VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive
Operating Guide
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM TERMINALS
The motor terminals U, V, W, the brake resistor terminals, and the DC-link terminals must be treated as live when the drive is
connected to mains. Contact with this voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
Do not touch the motor terminals U, V, W, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals when the drive is connected to
-
mains. Do not do any work on live equipment. Before doing any work on the drive, follow proper lock out and tag out procedure. Before connecting the drive to mains, make sure that all covers are installed on the drive and the enclosure doors 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. The discharge time is <7 minutes for AFE drives and <21 minutes for 12-pulse drives. Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.
Safety
W A R N I N G
SHOCK HAZARD FROM CONTROL TERMINALS
The control terminals can have a dangerous voltage also when the drive is disconnected from mains. A contact with this voltage
can lead to injury.
Make sure that there is no voltage in the control terminals before touching the control terminals.
-
W A R N I N G
ACCIDENTAL MOTOR START
When there is a power-up, a power break, or a fault reset, the motor starts immediately if the start signal is active, unless the pulse
control for Start/Stop logic is selected. If the parameters, the applications or the software change, the I/O functions (including the
start inputs) can change. If you activate the auto reset function, the motor starts automatically after an automatic fault reset. See
the Application Guide. Failure to ensure that the motor, system, and any attached equipment are ready for start can result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
Disconnect the motor from the drive if an accidental start can be dangerous. Make sure that the equipment is safe to operate
-

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND APPROVED TOOLS
When doing electrical work on the AC drive, always use personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools which are approved for
work with medium-voltage devices.

2.5 Main Circuit Breaker

The main circuit breaker (MCB) is an important protection device for the drive. If there is a serious fault in the drive, the MCB imme­diately disconnects the main supply to the drive. To protect personnel and to prevent further damage to the equipment, the main supply must be disconnected immediately with an open or trip command from the drive.
If the drive is supplied through a dedicated transformer, install the MCB on the primary side of the supply transformer (see Illustra-
tion 1).
Illustration 1: Overview of the Drive System
2.5.1 Safety and Protection Requirements
For safety and protection, the MCB must meet the minimum requirements of the specifications of Danfoss medium-voltage drives. The minimum requirements for the MCB are stated in this manual and in the respective MCB specifications, which are available for each medium-voltage drive from Danfoss. The system integrator must make sure that the minimum requirements are met.
The safety requirements for the drive are based on the following standards:
EN ISO 13849-1: Safety of machinery, Safety-related parts of control systems, General principles for design, section 6.2.6 Catego­ry 3
UL347A, Edition 1: Standard for Medium Voltage Power Conversion Equipment
2.5.2 Minimum Requirements for MCB and MCB Control
Requirements
To meet the stipulated safety requirements, Danfoss requires the following:
MCB is equipped with 2 independent opening coils.
MCB is equipped with an opening coil and an undervoltage coil for monitoring of the control voltage.
Route the MCB open and trip commands directly from the drive to the MCB.
-
Do not route the trip command through any PLC or DCS (distributed control system) which is not certified to meet SIL 3­level requirements and to fulfill the given timing requirements.
-
Opening of the MCB by the drive must be possible at any time. Do not interrupt the open and trip commands, for example, by a local-remote switch in the MCB.

VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive
Operating Guide
Closing the MCB locally is not permitted. When the MCB is in the service position, the drive must have exclusive control of clos­ing the MCB.
The maximum opening time of the MCB must never exceed the product or project specific maximum time defined in the MCB specifications.
Typical maximum protection and safety trip time for the drive: 60 ms
Recommendations
To meet the stipulated safety requirements, Danfoss recommends the following:
Provide an upstream protection coordination scheme which uses the "breaker failure" (ANSI 50BF) signal to trip the upstream breaker automatically, in case the MCB does not open.
After a failure has occurred, the upstream breaker must open within the maximum protection and safety trip time.

3 Product Overview

3.1 Intended Use

VACON® 3000 is a liquid-cooled AC drive for stepless speed or torque control of medium-voltage induction motors. VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive is a complete medium-voltage drive installed in a cabinet.
VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive is available for industrial applications with motor voltages of 3300 V and 4160 V, and in a power range starting from 2 MW. Basic configurations have a power of 2 MW or 3 MW. These configurations can be paralleled for systems of 4 MW and above.
Two different drive configurations are available:
Regenerative, with an active front-end (AFE)
Non-regenerative, with a 12-pulse diode front-end (DFE)
Illustration 2: Example of the VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive

3.2 Product Description

3.2.1 AFE Drive
An example diagram of the regenerative VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive is shown in Illustration 3. The main components of the drive are:
The active front-end (AFE) unit includes 3 or 6 liquid-cooled 1-phase power conversion units (PCU). 3 of the phase modules are installed in parallel to make a 3-phase converter. The AFE converts the supplied AC voltage to DC voltage. It also enables the supply of power to the supply network when the motor is braking.
The inverter unit (INU) includes 3 or 6 of the same liquid-cooled 1-phase modules, which are used in the AFE. The INU converts the DC voltage to the AC voltage and frequency supplied to the motor.
The LC filter (FLC) limits harmonic current on the supply network.
The pre-charge unit (PRC) charges the DC-link capacitors.
The AFE and INU control units (CNU-AFE/CNU-INU) are connected to the power conversion units with optical fibers.
The auxiliary I/O board (AXU-IOB) provides galvanic separation between I/Os in the MV section and the control unit in the LV section of the cabinet.
The basic VACON® 3000 AFE drive is intended for installations, where the system is supplied by a dedicated transformer and the source impedance is small. These installations are usually on land. The drive includes an LC filter instead of an LCL filter, because the supply side inductance is included in the dedicated transformer.
It is recommended to install a dedicated transformer for the drive. If the drive is not supplied by a dedicated transformer (that is, there are other loads than the drive on the same supply):

3.2.2 12-Pulse Drive
An example diagram of the 12-pulse non-regenerative VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive is shown in Illustration 4. The main compo­nents of the drive are:
The diode front-end unit (DFE) is a liquid-cooled 12-pulse power conversion unit (PCU), which changes the supplied AC voltage to DC voltage. The 12-pulse configuration is used to limit harmonics on the supply network.
The inverter unit (INU) includes 3 or 6 liquid-cooled 1-phase power conversion units (PCU). 3 of the phase modules are installed in parallel to make a 3-phase converter. The INU converts the DC voltage to the AC voltage and frequency supplied to the mo­tor.
The pre-charge unit (PRC) charges the DC-link capacitors.
The INU control unit (CNU-INU) is connected to the inverter units with optical fibers.
The auxiliary I/O board (AXU-IOB) provides galvanic separation between I/Os in the MV section and the control unit in the LV section of the cabinet.
The 12-pulse DFE must be supplied by a dedicated transformer with two secondary windings. For the full main circuit diagrams, see 11.3.2 VACON® 3000 12-Pulse Main Circuit Diagrams.

5.4 Liquid Cooling Requirements

5.4.1 Safety in Liquid-cooling
W A R N I N G
POISONOUS COOLANTS
Glycols and inhibitors are poisonous. If touched or consumed, they can cause injury.
Prevent the coolant from getting into the eyes. Do not drink the coolant.
-
C A U T I O N
HOT COOLANT
Hot coolant can cause burns.
Avoid contact with the hot coolant.
-
Mechanical Installation
C A U T I O N
PRESSURIZED COOLING SYSTEM
Sudden release of pressure from the cooling system can cause injury.
Be careful when operating the cooling system.
-
N O T I C E
INSUFFICIENT COOLING CAPACITY
Insufficient cooling can cause the product to become too hot and thus become damaged.
To make sure that the cooling capacity of the cooling system stays sufficient, make sure that the cooling system is vented
-
and that the coolant circulates properly.
5.4.2 General Information on Liquid Cooling
VACON® 3000 drives are liquid-cooled. The liquid circulation of the drive is connected to a heat-exchanger that cools down the liquid circulating in the cooling elements of the drive. The power modules have aluminum heat sinks, which give good and safe temperature control. Because the cooling elements are made of aluminum, the cooling liquids allowed to be used are inhibited pure water, inhibited demineralized water, or an inhibited mixture of water and glycol.
The inductors of the input and output filters use air-to-liquid heat exchanger units for forced air cooling. The heat exchangers de­crease the heat losses to the air and thus decreases the number of fans necessary for cooling the cabinet.
There are two types of cooling systems: open systems and closed systems. An open system has no pressure but the hydrostatic and pumping pressure. It allows free contact between the cooling liquid and
air. Air is continuously dissolved into the cooling liquid. In a closed system, the piping is air-tight and there is a preset pressure inside the pipes. The pipes must be made of metal, or a
specific plastic or rubber that includes an oxygen barrier that limits the diffusion of oxygen. Minimizing of oxygen content in the cooling liquid decreases the risk of corrosion of the metal parts. Closed systems usually have an expansion vessel that allows for a safe change of volume of the cooling liquid due to temperature changes.
Always use a closed system with Danfoss liquid-cooled drives.

5.4.3 Cooling Liquid
5.4.3.1 Quality Requirements for the Purified Water
N O T I C E
DAMAGE TO SYSTEM FROM THE USE OF HYDROCARBONS
Hydrocarbons damage the rubber seals of the cooling system.
Do not use hydrocarbons (for example mineral oil) as coolant. Do not mix hydrocarbons to coolant.
-
Table 6: Requirements for the Purified Water
Mechanical Installation
5.4.3.2 Purified Water as Coolant
Purified water can be used as coolant if there is no risk of freezing. Freezing water permanently damages the cooling system. Puri­fied water is demineralized, deionized, or distilled water.
Always use an inhibitor Cortec VpCI-649 with 1.0% of volume with purified water.
C A U T I O N
CORROSION HAZARD WITH DRINKING WATER
Some components are made of aluminum, which has limited corrosion resistance against high chloride concentrations. Drinking
water can have a chloride concentration of 250 ppm, which increases the aluminum corrosion rate. High chloride concentration
exposes aluminum especially to pitting corrosion which can damage the system relatively quickly.
Use purified (demineralized, deionized, or distilled) water with corrosion inhibitors.
-
5.4.3.3 Antifreeze Mix as Coolant
The following antifreeze products are a good general solution for liquid cooling since they provide freeze protection and corrosion protection.
The allowed antifreeze coolants are the following ethylene glycols and propylene glycols.
Ethylene glycols
DOWCAL 100
Clariant Antifrogen N
Propylene glycols
DOWCAL 200
Clariant Antifrogen L
These glycols already include corrosion inhibitors. Do not add any other inhibitor. Do not mix different glycol qualities because there can be harmful chemical interactions.
AQ286660579921en-000101 / DPD02033 | 27Danfoss A/S © 2021.09
VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive
Operating Guide
The glycol concentration of the coolant must be 25–55% by volume, according to the specified ambient temperature. Higher con­centration reduces cooling capacity. Lower concentration results in biological growth and inadequate amount of corrosion inhibi­tors. Antifreeze must be mixed with purified water according to 5.4.3.1 Quality Requirements for the Purified Water.
Mechanical Installation
5.4.3.4 Temperature of the Cooling Liquid
To gain full performance of the product, the temperature of the cooling liquid entering the drive components must be a maximum of 43°C (109°F) and above the dew point. While circulating inside the cooling element, the liquid transfers the heat produced by the power semiconductors and other components. The temperature rise of the cooling liquid during the circulation is typically less than 4°C (7.2°F). Typically, more than 95% of the power losses are dissipated in the cooling liquid. It is recommended to equip the cooling circulation with temperature supervision.
The secondary circuit maximum temperature must always be lower than the primary circuit temperature. The temperature differ­ence must be at least 5°C (9°F) with equal flow. The temperature difference is necessary for the correct operation of the heat ex­changer.
There are 3 external causes that affect the nominal temperature of the primary circuit:
The maximum ambient temperature at the drive installation location.
The maximum relative humidity at the drive installation location.
The maximum secondary circuit liquid temperature.
All these causes must be examined when calculating the primary circuit temperature. The primary circuit temperature can be differ­ent for each installation.
5.4.3.5 Condensation
Condensation must be avoided. Always keep the temperature of the cooling liquid a minimum 2°C (3.6°F) above the dew point. Use the graph in Illustration 10 to see if the conditions (combination of room temperature, humidity, and cooling liquid temperature) are safe for the drive to operate.
The conditions are safe when the point is below the related (cooling liquid temperature) curve. If they are not, decrease the ambient temperature or the relative humidity. Also the cooling liquid temperature can be increased. Note, that if the cooling liquid tempera­ture is increased above the figures in loadability charts, it decreases the nominal output current of the drive. The curves in Illustra-
tion 10 are valid at sea level altitude (1013 mbar/14.69 psi).
If the temperature of the liquid in the secondary circuit is lower than the ambient temperature and the relative humidity is high, condensation can occur on the secondary circuit pipes and the plate heat exchanger in the HX unit. The condensation is not dan­gerous, but it is not recommended. If there is condensation in the HX unit, it can cause the leak sensor in the cabinet to give a leak alarm. If a leak alarm occurs again and again, install insulation in the secondary circuit pipes and the plate heat exchanger. The insulation stops the condensation and thus prevents the incorrect leak alarms.

Illustration 10: Safe Operating Conditions in Relation to Condensation
Example Safe Operating Conditions
If the ambient temperature is +30°C (+86°F), the relative humidity is 40% and the cooling liquid temperature is +20°C (+68°F, the lowest curve in Illustration 10), then the drive operation conditions are safe.
If the ambient temperature increases to +35°C (+95°F) and the relative humidity to 60%, then the operation conditions of the drive are not safe. To get safe operation conditions, the ambient temperature must be decreased to +28°C (+82°F) or below. If it is not possible to lower the ambient temperature, then the cooling liquid temperature can be increased to +25°C (+77°F) or above.
Example Dew Point and Primary Circuit Temperature
If the ambient temperature and the maximum relative humidity at the drive installation location is known, the dew point chart (see
Illustration 11) can be used to find the correct temperature for the primary circuit.
Ambient temperature = 35°C (95°F)
Maximum relative humidity = 60%
According to the diagram in Illustration 11, the dew point for the given values is 26°C (78.8°F). Always keep the temperature of the cooling liquid a minimum 2°C (3.6°F) above the dew point. Thus the primary circuit minimum temperature is set to 28°C (82.4°F).
The secondary circuit maximum temperature must always be 5°C (9°F) lower than the primary circuit temperature. Thus, in this ex­ample, the secondary circuit temperature must be below 23°C (73.4°F) during operation.
Notice, that these conditions are valid for the starting of the drive. After the start, the temperature inside the cabinet starts to in­crease and the humidity decreases.

5.4.4.2 Cooling System Overview
The cooling system has a bypass valve in the primary line and valves at each power module inlet. They make it possible to open and clean the cooling system. Open the bypass valve and close the valves to the AC drive when cleaning the system. While commission­ing the system, close the bypass valve and open the valves to the AC drive.
The cooling system has temperature, pressure, and leak supervision. They can be connected to the External fault digital input func­tion. If the cooling liquid flow or pressure is too low, the temperature too high or of there is a leak, the supervision stops the drive.

5.5 Cooling and Free Space Around the Enclosed Drive

The VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive is a liquid-cooled AC drive, but in a liquid-cooled drive system, there are always some heat losses to the air. The heat losses come from
busbars,
filters,
inductors,
other auxiliary components.
The AC drive uses liquid-to-air heat exchangers to cool the hot air from the inductors and other components. Fans in the cabinet walls move the air between the cabinet sections. The structure of the cabinet is such, that the air can move freely through the cabi­net.
There must be a minimum of 20 cm (7.87 in) of space above the cabinet without structures that can stop the airflow. Make sure that the hot air goes out of the cabinet and does not come back into the cabinet. Some free space in front of the drive is also necessary for maintenance.
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.

6.1 Galvanic Isolation Between the MV and LV Sections

There is galvanic isolation between the low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) sections of the cabinet. The insulation between the sections gives the devices in the LV section protection from the MV section voltages. Illustration 15 shows which components are installed in the MV and LV sections.
All connections between the LV and MV sections are done with optical fiber cables. The only LV connections between the MV and LV sections are:
The LV supply for the pre-charge unit (PRC)
The LV supply for the isolation transformer (AIT)
The supply voltage feedback from the potential transformer (PTR) to the AFE control unit

6.2 Mains and Motor Cable Selection

C A U T I O N
UNEQUAL LOAD
If the cable installation is not symmetrical, unequal load can occur in AC drives with parallel inputs or outputs. The unequal load
can decrease loadability or damage the drive.
In drives with parallel inputs or outputs, make sure that the cable size, cable length, cable type, and routing is the same for all
-
parallel cables.
Use cables with a nominal voltage U0/U of 3.6/6 kV and maximum voltage 7.2 kV. The size and type of the cable depends on the application of the drive. The cable size is also affected by:
The current at continuous load,
the permitted short-circuit current,
the installation conditions.
To decrease EMI, use shielded 3-phase cables for the motor connection. If single-core cables are used in the input or output, they must be shielded.
When selecting the cable, refer to the input voltage and the load current of the drive. Obey all applicable standards and local safety regulations.
Example Mains Cables for the VACON® 3000 4160 V 510 A AFE Drive
The recommendation for the VACON® 3000 4160 V 510 A AFE drive, is to use two 240 mm2 (500 kcmil) M2N type cables (available from Liban Cables/Nexans) for each phase. The cables are 3.6/6 kV copper cables with one core, XLPE insulation, a PVC cover, shiel­ded, and unarmored.

6.3 Mains and Motor Cable Inlet and Termination

There are cable entries at the top and bottom of the cabinet sections for the mains and motor cables. If an output filter option is installed, cabling from the bottom is not possible.

Operating Guide
Illustration 17: The Mains and Motor Terminal Locations
Electrical Installation
Connect the mains cables to terminals L1, L2, and L3 in the mains input section. Connect the motor cables to the inverter section terminals U, V, and W. Make openings for the cables in the grommets on the bottom or top of the cabinet and push through the cables. Use cable clamps to attach the cables. Always connect the PE conductors of the mains and motor cables to the PE busbar.
In units with parallel motor outputs, do not connect the motor cables together in the AC drive end. Always connect the parallel motor cables together in the motor end only. The minimum motor cable length is 5 m (16.4 ft).
Use medium-voltage cable lugs to connect the cables to the busbar terminals. Use heat shrink or cold shrink cable termination kits on the cables, for example, the kits HIT1.1204L or CIT1.1204L available from Ensto.
The output cables to the motor must be 360° EMC grounded, for example, by installing EMC grounding clamps at the cable inlet. To make a 360° connection with the grounding clamps and the cable shield, strip the cables. The EMC grounding clamps must be the correct size to give a 360° contact with the cable shield.

6.4 Grounding

Ground the AC drive in accordance with applicable standards and directives. In the specified ground fault conditions, the current density in the grounding conductor, if of copper, must not be more than:
200 A/mm2 for a short circuit of 1 s, and
125 A/mm2 for a short circuit of 3 s.
But, the cross-sectional area of the grounding conductor must not be less than 30 mm2 (AWG2). Refer to IEC62271-200.
There is a protective earthing (PE) busbar at the bottom front of the cabinets. Connect the PE rail to an external ground at the instal­lation location as is approved in the applicable regulations. Obey the local regulations on the minimum size of the protective earth­ing conductor.
Illustration 20: The Grounding Busbar
The power module grounding terminals, the DC link neutral point, the grounding switch, and the transient voltage suppressors are connected to the PE rail. Also the frames of the inductors and capacitors are grounded.
Always connect the PE conductors of the mains and motor cables to the PE busbar. The output cables to the motor must be 360° EMC grounded. To make a 360° connection with the grounding clamps and the cable shield, strip the cables. Ground the motor cable shield at the drive and motor ends of the cable.

6.5 Additional Instructions for Cable Installation

Before starting the installation, make sure that none of the components of the AC drive is live. Read carefully the warnings in the Safety section.
Make sure that the motor cables are sufficiently far from other cables.
The motor cables must go across other cables at an angle of 90°.
If it is possible, do not put the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.
Only use symmetrically EMC shielded motor cables.
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance (approximately 25 mm/1 in) between the cables in the cabinet and between the cables and conductor materials.
If cable insulation checks are necessary, see 8.5.2 Measuring the Cable and Motor Insulation.

6.6 Main Circuit Breaker Installation

Install a main circuit breaker for the short-circuit protection of the AC drive. Use, for example, a fast vacuum circuit breaker. When selecting the size of the mains circuit breaker, refer to the available short circuit power, continuous current, and supply voltage.
The VACON® 3000 AFE drive has a maximum short-circuit current of 31.5 kA. The operation time of the circuit breaker must not be longer than 4 cycles (50 Hz: 80 ms, 60 Hz: 67 ms).
The function of the circuit breaker is to give short-circuit protection. For ground fault protection, install a protection relay and resis­tors.
See also 2.5 Main Circuit Breaker.
N O T I C E
CONNECTION TO ARC FLASH PROTECTION
Connect the circuit breaker to the arc flash detection system in the AC drive cabinet.

6.7 Cabling of the Power Modules

6.7.1 Phase Module L20/L30 Terminals
To make access and installation easy, all terminals are located in the front of the phase modules. Phase, DC, neutral, and ground terminals have sufficient space between them and creepage walls on each side. To make the terminals compatible with different cable lugs, the terminals can be changed by removing screws from the front.
See the functions of the AFE/INU phase module terminals in Illustration 23. If the phase module operates as an AFE or INU, some of the terminals have different functions.

6.7.7 LED Display on the Phase Module
VOLTAGE INDICATION
The voltage indicators on the phase module are not safety approved. Even if the voltage indicators are off, there can be a danger-
ous voltage in the module. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
-
In the front of the phase module, there is a four letter LED display and four LED indicators: BBP, BBN, LED1 and LED2. BBP and BBN show if there is voltage in the DC link plus and minus busbars. The functions of LED1 and LED2 are not set.
The LED indicators BBP and BBN use the power from the DC link to operate. That is, if the 24 V supply to the phase modules stops, the LEDs show if the DC link is charged. The LEDs are on when the capacitor DC-link half voltages are >500 V. They start to blink as the voltage drops to <500 V. If the voltages drop to <25 V, the LEDs turn off.
D A N G E R
Even if the voltage indicators are off, before touching the module: Short circuit the DC-link terminals and connect them to ground. Do measurements and make sure that there is no voltage.

LED Display Operation
The phase module start up sequence starts when the connection between the phase module and control unit is disconnected. Usu­ally the start up occurs when 24 V DC is supplied to the module. Also, the start up sequence occurs during a software update.
LED display modes during phase module start up:
1. Reset mode: The display is empty.
2. Phase module software setup: The phase module sets up local software.
3. Phase module communication setup: After the software setup, the phase module enables communication to the control unit. When the phase module receives the first message from the control unit, the PCU moves to the next mode.
4. Control unit setup: Set up between the control unit and the phase module. If the setup is a success, the phase module moves to the next mode.
5. Network setup: The last step in the setup. When the phase module receives approval from the control unit, the phase module moves to the operation mode.
6. Operation: In the operation mode, the LED display view changes at an interval of 3 s. The display changes between the belt information indicator (6A) and the module information indicator (6B).
Illustration 33: LED Display Modes During Start Up
Belt information: The belt information indicator tells the number of the AFE or INU unit (or belt of three modules) in which the PCU
is installed (see
7.8 Optical Fiber Connections).
The belt information indicator is of type: [ ] [ ] [B] [belt number 1–4].
The first two digits are empty.
The last two digits show the belt number (B1–B4).

6.8 Low-Voltage Power Supplies

6.8.1 Low-Voltage Power Supply Connections
Low-voltage power supplies are necessary for the auxiliary components of the VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive.
3-phase 400/480 V, 50/60 Hz supply for the pre-charge unit and the heat exchanger unit. In drives with parallel power circuits, a separate pre-charge unit is necessary for each parallel circuit. The low-voltage supply to the pre-charge units must be able to supply a power of 10 kVA for each pre-charge unit.
1-phase 120 V, 50/60 Hz supply for the control units and auxiliary components in the LV section of the cabinet.
1-phase 120 V, 50/60 Hz supply for the auxiliary components in the MV section of the cabinet.
Make sure that the input AC voltage level selection for the pre-charge unit is correct. Ground the cable shields of the LV supply cables.

6.8.2 Safety Notes for the Precharge Unit
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM THE PRECHARGE UNIT
The precharge unit can supply dangerous high voltages from its low-voltage source (215 V to 480 V AC). A contact with this volt-
age can lead to death or serious injury.
Do not try to energize the precharge unit before the system installation is completed!
-
Do not bypass the control unit and energize the precharge unit! Make sure that correct lock out and tag out procedures are applied to the low-voltage input of the precharge unit.
C A U T I O N
RISK OF OVERHEATING
Successive precharge operations can overheat the transformer of the precharge unit.
To allow the transformer enough time to cool down, ensure a minimum of 30 minutes between successive precharge opera-
-
tions.
The correct selection of the voltage selection board prevents the application of incorrect voltage to the transformer input. If there is a fault condition, the 2-pole circuit breaker on top of the precharge unit opens. The breaker opens only in fault conditions
in which inspection or maintenance is necessary. The control unit monitors the DC-link voltage during the precharge sequence and if it senses an unusual condition, stops the se-
quence. Because of the monitoring, do not bypass these protection steps during the commissioning or troubleshooting of the drive. Precharge timeout:
The control unit automatically limits the frequency of start ups to a safe value.
6.8.3 Location of the Precharge Unit
The precharge unit or units are typically installed at the top of the output section of the enclosed drive. The location can differ depending on the drive type and configuration.
Illustration 36: The Location of the Precharge Unit

6.9 Safety Functions

The information in this section is valid only if the drive is equipped with the STO option (+QSTO).
AQ286660579921en-000101 / DPD02033 | 49Danfoss A/S © 2021.09
VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive
Operating Guide
Electrical Installation
6.9.1 Safe Torque Off (STO)
Safe Torque Off (STO) is a hardware-based safety function to prevent the drive from generating torque on the motor shaft. The STO safety function has been designed for use in accordance with the following standards:
EN 61800-5-2 STO SIL3
ENISO 13849-1 PL “e” Category 4
EN 62061 SILCL3
IEC 61508 SIL3
The function also corresponds to an uncontrolled stop in accordance with stop category 0, EN 60204-1.
The STO function is not the same as the prevention of unexpected start-up function. For fulfilling those requirements, more external components are required according to appropriate standards and application requirements. Required external components can be for example:
Appropriate lockable switch
A safety relay providing a reset function
6.9.2 Safe Stop 1 (SS1)
The SS1 safety function is realized in compliance with type C of the drives safety standard EN 61800-5-2 (Type C: "The PDS(SR) ini­tiates the motor deceleration and initiates the STO function after an application specific time delay").
The SS1 safety function has been designed for use in accordance with the following standards:
EN 61800-5-2 Safe Stop 1 (SS1) SIL3
EN ISO 13849-1 PL"e" Category 4
EN 62061: SILCL3
IEC 61508 SIL3
The function also corresponds to a controlled stop in accordance with the stop category 1, EN 60204-1.
6.9.3 Safety Considerations
Designing of safety-related systems requires special knowledge and skills. Only qualified personnel are permitted to install and set up the STO functionality.
The use of STO or other safety functions does not in itself ensure safety. An overall risk evaluation is required to make sure that the commissioned system is safe. The safety devices must be correctly incorporated into the entire system. The entire system must be designed in compliance with all relevant standards within the field of industry.
Standards such as EN 12100 (Part 1/Part 2) and ISO 14121-1 provide methods for designing safe machinery and for carrying out a risk assessment.
The information in this manual provides guidance on the use of the STO safety function together with the VACON® 3000 Enclosed Drive. This information is in compliance with accepted practice and regulations at the time of writing. However, the end product/ system designer is responsible for ensuring that the system is safe and in compliance with relevant regulations.
The STO function does not electrically isolate the drive output from the mains supply. If electrical work is to be carried out on the drive, the motor or the motor cabling, the drive has to be isolated from the mains supply. Use, for example, an external medium­voltage disconnecting switch (optionally as part of the main circuit breaker, see 6.6 Main Circuit Breaker Installation). In addition, the grounding switch must be closed or an alternative grounding according to applicable standards must be provided (see 8.2 Operat-
ing the Grounding Switch).
6.9.3.1 Diagnostic Test
Performing a diagnostic test is mandatory. The achievable SIL performance level/category for STO/SS1 depends on the testing inter­val.

Note: A diagnostic test is also automatically executed as part of any regular STO/SS1 cycle.
Electrical Installation
6.9.4 STO Operating Principle
The STO safety function allows the drive output to be disabled so that the drive cannot generate torque in the motor shaft. The STO safety function is achieved by stopping the drive operation. The drive operation is stopped by removing the 24 V supply to
the inverter units. When the 24 V supply is removed, the drive stops operation and does not generate torque in the motor shaft.
6.9.5 SS1 Operating Principle
After receiving a safe stop command, the motor starts decelerating and the SS1 safety function initiates the STO function after a user-set time delay.
Illustration 37: The Principle of Safe Stop 1 (EN 61800-5-2, SS1 Type C)
The system designer/user is responsible for understanding and setting the time delay of the safety relay, as it is process/machine dependent.
The time delay of the relay must be set to a greater value than the deceleration time of the drive. If there is a single failure or malfunctioning of the drive system, the drive may not ramp down as requested, but is always put to a safe STO state after the configured time delay of the relay. The motor deceleration time is process/machine dependent.
The stop function of the drive must be correctly set for the process/machine. Activating the SS1 safety function must execute the configured stop in the drive, using the undelayed relay output signal "SS1 NOT ACTIVATED". In the application software, it is recommended to use the "Quick Stop" functionality for this purpose.

Operating Guide
On delivery of the AC drive, the control unit contains the default control interface (control panel with graphical display). If special options were selected in the order, the option boards are included loose in the delivery. On the next pages, there is information on the terminals and general wiring examples.
The control unit can be started with a 24 V DC ±5%, 3 A power source with external overload protection. This voltage is sufficient to keep the control unit on and for setting the parameters. The measurements of the main circuit (for example, the DC-link voltage, and the unit temperature) are not available when the drive is not connected to the mains.
The status indicator on the control unit shows the status of the drive. The status indicator is on the control panel, below the keypad, and it can show five different statuses.
Control Connections
Table 9: Control Unit LED Status Definitions

7.4 Control Unit Cabling

Install the control cables in the low-voltage section of the cabinet. Keep the cables away from high voltages and possible electrical arcs. Make the control connections between the control units and power units with optical fiber cables.
There are cable entries at the top and bottom of the cabinet. A VACON® 3000 12-pulse drive has one control unit, the INU control unit. Install all the I/O and relay cables to the INU control unit.
A VACON® 3000 AFE drive has two control units, the AFE control unit and the INU control unit. The I/O and relay cable installation is application-specific and both the AFE and INU control units can be used.

7.8.2 Making Optical Fiber Cables
The fiber optic cables most likely to need replacement are the ones connected to the phase modules. During the installation or replacement of modules, it is possible to damage the fiber optic cables accidentally. This procedure describes how to make new cables.
These tools and equipment are required:
Specialized tool kit for fiber optics
-
Wire stripper
-
Wire cutter
-
Crimper tool
Fiber optic wire
Connectors
For details, see 7.8.1 Selection of Optical Fiber Cables.
Procedure
1.
Cut the required length of fiber optic wire. Use a wire cutter to make sure that the cuts are clean.
2.
Use the stripper tool to strip the wires approximately 25 mm (1 in) at both ends.
Illustration 53: Stripping and Splitting the Cable
3.
Split the wires apart 30–40 mm (1.25–1.5 in) from both ends.
See Illustration 53.
4.
Place a connector into the crimper tool.

connector approximately 1.6 mm (0.63 in).
Illustration 54: Installing the Connectors on the Cable
6.
When the wires and connector are fully in position, firmly close the crimper grip.
7.
Install the connector on the other end of the cable. Notice the labels A and B on the connectors. When making the connec­tion for the other end of the wire, B goes to the A slot and A to B.
See Illustration 54.
8.
Check the cable by shining an LED on one end of the cable and verifying that the other end is lit. For example, shine on wire A on one end, and verify that B is lit on the other end.

7.9 Encoder Interface

The VACON® 3000 control unit includes a 2-encoder interface. The encoder interface is only used in the INU control unit, not in AFE or BCU control units.
The encoder interface is designed for HTL (High-voltage Transistor Logic) type encoders (voltage output type Push-pull HTL, open collector output type HTL) which provide input signal levels dependent on the supply voltage of the encoder.
The encoder properties include:
Cross-connected optically isolated feedback for good noise limits
150 kHz maximum frequency
Different encoder line driver voltage levels (24 V, 15 V, 5 V)
Different encoder supply voltage levels (+24 V, +15 V) with current limits
Differential encoder duplicator option from one of the encoder interfaces
Master/follower selection
Two qualifier inputs (1Q, 2Q) for position detection or pulse tachometer applications
If absolute encoder functionality is required, contact Danfoss.

7.9.3 Encoder Connection
Ground the encoder cable shields only at the AC drive end to avoid circulating current in the shield. Isolate the shield at the encoder end.
If possible, use double shielded cable for encoder connection. A high pulse frequency combined with a high cable capacitance places a considerable load on the encoder. Therefore, apply as low
a voltage as possible for the encoder supply. Use +15 V encoder voltage input, if allowed in the voltage range specification of the encoder.
If external voltage supply is used, connect the ground of the external supply to terminal 9 in channel A of the encoder interface and to the encoder ground.

7.10 Battery for the Real-Time Clock (RTC)

To use the real-time clock (RTC), a battery must be installed in the left side of the control unit. See 7.2 The Control Compartment of
the Enclosed Drive. Use a ½ AA battery with 3.6 V and a capacity of 1000–1200 mAh. Use, for example, a Vitzrocell SB-AA02 battery.
The battery lasts approximately 10 years. See more about the functions of the RTC in the application guides.

7.11 Galvanic Isolation Barriers

The control connections are isolated from the mains. The ground terminals are permanently connected to the I/O ground. The digital inputs on the standard I/O board can be galvanically isolated from the I/O ground. To isolate the digital inputs, use the
DIP switch that has the positions FLOAT and GND. See 7.5.2 Isolation of the Digital Inputs from Ground.

7.12 System and Application Software

The VACON® 3000 control unit comes with AFE or INU system and application software. There is also separate application software for the brake chopper control unit.
The application software is specific to the VACON® 3000 and comes installed on the drive. For more information, see the VACON® 3000 Application guides.

If 230 V AC is used as control voltage from the output relays, the control circuitry must be powered with a separate isolation transformer to limit
the short-circuit current and the overvoltage spikes. This is to prevent welding on the relay switches. Refer to standard EN 60204-1, section 7.2.9.

8.1 Safety Checks before Starting the Commissioning

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, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals 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, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals 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. The discharge time is <7 minutes for AFE drives and <21 minutes for 12-pulse drives. Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.

8.2 Operating the Grounding Switch

D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM THE DC LINK
A contact with the DC-link voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
After the AC drive is disconnected from the mains, wait for the DC link to discharge.
-
Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.
1.
Turn off the AFE and INU and disconnect the AC drive from the mains (DC link begins to discharge).
2.
Lock out/tag out the MV power source.
3.
Wait for the DC link to discharge below 50 V DC.
The discharge time is:
<7 minutes for AFE drives.
<21 minutes for 12-pulse drives.
If more DC capacitance than normal is installed, the discharge time can be longer.

1.
To access the inlet and outlet cooling manifolds, locate the cabinet in which the cooling system is installed.
The location of the manifolds varies depending on the internal layout of the cabinet. Sometimes there might not be ac­cess to install quick disconnects to the manifolds. In these cases, it is necessary to connect straight to one of the hoses on the power module instead of the manifold.
In the example illustration, the inlet and outlet manifolds are easily accessible. The inlet hoses on the manifold are marked with blue tape and the outlet hoses with red tape.
Illustration 64: Cooling Liquid Inlet and Outlet Manifolds
2.
Connect the cooling fluid pump assembly to the inlet and outlet manifolds with quick connects (if available). Open the valves.
3.
Before filling the system with glycol, verify that all cooling hoses throughout the system are firmly connected and/or tor­qued. Make certain that any hoses with valves connected to a module have their valves in the open position.
4.
Make sure that the automatic air purger on the main heat exchanger is uncapped and its valve is open.
The air purger is on the main heat exchanger, behind the HX control cabinet. Its location varies depending on the cabinet and heat exchanger design.

5.
Begin running the standalone pump and fill the system. Water should be flowing into the inlet while a combination of wa­ter and air pockets/bubbles are flowing out from the outlet. If any leak is detected, immediately shut off the pump.
The power of the pump and size of the cooling system dictates the flow rate and how quickly the air can be purged from the system. Use an appropriately sized pump. A pump of at least 0.5 hp or greater is ideal.
Commissioning
6.
When air bubbles/pockets flowing out of the outlet hose are no longer visible, stop the pump.
7.
Close the inlet and outlet valves.
8.
Slowly open the air bleeders on the pumps. Air bubbles out. When the bubbling starts becoming only fluid seeping out, close off the bolts to seal the pumps.
The air bleeders are in the front of the pump, just below the motor. There is one on each of the motor pumps.

Check the fluid level gauge.
There is a tank labeled “Air Filling” to the rear of the cooling system cabinet. The fluid level gauge is connected to this tank. On this gauge, is a marker labeled “nominal level”.
Commissioning
Repeat steps 10–12. After the 2nd cycle, the number of air pockets that are purged should be reduced. Repeat the cycle until there are only few small air bubbles remaining. It is not possible to eliminate all the air bub-
bles.
Illustration 69: Location of the Fluid Level Gauge
-
If the fluid level is above the nominal line: To release excess fluid back into the glycol tank, open the outlet valve. The pressure drops from the 1.2 bar. If the fluid level is still above the “nominal” line after the pressure drops to 0, add air to the “air filling” tank until the fluid level drops to the “nominal” marker.
-
If the fluid level is below the nominal line: Bleed air out of the tank by pressing the pin on the nozzle. The fluid level on the gauge climbs while the pressure decreases from 1.2 bar. Operate the standalone pump and repressurize. The goal is to be at or slightly above the nominal marker while having 1.2 bar of pressure.
8.4.2 Grid Voltage Feedback Configuration
Grid voltage feedback is a critical component of AFE drives. It must be correctly connected and configured for an AFE drive to be able to properly synchronize with the MV input supply voltage of the drive.
Grid voltage feedback is also necessary to perform the commissioning test. For the commissioning test to be done safely, it must be able to detect whether there is mains power applied to the drive (that it is not powered).

8.4.4 Verifying the Phase Module Connections
Before running the drive for the first time, verify the phasing of the INU and/or AFE modules. The verification is done both physically (cabling, busbars) and electrically (identified with 24 V DC control power and fiber optic communication cables).
Obtain a copy of the mechanical drawings of the drive and identify the locations of the phase modules.
1.
Perform a continuity check of the phase module terminal connections.
2.
For INU modules, check the continuity of the connections from the output on the phase module to its correspond-
a.
ing output busbar terminal. For AFE modules, check the continuity of the connections from the output to the L1, L2, L3 busbars where the
b.
main input supply voltage cables are mounted. For dual-belt drives, do the same for the other belt.
c.
Verify, that the fiber optic cables are connected properly between the control units and phase modules.
3.
The fiber from the FO1 slot on the control unit connects to the fiber connector A on either the INU U-phase module or the AFE L1-phase module. The control unit automatically designates the phase module connected to FO1 as a U-phase mod­ule (if INU control unit) or L1-phase module (if AFE control unit).
See
7.8 Optical Fiber Connections.
4.
For the remaining module-to-module connections, connect the optical fiber from connector B of the U-phase module to connector A of the next module (which is then designated as V-phase). Then connect the optical fiber from connector B of the V-phase module to connector A of the next module (W-phase). Leave connector B of the last module (W-phase) empty.
The AFE connections are the same, except the designations for the modules are L1, L2, and L3.
5.
If the connections are correct and control power is applied, then the phase modules show the correct belt and phase infor­mation on the 4-character LED displays.
In the operation mode, the LED display view changes at an interval of 3 s. The display changes between the belt informa­tion indicator and the module information indicator. See 6.7.7 LED Display on the Phase Module.

8.4.5 Commissioning Test
The commissioning test verifies that the drive can be successfully operated without applying medium voltage to the main power terminals (L1, L2, L3). The purpose of the test is to verify operation of the system interlocks and that the pre-charge circuit can close the contactor that supplies medium voltage to the drive.
This test does not power up the drive.
This test does not run if:
-
Medium voltage is detected on the input to the mains contactor.
-
The pre-charge unit has 480 V AC supply power and is connected to the circuit.
If either of these two conditions is present, the control unit generates a fault.
The following procedures must be completed before performing the commissioning test:
INU/AFE module installation.
INU/AFE phasing (see 8.4.4 Verifying the Phase Module Connections).
Software download (see 8.4.3 Installing Software on the Control Unit).
Cooling fluid addition (see 8.4.1 Filling the Liquid Cooling System).
Insulation test of the MV input and output cables.
Grid voltage feedback configuration (see 8.4.2 Grid Voltage Feedback Configuration).
Remove power from the input to the main supply power contactor or main circuit breaker (MCB). The drive controls switchgear external to the drive to supply utility voltage to the drive. There is no main circuit breaker internal to
the drive that opens/closes the voltage on the supply terminals (L1, L2, L3). The lockout/tagout procedure must be properly per­formed.
1.
To prevent accidental charging of the DC link, open the circuit breaker that supplies 480 V AC to the pre-charge unit.
The circuit breaker is in the control compartment. See the wiring diagrams delivered with the drive.
2.
Verify that there was no mistake in the control power wiring and that there is no shock hazard.
a.
On the INU phase modules, disconnect the 24 V DC connector.
See 6.7.1 Phase Module L20/L30 Terminals.
b.
Use a DMM in V AC mode and measure from the +24 V and 0 V terminals to GND.
