Environmental statement
Emerson Industrial Automation is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations and of its
products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is certified to the
International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is
available on request, or can be found at:
http://www.emersonindustrial.com/en-EN/controltechniques/aboutus/environment/Pages/environment.aspx.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Emerson Industrial Automation have the potential to save energy and (through
increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout their long working lifetime. In typical
applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded but should instead be
recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products easy to dismantle into their major component
parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured
with conventional fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller products come
in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled.
Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Emerson Industrial
Automation’s packaging strategy prefers easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify
opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best practice.
This installation guide provides complete information for installing and operating the drive from start to finish.
The information is in logical order, taking the reader from receiving the drive through to fine tuning the performance.
There are specific safety warnings throughout this guide, located in the relevant sections. In addition, Chapter 1 Safety information contains general safety information. It is essential that the warnings are observed and the information
considered when working with or designing a system using the drive.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
These electronic drive products are intended to be used with appropriate motors, controllers, electrical protection components and other
equipment to form complete end products or systems. Compliance with safety and EMC regulations depends upon installing and
configuring drives correctly, including using the specified input filters.
The drives must be installed only by professional installers who are familiar with requirements for safety and EMC. Refer to the Product
Documentation. An EMC data sheet is available giving detailed information. The assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end product
or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used.
A Warning contains information which is essential for
avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of
the product.
1.2 Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this Installation
Guide.
1.3 System design and safety of
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into
complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may
present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored
electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause
injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system
design to avoid hazards either in normal operation or in the event of
equipment malfunction. System design, installation, commissioning/
start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have
the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety
information and this Installation Guide carefully.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate
dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external
option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical
isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the
drive functions should be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e.
they must not be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which
might result in a hazard, either through their intended behavior or
through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application where a
malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow
damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an
over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a
fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related
application. The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the
complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.

1.5 Access
Drive access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.6 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire
enclosure must be provided. For further information, refer to section
5.2.5 Fire protection on page 39.
1.7 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
This Installation Guide contains instruction for achieving compliance with
specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used
must comply with the following directives:
Safety of Machinery 2006/42/EC
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU
1.8 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed
operation. If it is intended to use the capability of the drive to run a motor
at speeds above its designed maximum, it is strongly recommended that
the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan
becomes less effective. The motor should be installed with a protection
thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in Pr 00.046 motor rated
current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
1.9 Mechanical brake control
The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated
operation of an external brake with the drive. While both hardware and
software are designed to high standards of quality and robustness, they
are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure
would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect
operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury,
independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be
incorporated.
1.10 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.
1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions in this Installation Guide regarding transport, storage,
installation and use of the drive must be complied with, including the
specified environmental limits. Drives must not be subjected to
excessive physical force.

1.11 Electrical installation
1.11.1 Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric
shock and may be lethal:
AC supply cables and connections
Output cables and connections
Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and
must not be touched.
1.11.2 Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been
energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before
work may continue.
The Unidrive M / Unidrive HS modular drive offers the possibility of implementing many custom power systems with a wide range of power modules.
The power range is 110 kW to 2.8 MW and the modular design of input and output stages enables a wide range of very compact and efficient systems
to be realized. These include:
•Parallel output stages for higher power motors:
Size 9 and 10:
Up to a maximum of 20 modules
(1 master module with up to 19 follower modules, OR
1 remote mounted control master pod controlling up to 20 followers. This allows the user to place all control circuitry in one low voltage
cabinet)
Size 11:
Up to a maximum of 10 modules
(1 master module with up to 9 follower modules OR 1 remote mounted control master pod controlling up to 10 followers).
•Common DC bus multi-drive systems for:
Connection to larger existing power supplies
Energy sharing between motoring and regenerating drives
•Active front end drive systems for:
Minimizing supply current harmonics
Four quadrant motor control
•Multiple controlled rectifier bridges for:
Minimizing supply current harmonics by drawing 6, 12 or 18 pulse supply load currents.
2.1 Rectifier
A separate input line reactor (INLXXX) of at least the value shown in Table 6-2 Model and line reactor part numbers on page 93 must be
used with the rectifiers. Failure to provide sufficient reactance could damage or reduce the service life of the rectifier or inverter.
The Unidrive M / Unidrive HS rectifier is a half controlled SCR/thyristor bridge and is used as a front end to the size 9, size 10 or size 11 inverter
module. The rectifier cannot be used as a stand alone rectifier for several smaller drives.

3.1 Ratings
The drive is dual rated.
The setting of the motor rated current determines which rating applies Heavy Duty or Normal Duty.
The two ratings are compatible with motors designed to IEC60034.
The graph aside illustrates the difference between Normal Duty and
Heavy Duty with respect to continuous current rating and short term
overload limits.

Technical dataUL Information
Normal DutyHeavy Duty (default)
For applications which use Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction
motors and require a low overload capability, and full torque at low
speeds is not required (e.g. fans, pumps).
Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motors require increased
protection against overload due to the reduced cooling effect of the fan
at low speed. To provide the correct level of protection the I
operates at a level which is speed dependent. This is illustrated in the
graph below.
The speed at which the low speed protection takes effect can be
changed by the setting of Low Speed Thermal Protection Mode
(04.025). The protection starts when the motor speed is below 15 % of
base speed when Pr 04.025 = 0 (default) and below 50 % when
Pr 04.025 = 1.
Operation of motor I2t protection
Motor I2t protection is fixed as shown below and is compatible with:
•Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motors
2
t software
For constant torque applications or applications which require a high
overload capability, or full torque is required at low speeds (e.g. winders,
hoists).
The thermal protection is set to protect force ventilated induction motors
and permanent magnet servo motors by default.
N
If the application uses a self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motor
and increased thermal protection is required for speeds below 50 %
base speed, then this can be enabled by setting Low Speed Thermal Protection Mode (04.025) = 1.
Motor I2t protection defaults to be compatible with:
•Forced ventilation induction motors
•Permanent magnet servo motors

The maximum percentage overload limit changes depending on the selected motor. Variations in motor rated current, motor power factor and motor
leakage inductance all result in changes in the maximum possible overload. The exact value for a specific motor can be calculated using the
equations detailed in Menu 4 in the Parameter Reference Guide.
Typical values are shown in the table below for RFC (RFC-A or RFC-S) and open loop (OL) modes:

Generally the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current allowing a higher level of overload than the default setting.
The time allowed in the overload region is proportionally reduced at very low output frequency on some drive ratings.
The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.

3.2 Operating modes
The drive is designed to operate in any of the following modes:
1. Open loop mode
Open loop vector mode
Fixed V/F mode (V/Hz)
Quadratic V/F mode (V/Hz)
2. RFC - A mode
With position feedback sensor
Without position feedback sensor (Sensorless)
3. RFC - S mode
With position feedback sensor
Without position feedback sensor (Sensorless)
4. Regen mode
3.2.1 Open loop mode
The drive applies power to the motor at frequencies varied by the user. The motor speed is a result of the output frequency of the drive and slip due
to the mechanical load. The drive can improve the speed control of the motor by applying slip compensation. The performance at low speed depends
on whether V/F mode or open loop vector mode is selected.
Open loop vector mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where the drive uses motor parameters to apply the
correct voltage to keep the flux constant under varying load conditions.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 1 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Fixed V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is set by the
user. This mode can be used for multi-motor applications.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 4 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Quadratic V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the square of the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is
set by the user. This mode can be used for running fan or pump applications with quadratic load characteristics or for multi-motor applications. This
mode is not suitable for applications requiring a high starting torque.
3.2.2 RFC-A mode
Rotor Flux Control for Asynchronous (induction) motors (RFC-A) encompasses closed loop vector control with a position feedback device
With position feedback
For use with induction motors with a feedback device installed. The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback device to ensure
the rotor speed exactly as demanded. Motor flux is accurately controlled at all times to provide full torque all the way down to zero speed.
Without position feedback (Sensorless)
Sensorless mode provides closed loop control without the need for position feedback by using current, voltages and key motor parameters to
estimate the motor speed. It can eliminate instability traditionally associated with open loop control such as operating large motors with light loads at
low frequencies.
3.2.3 RFC-S mode
Rotor Flux Control for Synchronous (permanent magnet brushless) motors (RFC-S) provides closed loop control with position feedback device.
With position feedback
For use with permanent magnet brushless motors with a feedback device installed.
The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback device to ensure the rotor speed is exactly as demanded. Flux control is not
required because the motor is self excited by the permanent magnets which form part of the rotor.
Absolute position information is required from the feedback device to ensure the output voltage is accurately matched to the back EMF of the motor.
Full torque is available all the way down to zero speed.
3.2.4 Regen mode
For use as a regenerative front end for four quadrant operation.
Regen operation allows bi-directional power flow to and from the AC supply. This provides far greater efficiency levels in applications which would
otherwise dissipate large amounts of energy in the form of heat in a braking resistor.
The harmonic content of the input current is negligible due to the sinusoidal nature of the waveform when compared to a conventional bridge rectifier
or SCR/thyristor front end.

Date code format
The date code is split into two sections: a letter followed by a number. The letter indicates the year, and the number indicates the week number (within
the year) in which the drive was built. The letters go in alphabetical order, starting with A in 1991 (B in 1992, C in 1993 etc).
Example:
A date code of W28 would correspond to week 28 of year 2013.

4.1.1 DC fusing
The Unidrive M/HS modular system has undergone safety testing and proving when using the specified AC input fuses, including the case where the
size 11 twin rectifier is used to supply two D type modules. A fault in any module is cleared by the AC input fuses.
If more rectifiers or inverters are connected to the DC bus then the prospective fault current and the energy delivered before a fault is cleared are
increased because of the multiple sources and the increased stored energy in the inverter capacitors. It then becomes necessary to provide fuses in
the DC bus. This is illustrated in Figure 4-13.
Figure 4-13 Fault current contributions
As shown in Figure 4-14 when DC fuses are required they must be placed in the rectifier output circuits as well as the inverter inputs, since they are
also exposed to the total fault-current infeed. For the size 11 twin rectifier, only one fuse pair is needed for the complete module.
The only exception to this rule is where the rectifier input fuses are reduced in rating so that the total i2t let-through for all of the phases is no greater
than that for the standard recommended fuses for the 6-pulse arrangement. This will be the case for some of the lower-power multi-pulse
arrangements. This needs to be verified on a case-by-case basis.
All DC fuses are in pairs, i.e. one in each pole, to provide protection against earth faults.
Figure 4-14 12-pulse system using twin rectifiers and 6-phase AC distribution with odd number of inverter modules
Please see Table 6-15 DC fuse and cable ratings for Unidrive M / HS size 9, 10 and 11 inverters on page 102 for DC fuse ratings.
A single two meter paralleling cable is supplied with each follower pod. 1 m, 2 m and 5 m cables are also available separately (see Table 4-1 for part

5 Mechanical Installation
This chapter describes all the mechanical details required to install the
drive. The drive is intended to be installed in an enclosure. Key features
of this chapter include:
•Surface and through-panel mounting
•Remote mounting of control master pod
•Enclosure sizing and layout
•Terminal location and torque settings
5.1 Safety information
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must
be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be referred to
the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the
owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and
any external option unit, and the way in which they are
operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or
applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice in
the country in which the equipment is used.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who
are familiar with the requirements for safety and EMC. The
assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end product or
system complies with all the relevant laws in the country
where it is to be used.
Many of the drives in this product range weigh in excess of 15
kg (33 lb). Use appropriate safeguards when lifting these
models.
Mechanical
Installation
Electrical
Installation
Technical dataUL Information
5.2.3 Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified
operating temperature being exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure
gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one, and may
need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
For further information, please refer to section 5.6.4 Enclosure sizing on
page 64.
5.2.4 Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions.
Electrical installation instructions are given in Chapter 6 Electrical Installation on page 85.
5.2.5 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire
enclosure must be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1,
standard for PV inverters) is recommended.
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet
requirements which can be summarized for larger enclosures as using
materials meeting at least UL 94 class 5VB at the point of minimum
thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure
5-1. Any part of the side which is within the area traced out by the 5°
angle is also considered to be part of the bottom of the fire enclosure.
Figure 5-1 Fire enclosure bottom layout
Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which
prevents access except by trained and authorized
personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination.
It is designed for use in an environment classified as
pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 60664-1. This
means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is
acceptable.
5.2 Planning the installation
The following considerations must be made when planning the installation:
5.2.1 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with. The
IP (Ingress Protection) rating of the drive is installation dependent.
5.2.2 Environmental protection
The drive must be protected from:
•moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and
condensation. An anti-condensation heater may be required, which
must be switched off when the drive is running.
•contamination with electrically conductive material
•contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or
impair airflow over various components
•temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
•corrosive gasses
During installation it is recommended that the vents on the drive are
covered to prevent debris (e.g. wire off-cuts) from entering the drive.
The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the
bottom, must be designed to prevent escape of burning material - either
by having no openings or by having a baffle construction. This means
that openings for cables etc. must be sealed with materials meeting the
5VB requirement, or else have a baffle above. See Figure 5-2 for
acceptable baffle construction. This does not apply for mounting in an
enclosed electrical operating area (restricted access) with concrete floor.
Variable speed drives are powerful electronic circuits which can cause
electromagnetic interference if not installed correctly with careful
attention to the layout of the wiring.
Some simple routine precautions can prevent disturbance to typical
industrial control equipment.
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that
electromagnetically sensitive equipment is located nearby, then full
precautions must be observed. In-built into the drive, is an internal EMC
filter, which reduces emissions under certain conditions. If these
conditions are exceeded, then the use of an external EMC filter may be
required at the drive inputs, which must be located very close to the
drives. Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made
for carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in
section 6.13 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 108.
5.2.7 Hazardous areas
The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is
installed in an approved enclosure and the installation is certified.
5.3 Terminal cover removal
Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an
approved isolation device before any cover is removed from
the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
Mechanical
Installation
Electrical
Installation
Technical dataUL Information
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a
potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been
disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC
supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work
may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal
resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible
that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output
terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that causes the
display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control
Techniques or their authorized distributor.
5.3.1 Removing the terminal covers
Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9/10/11 D and E are installed with three
terminal covers: Control, input and output terminal covers.
Unidrive M / Unidrive HS rectifiers are installed with two terminal covers:
Input and output terminal covers. The terminal covers must be removed
to gain access to all the terminals.

5.5 Dimensions and mounting methods
Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9, 10, 11 and rectifier can be either surface or through-panel mounted using the appropriate brackets.
Surface mounting is where the drive is simply secured to the enclosure wall/backplate.
Through-panel mounting is where the drive is secured with the heatsink protruding through the enclosure panel to the external environment. This has
the effect of reducing the temperature within the enclosure.
The following drawings show the dimensions of the drive and mounting holes for each method to allow a back plate to be prepared.
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink can reach temperatures in excess of 70°C (158°F). Human
contact with the heatsink should be prevented.
Many of the drives in this product range weigh in excess of 15 kg (33 lb). Use appropriate safeguards when lifting these models. Use the
appropriate lifting bracket as shown in Figure 3-7 Options available for Unidrive M/HS modular drives on page 24.

Drive derating is required for operation in high ambient temperatures
Totally enclosing or through panel mounting the drive in either a sealed
cabinet (no airflow) or in a well ventilated cabinet makes a significant
difference on drive cooling.
The chosen method affects the ambient temperature value (T
rate
) which
should be used for any necessary derating to ensure sufficient cooling
for the whole of the drive.
The ambient temperature for the four different combinations is defined
below:

Figure 5-32 Ambient temperature correction factor
•The ambient temperature correction factor used is for altitude
calculation only. If the ambient is less than 40°C the drive cannot be
over rated. The maximum permissible output currents should remain
the same as those given at 40 °C.
•If the drive is required to operate above 40 °C the derates at 50 °C
should be applied.
•The same applies for altitude below 1000 m. There should be no
over rating at lower altitude
For applications over 3000 m, contact the supplier of the drive.
5.6.4 Enclosure sizing
This section looks at a method for cooling a medium power density
enclosure. By running through a worked example it brings out the issues
associated with cooling the drives when they are completely mounted
inside an enclosure.
This example only considers one possible method of enclosing the
drives and tries to highlight and solve thermal issues created by hot air
recirculating inside an enclosure. Other methods of enclosure design are
also possible, such as through panel mounting, which removes many of
the issues discussed in this chapter. Refer to section 5.5.2 Through-panel mounting on page 54.
The enclosure design example will use the following conditions:
•Enclosure placed in a room with a 30°C ambient and an altitude
<1000 m
•Continuous output current requirement from the system = 650 A
Parts used in system model:
•1800 mm (70.87 in) x 800 mm (31.5 in) x 500 mm (19.69 in)

Calculating temperature rise in enclosure
dT = 3kPr/V
Where:
3
V = Airflow in m
/hr (Unidrive flow rate = 305)
dT = Temperature rise
Pr = Loss affecting drive temp
k = 1 / Altitude de-rate
Therefore ambient temperature rise (dT):
= (3 x 1 x 3510.4) / 305
= 34.5 °C
So,
Ambient temperature inside enclosure = External ambient +
temperature rise = 64.5 ° C
This shows that with the maximum allowable ambient drive temperature
of 40 °C, the enclosure will overheat.
Processing results
Option 1: If the absolute temperature inside the enclosure is still less
than 50 °C, select a drive with the correct rating at 50 ° C.
Option 2: Add more venting, if possible, to reduce the recirculation and
recalculate.
Option 3: Add an enclosure fan.
Option 4: Redesign the enclosure so that the drives can be through
panel mounted. This means that most of the heat can escape outside
the main enclosure, and the input air into the heat sinks will remain at the
external ambient and not be affected by recirculation. Refer to section
5.5.2 Through-panel mounting on page 54.
This is an approximation of the amount of air that is re-circulated within
the enclosure due to inlet and outlet venting restrictions. The factor has a
safety factor built in to it to ensure a safe result. The factor has been
calculated using CFD software, testing the amount of heat flow back into
the drive when different vent restrictions are given. The factor can also
be applied to an Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9/10 E and separated
Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9/10 D.
Calculate loss which affects the drive inlet air temperature
Loss affecting drive temperature (Pr) = Lower choke Loss (Pc) +
(Total loss of single drive (Dp) x Recirculation factor (Rf))
= 250 + (4290 x 0.76)
= 3510 W
This is the loss from 1 drive unit only as simulations have shown that
with drives mounted inline and in a symmetric system the losses are
shared equally.
Heat loss through the front of the drive still needs to be considered.
Adding enclosure fan
Calculate required flow rate
•Fan needs to remove the effect of re-circulation and the added
choke loss.
•Loss affecting drive temp (Pr) = 3510.4 W
•The above Loss of 3510.4 W is for one drive only, so with an
enclosure of 2 units the total loss to remove = 7020.8 W
Calculate the temperature rise allowed in the enclosure:
Temperature rise (dT) = (Allowable drive ambient - 5 {safety
factor}) - External ambient
= (40 - 5) - 30
= 5 °C
Then using:
V = 3kPr/ (dT)
Flow rate required to remove loss = (3x1x7020.8) / 5
= 4212.5 m

Selecting fan
Considerations when selecting fan:
•Dimensions and space limitation
•Required flow rate
•Static pressure
•Noise level
•Power supply
Tab l e 5- 7 Typ e of f a n
Backward curved Blower (Centrifugal)
•Outward flow perpendicular to inward flow
•Good at high + low back pressures
•Good resistance to dust and dirt due to
impeller design
•Do not need cowling
•Relatively small diameters required for
high airflow
Forward curved blower (Centrifugal)
•Requires cowling
•Good at directing flow
Axial Fan
•Not good at high pressure but good for
low pressure applications such as room
venting and ducting
•Inward flow and outward flow is in same
direction
•Good in straight line duct applications.
•Large diameters required for high air flows
Fan curves
Once the type of fan has been selected the next step is to match the
system characteristics of your enclosure to the fan performance curve.
Selected fan is a Backward curved centrifugal blower to place in the roof
and take advantage of the perpendicular flow and high flow rate
properties.
Figure 5-37 AC supply 400 mm diameter blower performance
Final summary
1. Enclosure fans can be placed on inlet and outlet depending on
system limitations.
2. Considerations with fan on outlet:
•Higher Ambient temperature surrounding fan, can affect fan life.
•Depressurisation of enclosure which may draw in dust through
any apertures.
3. Considerations with fan on inlet:
•Proximity of dust filter to fan, can create excess back pressure
on fan
•Non-uniform flow across internal components
4. Dust filters:
Use the largest filter possible, in order to:
a. Increase dust capacity
b. Reduce pressure drop
5. Make sure Drive inlets are as close to the enclosure air inlet as
possible
6. Do not block the inlet and outlets of the drive airflow. Keep to best
practice spacing between drives and other parts in enclosure.
7. Beware of blocking air inlets or outlets with cable routing.
5.7 Heatsink fan operation
The Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9, 10, 11 and the rectifier are
ventilated by a heatsink mounted fan and an auxiliary fan to ventilate the
drive box. The fan housing forms a baffle plate, channelling the air
through the heatsink chamber. Thus, regardless of mounting method
(surface mounting or through-panel mounting), the installation of
additional baffle plates is not required.
Ensure the minimum clearances around the drive are maintained to
allow air to flow freely.
The heatsink fan on Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9, 10, 11 and the
rectifier is a variable speed device. The drive controls the speed at which
the fan runs based on the temperature of the heatsink and the drive's
thermal model system. The Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9, 10 and 11
are also installed with variable speed fans to ventilate the capacitor
bank.

5.8 Enclosing drive for high environmental protection
The standard drive is rated to IP20 pollution degree 2 (dry, non-conductive contamination only) (NEMA 1). However, it is possible to configure the
drive to achieve a higher IP rating at the rear of the heatsink when through-panel mounted.
This allows the front of the drive, along with various switchgear, to be housed in an IP55 (NEMA 12) enclosure with the heatsink protruding through
the panel to the external environment. Thus, the majority of the heat generated by the drive is dissipated outside the enclosure maintaining a reduced
temperature inside the enclosure. This also relies on a good seal being made between the heatsink and the rear of the enclosure using the gaskets
provided.
Figure 5-38 Example of high IP through-panel layout
The main gasket should be installed as shown in Figure 5-38. Any screws / bolts that are used for mounting should be installed with M8 flat nylon
washers to maintain a seal around the screw hole.
See Figure 5-39 on page 69, sealing clamps are supplied in the through panel mounting kit to aid compression of the gasket.
The heatsink fans have conformal coated PCBs and have sealant at cable entry points. Dripping, splashing or sprayed water can impede the
operation of the fan, therefore if the environment is such that the fan may be subjected to more than occasional dripping or sprayed water while
operational, then suitable drip protection covers should be employed.

Many cable management features have been incorporated into the
product and accessories, this chapter shows how to optimize them. Key
features include:
•Safe Torque Off function
•Internal EMC filter
•EMC compliance with shielding / grounding accessories
•Product rating, fusing and cabling information
•Brake resistor details (selection / ratings)
Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause
severe electric shock and may be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•DC and brake cables, and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single
insulated and must not be touched.
Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using
an approved isolation device before any cover is removed
from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages
from the drive, the motor or any external option units.
Use of rectifiers other than Unidrive M / Unidrive HS rectifier
If a rectifier other than Unidrive M / Unidrive HS Rectifier is
used with Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 9D/10D/11D, then it
must be installed with line to ground varistors which are
capable of reducing overvoltage transients from category III
to values of category II. (ref. EN61800-5-1). This is to ensure
L-E transients do not exceed 4 kV because there are no
varistors installed in a D module, and the insulation system
from power to ground is designed to category II.
Any non Control Techniques rectifier must be installed with
AC line fuses that correspond to those specified for the
Unidrive M / Unidrive HS rectifier. If this is not possible then
DC fuses should be specified for the Unidrive M / Unidrive HS
size 9D/10D/11D. This is to ensure validity of the safety
testing carried out to complete the safety file and for UL
certification, especially in the event of a short circuit bus cap
in the DC bus.
0V control connections on bothUnidrive M / Unidrive HS
sizes 9, 10 and 11 drives are internally earthed and cannot be
disconnected. Ensure that there is adequate equipotential
bonding between parts of a system with interconnected
control wiring.
The power supply to all modules in a multi-module system should be
applied at the same time, to ensure the drive powers-up correctly.
Otherwise the drive may power-up with a hardware fault (HF) trip code.
Safe Torque Off function
The Safe Torque Off function does not remove dangerous
voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option
units.

The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a
potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been
disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC
supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work
may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal
resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible
that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output
terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that causes the
display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control
Techniques or their authorized distributor.
Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in
equipment which is connected to the AC supply by a plug
and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are
connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes
which are not intended to give safety isolation. If the plug
terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected
from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug
from the drive must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
Permanent magnet motors
Permanent magnet motors generate electrical power if they
are rotated, even when the supply to the drive is
disconnected. If that happens then the drive will become
energized through its motor terminals.
If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the
supply is disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from
the drive before gaining access to any live parts.

The second RJ45 connector (61 - comms out) is for daisy-chaining
rectifiers.
* See section 6.1.3 Ground connections on page 90.
The drive must be connected to the system ground of the AC supply.
The ground wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of
practice.
The ground loop impedance must conform to the
requirements of local safety regulations.
The drive must be grounded by a connection capable of
carrying the prospective fault current until the protective
device (fuse, etc.) disconnects the AC supply.
The ground connections must be inspected and tested at
appropriate intervals.
Electrochemical corrosion of earthing terminals
Ensure that grounding terminals are protected against
corrosion i.e. as could be caused by condensation.
On a Unidrive M/Unidrive HS size 9, 10, 11 and rectifiers, the supply and
motor ground connections are made using an M10 bolt at the top
(supply) and bottom (motor) of the drive. See Figure 6-9 to Figure 6-14.
The supply ground and motor ground connections to the drive are
connected internally by a copper conductor with a cross-sectional area
200 V drive: 200 V to 240 V ±10%
400 V drive: 380 V to 480 V ±10%
575 V drive: 500V to 575 V ±10%
690 V drive: 500 V to 690 V ±10%
Number of phases: 3
Maximum supply imbalance: 2 % negative phase sequence (equivalent to 3% voltage imbalance between phases).
Frequency range: 45 to 66 Hz
The maximum supply symmetrical fault current must be limited to 100 kA (also required for UL compliance).
6.2.1 Supply types
Drives rated for supply voltage up to 575 V are suitable for use with any supply type, i.e. TN-S, TN-C-S, TT, IT, with grounding at any potential, i.e.
neutral, centre or corner ("grounded-delta").
Grounded delta supplies >575 V are not permitted.
Drives are suitable for use on supplies of installation category III and lower, according to IEC60664-1. This means they may be connected
permanently to the supply at its origin in a building, but for outdoor installation additional over-voltage suppression (transient voltage surge
suppression) must be provided to reduce category IV to category III.
Operation with IT (ungrounded) supplies:
Special attention is required when using internal or external EMC filters with ungrounded supplies, because in the event of a ground
(earth) fault in the motor circuit the drive may not trip and the filter could be over-stressed. In this case, either the filter must not be used
(removed) or additional independent motor ground fault protection must be provided, refer to Table 6-1. For details of ground fault
protection contact the supplier of the drive.
A ground fault in the supply has no effect in any case. If the motor must continue to run with a ground fault in its own circuit then an input isolating
transformer must be provided and if an EMC filter is required it must be located in the primary circuit.
Unusual hazards can occur on ungrounded supplies with more than one source, for example on ships. Contact the supplier of the drive for more information.
Table 6-1 Behavior of the drive in the event of a ground (earth) fault with an IT supply
* Please note that the internal filter is not removable on size 9E/T, 10E/T and 11E/T.
•Remove the EMC filter*
•Use ground leakage relay
May not trip – precautions required:
•Do not use EMC filter

6.2.2 Input line reactor specifications
A separate input line reactor of at least the value shown in Table 6-2 to Table 6-4 must be used with all modular drives other than size 9A
(which has an internal line reactor). Failure to provide sufficient reactance could damage or reduce the service life of the rectifier or inverter.
Figure 6-15 Input line reactor/output sharing choke dimensions
6.2.3 Supplies requiring additional line reactance
Additional line reactance reduces the risk of damage to the drive resulting from poor phase balance or severe disturbances on the supply network. It
also reduces harmonic current emission.
Where additional line reactance is to be used, added reactance of approximately 2 % is recommended. Higher values may be used if necessary, but
may result in a loss of drive output (reduced torque at high speed) because of the voltage drop.
For all drive ratings, 2 % additional reactance permits drives to be used with a supply unbalance of up to 3.5 % negative phase sequence (equivalent
to 5 % voltage imbalance between phases).
Severe disturbances may be caused by the following factors, for example:
•Power factor correction equipment connected close to the drive.
•Large DC drives having no or inadequate line reactors connected to the supply.
•Direct-on-line started motor(s) connected to the supply such that when any of these motors are started, the voltage dip exceeds 20 %.
Such disturbances may cause excessive peak currents to flow in the input power circuit of the drive. This may cause nuisance tripping, or in extreme
cases, failure of the drive.
Drives of low power rating may also be susceptible to disturbance when connected to supplies with a high rated capacity.
When required, each drive must have its own reactor(s). Three individual reactors or a single three-phase reactor should be used.
Reactor current ratings
The current rating of the line reactors should be as follows:
Continuous current rating:
Not less than the continuous input current rating of the drive
Repetitive peak current rating:
Not less than twice the continuous input current rating of the drive
6.2.4 Additional input inductance calculation
To calculate the additional inductance required (at Y%), use the following equation:
Where:
I = drive rated input current (A)
L = inductance (H)
f = supply frequency (Hz)
V = voltage between lines

6.3.1 Dual output sharing chokes
The OTLX1X parallel output sharing chokes can only be used when two Unidrive M/Unidrive HS Modular drives are paralleled together.
For all other combinations the OTLX0X output sharing choke must be used. OTLX1X dual paralleling output sharing chokes should only
be used up to the published current ratings outlined in Table 6-7 and Table 6-8 below. If the full rating of the drive is required then single
sharing chokes should be used.

6.3.2 Cooling requirements for higher output frequencies
Single OTL output sharing chokes - OTLX0X
Up to output frequencies of 300 Hz, 1 m/s airflow provides adequate cooling.
Above 300 Hz, the following equation must be used to calculate the required airflow:
0.75
S = (f
Where:
Example:
Output frequency is 450 Hz
S = (450
= 1.4 m/s
Dual OTL output sharing chokes - OTLX1X
The OTLX1X dual output sharing choke core does not see the change in drive output frequency as this choke is a current cancelling choke. Only the
drives switching frequency has an affect on the core loss.
Therefore motor frequency is not an issue until higher frequencies cause high copper losses due to skin effect.
Therefore with the dual OTL chokes, only 1 m/s airflow is required.
Maximum output frequency for OTL chokes
The maximum allowable output frequency for OTL output sharing chokes, singles or duals, should be limited to 1000 Hz.

6.4 Supplying the Unidrive M/Unidrive HS size 9A, 9D, 10D and 11D drives with DC / DC
bus paralleling
The drive may be supplied with DC instead of 3 phase AC.
The connecting of the DC bus between several drives is typically used to:
1.Return energy from a drive which is being overhauled by the load to a second motoring drive.
2.Allow the use of one braking resistor to dissipate regenerative energy from several drives.
There are limitations to the combinations of drives which can be used in this configuration.
For further information, contact the supplier of the drive.
It is not possible to supply Unidrive M/Unidrive HS size 9E/T, 10E/T and 11E/T drives with DC due to the lack of an accessible negative DC terminal.
6.5 Heatsink fan supply
When operating on normal mains supply the heatsink fan on all drive sizes is supplied internally by the drive. When operating in low voltage mode it
is necessary to connect an external 24V supply to terminal 61 and 62 if heatsink fan operation is required. Please see section 6.7 Low voltage operation on page 98 for more details.
6.6 24 Vdc supply
The 24 Vdc supply connected to control terminals 1 & 2* provides the following functions:
•It can be used to supplement the drive's own internal 24 V supply when multiple option modules are being used and the current drawn by these
module is greater than the drive can supply.
•It can be used as a back-up power supply to keep the control circuits of the drive powered up when the line power supply is removed. This allows
any fieldbus modules, application modules, encoders or serial communications to continue to operate.
•It can be used to commission the drive when the line power supply is not available, as the display operates correctly. However, the drive will be in
the Under voltage state unless either line power supply or low voltage DC operation is enabled, therefore diagnostics may not be possible.
(Power down save parameters are not saved when using the 24 V back-up power supply input).
•If the DC bus voltage is too low to run the main SMPS in the drive, then the 24 V supply can be used to supply all the low voltage power
requirements of the drive. Low Under Voltage Threshold Select (06.067) must also be enabled for this to happen.
On size 9 and larger, the power 24 Vdc supply (terminals 51, 52) must be connected to enable the 24 V dc supply to be used as a backup supply,
when the line power supply is removed. If the power 24 Vdc supply is not connected none of the above mentioned functions can be used, "Waiting
For Power System" will be displayed on the keypad and no drive operations are possible. The location of the power 24 Vdc can be identified from

With the addition of a 24 Vdc power supply to supply the control circuits, the drive is able to operate from a low voltage DC supply with a range from
24 Vdc to the maximum DC volts.It is possible for the drive to go from operating on a normal line power supply voltage to operating on a much lower
supply voltage without interruption.
Going from low voltage operation to normal mains operation requires the inrush current to be controlled. This may be provided externally. If not, the
drive supply can be interrupted to utilise the normal soft starting method in the drive.
To fully exploit the new low voltage mode of operation, the under voltage level is now user programmable. For application data, contact the supplier of
the drive.
