3 Product Overview

3.1 Product Characteristics

The VACON® 1000 medium-voltage drive is an alternating current speed regulating device from Danfoss. The drive features include excellent performance, easy and convenient operation, and a wide range of applications using IGBT power devices and complete digital control.
High efficiency and low distortion
The used multi-pulse input rectification transformer technology efficiently lowers the content of the input side distortion cur­rent to less than 5%. It meets the IEEE 519-1992 standard and the strict requirements of electric grids for distortion, and enhan­ces the power factor to more than 0.96 lagging.
With the used cell-cascaded multilevel technology, there is normally no need for an output filter, and the output voltage wave­form is similar to a sine-wave.
System efficiency >98.5% (at rated frequency, excluding transformer).
Tolerant to power disturbances and wide applicable scope
When the input voltage is as low as 70%, the system can still continue derated operation.
With automatic output voltage adjusting function, when the input voltage fluctuates between 90–110%, the output voltage can still be kept steady. Thus, safe and steady operation of the motor is possible.
High reliability
SOA (Service-oriented architecture) design ensures that the system operates in a wide safe range:
-
Sufficient design margin makes sure that each device operates in the middle area of the safe operating area.
-
Optimized thermal design ensures temperature margin for the devices.
-
The DC-link capacitors are designed for long lifetime service.
Redundant auxiliary control power.
The system provides a self-diagnosis function to show the position and type of failure and warn the user about the fault occur­rence.
Automatic detection and warning function for cooling fan failure or excessive dust in the inlet air filter notifying the user to conduct maintenance.
Production quality management, control flow process, and perfect test equipment and methods ensure the effective imple­mentation of each test item for devices, components, and units during the manufacturing process at Danfoss.
Site flexibility
The compact structure and high power density of VACON® 1000 can reduce the space requirements on site.
The electric connections between the cabinets use highly reliable connectors which are easy to install and maintain.
Easy-to-operate human-machine interface.
Sufficient communication interfaces, which can be professionally configured in accordance with the application requirements.

tem default setting is that, when the transformer temperature exceeds 95°C, the system reports an excessive high temperature alarm but does not shut down. When the temperature exceeds 110°C, the system reports an extra-high temperature fault and shuts down.
In standalone systems, the same fan is used to cool the transformer and power cell cabinets.

3.3.4 Junction Cabinet
The junction cabinet is used for field cable connections. See 6.5 Cable Entry and Termination.
3.3.5 Start-up Cabinet
The start-up cabinet (+PSTC) is an option for the VACON® 1000 line-up systems. The main function of the start-up cabinet is to de­press inrush currents that can lead to a dip in the supply voltage:
A phase-shifting transformer with a large capacity can produce a magnetizing surge as high as 6–8 times the rated current of the transformer itself.
The power cells of the drive contain several capacitors, which require a large precharge current when high voltage is applied.
Illustration 12: Start-up Cabinet Primary Side Diagram
Install the start-up cabinet between the high-voltage power input and phase-shifting transformer. When the MCB of the drive is closed, the start-up cabinet limits the magnetizing surge and charge current of the capacitance quickly and efficiently. After the drive is powered up, the current-limiting resistance passes through the KM51 bypass, and the drive can function normally.
The main electrical components of the start-up cabinet are a high-voltage switch (vacuum contactor or vacuum breaker) and a cur­rent-limiting resistor.

Operating Guide
Product Overview
Illustration 13: Start-up Cabinet
The function of current-limiting resistance is to limit the primary current when a high voltage is connected. Each resistor can bear a 30 kJ energy during the power-up. The capacity of the drive defines how much resistance is needed in the start-up cabinet: the larger the capacity, the more current-limiting resistors are needed.
The function of the high-voltage switch is to bypass the current-limiting resistor after the powering-up procedure, making the drive function under normal load. If the rated current is small, a vacuum contactor can be used. If the rated current is large, a vacuum breaker can be used.
Operation process
Power up the drive.
The control program confirms if the system is ready and if the cabinet switch is separated or not.
Power up the start-up cabinet and the control program counts the time it takes to complete the process. The process requires about 5 s.
The closing of the start-up cabinet switch bypasses the charged resistor and the drive has status 'running allowed'.
When to select the Start-up cabinet option?
The MCB protection at the installation site must not trip because of the inrush current when the drive is powered up or in normal overload conditions. The overcurrent protection of the MCB must be set in the grey area shown in Illustration 14.
If the MCB meets these requirements, the start-up cabinet is not required. It is important to verify this condition, especially in retrofit applications where a circuit breaker is already installed at the motor control center panel.
Even if it is not required, a start-up cabinet can still be installed to:
Reduce inrush current.
Reduce stresses in the electrical installation during the drive power-up operation.

3.3.6 Output Filter Cabinet
The output filter cabinet is an optional cabinet which is connected at the output of the drive, between the inverter and motor. The filter is used to:
Reduce the dU/dt of the voltage waveform.
Prevent resonance/overvoltage caused by motor cables.
Reduce the charging current of the cable.
Illustration 15: Output Filter Cabinet Circuit Diagram
Install the output filter cabinet between the drive and motor. The filter consists of a reactor and paralleling damping resistors. The reactor decreases the rising edge of the PWM. The resistor damps the resonance caused by the reactor and stray inductance.

When to select the Output Filter cabinet option?
The need for an output filter is application and case specific. Several things must be considered to find out if a dU/dt Filter is re­quired:
The type of the motor.
The type of the motor cable.
The length of the motor cable.
To evaluate if a dU/dt Filter is required, contact Danfoss.

The sequence in which the drive is switched from running to bypassed:
1. KM41 is opened.
2. KM42 is opened.
3. KM43 is closed.
Secondary Control Logic
The three switches KM41–KM43 use assistant contact interlock to ensure that the time course is followed.
KM41 does not open and KM42 does not act when the normally closed contactor of KM41 is connected into the opening circuit of KM42.
The normally closed contactor of KM42 is connected to the MCB-closed circuit of KM43.
The normally closed contactor of KM43 is connected to the MCB-closed circuit of KM42.
KM43 is not able to close the MCB when KM42 is not opening.
KM42 is not able to close MCB when KM43 is not opening.
The status of the five switches KM41–KM43 and QS41–QS42 is monitored through the PLC.
If any switch is not at the right working position, the system does not allow the MCB to close, and powering up high voltage to the system is forbidden.
If the drive goes into fault, the system breaks the switch automatically to cut off the HV input for safety, if KM41 is not able to open during the process of VF switching to working frequency automatically.
The two switches KM42 and KM43 control the function of reserving postponed action in the circuit, which can adjust the action interval of the switch during the process of VF switching to working frequency. It can be more convenient to calibrate the machine on site according to the status of the electric motor and load, to switch speed reasonably to avoid an overcurrent malfunction be­cause of the electric motor remanence.

Product Overview
Switch SF2 is used to select between variable-frequency (VF) and power-frequency (PF) switching.
When the automatic bypass cabinet is in manual operation mode, and switch SF2 is in PF position, the drive switches the system to PF bypass status automatically.
When switch SF2 is in VF position, the drive can switch from power-frequency bypass status to variable-frequency mode auto­matically (QS41 and QS42 must be closed). This function needs the coordination of engine racing starting-up. Therefore, engine racing must be enabled and must comply with all the related electric motor parameters.
VF logic sequence:
-
KM41 is closed.
-
If self-detection shows normal after 10 s, bypass switch KM43 is opened.
-
KM42 is closed.
-
Automatic engine racing of the drive starts up.
-
PF is switched to VF.

3.3.7.3 Synchronous Transfer Cabinet
The synchronous transfer function can realize undisturbed transfer between the grid and the drive, and reduce the impact on the motor and grid. The primary circuit is shown in Illustration 23. The switching devices and cabinets are the same as in the automatic bypass cabinet. QS41 and QS42 are for drive maintenance use and are closed during operation.

The typical main circuit topological structure diagram of VACON® 1000 medium-voltage drive is shown in Illustration 24.
Illustration 24: Main Circuit Diagram of VACON® 1000
The phase-shift rectifier transformer is a 3-phase air-cooled dry-type transformer directly connected with the incoming high voltage. The secondary windings use an extended delta connection, which can lower the content of the input side current distortion. The phase-shift angle between the secondary windings can be calculated according to the following formula:
Phase − shiftangle =
The secondary windings of the transformer provide input power for each power cell respectively. The number of secondary wind­ings and the phase-shift angle between the windings are determined according to the voltage level and structure of the drive, as

3.4.2 Power Cells
The power cell is the basic module of the medium-voltage drive, which produces a variable voltage and frequency output. It is com­posed of fast acting fuses, a rectification bridge, DC-link capacitance, IGBT inverting bridge, and so on.
The input terminals of the power cells are connected with the 3-phase winding of the secondary side of the phase-shift transformer. The 3-phase diode provides full-wave rectification to charge the DC-link capacitance, and the voltage on the capacitance is provi­ded to the H-bridge 1-phase bridge inverter circuit formed by 4 IGBTs.
The power cell receives signals through optical fibers, and controls the closing and opening of the S1–S4 IGBTs by using PWM mod­ulation mode to output a 1-phase impulse modulated waveform. Each cell has only 3 possible output states:
When S1 and S4 are closed, the state of the output voltage VUV is VDC.
When S2 and S3 are closed, the output voltage VUV is -VDC.
When S1 and S3 or S2 and S4 are closed, the output voltage VUV is 0.
Illustration 25 shows the waveform diagram of the output voltage of each power cell and the superimposed output phase voltage
waveform when 6 cells are connected in series. As shown in the figure, 13 voltage levels are obtained through connecting the 6 power cells in series. The increasing number of the voltage levels reduces the distortion content of the output voltage and simulta­neously lowers the risk of damaging the motor insulation caused by dU/dt. Illustration 26 and Illustration 27 are the waveform dia­grams of the output voltage and current of the drive when loaded by a motor.

Product Overview
Each power cell has an independent cell control board and driver board. The cell control board receives the PWM signal transmitted by the main control system through optical fiber to control the IGBT. Simultaneously, the status information of each power cell is fed back to the main control system by the cell control board through optical fiber. The driver board is used to drive the IGBT and feedback the failure signal of the IGBTs to the cell control board, such as short-circuit protection.
3.4.3 Control System
An example structure diagram of the control system is shown in Illustration 28. The number of power cells depends on the nominal voltage of the drive.

Product Overview
VACON® 1000 delivers high performance control accuracy using Vector Control. The ability to control motor flux and speed inde­pendently yields fast dynamic response to load fluctuations and high torque at low speeds, including during motor startup. The control diagram is shown in Illustration 29.
Both encoder and sensorless Vector Control approaches are available for selection. The speed sensors can be installed depending on actual application conditions. For cases without the speed sensors, the system can still provide fast dynamic responses and high output torque when the motor is running at low speed.

5.4 Dimensions of the Enclosed Drive

See the dimensions of the drive cabinet in 11.2 Power Ratings and Dimensions. Always refer to the delivery-specific information for the accurate dimensions.

5.5 Cooling and Free Space Around the Enclosed Drive

The AC drive produces heat in operation. VACON® 1000 uses forced air cooling to control the temperature of the transformer, power cells, and other components. Fans on the top of the cabinet provide the airflow. The cool air is drawn into the cabinet through the inlet and directed out from the outlet as shown in the picture.
Illustration 41: Flow of Cooling Air
Make sure that the temperature of the cooling air does not become higher than the maximum ambient operating temperature or lower than the minimum ambient operating temperature of the drive. See 5.1 Operating Environment.
AQ363633621020en-000201 / 172F3117 | 45Danfoss A/S © 2021.06
VACON® 1000
Operating Guide
Make sure that the hot air goes out of the cabinet and does not come back into the cabinet. There must be free space above the cabinet without obstacles that can stop the airflow. Some free space in front of the cabinet is also necessary to be able to open the cabinet doors and for maintenance.
The back side of the cabinet can be placed against a wall.
The distance between the cabinet front and walls ≥1500 mm.
The distance between the cabinet fan cover top and ceiling:
-
≥400 mm for non-ducted drives.
-
≥1000 mm for ducted drives.
The power loss of the AC drive can change significantly, when the load, the output frequency or the switching frequency changes. It is useful to know the power loss, when planning the cooling equipment in an electrical room.
To calculate the power loss, use the ecoSmart tool. See http://ecosmart.danfoss.com/#/app/intro.
Mechanical Installation
5.5.1 Air Ducting Guidelines
Air ducts can be used to direct the warm outlet air from the VACON® 1000 out from the electrical room. Guidelines for using an air duct:
The outlet area of the air duct must be larger than the sum of the cabinet fan outlet areas.
The air inlet area of the cabinet location must be larger than 1.2–1.5 times the sum of the fan outlet areas. The air inlet must have a primary air filter.
The outlet of the air duct must be waterproof to prevent water entering the air duct.
The recommended maximum length of the air duct is 3 m. For longer air ducts, support brackets and an induced draft fan are required.

6.6 Grounding

Use interconnection busbars to connect the ground busbars in each cabinet. In installations following the IEC standard, the cross-sectional area of the interconnection busbars must be at least:
Standalone type: 25 mm × 3 mm.
Lineup type <350 A: 40 mm × 3 mm.
Lineup type 350–680 A: 50 mm × 4 mm.
In installations following the UL standard, the cross-sectional area of the interconnection busbars must be at least 50 mm × 6 mm. Connect the main grounding busbar of the cabinet to the system grounding cable. The recommended minimum cross-sectional
area for the connection is 95 mm2.
The cross-sectional area of the grounding cables must be ≥16 mm2 and no more than half of the cross-sectional area of the high voltage phase wires. In addition, the grounding resistance of the grounding connection must be lower than 4 Ω.
The ground leakage current value must be lower than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC and must meet the safety specifications related to high leakage current equipment.
The PE of the system grounding terminal must be grounded reliably to prevent accidents. Do not use the same grounding wire with other power equipment or welding machine. Ground each drive independently where
there are multiple drives in the same room. Series connection to the ground is forbidden.
Illustration 50: Grounding Connection Between Cabinets

6.7 Power Cable Selection

Use armored three-core copper cable with XLPE or ERP insulation and metallic shield.
The wire sectional area recommended for the power and motor cables is based on the single-cable method of the three-core cable and an ambient temperature of 40°C. If the conditions change (cable configuration, cable bundle, and ambient tempera­ture), refer to the design information according to the cable configuration.
The highest temperature of the cables in the cabinet when operating continuously is 90°C.
The motor cable in the cabinet is copper-core with ethylene-propylene rubber insulation and chloroethene jacket.
If the input voltage is larger than the output voltage, the nominal voltage of the output power cable must be equal to the input voltage.

6.8 Additional Instructions for Cable Installation

For the specific wiring scheme, see the site wiring diagram. Note the following during cabling:
Only use symmetrically EMC shielded cables between the drive and other equipment (high voltage power cabinet and motor).
To avoid interference, route the control signals, communication, power source cables, and power motor separately rather than in the same cabling slot. If separate routing is impossible, the spacing between the control, signal, communication and power source cables, and power motor cables must be >30 cm.
If it is possible, do not put the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.
For the control signals, use multi-core wire with a shielding layer, wherein the shielding layer is equipotentially grounded at both ends and is not too long.
The wires used to transmit different signals must be routed in an alternative and mutually vertical way, for example AC signal and DC signal.

6.9 Control Wiring

6.9.1 Control Cable Selection
Control power cables
Use low-voltage cables with PVC or XLPE insulations of copper, with shield, and in single or multi-core constructions. Cable specification for input voltage 208–600 V:
Solid type cable, 2.5–6.0 mm2, or 14–10 AWG.
Flexible type cable, 4.0 mm2, or 12 AWG.
Cable specification for input voltage 120 V:
Solid type cable, two parallel connected cables, 2.5–6.0 mm2, or 14–10 AWG.
Flexible type cable, two parallel connected cables, 4.0 mm2, or 12 AWG.

Operating Guide
Electrical Installation
The drive has a double supply circuit. If external power is lost, the supply switches to the auxiliary winding of the phase-shift trans­former to output 1-phase power, and the drive can still operate normally. When the external power is restored, the supply switches back to the external power.
Protection Requirements for the Supply Circuit TT networks: If the neutral point of the control power is directly grounded, connect the frame to the grounding terminal (the
grounding terminal has no connection with the neutral point grounding).
IT networks: The neutral point of the control power is not directly grounded.
6.9.3 Control Circuit Wiring
The wiring terminals of the control circuit are as shown in table.
The digital input terminals must be passive nodes with a capacity of 1 A/24 V DC.
The digital output terminals provided by the system are passive nodes with a capacity of 5 A/220 V AC or 5 A/220 V DC.
The definitions of all the I/O terminals are defaults, and can be defined and configured again according to requirements.

Commissioning

8 Commissioning

8.1 Safety Checks before Starting the Commissioning

Only qualified and trained engineers authorized by Danfoss are allowed to do the commissioning of the VACON® 1000 medium­voltage drive.
Functional tests, commissioning, and primary parameter calibration must be executed by professional engineers in coordination with the end users to make sure that the final test and performance are according to the end users requirements.
Before starting the commissioning, read these warnings.
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM POWER UNIT COMPONENTS
The power unit components are live when the drive is connected to mains. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or seri-
ous injury.
Do not touch the components of the power unit when the drive is connected to mains. Before connecting the drive to mains,
-
make sure that the covers of the drive are closed.
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM TERMINALS
The motor terminals U, V, W are live when the drive is connected to mains, also when the motor does not operate. A contact with
this voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
Do not touch the motor terminals U, V, W when the drive is connected to mains. Before connecting the drive to mains, make
-
sure that the covers of the drive are closed.
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM DC LINK OR EXTERNAL SOURCE
The terminal connections and the components of the drive can be live several minutes after the drive is disconnected from the
mains and the motor has stopped. The load side of the drive can also generate voltage. A contact with this voltage can lead to
death or serious injury.
Disconnect the drive from the mains and make sure that the motor has stopped.
-
Disconnect the motor. Lock out and tag out the power source to the drive. Make sure that no external source generates unintended voltage during work. To ground the drive input and DC link, close the grounding switch. If there is no grounding switch, make sure that the drive input and DC link are grounded for work. Also ground the motor terminals for work. Wait for the DC-link capacitors to discharge fully before opening the cabinet door or the cover of the AC drive. Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.

8.2 Personnel Requirements

At least two professional electrical technicians are necessary as the operators for commissioning. The operators must meet the fol­lowing conditions.
Must be familiar with the low, medium, and high-voltage electrical equipment and the related safety regulations.

8.6 Interlocking System

8.6.1 Electromagnetic Interlocking System
N O T I C E
The electromagnetic interlocking system is installed as standard in IEC type drives.
The electromagnetic interlocking system ensures that the cabinet doors cannot be opened during operation of the drive.
Operation of the electromagnetic interlocking system
Before HV power on: All electromagnetic locks are energized, all doors are unlocked, and can be opened or closed. Only after all doors are closed, and after self-diagnosis, the PLC can send out the "MCB closing allowed" signal.
HV power on: Once the MCB is closed to power the drive, the electromagnetic locks are de-energized, the doors are locked, and cannot be opened during operation of the drive. If the doors are opened despite the locking (for example, by force), an "MCB trip" signal is immediately sent to trip the MCB.
HV power off: After the drive is powered off and the power cell discharge process is completed (15 minutes), the electromagnet­ic locks are energized, the doors are unlocked, and can be opened.
8.6.2 Mechanical Interlocking System
N O T I C E
The mechanical interlocking system is installed as standard in UL type drives. It is available as an option for IEC variants.
The interlock system ensures that a process is followed and cannot be circumvented or short cut. The transfer of a key ensures that wherever personnel find themselves, in either starting or shutting down operations, they can be assured that they are safe.
The interlock device contains three main parts:
Main key for the isolating means (only one)
Door keys (one for each cabinet door)
Key exchange box
Illustration 68: Key Exchange Box
Operation of the interlock system
While the main key for the isolating means is free from the key exchange box, the other door keys are locked in the box.
To release the door keys sequentially, insert and turn the main key in the key exchange box. The released keys can then be used to open the cabinet doors and to access the hazardous areas.
The inserted main key stays locked in the key exchange box until all the released door keys are returned to their original posi­tions.
The drive cannot be restarted until all the door keys are returned to the key exchange box and the main key is removed and taken to the isolating means.

9 Maintenance

9.1 Safety

C A U T I O N
Only authorized trained personnel can conduct service on the VACON® 1000 medium-voltage drive.
Do not conduct any service, spare parts replacements, or other related operations which are not described in this manual.
-
Do not revise the system software or connect other equipment with the drive. If changes are required, contact Danfoss. Do not modify or scratch the labels and markings of the drive, as these are provided for the safety of the users and for the use of the product.
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM DC LINK OR EXTERNAL SOURCE
The terminal connections and the components of the drive can be live several minutes after the drive is disconnected from the
mains and the motor has stopped. The load side of the drive can also generate voltage. A contact with this voltage can lead to
death or serious injury.
Do not do touch the main circuit of the drive or the motor before the system is powered off and grounded.
-
Disconnect the drive from the mains and make sure that the motor has stopped. Disconnect the motor. Lock out and tag out the power source to the drive. Make sure that no external source generates unintended voltage during work. Ground the drive for work. Wait 15 minutes for the DC-link capacitors to discharge fully before opening the cabinet door or the cover of the AC drive. Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.
W A R N I N G
SHOCK HAZARD
Output voltage detection signals are wired from the voltage divider board to the AD board in the control unit. If any of these
wires are disconnected while MV power is on, a transient high voltage is generated.
Do not disconnect any wires from the AD board terminals while MV power is on.
-
More than one disconnect switch can be required to de-energize the equipment before maintenance.
Low-voltage fuses that are accessible with the control transformer can be energized. Cut off the supply to the control transform­er before replacing the fuses.
There are bulk DC-link capacitors in the drive, which must be discharged to a level below 50 V DC for safe maintenance work.
The socket in the control cabinet is only for maintaining or repairing equipment. The current rating is 10 A. Any equipment with rated current larger than 10 A is prohibited. This equipment does not provide isolation. Separate isolating means are required.
-
The isolating means listed in Table 9 or equivalent can be used.

10 Fault Tracing

10.1 Fault Types

When the control diagnostics of the drive find an unusual condition in the operation of the drive, the drive shows a notification about it. The notification can be seen on the display of the control panel. The display shows the number, the name, and a short description of the fault or alarm.
There are 2 different types of notification.
An alarm informs of unusual operation on the drive. The alarm does not stop the drive. The system can be powered on, started, and operated normally.
A fault stops the drive immediately. Reset the drive and find a solution to the problem. Do not operate the system until the problem has been found and corrected.
It is possible to configure different responses for some faults in the application. See
To view specific information about alarms or faults, click AlarmFault. Before contacting the distributor or the factory because of unusual operation, prepare some data. Write down the fault number and
all other information on the display.

10.2 Fault Response Configuration
