2. EU DIRECTIVE

2.1 CE marking

The CE marking on the product guarantees the free movement of the product within the EEA (Euro­pean Economic Area). It also guarantees that the product complies with applicable directives (for example, the EMC directive and other possible so-called new method directives). VACON® NX Non­Regenerative Front End carries the CE label as a proof of compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive. SGS FIMKO has acted as the Notified Body.

2.2 EMC directive

2.2.1

Introduction

The EMC Directive provides that the electrical apparatus must not excessively disturb the environ­ment it is used in, and, on the other hand, it must have an adequate level of immunity toward other disturbances from the same environment.
The compliance of VACON® NX Non-Regenerative Front End with the EMC directive is verified with Technical Construction Files (TCF) and checked and approved by SGS FIMKO, which is a Notified
Body. The Technical Construction Files are used to authenticate the conformity of VACON® NX Non-
Regenerative Front End with the Directive because it is impossible to test such a large product fami­ly in a laboratory environment and because the combinations of installation vary greatly.

4. NON-REGENERATIVE FRONT END (NFE)

4.1 Introduction

The VACON® NX Non-Regenerative Front End is used to transfer power between the AC input and intermediate DC circuit. The VACON® NX Non-Regenerative Front End has only a one-way function. This means that power can only be transferred from the AC input to the intermediate DC circuit. If braking is needed, brake chopper has to be connected to the intermediate DC circuit.
In a typical VACON® NX Non-Regenerative Front End configuration, the desired number of Inverters, Figure 4-1, are connected to the intermediate DC circuit.
The Non-Regenerative Front End configuration consists of the unit itself, AC choke, AC fuses, main contactor and DC fuses, Figure 4-2.

4.9 Non-Regenerative Front End Fuse selection
4.9.1

Introduction

AC fuses are used to protect the input network in case the Non-Regenerative Front End unit or the AC choke is faulty. DC fuses are used to protect the Non-Regenerative Front End unit and the AC choke in case there is a short circuit in the DC buses. If DC fuses are not used, short-circuit in the DC buses will cause a loading of the Non-Regenerative Front End unit. Vacon Ltd will not assume any responsibility for damages caused by insufficient protection.

4.10 Non-Regenerative Front End unit Circuit breaker selection
The Non-Regenerative Front End can also be protected by a circuit-breaker. The recommended type of circuit-breaker is shown in Table 4-10. If a circuit-breaker from another manufacturer is used, it must be equivalent to the circuit-breaker shown. Further information on the circuit-breaker shown is available from the manufacturer. Circuit-breaker does not provide the same level of protection as

fuses. A circuit-breaker can be used without a main contactor. The circuit-breakers shown are suit­able for equipment rated at 380 690 V.
Table 4-10. Circuit breaker for VACON® NXN
4.11 Non-Regenerative Front End unit Main contactor
If a main contactor is to be used, the type shown in Table 4-11 are recommended. If a contactor from another manufacturer is used, it must be equivalent to the types shown. Further information on the contactor shown is available from the manufacturer.
Table 4-11. Recommended main contactor type.

4.12 Pre-Charging and start up

External pre-charging circuit is not needed with the Non-Regenerative Front End. Pre-charging is done by controlling thyristors and the DC link voltage is charged smoothly. Pre-charging is current limit controlled. Due to this, the charging time varies depending on DC link capacitance. The Non­Regenerative Front End performs charging when the main contactor is closed and a start signal is applied to DIN1. The NFE goes into run mode after successful charging. If Non-regenerative Front Ends are connected in parallel, each module charges DC link voltage independently. Parallel con­nected modules can be connected to the supply simultaneously or one module at a time. See Appen­dix 7-2 for the circuit diagram of parallel connected NFE modules.
The Non-Regenerative Front End monitors the pre-charging process. If the time of charging is over the adjustable pre-charging monitoring time (default 10s) a fault is indicated. If the DC link capaci­tance is so high that the default value for charging monitoring is not enough, the value can be in­creased.

4.13 Paralleling

The power of the input group can be increased by connecting several Non-Regenerative Front End units in parallel. No communication between the units is required; they work independently.
Each Non-Regenerative Front End unit connected in parallel must have its own short-circuit protec­tion on AC and DC sides. The fuses are selected in accordance with Section 4.9. When paralleling, attention must be paid to the sufficient short-circuit capacity of the system.
The derating of Non-Regenerative Front End units connected in parallel is 5% of the DC power; this should be taken into account when selecting the input unit.
If a device is to be isolated from the AC and DC voltages, and other Non-Regenerative Front End units connected in parallel are also to be used, separate isolators are required in the AC input and DC output. The AC input can be isolated using a compact circuit-breaker, an ordinary circuit-breaker or a fuse switch. Contactors are not suitable for isolating the AC input because they cannot be locked in the safe position. The DC output can be isolated using a fuse switch. A load isolation switch or safety isolation switch can be used for this. The device can also be connected to mains even when the other devices connected in parallel are already connected and running. After this, the device can be connected to the intermediate circuit.

Note: Parallel connection means that the AC supply of more than one units connected together from DC link is
coupled with the same supply transformer.

4.14 12-pulse solution

In 12-pulse solution the supply transformer has two galvanically separated secondary circuits, see Appendix 7-3. The 12-pulse solution can reduce the effect of harmonic waves of the current in the supply network. In order to reduce the effect of harmonics, there must be a phase displacement of 30º between the secondary circuits of the transformer. The phase displacement is implemented by connecting one secondary circuit to triangle and the other to star. In 12-pulse solution there must be an equal number of non-regenerative units connected to the both secondary coils of the supply transformer.

4.15 Derating

The output power has to be derated if one of following cases:
Ambient temperature is more than 40ºC
Installation altitude is more than 1000 m

4.15.1 As the Ambient Temperature

The power rating of the Non-Regenerative Front End unit is valid for an ambient temperature of 40ºC. If the device is to be used in higher ambient temperatures, its power rating must be subjected to derating. The derating coefficient is 1.5%/1ºC, for ambient temperatures not exceeding 50ºC. The reduced power is calculated using the formula:

4.15.2 As the Installation altitude

The power rating of the Non-Regenerative Front End unit is valid for a maximum installation altitude of 1,000 m (380-690 V). If the device is to be used in higher installation altitudes, its power rating must be subjected to derating. The derating coefficient is 1.5%/100m. The power rating of the device can be reduced to a maximum installation altitude of 3,000 m (380V-500V) or of 2000 m (525V-690V). The reduced power is calculated using the formula:

AC choke

The AC choke can only be mounted in a vertical position on the floor of a cubicle. Enough space must be reserved around the AC choke to ensure sufficient cooling, see Figure 5-7. Follow the minimum dimensions for installation, see Table 5-3. Required cooling air capacity and minimum air holes on the switchgear, see Table 5-4. Also make sure that the floor is relatively even. AC choke must be at­tached properly so that it will not be able to move.
AC choke can be mounted so that the connectors face forward or so that they face to the side. Figure 5-2 presents a mounting where the connectors face forward. Figure 5-3 presents a mounting where the connectors face to the side. This mounting is recommended if the Non-Regenerative Front End units are parallel connected. In this case it must be assured that the connectors face to the same direction and that there is enough space between the connectors and the AC choke.

5.2.1

Non-Regenerative Front End unit

Enough free space must be left around the Non-Regenerative Front End unit to ensure sufficient air circulation and cooling. You will find the required dimensions for free space in the table below. You will find the required cooling air, minimum air holes and heat dissipation in the Table 5-2.
When planning the cooling for the space, take into consideration that the Non-Regenerative Front End unit heat loss is approx. 1% of the nominal capacity. Air flow, see Figure 5-6.

5.2.3

Arranging ventilation of the enclosure

The enclosure door must be provided with air gaps for air intake. To achieve sufficient cooling inside the cabinet, the dimensions for the total area of free openings for incoming air given in Table 5-2 and Table 5-4 must be followed. For instance, there could be two screened gaps as presented in Figure 5-8 ( s recommendation). This layout ensures a sufficient air flow to the module fans as well as cooling of the additional components.
Air outlet gaps must be situated on top of the cabinet. The minimum effective air outlet area per unit frame is given in Table 5-2 and Table 5-4. The cooling arrangements inside the cabinet must be such that they prevent hot output air from mixing with the incoming fresh air (see Chapter 5.2.4).
The ventilation gaps must fulfill the requirements set by the selected IP class. The examples in this manual apply to protection class IP21.
During operation, air is sucked in and circulated by a fan blower at the bottom of the power unit. If the power unit is placed in the upper part of the cabinet, the fan blower will be in the mid of the cabi­net, at the height of the upper ventilation grid. In case of the AC choke is installed below the Non­Regenerative Front End unit air inlet 1.1 in Figure 5-8 cannot be used.

5.2.4

Steering air flow

Cooling air must be taken in through the ventilation gaps on the door and blown out at the top of the enclosure. To steer the hot air from the power unit to the outlet at the top of the enclosure and pre­vent it from circulating back to the fan blower, use either of the following arrangements:
A. Install a closed air duct from the power unit to the outlet on top of the enclosure (A in figures below).
B. Install shields in the gaps between the power unit and the cabinet walls (B in figures below). Place the shields above the air outlet gaps at the sides of the module.
Figure 5-9. Cabinet cooling airflow guides.
The sheet metal airflow guides (deflectors) prevents air circulation between different sections of the equipment. The shield guides in prevent air circulation inside a section. The exhaust air holes must not be covered, nor must anything be placed above them to stop the free exit of warm air from inside the equipment. The cooling air intake holes must not be blocked in any way.
The materials used for preventing the circulation of air inside the equipment must be fire-restraining. The edges must be sealed to prevent the formation of gaps. When the deflectors are made according to the instructions, no separate cooling fan is required.
NOTE! The deflectors must be installed above the air intake holes on the top (in the front) of the unit. NOTE! If a flat roof is used, mount a V-shaped air guide on the underside of the roof to direct the air
flow horizontally. See Figure 5-10.

5.3 Power connection

5.3.1

AC connection

The 3-phase input is connected to the input terminals of the AC choke (L1, L2 and L3), see Figure 5-12. Used input terminal are selected by supply voltage. The output terminals of the AC choke (L1, L2 and L3) are connected to the input terminals of the NFE unit (L1, L2 and L3), see Figure 5-11. The AC input of the NFE input group must be protected against short circuit. The fuses suitable for pro­tection are shown in Section 4.9. A circuit breaker can also be used for protection, see Section 4.10. The best short-circuit protection is achieved by using fuses. The short-circuit protection must be on the input side when seen from the AC choke, Figure 4-2.
A cable or busbar designed for the purpose must be used to make the connection. The connection must be dimensioned according to the nominal current rating of the Non-Regenerative Front End. The necessary overloading allowance must also be used. The connection must also have the same short-circuit capacity as the whole system. The connecting cable or busbar may be of copper or al­uminium. When aluminium is used, steps must be taken to prevent corrosion. The dimensions of the terminals in the unit are indicated in Appendix 7-6.

DC connection

The DC connection of the Non-Regenerative Front End unit is connected to the terminals at the top, see Figure 5-13. The terminals are marked as B+ for connection to DC+ and B- for connection to DC­. The DC connection must be protected using DC fuses, see Section 4.9. The terminal dimensions are shown in Appendix 7-6.
Figure 5-13. FI9 unit DC connection.

5.4 Cable installation and the UL standards

To meet the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) regulations, a UL-approved copper cable with a mini­mum heat-resistance of +60/75C must be used.
Use Class 1 wire only.
The units are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 600 V maximum, or equivalent when protected by class J, T or Semiconductor fuses.

In Fault history menu you can browse through 9 latest faults (see Figure 6-4). If a fault is active, the relevant fault number (e.g. F2) alternates in the display with main menu. When you browse between the faults, the fault codes of active faults are blinking. The active faults can be reset by pressing the STOP button for 1 second. If the fault cannot be reset, the blinking continues. It is possible to navi­gate in the menu structure also when there are active faults present, but the display returns auto­matically to the fault menu if buttons or navigation wheel are not pressed or navigation is not rotat­ed. The operating hour, minute and second values at the fault instant are shown in the value menu (operating hours = displayed reading x 1000 h). Fault codes are listed in Table 6-2.
