Slip Compensation

The frequency converter compensates for the motor slip by giving the frequency a supplement that follows the measured motor load keeping the motor

speed almost constant..

Smart Logic Control (SLC)

The SLC is a sequence of user defined actions executed when the associated user defined events are evaluated as true by the SLC.

Thermistor:

A temperature-dependent resistor placed where the temperature is to be monitored (frequency converter or motor).

Trip

A state entered in fault situations, e.g. if the frequency converter is subject to an over-temperature or when the frequency converter is protecting the

motor, process or mechanism. Restart is prevented until the cause of the fault has disappeared and the trip state is cancelled by activating reset or, in

some cases, by being programmed to reset automatically. Trip may not be used for personal safety.

Trip Locked

A state entered in fault situations when the frequency converter is protecting itself and requiring physical intervention, e.g. if the frequency converter is

subject to a short circuit on the output. A locked trip can only be cancelled by cutting off mains, removing the cause of the fault, and reconnecting the

frequency converter. Restart is prevented until the trip state is cancelled by activating reset or, in some cases, by being programmed to reset automatically.

Trip locked may not be used for personal safety.

VT Characteristics

2 Introduction to VLT AQUA Drive

2.1 Safety

2.1.1 Safety note

The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous whenever connected to mains. Incorrect installation of the motor, frequency

converter or fieldbus may cause damage to the equipment, serious personal injury or death. Consequently, the instructions in this

manual, as well as national and local rules and safety regulations, must be complied with.

Safety Regulations

1. The frequency converter must be disconnected from mains if repair work is to be carried out. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and

that the necessary time has passed before removing motor and mains plugs.

2. The [STOP/RESET] key on the control panel of the frequency converter does not disconnect the equipment from mains and is thus not to be used as

a safety switch.

3. Correct protective earthing of the equipment must be established, the user must be protected against supply voltage, and the motor must be protected

against overload in accordance with applicable national and local regulations.

4. The earth leakage currents are higher than 3.5 mA.

5. Protection against motor overload is set by par. 1-90

Motor Thermal Protection

. If this function is desired, set par. 1-90 to data value [ETR trip] (default

value) or data value [ETR warning]. Note: The function is initialised at 1.16 x rated motor current and rated motor frequency. For the North American

market: The ETR functions provide class 20 motor overload protection in accordance with NEC.

6. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and mains supply while the frequency converter is connected to mains. Check that the mains supply has been

disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before removing motor and mains plugs.

7. Please note that the frequency converter has more voltage inputs than L1, L2 and L3, when load sharing (linking of DC intermediate circuit) and external

24 V DC have been installed. Check that all voltage inputs have been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before commencing repair

work.

Installation at High Altitudes

By altitudes above 2 km, please contact Danfoss regarding PELV.

Warning against Unintended Start

1. The motor can be brought to a stop by means of digital commands, bus commands, references or a local stop, while the frequency converter is

connected to mains. If personal safety considerations make it necessary to ensure that no unintended start occurs, these stop functions are not sufficient.

2. While parameters are being changed, the motor may start. Consequently, the stop key [STOP/RESET] must alwa ys be act ivated; following which data

can be modified. 3. A motor that has been stopped may start if faults occur in the electronics of the frequency converter, or if a temporary overload or

a fault in the supply mains or the motor connection ceases.

Warning:

Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains.

Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as external 24 V DC, load sharing (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as

the motor connection for kinetic back up.

Refer to

VLT® AQUA Drive Operating Instructions MG.20.MX.YY

for further safety guidelines.

2.3 CE labelling

2.3.1 CE Conformity and Labelling

What is CE Conformity and Labelling?

The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced the CE label as a simple way of showing

whether a product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the specifications or quality of the product. Frequency

converters are regulated by three EU directives:

The machinery directive (98/37/EEC)

All machines with critical moving parts are covered by the machinery directive of January 1, 1995. Since a frequency converter is largely electrical, it does

not fall under the machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is supplied for use in a machine, we provide information on safety aspects

relating to the frequency converter. We do this by means of a manufacturer's declaration.

The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)

Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The directive applies to all electrical equipment

and appliances used in the 50 - 1000 V AC and the 75 - 1500 V DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a

declaration of conformity upon request.

The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)

EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the mutual interference between different

components/appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.

The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity upon

request. To carry out EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in this Design Guide. In addition, we specify which standards our products comply

with. We offer the filters presented in the specifications and provide other types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.

The frequency converter is most often used by professionals of the trade as a complex component forming part of a larger appliance, system or installation.

It must be noted that the responsibility for the final EMC properties of the appliance, system or installation rests with the installer.

2.3.2 What Is Covered

The EU "

Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive 89/336/EEC

" outline three typical situations of using a frequency converter. See below for EMC

coverage and CE labelling.

1. The frequency converter is sold directly to the end-consumer. The frequency converter is for example sold to a DIY market. The end-consumer

is a layman. He installs the frequency converter himself for use with a hobby machine, a kitchen appliance, etc. For such applications, the

frequency converter must be CE labelled in accordance with the EMC directive.

2. The frequency converter is sold for installation in a plant. The plant is built up by professionals of the trade. It could be a production plant or a

heating/ventilation plant designed and installed by professionals of the trade. Neither the frequency converter nor the finished plant has to be

CE labelled under the EMC directive. However, the unit must comply with the basic EMC requirements of the directive. This is ensured by using

components, appliances, and systems that are CE labelled under the EMC directive.

3. The frequency converter is sold as part of a complete system. The system is being marketed as complete and could e.g. be an air-conditioning

system. The complete system must be CE labelled in accordance with the EMC directive. The manufacturer can ensure CE labelling under the

EMC directive either by using CE labelled components or by testing the EMC of the system. If he chooses to use only CE labelled components,

he does not have to test the entire system.

2.3.3 Danfoss Frequency Converter and CE Labelling

CE labelling is a positive feature when used for its original purpose, i.e. to facilitate trade within the EU and EFTA.

However, CE labelling may cover many different specifications. Thus, you have to check what a given CE label specifically covers.

The covered specifications can be very different and a CE label may therefore give the installer a false feeling of security when using a frequency converter

as a component in a system or an appliance.

VLT® AQUA Drive Design Guide 2 Introduction to VLT AQUA Drive

MG.20.N5.02 - VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark

Page 14

Danfoss CE labels the frequency converters in accordance with the low-voltage directive. This means that if the frequency converter is installed correctly,

we guarantee compliance with the low-voltage directive. Danfoss issues a declaration of conformity that confirms our CE labelling in accordance with the

low-voltage directive.

The CE label also applies to the EMC directive provided that the instructions for EMC-correct installation and filtering are followed. On this basis, a

declaration of conformity in accordance with the EMC directive is issued.

The Design Guide offers detailed instructions for installation to ensure EMC-correct installation. Furthermore, Danfoss specifies which our different prod-

ucts comply with.

Danfoss gladly provides other types of assistance that can help you obtain the best EMC result.

2.3.4 Compliance with EMC Directive 89/336/EEC

As mentioned, the frequency converter is mostly used by professionals of the trade as a complex component forming part of a larger appliance, system,

or installation. It must be noted that the responsibility for the final EMC properties of the appliance, system or installation rests with the installer. As an

aid to the installer, Danfoss has prepared EMC installation guidelines for the Power Drive system. The standards and test levels stated for Power Drive

systems are complied with, provided that the EMC-correct instructions for installation are followed, see the section

EMC Immunity

The frequency converter has been designed to meet the IEC/EN 60068-2-3 standard, EN 50178 pkt. 9.4.2.2 at 50°C.

A frequency converter contains a large number of mechanical and electronic components. All are to some extent vulnerable to environmental effects.

The frequency converter should not be installed in environments with airborne liquids, particles, or gases capable of affecting and

damaging the electronic components. Failure to take the necessary protective measures increases the risk of stoppages, thus reducing

the life of the frequency converter.

Liquids can be carried through the air and condense in the frequency converter and may cause corrosion of components and metal parts. Steam, oil, and

salt water may cause corrosion of components and metal parts. In such environments, use equipment with enclosure rating IP 54/55. As an extra

protection, coated printed circuit boards can be ordered as an option.

Airborne

Particles such as dust may cause mechanical, electrical, or thermal failure in the frequency converter. A typical indicator of excessive levels of

airborne particles is dust particles around the frequency converter fan. In very dusty environments, use equipment with enclosure rating IP 54/55 or a

cabinet for IP 00/IP 20/TYPE 1 equipment.

In environments with high temperatures and humidity,

corrosive gases such as sulphur, nitrogen, and chlorine compounds will cause chemical processes

on the frequency converter components.

Such chemical reactions will rapidly affect and damage the electronic components. In such environments, mount the equipment in a cabinet with fresh

air ventilation, keeping aggressive gases away from the frequency converter.

An extra protection in such areas is a coating of the printed circuit boards, which can be ordered as an option.

NB!

Mounting frequency converters in aggressive environments increases the risk of stoppages and considerably reduces the life of the

converter.

Before installing the frequency converter, check the ambient air for liquids, particles, and gases. This is done by observing existing installations in this

environment. Typical indicators of harmful airborne liquids are water or oil on metal parts, or corrosion of metal parts.

Excessive dust particle levels are often found on installation cabinets and existing electrical installations. One indicator of aggressive airborne gases is

blackening of copper rails and cable ends on existing installations.

Page 15

NB!

D and E enclosures have a stainless steel back-channel option to provide additional protection in aggressive environments. Proper ventilation is still

required for the internal components of the drive. Contact Danfoss for additional information.

2.6 Vibration and shock

The frequency converter has been tested according to the procedure based on the shown standards:

The frequency converter complies with requirements that exist for units mounted on the walls and floors of production premises, as well as in panels

bolted to walls or floors.

IEC/EN 60068-2-6: Vibration (sinusoidal) - 1970 IEC/EN 60068-2-64: Vibration, broad-band random

2.7 Advantages

2.7.1 Why use a Frequency Converter for Controlling Fans and Pumps?

A frequency converter takes advantage of the fact that centrifugal fans and pumps follow the laws of proportionality for such fans and pumps. For further

information see the text

The Laws of Proportionality

2.7.2 The Clear Advantage - Energy Savings

The very clear advantage of using a frequency converter for controlling the speed of fans or pumps lies in the electricity savings.

When comparing with alternative control systems and technologies, a frequency converter is the optimum energy control system for controlling fan and

pump systems.

Illustration 2.1: The graph is showing fan curves (A, B and

C) for reduced fan volumes.

Illustration 2.2: When using a frequency converter to reduce

fan capacity to 60% - more than 50% energy savings may

be obtained in typical applications.

Page 16

2.7.3 Example of Energy Savings

As can be seen from the figure (the laws of proportionality), the flow is controlled by changing the R PM. By reducing the speed only 20% from the rated

speed, the flow is also reduced by 20%. This is because the flow is d irectly proportional to the RPM. The consumption of ele ctricity, however, is reduced

by 50%.

If the system in question only needs to be able to supply a flow that corresponds to 100% a few days in a year, while the average is below 80% of the

rated flow for the remainder of the year, the amount of energy saved is even more than 50%.

The laws of proportionality

The figure below describes the dependence of flow, pressure and power consumption on RPM.

Q = Flow P = Power

Q1 = Rated flow P1 = Rated power

= Reduced flow P2 = Reduced power

H = Pressure n = Speed regulation

H1 = Rated pressure n1 = Rated speed

= Reduced pressure n2 = Reduced speed

2.7.4 Example with Varying Flow over 1 Year

The example below is calculated on the basis of pump characteristics ob-

tained from a pump datasheet.

The result obtained shows energy savings in excess of 50% at the given

flow distribution over a year. The pay back period depends on the price

per kwh and price of frequency converter. In this example it is less than

a year when compared with valves and constant speed.

2.7.5 Better Control

If a frequency converter is used for controlling the flow or pressure of a system, improved control is obtained.

A frequency converter can vary the speed of the fan or pump, thereby obtaining variable control of flow and pressure.

Furthermore, a frequency converter can quickly adapt the speed of the fan or pump to new flow or pressure conditions in the system.

Simple control of process (Flow, Level or Pressure) utilizing the built in PID control.

2.7.6 Cos φ Compensation

Generally speaking, a frequency converter with a cos φ of 1 provides power factor correction for the cos φ of the motor, which means that there is no

need to make allowance for the cos φ of the motor when sizing the power factor correction unit.

2.7.7 Star/delta Starter or Soft-starter not required

When larger motors are started, it is necessary in many countries to use equipment that limits the start-up current. In more traditional systems, a star/

delta starter or soft-starter is widely used. Such motor starters are not required if a frequency converter is used.

As illustrated in the figure below, a frequency converter does not consume more than rated current.

2.8 Control Structures

2.8.1 Control Principle

Illustration 2.3: Control structures.

The frequency converter is a high performance unit for demanding applications. It can handle various kinds of motor control principles such as U/f special

motor mode and VVC plus and can handle normal squirrel cage asynchronous motors.

Short circuit behavior on this FC depends on the 3 current transducers in the motor phases.

it can be selected if open or closed loop

is to be used

2.8.2 Control Structure Open Loop

Illustration 2.4: Open Loop structure.

In the configuration shown in the illustration above,

par. 1-00 Configuration Mode

is set to Open loop [0]. The resulting reference from the reference

handling system or the local reference is received and fed through the ramp limitation and speed limitation before being sent to the motor control.

The output from the motor control is then limited by the maximum frequency limit.

2.8.3 Local (Hand On) and Remote (Auto On) Control

The frequency converter can be operated manually via the local control panel (LCP) or remotely via analog/digital inputs or serial bus.

possible to control the frequency converter via the digital inputs and var-

ious serial interfaces (RS-485, USB, or an optional fieldbus). See more

2.8.4 Control Structure Closed Loop

The closed loop controller allows the drive to become an integral part of the controlled system. The drive receives a feedback signal from a sensor in the

system. It then compares this feedback to a set-point reference value and determines the error, if any, between these two signals. It then adjusts the

speed of the motor to correct this error.

For example, consider a pump application where the speed of a pump is to be controlled so that the static pressure in a pipe is constant. The desired

static pressure value is supplied to the drive as the set-point reference. A static pressure sensor measures the actual static pressure in the pipe and

supplies this to the drive as a feedback signal. If the feedback signal is greater than the set-point reference, the drive will slow down to reduce the

pressure. In a similar way, if the pipe pressure is lower than the set-point reference, the drive will automatically speed up to increase the pressure provided

by the pump.

NB!

While the default values for the drive’s Closed Loop controller will often provide satisfactory performance, the control of the system

can often be optimized by adjusting some of the Closed Loop controller’s parameters. It is also possible to autotune the PI constants.

The figure is a block diagram of the drive’s Closed Loop controller. The details of the Reference Handling block and Feedback Handling block are described

in their respective sections below.

2.8.5 Feedback Handling

A block diagram of how the drive processes the feedback signal is shown below.

Feedback handling can be configured to work with applications requiring advanced control, such as multiple setpoints and multiple feedbacks. Three

types of control are common.

Single Zone, Single Setpoint

Single Zone Single Setpoint is a basic configuration. Setpoint 1 is added to any other reference (if any, see Reference Handling) and the feedback signal

is selected using par. 20-20.

Multi Zone, Single Setpoint

Multi Zone Single Setpoint uses two or three feedback sensors but only one setpoint. The feedbacks can be added, subtracted (only feedback 1 and 2)

or averaged. In addition, the maximum or minimum value may be used. Setpoint 1 is used exclusively in this configuration.

Multi Setpoint Min

[13] is selected, the setpoint/feedback pair with the largest difference controls the speed of the drive.

Multi Setpoint Maximum

[14]

attempts to keep all zones at or below their respective setpoints, while

Multi Setpoint Min

[13] attempts to keep all zones at or above their respective

setpoints.

Example:

A two zone two setpoint application Zone 1 setpoint is 15 bar and the feedback is 5.5 bar. Zone 2 setpoint is 4.4 bar and the feedback is 4.6 bar. If

Multi

Setpoint Max

[14] is selected, Zone 1’s setpoint and feedback are sent to the PID controller, since this has the smaller difference (feedbac k is hi gh er than

setpoint, resulting in a negative difference). If

Multi Setpoint Min

[13] is selected, Zone 2’s setpoint and feedback is sent to the PID controller, since this

has the larger difference (feedback is lower than setpoint, resulting in a positive difference).

2.8.6 Feedback Conversion

In some applications it may be useful to convert the feedback signal. One example of this is using a pressure signal to provide flow feedback. Since the

square root of pressure is proportional to flow, the square root of the pressure signal yields a value proportional to the flow. This is shown below.

2.8.7 Reference Handling

Details for Open Loop and Closed Loop operation.

A block diagram of how the drive produces the Remote Reference is shown below:.

VLT® AQUA Drive Design Guide 2 Introduction to VLT AQUA Drive

MG.20.N5.02 - VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark

Page 24

The Remote Reference is comprised of:

• Preset references.

• External references (analog inputs, pulse frequency inputs, digital potentiometer inputs and serial communication bus references).

• The Preset relative reference.

• Feedback controlled setpoint.

Up to 8 preset references can be programmed in the drive. The active preset reference can be selected using digital inputs or the serial communications

bus. The reference can also be supplied externally, most commonly from an analog input. This external source is selected by one of the 3 Reference

Source parameters (par. 3-15

Reference 1 Source

, par. 3-16

Reference 2 Source

and par. 3-17

Reference 3 Source

). Digipot is a digital potentiometer.

This is also commonly called a Speed Up/Speed Down Control or a Floating Point Control. To set it up, one digital input is programmed to increase the

reference while another digital input is programmed to decrease the reference. A third digital input can be used to reset the Digipot reference. All reference

resources and the bus reference are added to produce the total External Reference. The External Reference, the Preset Reference or the sum of the two

can be selected to be the active reference. Finally, this reference can by be scaled using par. 3-14

Preset Relative Reference

The scaled reference is calculated as follows:

Reference

= X + X ×

(

100

)

Where X is the external reference, the preset reference or the sum of these and Y is par. 3-14

Preset Relative Reference

in [%].

NB!

If Y, par. 3-14

Preset Relative Reference

is set to 0%, the reference will not be affected by the scaling

2.8.8 Example of Closed Loop PID Control

The following is an example of a Closed Loop Control for a booster pump application:

In a water distribution system, the pressure is to be maintained at a constant value. The desired pressure (setpoint) is set between 0 and 10 Bar using

a 0-10 volt potentiometer or can be set by a parameter. The pressure sensor has a range of 0 to 10 Bar and uses a two-wire transmitter to provide a

4-20 mA signal. The output frequency range of the drive is 10 to 50 Hz.

2.8.10 Tuning the Drive Closed Loop Controller

Once the drive’s Closed Loop Controller has been set up, the performance of the controller should be tested. In many cases, its performance may be

acceptable using the default values of PID Proportional Gain (par. 20-93) and PID Integral Time (par. 20-94). However, in some cases it may be helpful

to optimize these parameter values to provide faster system response while still controlling speed overshoot.

2.8.11 Manual PID Adjustment

1. Start the motor

2. Set par. 20-93 (PID Proportional Gain) to 0.3 and increase it until the feedback signal begins to oscillate. If necessary, start and stop the drive

or make step changes in the set-point reference to attempt to cause oscillation. Next reduce the PID Proportional Gain until the feedback signal

stabilizes. Then reduce the proportional gain by 40-60%.

3. Set par. 20-94 (PID Integral Time) to 20 sec. and reduce it until the feedback signal begins to oscillate. If necessary, start and stop the drive

or make step changes in the set-point reference to attempt to cause oscillation. Next, increase the PID Integral Time until the feedback signal

stabilizes. Then increase of the Integral Time by 15-50%.

4. Par. 20-95 (PID Differential Time) should only be used for very fast-acting systems. The typical value is 25% of the PID Integral Time (par.

20-94). The differential function should only be used when the setting of the proportional gain and the integral time has been fully optimized.

Make sure that oscillations of the feedback signal are sufficiently dampened by the low-pass filter for the feedback signal (par 6 16, 6 26, 5 54

or 5 59, as required).

2.9 General aspects of EMC

2.9.1 General Aspects of EMC Emissions

Electrical interference is usually conducted at frequences in the range 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Airborne interference from the drive system in the range 30

MHz to 1 GHz is generated from the inverter, motor cable, and the motor.

As shown in the illustration below, capacitive currents in the motor cable coupled with a high dV/dt from the motor voltage generate leakage currents.

The use of a screened motor cable increases the leakage current (see illustration below) because screened cables have higher capacitance to earth than

unscreened cables. If the leakage current is not filtered, it will cause greater interference on the mains in the radio frequency range below approx. 5

MHz. Since the leakage current (I

) is carried back to the unit through the screen (I 3), there will in principle only be a small electro-magnetic field (I4)

from the screened motor cable according to the below figure.

The screen reduces the radiated interference but increases the low-frequency interference on the mains. The motor cable screen must be connected to

the frequency converter enclosure as well as on the motor enclosure. This is best done by using integrated screen clamps so as to avoid twisted screen

ends (pigtails). These increase the screen impedance at higher frequencies, which reduces the screen effect and increases the leakage current (I

If a screened cable is used for Fieldbus, relay, control cable, signal interface and brake, the screen must be mounted on the enclosure at both ends. In

some situations, however, it will be necessary to break the screen to avoid current loops.

Page 27

If the screen is to be placed on a mounting plate for the frequency converter, the mounting plate must be made of metal, because the screen currents

have to be conveyed back to the unit. Moreover, ensure good electrical contact from the mounting plate through the mounting screws to the frequency

converter chassis.

NB!

When unscreened cables are used, some emission requirements are not complied with, although the immunity requirements are ob-

served.

In order to reduce the interference level from the entire system (unit + installation), make motor and brake cables as short as possible. Avoid placing

cables with a sensitive signal level alongside motor and brake cables. Radio interference higher than 50 MHz (airborne) is especially generated by the

control electronics.

2.9.4 General Aspects of Harmonics Emission

A frequency converter takes up a non-sinusoidal current from mains,

which increases the input current I

RMS

. A non-sinusoidal current is trans-

formed by means of a Fourier analysis and split up into sine-wave

currents with different frequencies, i.e. different harmonic currents I

with 50 Hz as the basic frequency:

Harmonic currents I

Hz 50 Hz 250 Hz 350 Hz

The harmonics do not affect the power consumption directly but increase

the heat losses in the installation (transformer, cables). Consequently, in

plants with a high percentage of rectifier load, maintain harmonic cur-

rents at a low level to avoid overload of the transformer and high

temperature in the cables.

Page 30

NB!

Some of the harmonic currents might disturb communication equipment connected to the same transformer or cause resonance in

connection with power-factor correction batteries.

NB!

To ensure low harmonic currents, the frequency converter is equipped with intermediate circuit coils as standard. This normally reduces

the input current I

RMS

by 40%.

The voltage distortion on the mains supply voltage depends on the size of the harmonic currents multiplied by the mains impedance for the frequency

in question. The total voltage distortion THD is calculated on the basis of the individual voltage harmonics using this formula:

2.10 Immunity Requirements

The immunity requirements for frequency converters depend on the environment where they are installed. The requirements for the industrial environment

are higher than the requirements for the home and office environment. All Danfoss frequency converters comply with the requirements for the industrial

environment and consequently comply also with the lower requirements for home and office environment with a large safety margin.

In order to document immunity against electrical interference from electrical phenomena, the following immunity tests have been made on a system

consisting of a frequency converter (with options if relevant), a screened control cable and a control box with potentiometer, motor cable and motor.

The tests were performed in accordance with the following basic standards:

• EN 61000-4-2 (IEC 61000-4-2): Electrostatic discharges (ESD): Simulation of electrostatic discharges from human beings.

• EN 61000-4-3 (IEC 61000-4-3): Incoming electromagnetic field radiation, amplitude modulated simulation of the effects of radar and radio

communication equipment as well as mobile communications equipment.

• EN 61000-4-4 (IEC 61000-4-4): Burst transients: Simulation of interference brought about by switching a contactor, relay or similar devices.

• EN 61000-4-5 (IEC 61000-4-5): Surge transients: Simulation of transients brought about e.g. by lightning that strikes near installations.

2.11 Galvanic isolation (PELV)

2.11.1 PELV - Protective Extra Low Voltage

PELV offers protection by way of extra low voltage. Protection against electric shock is ensured when the electrical supply is of the PELV type and the

installation is made as described in local/national regulations on PELV supplies.

All control terminals and relay terminals 01-03/04-06 comply with PELV (Protective Extra Low Voltage) (Does not apply to grounded Delta leg above 400

V).

Galvanic (ensured) isolation is obtained by fulfilling requirements for higher isolation and by providing the relevant creapage/clearance distances. These

requirements are described in the EN 61800-5-1 standard.

The components that make up the electrical isolation, as described below, also comply with the requirements for higher isolation and the relevant test

as described in EN 61800-5-1.

The PELV galvanic isolation can be shown in six locations (see illustration):

In order to maintain PELV all connections made to the control terminals must be PELV, e.g. thermistor must be reinforced/double insulated.

1. Power supply (SMPS) incl. signal isolation of U

, indicating the

intermediate current voltage.

2. Gate drive that runs the IGBTs (trigger transformers/opto-cou-

plers).

2.12 Earth leakage current

Warning:

Touching the electrical ts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains.

Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as load sharing (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as

the motor connection for kinetic back-up.

Before touching any electrical parts, wait at least the amount of time indicated in the

Safety Precautions

section.

Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.

Leakage Current

The earth leakage current from the frequency converter exceeds 3.5 mA. To ensure that the earth cable has a good mechanical

connection to the earth connection (terminal 95), the cable cross section must be at least 10 mm

or 2 rated earth wires terminated

seately.

Residual Current Device

This product can cause a d.c. current in the protective conductor. Where a residual current device (RCD) is used for protection in case

of di rect or ind ir ec t cont ac t, on ly an R CD of Typ e B is all ow ed on the su pply side of thi s p rodu ct. O therw is e, an other pr ot ective measure

shall be applied, such as separation from the environment by double or reinforced insulation, or isolation from the supply system by a

transformer. See also RCD Application Note MN.90.GX.02.

Protective earthing of the frequency converter and the use of RCD's must always follow national and local regulations.

2.13 Control with brake function

2.13.1 Selection of Brake Resistor

In certain applications, for instance centrifuges, it is desirable to bring the motor to a stop more rapidly than can be achieved through controlling via

ramp down or by free-wheeling. In such applications, dynamic braking with a braking resistor may be utilized. Using a braking resistor ensures that the

energy is absorbed in the resistor and not in the frequency converter.

If the amount of kinetic energy transferred to the resistor in each braking period is not known, the average power can be calculated on the basis of the

cycle time and braking time also called intermitted duty cycle. The resistor intermittent duty cycle is an indication of the duty cycle at which the resistor

is active. The below figure shows a typical braking cycle.

The intermittent duty cycle for the resistor is calculated as follows:

Duty Cycle = tb/T

T = cycle time in seconds

is the braking time in seconds (as part of the total cycle time)

Danfoss offers brake resistors with duty cycle of 5%, 10% and 40% suitable for use with the FC202 AQUA drive series. If a 10% duty cycle resistor is

applied, this is able of absorbing braking power upto 10% of the cycle time with the remaining 90% being used to dissipate heat from the resistor.

For further selection advice, please contact Danfoss.

NB!

If a short circuit in the brake transistor occurs, power dissipation in the brake resistor is only prevented by using a mains switch or

contactor to disconnect the mains for the frequency converter. (The contactor can be controlled by the frequency converter).

2.13.2 Control with Brake Function

The brake is protected against short-circuiting of the brake resistor, and the brake transistor is monitored to ensure that short-circuiting of the transistor

is detected. A relay/digital output can be used for protecting the brake resistor against overloading in connection with a fault in the frequency converter.

In addition, the brake makes it possible to read out the momentary power and the mean power for the latest 120 seconds. The brake can also monitor

the power energizing and make sure it does not exceed a limit selected in par. 2-12

Brake Power Limit (kW)

. In par. 2-13

Brake Power Monitoring

, select

the function to carry out when the power transmitted to the brake resistor exceeds the limit set in par. 2-12

Brake Power Limit (kW)

VLT® AQUA Drive Design Guide 2 Introduction to VLT AQUA Drive

MG.20.N5.02 - VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark

Page 34

NB!

Monitoring the brake power is not a safety function; a thermal switch is required for that purpose. The brake resistor circuit is not earth

leakage protected.

Over voltage control (OVC)

(exclusive brake resistor) can be selected as an alternative brake function in par. 2-17

Over-voltage Control

. This function is

active for all units. The function ensures that a trip can be avoided if the DC link voltage increases. This is done by increasing the output frequency to

limit the voltage from the DC link. It is a very useful function, e.g. if the ramp-down time is too short since tripping of the frequency converter is avoided.

In this situation the ramp-down time is extended.

2.14 Mechanical brake control

2.14.1 Brake Resistor Cabling

EMC (twisted cables/shielding)

To reduce the electrical noise from the wires between the brake resistor and the frequency converter, the wires must be twisted.

For enhanced EMC performance a metal screen can be used.

2.15 Extreme running conditions

Short Circuit (Motor Phase – Phase)

The frequency converter is protected against short circuits by means of current measurement in each of the three motor phases or in the DC link. A short

circuit between two output phases will cause an overcurrent in the inverter. The inverter will be turned off individually when the short circuit current

exceeds the permitted value (Alarm 16 Trip Lock.

To protect the drive against a short circuit at the load sharing and brake outputs please see the design guidelines.

Switching on the Output

Switching on the output between the motor and the frequency converter is fully permitted. You cannot damage the frequency converter in any way by

switching on the output. However, fault messages may appear.

Motor-generated Overvoltage

The voltage in the intermediate circuit is increased when the motor acts as a generator.

This occurs in following cases:

1. The load drives the motor, ie. the load generates energy.

2. During deceleration ("ramp-down") if the moment of inertia is high, the friction is low and the ramp-down time is too short for the energy to be

dissipated as a loss in the frequency converter, the motor and the installation.

3. In-correct slip compensation setting may cause higher DC link voltage.

The control unit may attempt to correct the ramp if possible (par. 2-17

Over-voltage Control

The inverter turns off to protect the transistors and the intermediate circuit capacitors when a certain voltage level is reached.

See par. 2-10 and par. 2-17 to select the method used for controlling the intermediate circuit voltage level.

High Temperature

High ambient temperature may overheat the frequency converter.

Mains Drop-out

During a mains drop-out, the frequency converter keeps running until the intermediate circuit voltage drops below the minimum stop level, which is

typically 15% below the frequency converter's lowest rated supply voltage.

The mains voltage before the drop-out and the motor load determines how long it takes for the inverter to coast.

Static Overload in VVC

plus

mode

When the frequency converter is overloaded (the torque limit in par. 4-16/4-17 is reached), the controls reduces the output frequency to reduce the load.

If the overload is excessive, a current may occur that makes the frequency converter cut out after approx. 5-10 s.

Operation within the torque limit is limited in time (0-60 s) in par. 14-25.

2.15.1 Motor Thermal Protection

This is the way Danfoss is protecting the motor from being overheated. It is an electronic feature that simulates a bimetal relay based on internal

measurements. The characteristic is shown in the following figure:

Illustration 2.6: The X-axis is showing the ratio between I

motor

and I

motor

nominal. The Y- axis is showing the time in seconds before the ETR

cuts off and trips the drive. The curves are showing the characteristic nominal speed at twice the nominal speed and at 0,2x the nominal

speed.

It is clear that at lower speed the ETR cuts of at lower heat due to less cooling of the motor. In that way the motor are protected from being over heated

even at low speed. The ETR feature is calculating the motor temperature based on actual current and speed. The calculated temperature is visible as a

read out parameter in par. 16-18

Motor Thermal

in the frequency converter.

The thermistor cut-out value is > 3 kΩ.

Integrate a thermistor (PTC sensor) in the motor for winding protection.

Motor protection can be implemented using a range of techniques: PTC

sensor in motor windings; mechanical thermal switch (Klixon type); or

Electronic Thermal Relay (ETR).

NB!

Check that the chosen supply voltage follows the specification of the used thermistor element.

Summary

With the Torque limit feature the motor is protected for being overloaded independent of the speed. With the ETR the motor is protected for being over

heated and there is no need for any further motor protection. That means when the motor is heated up the ETR timer controls for how long time the

motor can be running at the high temperature before it is stopped in order to prevent over heating. If the motor is overloaded without reaching the

temperature where the ETR shuts of the motor, the torque limit is protecting the motor and application for being overloaded.

NB!

2.15.2 Safe Stop Operation (optional)

The FC 202 can perform the Safety Function “Uncontrolled Stopping by removal of power” (as defined by draft IEC 61800-5-2) or Stop Category 0 (as

defined in EN 60204-1).

It is designed and approved suitable for the requirements of Safety Category 3 in EN 954-1. This functionality is called Safe Stop.

Prior to integration and use of FC 202 Safe Stop in an installation, a thorough risk analysis on the installation must be carried out in order to determine

whether the FC 202 Safe Stop functionality and safety category are appropriate and sufficient.

The Safe Stop function is activated by removing the voltage at Terminal 37 of the Safe Inverter. By connecting the Safe Inverter to external safety devices

providing a safe relay, an installation for a safe Stop Category 1 can be obtained. The Safe Stop function of FC 202 can be used for asynchronous and

synchronous motors.

Safe Stop activation (i.e. removal of 24 V DC voltage supply to terminal 37) does not provide electrical safety.

NB!

The Safe Stop function of FC 202 can be used for asynchronous and synchronous motors. It may happen that two faults occur in the

frequency converter's power semiconductor. When using synchronous motors this may cause a residual rotation. The rotation can be

calculated to Angle=360/(Number of Poles). The application using synchronous motors must take this into consideration and ensure

that this is not a safety critical issue. This situation is not relevant for asynchronous motors.

NB!

In order to use the Safe Stop functionality in conformance with the requirements of EN-954-1 Category 3, a number of conditions must

be fulfilled by the installation of Safe Stop. Please see section

Safe Stop Installation

for further information.

NB!

The frequency converter does not provide a safety-related protection against unintended or malicious voltage supply to terminal 37

and subsequent reset. Provide this protection via the interrupt device, at the application level, or organisational level.

For type of fuse see section

Fuses

American Wire Gauge3) Measured using 5 m screened motor cables at rated load and rated frequency4) The typical power loss is at normal load conditions and expected to be within +/- 15% (tolerance relates to variety in voltage and cable conditions).

Values are based on a typical motor efficiency (eff2/eff3 border line). Lower efficiency motors will also add to the power loss in the frequency converter and vice versa.

If the switching frequency is raised from nominal the power losses may rise significantly.

LCP and typical control card power consumptions are included. Further options and customer load may add up to 30 Watts to the losses. (Though typically only 4 Watts extra for a fully loaded control card or options for slot A or

slot B, each).

Although measurements are made with state of the art equipment, some measurement inaccuracy must be allowed for (+/- 5%).

efficiency motors will also add to the power loss in the frequency converter and vice versa.

If the switching frequency is raised from nominal the power losses may rise significantly. LCP and typical control card power consumptions are included. Further options and customer load may add up to 30 [W] to the losses.

(Though typically only 4 [W] extra for a fully loaded control card, or options for slot A or slot B, each).

Although measurements are made with state of the art equipment, some measurement inaccuracy must be allowed for (+/- 5%).

Adding the F-enclosure option cabinet (resulting in the F3 and F4 enclosure sizes) adds 295 kg to the estimated weight.

Protection and Features:

• Electronic thermal motor protection against overload.

• Temperature monitoring of the heatsink ensures that the frequency converter trips if the temperature reaches 95 °C ± 5°C. An overload tem-

perature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heatsink is below 70 °C ± 5°C (Guideline - these temperatures may vary for different

power sizes, enclosures etc.). VLT AQUA Drive has an auto derating function to avoid it's heatsink reaching 95 deg C.

• The frequency converter is protected against short-circuits on motor terminals U, V, W.

• If a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).

• Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips if the intermediate circuit voltage is too low or too high.

• The frequency converter is protected against earth faults on motor terminals U, V, W.

3.2 Efficiency

Efficiency of VLT AQUA (η

VLT

)

The load on the frequency converter has little effect on its efficiency. In general, the efficiency is the same at the rated motor frequency f

M,N

, even if the

motor supplies 100% of the rated shaft torque or only 75%, i.e. in case of part loads.

This also means that the efficiency of the frequency converter does not change even if other U/f characteristics are chosen.

However, the U/f characteristics influence the efficiency of the motor.

The efficiency declines a little when the switching frequency is set to a value of above 5 kHz. The efficiency will also be slightly reduced if the mains

voltage is 480 V, or if the motor cable is longer than 30 m.

Efficiency of the motor (η)

MOTOR

The efficiency of a motor connected to the frequency converter depends on magnetising level. In general, the efficiency is just as good as with mains

operation. The efficiency of the motor depends on the type of motor.

In the range of 75-100% of the rated torque, the efficiency of the motor is practically constant, both when it is controlled by the frequency converter

and when it runs directly on mains.

In small motors, the influence from the U/f characteristic on effic ienc y is m arginal . H owev er, in mo to rs from 1 1 k W and up, the advantages are significant.

In general, the switching frequency does not affect the efficiency of small motors. Motors from 11 kW and up have their efficiency improved (1-2%). This

is because the sine shape of the motor current is almost perfect at high switching frequency.

Efficiency of the system (η

SYSTEM

To calculate the system efficiency, the efficiency of VLT AQUA (η

VLT

) is multiplied by the efficiency of the motor (η

MOTOR

) = η

Calculate the efficiency of the system at different loads based on the graph above.

3.3 Acoustic noise

The acoustic noise from the frequency converter comes from three sources:

1. DC intermediate circuit coils.

2. Integral fan.

3. RFI filter choke.

3.4 Peak voltage on motor

When a transistor in the inverter bridge switches, the voltage across the motor increases by a du/dt ratio depending on:

- the motor cable (type, cross-section, length screened or unscreened)

- inductance

The natural induction causes an overshoot U

PEAK

in the motor voltage before it stabilizes itself at a level depending on the voltage in the intermediate

circuit. The rise time and the peak voltage U

PEAK

affect the service life of the motor. If the peak voltage is too high, especially motors without phase coil

insulation are affected. If the motor cable is short (a few metres), the rise time and peak voltage are lower.

If the motor cable is long (100 m), the rise time and peak voltage increases.

In motors without phase insulation paper or other insulation reinforcement suitable for operation with voltage supply (such as a frequency converter),

fit a sine-wave filter on the output of the frequency converter.

To obtain approximate values for cable lengths and voltages not mentioned below, use the following rules of thumb:

1. Rise time increases/decreases proportionally with cable length.

2. U

PEAK

= DC link voltage x 1.9

(DC link voltage = Mains voltage x 1.35).

3.5 Special Conditions

3.5.1 Purpose of derating

Derating must be taken into account when using the frequency converter at low air pressure (heights), at low speeds, with long motor cables, cables

with a large cross section or at high ambient temperature. The required action is described in this section.

3.5.2 Derating for Ambient Temperature

The average temperature (T

AMB, AVG

) measured over 24 hours must be at least 5 °C lower than the maximum allowed ambient temperature (T

AMB,MAX

If the frequency converter is operated at high ambient temperatures, the continuous output current should be decreased.

The derating depends on the switching pattern, which can be set to 60 AVM or SFAVM in parameter 14-00.

3.5.3 Derating for Low Air Pressure

The cooling capability of air is decreased at lower air pressure.

Below 1000 m altitude no derating is necessary but above 1000 m the ambient temperature (T

AMB

) or max. output current (I

out

) should be derated in

accordance with the shown diagram.

Illustration 3.19: Derating of output current versus altitude at T

AMB, MAX

for frame sizes A, B and C. At altitudes above 2 km, please contact

Danfoss Drives regarding PELV.

An alternative is to lower the ambient temperature at high altitudes and thereby ensure 100% output current at high altitudes. As an example of how to

read the graph, the situation at 2 km is elaborated. At a temperature of 45° C (T

AMB, MAX

- 3.3 K), 91% of the rated output current is available. At a

temperature of 41.7° C, 100% of the rated output current is available.

3.5.4 Derating for Running at Low Speed

When a motor is connected to a frequency converter, it is necessary to check that the cooling of the motor is adequate.

The level of heating depends on the load on the motor, as well as the operating speed and time.

Constant torque applications (CT mode)

A problem may occur at low RPM values in constant torque applications. In a constant torque application s a motor may over-heat at low speeds due to

less cooling air from the motor integral fan.

Therefore, if the motor is to be run continuously at an RPM value lower than half of the rated value, the motor must be supplied with additional air-cooling

(or a motor designed for this type of operation may be used).

An alternative is to reduce the load level of the motor by choosing a larger motor. However, the design of the frequency converter puts a limit to the

motor size.

Variable (Quadratic) torque applications (VT)

In VT applications such as centrifugal pumps and fans, where the torque is proportional to the square of the speed and the power is proportional to the

cube of the speed, there is no need for additional cooling or de-rating of the motor.

In the graphs shown below, the typical VT curve is below the maximum torque with de-rating and maximum torque with forced cooling at all speeds.

Maximum Load for a Standard Motor at 40 °C driven by a frequency converter type VLT FCxxx

Legend: ─ ─ ─ ─Typical torque at VT load ─•─•─•─Max torque with forced cooling ‒‒‒‒‒Max torque

Note 1) Over-syncronous speed operation will result in the available motor torque decreasing inversely proportional with the increase in speed. This

must be considered during the design phase to avoid over-loading of the motor.

Page 65

3.5.5 Derating for Installing Long Motor Cables or Cables with Larger Cross-Section

NB!

Applicable for drives up to 90 kW only.

The maximum cable length for this frequency converter is 300 m unscreened and 150 m screened cable.

The frequency converter has been designed to work using a motor cable with a rated cross-section. If a cable with a larger cross-section is used, reduce

the output current by 5% for every step the cross-section is increased.

(Increased cable cross-section leads to increased capacity to earth, and thus an increased earth leakage current).

3.5.6 Automatic Adaptations to Ensure Performance

The frequency converter constantly checks for critical levels of internal temperature, load current, high voltage on the intermediate circuit and low motor

speeds. As a response to a critical level, the frequency converter can adjust the switching frequency and / or change the switching pattern in order to

ensure the performance of the frequency converter. The capability to automatically reduce the output current extends the acceptable operating conditions

even further.

3.6 Options and Accessories

Danfoss offers a wide range of options and accessories for the frequency converters.

3.6.1 Mounting of Option Modules in Slot B

The power to the frequency converter must be disconnected.

3.6.10 Extended Cascade Controller MCO 101 and Advanced Cascade Controller, MCO 102

Cascade control is a common control system used to control parallel pumps or fans in an energy efficient way.

The Cascade Controller option provides the capability to control multiple pumps configured in parallel in a way that makes them appear as a single larger

pump.

When using Cascade Controllers, the individual pumps are automatically turned on (staged) and turned off (de-staged) as needed in order to satisfy the

required system output for flow or pressure. The speed of pumps connected to VLT AQUA Drives is also controlled to provide a continuous range of

system output.

Illustration 3.24: Cascade control of multiple pumps

The Cascade Controllers are optional hardware and software components that can be added to the VLT AQUA Drive. It consists of an option board

containing 3 relays that is installed in the B option location on the Drive. Once options are installed the parameters needed to support the Cascade

Controller functions will be available through the control panel in the 27-** parameter group. The Extended Cascade Controller offers more functionality

than the Basic Cascade Controller. It can be used to extend the Basic Cascade with 3 relays and even to 8 relays with the Advanced Cascade Control card

installed.

While the Cascade controller is designed for pumping applications and this document describes the cascade controller for this application, it is also possible

to use the Cascade Controllers for any application requiring multiple motors configured in parallel.

3.6.11 General Description

The Cascade Controller software runs from a single VLT AQUA Drive with the Cascade Controller option card installed. This frequency converter is referred

to as th e Ma ste r Drive. It co ntr ols a se t of pumps each controlled by a frequency converter or connected directly to mains through a contactor or through

a soft starter.

Each additional frequency converter in the system is referred to as a Follower Drive. These frequency converters do not need the Cascade Controller

option card installed. They are operated in open loop mode and receive their speed reference from the Master Drive. The pumps connected to these

frequency converters are referred to as Variable Speed Pumps.

Each additional pump connected to mains through a contactor or through a soft starter is referred to as a Fixed Speed Pump.

Each pump, variable speed or fixed speed, is controlled by a relay in the Master Drive. The frequency converter with the Cascade Controller option card

installed has five relays available for controlling pumps. Two (2) relays are standard in the FC and additional 3 relays are found on the option card MCO

101 or 8 relays and 7 digital inputs on option card MCO 102.

VLT® AQUA Drive Design Guide 3 VLT AQUA Selection

MG.20.N5.02 - VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark

Page 76

The difference between MCO 101 and MCO 102 is mainly the number of optional relays being made available for the FC. When MCO 102 is installed, the

relays option card MCB 105 may be mounted in the B-slot.

The Cascade Controller is capable of controlling a mix of variable speed and fixed speed pumps. Possible configurations are described in more detail in

the next section. For simplicity of description within this manual, Pressure and Flow will be used to describe the variable output of the set of pumps

controlled by the cascade controller.

Wiring the Terminals

Do not combine low voltage parts and PELV systems.

3.6.13 Brake Resistors

In applications where the motor is used as a brake, energy is generated in the motor and send back into the frequency converter. If the energy can not

be transported back to the motor it will increase the voltage in the converter DC-line. In applications with frequent braking and/or high inertia loads this

increase may lead to an over voltage trip in the converter and finally a shut down. Brake resistors are used to dissipate the excess energy resulting from

the regenerative braking. The resistor is selected in respect to its ohmic value, its power dissipation rate and its physical size. Danfoss offers a wide variety

of different resistors that are specially designed to our frequency converters. See the section

Control with brake function

for the dimensioning of brake

resistors. Code numbers can be found in the section

3.6.16 Input Filters

Harmonic current distortion is caused by the 6-pulse diode rectifier of the variable speed drive. The harmonic currents are affecting the installed serial

equipment identical to reactive currents. Consequently harmonic current distortion can result in overheating of the supply transformer, cables etc. De-

pending on the impedance of the power grid, harmonic current distortion can lead to voltage distortion also affecting other equipment powered by the

same transformer. Voltage distortion is increasing losses, causes premature aging and worst of all erratic operation. The majority of harmonics are reduced

by the built-in DC coil but if additional reduction is needed, Danfoss offers two types of passive filters.

The Danfoss AHF 005 and AHF 010 are advanced harmonic filters, not to be compared with traditional harmonic trap filters. The Danfoss harmonic filters

have been specially designed to match the Danfoss frequency converters.

AHF 010 is reducing the harmonic currents to less than 10% and the AHF 005 is reducing harmonic currents to less than 5% at 2% background distortion

and 2% imbalance.

3.6.17 Output Filters

The high speed switching of the frequency converter produces some secondary effects, which influence the motor and the enclosed environment. These

side effects are addressed by two different filter types, -the du/dt and the Sine-wave filter.

3 VLT AQUA Selection VLT® AQUA Drive Design Guide

MG.20.N5.02 - VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark

Page 81

du/dt filters

Motor insulation stresses are often caused by the combination of rapid voltage and current increase. The rapid energy changes can also be reflected back

to the DC-line in the inverter and cause shut down. The du/dt filter is designed to reduce the voltage rise time/the rapid energy change in the motor and

by that intervention avoid premature aging and flashover in the motor insulation. du/dt filters have a positive influence on the radiation of magnetic noise

in the cable that connects the drive to the motor. The voltage wave form is still pulse shaped but the du/dt ratio is reduced in comparison with the

installation without filter.

Sine-wave filters

Sine-wave filters are designed to let only low frequencies pass. High frequencies are consequently shunted away which results in a sinusoidal phase to

phase voltage waveform and sinusoidal current waveforms.

With the sinusoidal waveforms the use of special frequency converter motors with reinforced insulation is no longer needed. The acoustic noise from the

motor is also damped as a consequence of the wave condition.

Besides the features of the du/dt filter, the sine-wave filter also reduces insulation stress and bearing currents in the motor thus leading to prolonged

motor lifetime and longer periods between services. Sine-wave filters enable use of longer motor cables in applications where the motor is installed far

from the drive. The length is unfortunately limited because the filter does not reduce leakage currents in the cables.

3.7.1 Installation of Duct Cooling Kit in Rittal Enclosures

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

enclosure a 200 mm base/plinth is required.

Illustration 3.29: Installation of IP00 in Rittal TS8 enclosure.

The minimum enclosure dimension is:

• D3 and D4 frame: Depth 500 mm and width 600 mm.

• E2 frame: Depth 600 mm and width 800 mm.

The maximum depth and width are as required by the installation. When using multiple frequency converters in one enclosure it is recommended that

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

Chassis frequency converters in Rittal TS8 IP 20 and UL and NEMA 1 and IP 54 and UL and NEMA 12 enclosures.

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

converter.

NB!

A door-fan(s) is required on the Rittal cabinet to remove the loses not contained in the back-channel of the drive. The minimum door-

fan(s) airflow required at the drive maximum ambient for the D3 and D4 is 391 m^3/h (230 cfm). The minimum door-fan(s) airflow

required at the drive maximum ambient for the E2 is 782 m^3/h (460 cfm). If the ambient is below maximum or if additional compo-

nents, heat loses, are added within the enclosure a calculation must be m ad e to en su re the pr oper a irflo w i s prov ided to c ool the inside

RCD (Residual Current Device)

Uses the core balance method to monitor ground fault currents in grounded and high-resistance grounded systems (TN and TT systems in IEC termi-

nology). There is a pre-warning (50% of main alarm set-point) and a main alarm set-point. Associated with each set-point is an SPDT alarm relay for

external use. Requires an external “window-type” current transformer (supplied and installed by customer).

• Integrated into the drive’s safe-stop circuit

• IEC 60755 Type B device monitors AC, pulsed DC, and pure DC ground fault currents

• LED bar graph indicator of the ground fault current level from 10–100% of the set-point

• Fault memory

• TEST / RESET button

Insulation Resistance Monitor (IRM)

Monitors the insulation resistance in ungrounded systems (IT systems in IEC terminology) between the system phase conductors and ground. There is

an ohmic pre-warning and a main alarm set-point for the insulation level. Associated with each set-point is an SPDT alarm relay for external use. Note:

only one insulation resistance monitor can be connected to each ungrounded (IT) system.

• Integrated into the drive’s safe-stop circuit

• LCD display of the ohmic value of the insulation resistance

•Fault Memory

• INFO, TEST, and RESET buttons

IEC Emergency Stop with Pilz Safety Relay

Includes a redundant 4-wire emergency-stop push-button mounted on the front of the enclosure and a Pilz relay that monitors it in conjunction with the

drive’s safe-stop circuit and the mains contactor located in the options cabinet.

Manual Motor Starters

Provide 3-phase power for electric blowers often required for larger motors. Power for the starters is provided from the load side of any supplied contactor,

circuit breaker, or disconnect switch. Power is fused before each motor starter, and is off when the incoming power to the drive is off . Up to two starters

are allowed (one if a 30A, fuse-protected circuit is ordered). Integrated into the drive’s safe-stop circuit.

Unit features include:

• Operation switch (on/off)

• Short-circuit and overload protection with test function

• Manual reset function

30 Ampere, Fuse-Protected Terminals

• 3-phase power matching incoming mains voltage for powering auxiliary customer equipment

• Not available if two manual motor starters are selected

• Terminals are off when the incoming power to the drive is off

• Power for the fused protected terminals will be provided from the load side of any supplied contactor, circuit breaker, or disconnect switch.

24 VDC Power Supply

• 5 amp, 120 W, 24 VDC

• Protected against output over-current, overload, short circuits, and over-temperature

• For powering customer-supplied accessory devices such as sensors, PLC I/O, contactors, temperature probes, indicator lights, and/or other

electronic hardware

• Diagnostics include a dry DC-ok contact, a green DC-ok LED, and a red overload LED

External Temperature Monitoring

Designed for monitoring temperatures of external system components, such as the motor windings and/or bearings. Includes eight universal input modules

plus two dedicated thermistor input modules. All ten modules are integrated into the drive’s safe-stop circuit and can be monitored via a fieldbus network

(requires the purchase of a separate module/bus coupler).

4How to Order

4.1 Ordering form

4.1.1 Drive Configurator

It is possible to design a VLT AQUA frequency converter according to the application requirements by using the ordering number system.

For the VLT AQUA, you can order standard drives and drives with integral options by sending a type code string describing the product a to the Danfoss

sales office, i.e.:

FC-202P18KT4E21H1XGCXXXSXXXXAGBKCXXXXDX

The meaning of the characters in the string can be located in the pages containing the ordering numbers in the chapter

How to Select Your VLT

. In the

example above, a Profibus LON works option and a General purpose I/O option is included in the drive.

Ordering numbers for VLT AQUA Drive standard variants can also be located in the chapter

How to Select Your VLT

From the Internet based Drive Configurator, you can configure the right drive for the right application and generate the type code string. The Drive

Configurator will automatically generate an eight-digit sales number to be delivered to your local sales office.

Furthermore, you can establish a project list with several products and send it to a Danfoss sales representative.

The Drive Configurator can be found on the global Internet site: www.danfoss.com/drives.
