364-3. When optimum EMC performance is needed,
parallel motors are connected, or the motor cable length is
above 25 m, set parameter 14-50 RFI Filter to [ON].
In OFF, the internal RFI capacitors (lter capacitors)
between the enclosure and the DC link are cut o to avoid
damage to the intermediate circuit and reduce ground
capacity currents (IEC 61800-3).
Refer to the application note VLT on IT mains. It is
important to use isolation monitors that work together
with power electronics (IEC 61557-8).

4.6.4 Motor Bearing Currents
Motors with a rating of 110 kW or higher combined with
frequency converters are best with NDE (non-drive end)
insulated bearings to eliminate circulating bearing currents
caused by motor size. To minimise DE (drive end) bearing
and shaft currents, proper grounding is required for:
The frequency converter.
•
The motor.
•
Motor-driven machine.
•
Motor to the driven machine.
•
Although failure due to bearing currents is infrequent, use
the following strategies to reduce the likelihood:
Use an insulated bearing.
•
Apply rigorous installation procedures.
•
Ensure that 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 frequency converter.
Ensure that the impedance from frequency
•
converter to building ground is lower than the
grounding impedance of the machine. Make a
direct ground connection between the motor and
load motor.
Apply conductive lubrication.
•
Balance the line voltage to ground.
•
Use an insulated bearing as recommended by the
•
motor manufacturer.
NOTICE
Motors from reputable manufacturers typically have
insulated bearings as standard in motors of this size.
If necessary, and after consultation with Danfoss:
Lower the IGBT switching frequency.
•
Modify the inverter waveform, 60° AVM vs.
•
SFAVM.
Install a shaft grounding system or use an
•
isolating coupling between motor and load.
Use minimum speed settings if possible.
•
Use a dU/dt or sine-wave lter.

WARNING
INDUCED VOLTAGE
Induced voltage from coupled output motor cables
charges equipment capacitors even with the equipment
turned o and locked out. Run motor cables from
44
multiple frequency converters separately. Failure to run
output cables separately could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
COMPROMISED PERFORMANCE
The frequency converter runs less eciently if wiring is
not isolated properly. To isolate high frequency noise,
place the following in separate metallic conduits:
Power wiring
•
Motor wiring
•
Control wiring
•
Failure to isolate these connections could result in less
than optimum controller and associated equipment
performance.
Because the power wiring carries high-frequency electrical
pulses, it is important to run input power and motor
power in separate conduit. If incoming power wiring is in
the same conduit as motor wiring, these pulses can couple
electrical noise back onto the power grid. Isolate control
wiring from high-voltage power wiring. See Illustration 4.5.
When screened/armoured cable is not used, at least 3
separate conduits are connected to the panel options
cabinet.
Tie down all control wires to the designated control cable
routing as shown in Illustration 4.6, Illustration 4.7,
Illustration 4.8, and Illustration 4.9. Remember to connect
the shields in a proper way to ensure optimum electrical
immunity.

Fieldbus connection
Connections are made to the relevant options on the
control card. For details, see the relevant
instruction. The cable must either be entered through the
access point in the top or be placed in the provided path
inside the frequency converter and tied down with other
control wires (see Illustration 4.6, Illustration 4.7, and
Illustration 4.8).

4.9 Additional Connections
4.9.1 Serial Communication
RS485 is a 2-wire bus interface compatible with multi-drop
network topology, that is nodes can be connected as a
bus, or via drop cables from a common trunk line. A total
of 32 nodes can be connected to 1 network segment.
Repeaters divide networks.
NOTICE
Each repeater functions as a node within the segment in
which it is installed. Each node connected within a given
network must have a unique node address across all
segments.
Terminate each segment at both ends, using either the
termination switch (S801) of the frequency converters or a
biased termination resistor network. Always use screened
twisted pair (STP) cable for bus cabling, and always follow
good common installation practice.
Low-impedance ground connection of the screen at every
node is important, including at high frequencies. Thus,
connect a large surface of the screen to ground, for
example with a cable clamp or a conductive cable gland. It
may be necessary to apply potential-equalizing cables to
maintain the same ground potential throughout the
network, particularly in installations with long cables.
To prevent impedance mismatch, always use the same
type of cable throughout the entire network. When
connecting a motor to the frequency converters, always
use screened motor cable.
4.9.2
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

thermistors in each motor or individual thermal relays.
Circuit breakers are not suitable as protection.
Problems are possible at start and at low RPM values if
motor sizes vary widely. The relatively high ohmic
resistance in the stator of small motors calls for a higher
voltage at start and at low RPM values.

For the North American market: The ETR functions provide
class 20 motor overload protection in accordance with
NEC.
For motor thermal protection, it is also possible to use the
VLT® PTC Thermistor Card MCB 112. This card provides

Initial programming steps
1.Activate PM motor operation in
parameter 1-10 Motor Construction, select [1] PM,
non-salient SPM.
2.
Set parameter 0-02 Motor Speed Unit to [0] RPM.
See Table 5.7 for application-related recommendations.
After selecting PM motor in parameter 1-10 Motor
Construction, the PM motor-related parameters in
parameter groups 1-2* Motor Data, 1-3* Adv. Motor Data,
and 1-4* are active.
Find the necessary data on the motor nameplate and in
the motor data sheet.
Program the following parameters in the listed order:
1.
Parameter 1-24 Motor Current.
2.
Parameter 1-26 Motor Cont. Rated Torque.
3.
Parameter 1-25 Motor Nominal Speed.
4.
Parameter 1-39 Motor Poles.
5.
Parameter 1-30 Stator Resistance (Rs).
Enter line to common stator winding resistance
(Rs). If only line-line data are available, divide the
line-line value with 2 to achieve the line to
common (starpoint) value.
It is also possible to measure the value with an
ohmmeter, which takes the resistance of the
cable into account. Divide the measured value by
2 and enter the result.
6.
Parameter 1-37 d-axis Inductance (Ld).
Enter line to common direct axis inductance of
the PM motor.
If only line-line data are available, divide the lineline value with 2 to achieve the line-common
(starpoint) value.
It is also possible to measure the value with an
inductancemeter, which takes the inductance of
the cable into account. Divide the measured
value by 2 and enter the result.
7.
Parameter 1-40 Back EMF at 1000 RPM
Enter line-line back EMF of PM Motor at 1000
RPM mechanical speed (RMS value). Back EMF is
the voltage generated by a PM motor when no
frequency converter is connected and the shaft is
turned externally. Back EMF is normally specied
for nominal motor speed or for 1000 RPM
measured between 2 lines. If the value is not
available for a motor speed of 1000 RPM,
calculate the correct value as follows: If back EMF
is for example 320 V at 1800 RPM, it can be
calculated at 1000 RPM as follows: Back EMF =
(Voltage/RPM)x1000 = (320/1800)x1000 = 178.
Program this value for parameter 1-40 Back EMF at1000 RPM.
Test motor operation
1.Start the motor at low speed (100–200 RPM). If
the motor does not turn, check installation,
general programming, and motor data.

7.2 Warning and Alarm Types
The frequency converter monitors the condition of its
input power, output, and motor factors, as well as other
system performance indicators. A warning or alarm does
not necessarily indicate a problem internally the frequency
converter. In many cases, it indicates failure conditions
from:
Input voltage.
•
Motor load.
•
Motor temperature.
•
External signals.
•
Other areas monitored by internal logic.
•
Investigate as indicated in the alarm or warning.
7.2.1
Warnings
A warning is issued when an alarm condition is impending
or when an abnormal operating condition is present and
may result in the frequency converter issuing an alarm. A
warning clears by itself when the abnormal condition is
removed.
An alarm is issued when the frequency converter is
tripped, that is, the frequency converter suspends
operation to prevent frequency converter or system
damage. The motor coasts to a stop, if the alarm trip is on
the frequency converter side. The frequency converter
logic continues to operate and monitors the frequency
converter status. After the fault condition is remedied,
reset the frequency converter. It is then ready to start
operation again.
A trip can be reset in any of 4 ways:
Press [Reset] on the LCP.
•
Digital reset input command.
•
Serial communication reset input command.
•
Auto reset.
•
Alarm Trip-lock
7.2.3
An alarm that causes the frequency converter to trip-lock
requires that input power is cycled. If the alarm trip is on
the frequency converter side, the motor coasts to a stop.
The frequency converter logic continues to operate and
monitors the frequency converter status. Remove input
power to the frequency converter and correct the cause of
the fault, then restore power. This action puts the
frequency converter into a trip condition as described in
chapter 7.2.2 Alarm Trip and may be reset in any of the 4
ways.
7.3

A trip is the action when an alarm has appeared. The trip disables the active lter and can be reset by pressing [Reset] or
resetting via a digital input (parameter group 5-1* Digital Inputs [1] Reset). The original event that caused an alarm cannot
damage the active lter or cause dangerous conditions. A trip lock is an action when an alarm occurs, which may cause
damage to active lter or connected parts. A trip lock situation can only be reset by a power cycling.

1) For type of fuse see chapter 8.4.1 Fuses.
2) American Wire Gauge.
3) Measured using 5 m screened motor cables at rated load and rated frequency.
4) The typical power loss is at nominal load conditions and expected to be within ±15% (tolerence relates to
variety in voltage and cable conditions). Values are based on a typical motor eciency(e2/e3 border line).
Motors with lower eciency also add to the power loss in the frequency converter and opposite. If the switching
frequency is increased compared to the default setting, the power losses may rise signicantly. LCP and typical
control card power consumptions are included. Further options and customer load may add up to 30 W to the
losses (though typical only 4 W extra for a fully loaded control card, or options for slot A or slot B, each).
Although measurements are made with state-of-the-art equipment, some measurement inaccuracy must be
allowed for (±5%).

NOTICE
Connection to PC is carried out via a standard host/device USB cable.
The USB connection is galvanically isolated from the supply voltage (PELV) and other high-voltage terminals.
The USB connection is not galvanically isolated from protective earth. Use only an isolated laptop/PC as connection to
the USB connector on the frequency converter or an isolated USB cable/converter.
Protection and features:
Electronic thermal motor protection against overload.
•
Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the frequency converter trips if the temperature reaches a
•
predened level. An overload temperature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heat sink is below the
allowed values.
The frequency converter is protected against short circuits on motor terminals U, V, W.
•
If a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
•
Monitoring of the DC-link voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips if the intermediate circuit voltage is
•
too low or too high.
The frequency converter is protected against ground faults on motor terminals U, V, W.
