Guide.
See section General Specifications for correct dimensioning of motor cable cross-section and length.
11
AF-600 FP High Power Operating Instructions
Screening of cables:
Avoid installation with twisted screen ends (pigtails). They spoil the screening effect at higher frequencies. If it is necessary to break the screen to install a motor
isolator or motor contactor, the screen must be continued at the lowest possible HF impedance.
Connect the motor cable screen to both the de-coupling plate of the frequency converter and to the metal housing of the motor.
Make the screen connections with the largest possible surface area (cable clamp). This is done by using the supplied installation devices within the frequency
converter.
Cable-length and cross-section:
The frequency converter has been EMC tested with a given length of cable. Keep the motor cable as short as possible to reduce the noise level and leakage

AF-600 FP High Power Operating Instructions
3.1.2 Earthing
The following basic issues need to be considered when installing a frequency converter, so as to obtain electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
•Safety earthing: Please note that the frequency converter has a high leakage current and must be earthed appropriately for safety reasons. Apply local
safety regulations.
•High-frequency earthing: Keep the earth wire connections as short as possible.
Connect the different earth systems at the lowest po ssible conductor impedance. The lowest possible conductor impedance is obtained by keeping the conductor
as short as possible and by using the greatest possible surface area.
3
The metal cabinets of the different devices are mounted on the cabinet rear plate using the lowest possible HF impedance. This avoids having different HF voltages
for the individual devices and avoids the risk of radio interference currents running in connection cables that may be used between the devices. The radio
interference will have been reduced.
In order to obtain a low HF impedance, use the fastening bolts of the devices as HF connection to the rear plate. It is necessary to remove insulating paint or
similar from the fastening points.
3.1.3 Extra Protection (RCD)
ELCB relays, multiple protective earthing or earthing can be used as extra protection, provided that local safety regulations are complied with.
In the case of an earth fault, a DC component may develop in the fault current.
If ELCB relays are used, local regulations must be observed. Relays must be suitable for protection of 3-phase equipment with a bridge rectifier and for a brief
discharge on power-up.
See also the section Special Conditions in the Design Guide.
3.1.4 Drives with factory installed A1/B1 RFI Filter option:
Mains supply isolated from earth
If the frequency converter is supplied from an isolated mains source ( IT mains, floating delta and grounded delta) or TT/TN-S mains with grounded leg, the RFI
switch is recommended to be turned off (OFF)
motors are connected or the motor cable length is above 25 m, it is recommended to set par. SP-50 RFI Filter to [ON].
1)
Not available for 525-600 V frequency converters.
In OFF, the internal RFI capacities (filter capacitors) between the chassis and the intermediate circuit are cut off to avoid damage to the intermediate circuit and
to reduce the earth capacity currents (according to IEC 61800-3).
It is important to use isolation monitors that are capable for use together with power electronics (IEC 61557-8).

For motor cable lengths ≤ the maximum cable length listed in the General Specifications tables the following motor insulation ratings are recommended because
the peak voltage can be up to twice the DC link voltage, 2.8 times the mains voltage, due to transmission line effects in the motor cable. If a motor has lower
insulation rating it recommended to use a du/dt or sine wave filter.

3.1.15 Motor Bearing Currents
All motors installed with drives 90kW or higher power drives should have NDE (Non-Drive End) insulated bearings installed to eliminate circulating bearing currents.
To minimize DE (Drive End) bearing and shaft currents proper grounding of the drive, motor, driven machine, and motor to the driven machine is required.
Standard Mitigation Strategies:
1.Use an insulated bearing
2.Apply rigorous installation procedures
3
-Ensure the motor and load motor are aligned
-Strictly follow the EMC Installation guideline
-Reinforce the PE so the high frequency impedance is lower in the PE than the input power leads
-Provide a good high frequency connection between the motor and the frequency converter for instance by screened cable which has a 360°
connection in the motor and the frequency converter
-Make sure that the impedance from frequency converter to building ground is lower that the grounding impedance of the machine. This can
be difficult for pumps
-Make a direct earth connection between the motor and load motor
3.Lower the IGBT switching frequency
4.Modify the inverter waveform, 60° AVM vs. SFAVM
5.Install a shaft grounding system or use an isolating coupling
6.Apply conductive lubrication
7.Use minimum speed settings if possible
8.Try to ensure the line voltage is balanced to ground. This can be difficult for IT, TT, TN-CS or Grounded leg systems
9.Use a dU/dt or sinus filter
3.1.16 Control cable routing
Tie down all control wires to the designated control cable routing as shown
in the picture. Remember to connect the shields in a proper way to ensure
optimum electrical immunity.
Field Installed Network Module options connection
Connections are made to the network options on the control card. For details
see the relevant network instructions. The cable must be placed to the left
inside the frequency converter and tied down together with other control
wires (see picture).
Illustration 3.16: Wire path for control wiring.
26
In the IP 00 (Chassis) and IP 21 (NEMA 1) units it is also possible to connect the
network from the top of the unit as shown on the picture to the right. On the
IP 21 (NEMA 1) unit a cover plate must be removed.

Very long control cables and analogue signals may in rare cases and depending on installation result in 50/60 Hz earth loops due to noise from mains supply
cables.
If this occurs, it may be necessary to break the screen or insert a 100 nF capacitor between screen and chassis.
The digital and analog inputs and outputs must be connected separately to the frequency converter common inputs (terminal 20, 55, 39) to avoid earth currents
from both groups to affect other groups. For example, switching on the digital input may disturb the analog input signal.

NB!
Installations with cables connected in a common joint as in the illustration
below, is only recommended for short cable lengths.
NB!
When motors are connected in parallel, par. P-04 Auto Tune cannot be used.
NB!
The electronic thermal overload of the frequency converter cannot be used
as motor protection for the individual motor in systems with parallel-con-
nected motors. Provide furthe r motor protection by e.g. thermistors in each
motor or individual thermal relays (circuit breakers are not suitable as pro-
tection).
AF-600 FP High Power Operating Instructions
Problems may arise at start and at low RPM values if motor sizes are widely different because small motors' relatively high ohmic resistance in the stator calls for
a higher voltage at start and at low RPM values.
3.5.2 Motor Thermal Protection
The electronic thermal overload in the frequency converter has received UL-approval for single motor protection, when par. F-10 Electronic Overload is set for
Elec. OL Trip and par. P-03 Motor Current is set to the rated motor current (see motor name plate).

5.3.6 Cooling and Airflow
Cooling
Cooling can be obtained in different ways, by using the cooling ducts in the bottom and the top of the unit, by taking air in and out the back of the unit or by
combining the cooling possibilities.
Duct cooling
A dedicated option has been developed to optimize installation of IP00/chassis drive types in Rittal TS8 Units utilizing the fan of the frequency converter for forced
air cooling of the backchannel. Please consult GE for more details.
The air out the top of the Unit could but ducted outside a facility so the heat loses from the backchannel are not dissipated within the control room reducing air-
conditioning requirements of the facility.
Please contact GE for more information.
Back cooling
The backchannel air can also be ventilated in and out the back of a Rittal TS8 Unit. This offers a solution where the backchannel could take air from outside the
facility and return the heat loses outside the facility thus reducing air-conditioning requirements.
5
NB!
A doorfan(s) is required on the Rittal cabinet to remove the loses not contained in the backchannel of the drive. The minimum doorfan(s) airflow required at the
drive maximum ambient for the 43 and 44 is 391 m^3/h (230 cfm). The minimum doorfan(s) airflow required at the drive maximum ambient for the 52 is 782
m^3/h (460 cfm). If the ambient is below maximum or if additional components, heat loses, are added within the Unit a calculation must be made to ensure the
proper airflow is provided to cool the inside of the Rittal Unit.
Airflow
The necessary airflow over the heat sink must be secured. The flow rate is shown below.

AN-##Analog In / OutParameters used to program the functions associated with all analog inputs and analog outputs for the
terminals on the control card and General Purpose I/O option (OPCGPIO) (note: For Analog I/O option OPCAIO,
see parameter group AO-00) including: analog input live zero timeout function (which for example can be used
to command a cooling tower fan to operate at full speed if the condenser water return sensor fails); scaling
of the analog input signals (for example to match the analog input to the mA and pressure range of a static
d uc t pr e ss u re s en s o r) ; fi l te r ti m e co n st a nt t o f i lt e r ou t electrical noise on the analog signal which can sometimes
occur when long cables are installed; function and scaling of the analog outputs (for example to provide an
analog output representing motor current or kW to an analog input of a DDC controller) and to configure the
analog outputs to be controlled by the BMS via a high level interface (HLI) (e.g. to control a chilled water valve)
including ability to define a default value of these outputs in the event of the HLI failing.
SP-##Special Functio nsParameters used to configure spe cial functions of the frequency converter including: kinetic back-up function
(especially useful for critical applications in semi-conductor installations where performance under mains dip/
mains loss is important); mains imbalance protection; automatic reset (to avoid the need for a manual reset
of Alarms); energy optimisation parameters (which typically do not need changing but enable fine tuning of
this automatic function (if necessary) ensuring the frequency converter and motor combination operate at
their optimum efficiency at full and partial load conditions) and auto-derating functions (which enable the
frequency converter to continue operation at reduced performance under extreme operating conditions en-
suring maximum up time).

the Keypad or viewed in this parameter group. These parameters can be particularly useful during commis-
sioning when interfacing with a BMS via a high level interface.
LG-##Logs & I/O Opt. StatusRead only parameters which display the last 10 prevantative maintenance log items, actions and time and
the value of analog inputs and outputs on the Analog I/O option card which can be particularly useful during
commissioning when interfacing with a BMS via a high level interface.
AP-##HVAC Appl. Param.Parameters used to monitor, protect and control pumps, fans and compressors including: no flow detection
and protection of pumps (including auto-setup of this function); dry pump protection; end of curve detection
and protection of pumps; sleep mode (especially useful for cooling tower and booster pump sets); broken belt
detection (typically used for fan applications to detect no air flow instead of using a ∆p switch installed across
the fan); short cycle protection of compressors and pump flow compensation of setpoint (especially useful for
secondary chilled water pump applications where the ∆p sensor has been installed close to the pump and not
acoss the furthest most significant load(s) in the system; using this function can compensate for the sensor
installation and help to realise the maximum energy savings).
FB-##Fire/Bypass OperationParameters used to set-up Fire Mode and/or to control a bypass contactor/starter if designed into the system.
T-##Timed FunctionsTime based parameters including: those used to initiate daily or weekly actions based on the built in real time
clock (e.g. change of setpoint for night set back mode or start/stop of the pump/fan/compressor start/stop of
a external equipment); preventative mainte nance functions which can be based on running or operating hour
time intervals or on specific dates and times; energy log (especially useful in retrofit applications or where
information of the actual historical load (kW) on the pump/fan/compressor is of interest); trending (especially
useful in retrofit or other applications where there is an interest to log operating power, current, frequency or
speed of the pump/fan/compressor for analysis and a payback counter.
CL-##PID Closed LoopParameters used to configure the closed loop PI(D) controller which controls the speed of the pump, fan or
compressor in closed loop mode including: defining where each of the 3 possible feedback signals come from
(e.g. which analog input or the BMS HLI); conversion factor for each of the feedback signals (e.g. where a
pressure signal is used for indication of flow in an AHU or converting from pressure to temperature in a
compressor application); engineering unit for the reference and feedback (e.g. Pa, kPa, m Wg, in Wg, bar, m3/
s, m3/h, °C, °F etc); the function (e.g. sum, difference, average, minimum or maximum) used to calculate the
resulting feedback for single zone applications or the control philosophy for multi-zone applications; pro-
gramming of the setpoint(s) and manual or auto-tuning of the PI(D) loop.
XC-##Ext. PID Closed LoopParameters used to configure the 3 extended closed loop PI(D) controllers which for example can be used to
control external actuators (e.g. chilled water valve to maintain supply air temperature in a VAV system) in-
cluding: engineering unit for the reference and feedback of each controller (e.g. °C, °F etc); defining the range
of the reference/setpoint for each controller; defining where each of the references/setpoints and feedback
signals come from (e.g. which analog input or the BMS HLI); programming of the setpoint and manual or auto-
tuning of the each of the PI(D) controllers.
PC-##Pump ControllerParameters used to configure and monitor the built in pump cascade controller (typically used for pump
booster sets).
LC-##Logic ControllerParameters used to configure the built in Logic Controller (LC) which can be used for simple functions such as
comparators (e.g. if running above xHz, activate output relay), timers (e.g. when a start signal is applied, first
activate output relay to open supply air damper and wait x seconds before ramping up) or a more complex
sequence of user defined actions executed by the LC when the associated user defined event is evaluated as
TRUE by the LC. (For example, initiate an economiser mode in a simple AHU cooling application control scheme
where there is no BMS. For such an application the LC can monitor the outside air relative humidity and if it is
below a defined value, the supply air temperature setpoint could be automatically increased. With the fre-
quency converter monitoring the outside air relative humidity and supply air temperature via it’s analog inputs
and controlling the chilled water valve via one of the extended PI(D) loops and an analog output, it would then
modulate that valve to maintain a higher supply air temperature). The LC can often replace the need for other
external control equipment.
B-##BrakesParameters used to configure braking functions of the frequency converter which although not common in
many AF-600 FP applications, can be useful on special fan applications. Parameters including: DC braking;
dymamic/resistor braking and over voltage control (which provides automatic adjustment of the deceleration
rate (auto-ramping) to avoid tripping when decelerating large inertia fans)
Parameter descriptions and selections are displayed on the keypad display. (See relevant section for details.) Access the parameters by pressing the [Quick
Menu] or [Main Menu] button on the keypad. The Quick Menu is used primarily for commissioning the unit at start-up by providing the parameters necessary to
start operation. The Main Menu provides access to all parameters for detailed application programming.
All digital input/output and analog input/output terminals are multifunctional. All terminals have factory default functions suitable for the majority of AF-600 FP
applications but if other special functions are required, they must be programmed as explained in parameter group E-## or AN-##.
