Safety

Warning!
Dangerous Electrical Voltage!

Before Commencing the Installation

●

Disconnect the power supply of the device

●

Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted

●

Verify isolation from the supply

●

Earth and short circuit the device

●

Cover or enclose any adjacent live components

●

Follow the engineering instructions (IL04020001E) for the
device concerned

●

Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this
device/system

●

Before installation and before touching the device ensure
that you are free of electrostatic charge

●

The functional earth (FE, PES) must be connected to the
protective earth (PE) or the potential equalization. The
system installer is responsible for implementing this
connection

●

Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so
that inductive or capacitive interference does not impair
the automation functions

●

Install automation devices and related operating elements
in such a way that they are well protected against
unintentional operation

●

Suitable safety hardware and software measures should
be implemented for the I/O interface so that an open
circuit on the signal side does not result in undefined
states in the automation devices

●

Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the extra-low
voltage of the 24V supply. Only use power supply units
complying with IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or
HD384.4.41 S2

●

Deviations of the input voltage from the rated value must
not exceed the tolerance limits given in the specifications,
otherwise this may cause malfunction and dangerous
operation

●

Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60204-1
must be effective in all operating modes of the automation
devices. Unlatching the emergency-stop devices must not
cause a restart

●

Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or
control cabinets must only be operated and controlled
after they have been installed and with the housing closed.
Desktop or portable units must only be operated and
controlled in enclosed housings

VSD Series II

●

Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of
programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This
should not cause dangerous operating states even for a
short time. If necessary, emergency-stop devices should
be implemented

●

Wherever faults in the automation system may cause
injury or material damage, external measures must be
implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the event
of a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of
separate limit switches, mechanical interlocks, and so on)

●

Depending on their degree of protection, variable speed
drives may contain live bright metal parts, moving or
rotating components, or hot surfaces during and
immediately after operation

●

Removal of the required covers, improper installation, or
incorrect operation of motor or variable speed drive may
cause the failure of the device and may lead to serious
injury or damage

●

The applicable national accident prevention and safety
regulations apply to all work carried out on live variable
speed drives

●

The electrical installation must be carried out in
accordance with the relevant regulations (for example,
with regard to cable cross sections, fuses, PE)

●

Transport, installation, commissioning, and maintenance
work must be carried out only by qualified personnel
(IEC 60364, HD 384 and national occupational safety
regulations)

●

Installations containing variable speed drives must be
provided with additional monitoring and protective devices
in accordance with the applicable safety regulations.
Modifications to the variable speed drives using the
operating software are permitted

●

All covers and doors must be kept closed during operation

●

To reduce hazards for people or equipment, the user must
include in the machine design measures that restrict the
consequences of a malfunction or failure of the drive
(increased motor speed or sudden standstill of motor).
These measures include:

●

Other independent devices for monitoring safety-related
variables (speed, travel, end positions, and so on)

●

Electrical or non-electrical system-wide measures
(electrical or mechanical interlocks)

●

Never touch live parts or cable connections of the
variable speed drive after it has been disconnected from
the power supply. Due to the charge in the capacitors,
these parts may still be live after disconnection. Fit
appropriate warning signs

connected to hazardous line voltages. When servicing
drives and electronic controllers, there may be exposed
components with housings or protrusions at or above
line potential. Extreme care should be taken to protect
against shock.

Stand on an insulating pad and make it a habit to use only
one hand when checking components. Always work with
another person in case an emergency occurs. Disconnect
power before checking controllers or performing
maintenance. Be sure equipment is properly grounded. Wear
safety glasses whenever working on electronic controllers or
rotating machinery.

Warnings and Cautions

CAUTION

When selecting the cable cross-section, take the voltage
drop under load conditions into account.

The consideration of other standards (for example, VDE 0113
or VDE 0289) is the responsibility of the user.

CAUTION

The specified minimum PE conductor cross-sections
(EN 50178, VDE 0160) must be maintained.

WARNING

With frequency inverters, only AC/DC sensitive residual
current circuit breakers (RCD type B) are to be used
(EN 50178, IEC 755).

CAUTION

Debounced inputs may not be used in the safety circuit
diagram.

Residual current circuit breakers (RCD) are only to be
installed between the AC power supply network and the
frequency inverter.

CAUTION

Debounced inputs may not be used in the safety circuit
diagram.

If you are connecting multiple motors on one frequency
inverter, you must design the contactors for the individual
motors according to utilization category AC-3.

Selecting the motor contactor is done according to the rated
operational current of the motor to be connected.

CAUTION

Debounced inputs may not be used in the safety circuit
diagram.

A changeover between the frequency inverter and the input
supply must take place in a voltage-free state.

Electrical Power Network

Input Connection and Configuration

The VSD Series II frequency inverters can be connected and
operated with all control-point grounded AC power networks
(see IEC 60364 for more information).

AC Power Networks with Grounded Center Point
(TN-/TT Networks)

L1
L2
L3
N
PE

While planning the project, consider a symmetrical
distribution to the three external conductors, if multiple
frequency inverters with single-phase supplies are to be
connected. The total current of all single-phase consumers is
not to cause an overload of the neutral conductor
(N-conductor).

The connection and operation of frequency inverters to
asymmetrically grounded TN networks (phase-grounded
Delta network “Grounded Delta”, USA) or non-grounded or
high-resistance grounded (over 30 ohms) IT networks is only
conditionally permissible.

If the VSD Series II frequency inverters are connected to an
asymmetrically grounded network or to an IT network
(non-grounded, insulated), the internal interference
suppression filter must be disconnected (unscrew the screw
marked EMC, see “Installation in IT System” on Page 33).
The required filtering for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
is then no longer present.

Measures for electromagnetic compatibility are mandatory in
a drive system in order to meet the legal requirements for
EMC and low voltage regulations.

Good grounding measures are a prerequisite for the effective
insert of further measures such as shielding or filters.
Without respective grounding measures, further steps are
superfluous.

Input Voltage and Frequency

The standardized input voltages (IEC 60038, VDE017-1) for
energy suppliers (EVU) guarantee the following conditions at
the transition points:

●

Deviation from the rated value of voltage: maximum ±10%

●

Deviation in voltage phase balance: maximum ±3%

●

Deviation from rated value of the frequency:
maximum ±4%

The broad tolerance band of the VSD Series II frequency
inverter considers the rated value for European as
(EU: U
(USA: U

●

For the bottom voltage value, the permitted voltage drop of
4% in the consumer circuits is also taken into account,
therefore a total of U

Engineering

Voltage Balance

Because of the uneven loading on the conductor, and with
the direct connection of greater power ratings, deviations
from the ideal voltage form and asymmetrical voltages can
be caused in three-phase AC power networks. These
asymmetric divergences in the input voltage can lead to
different loading of the diodes in input rectifiers with
three-phase supplied frequency inverters, and as a result,
an advance failure of this diode.

In the project planning for the connection of three-phase
supplied frequency inverters (HMX32, HMX34), consider
only AC power networks that handle permitted asymmetric
divergences in the input voltage +3%.

If this condition is not fulfilled, or symmetry at the connection
location is not known, the use of an assigned main choke is
recommended.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

The THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) is a measurement for
the occurring harmonic distortion of the sinusoidal oscillation
(input power side) input variables with the frequency
inverter. It is given in percent of the total value.

Idle Power Compensation Devices

Compensation on the power supply side is not required for
VSD Series II frequency inverters. From the AC power supply
network, they take on very little reactive power of the
fundamental harmonics (cos ~ 0.98).

In the AC power networks with non-choked idle current
compensation devices, current deviations can enable parallel
resonance and undefinable circumstances.

In the project planning for the connection of frequency
inverters to AC power networks with undefined
circumstances, consider using main chokes.

Safety and Switching

Fuses and Cable Cross-Sections

The fuses and wire cross-sections allocated for power-side
connections depend on the rated input current I
frequency inverter (without input reactor).

LN

of the

CAUTION

When selecting the cable cross-section, take the voltage
drop under load conditions into account.

The consideration of other standards (for example, VDE 0113
or VDE 0289) is the responsibility of the user.

The national and regional standards (for example VDE 0113,
EN 60204) must be observed and the necessary approvals
(for example UL) at the site of installation must be fulfilled.

When the device is operated in a UL-approved system, use
only UL-approved breakers, fuses, fuse bases, and cables.

The leakage currents to ground (to EN 50178) are greater
than 3.5 mA. The connection terminals marked PE and the
housing must be connected with the ground circuit.

CAUTION

The specified minimum PE conductor cross-sections
(EN 50178, VDE 0160) must be maintained.

Choose the cross-section of the PE conductor in the motor
lines at least as large as the cross-section of the phase lines
(U, V, W).

Cables and Fuses

The cross-sections of the cables and line protection fuses
used must correspond with local standards.

For an installation in accordance with UL guidelines, the
fuses and copper cable that are UL-approved and have a
heat-resistance of 167° to 194°F (75° to 90°C) are to be used.

Use power cables with insulation according to the specified
input voltages for the permanent installation. A shielded
cable is not required on the input side.

A completely (360°) shielded low impedance cable is
required on the motor side. The length of the motor cable
depends on the RFI class and must not exceed 500 ft (153m)
without additional filtering.

Residual-Current Device (RCD)

RCD (Residual Current Device): Residual current device,
residual current circuit breaker (FI circuit breaker).

Residual current circuit breakers protect persons and animals
from the existence (not the origination) of impermissibly high
contact voltages. They prevent dangerous, and in some
cases deadly injuries caused by electrical accidents, and also
serve as fire prevention.

WARNING

With frequency inverters, only AC/DC sensitive residual
current circuit breakers (RCD type B) are to be used
(EN 50178, IEC 755).

Identification on the Residual-Current Circuit-Breakers

AC/DC sensitive
(RCD, type B)

Frequency inverters work internally with rectified AC
currents. If an error occurs, the DC currents can block a type
A RCD circuit breaker from triggering and therefore disable
the protective functionality.

CAUTION

Debounced inputs may not be used in the safety circuit
diagram.

Residual current circuit breakers (RCD) are only to be
installed between the AC power supply network and the
frequency inverter.

Safety-relevant leakage currents can occur while handling
and when operating the frequency inverter, if the frequency
inverter is not grounded (because of a fault).

Leakage currents to ground are mainly caused by foreign
capacities with frequency inverters; between the motor
phases and the shielding of the motor cable and via the
Y-capacitors of the noise filter. The size of the leakage
current is mainly dependent upon the:

●

length of the motor cable

●

shielding of the motor cable

●

height of the pulse frequency (switching frequency of the
inverter)

●

design of the noise filter

●

grounding measures at the site of the motor

4 VSD Series II LIT-12011772—October 2012 www.johnsoncontrols.com

Engineering

The leakage current to ground is greater than 3.5 mA with a
frequency inverter. Based on the requirements of EN 50178,
an increased ground (PE) has to be connected. The cable
cross-section must be at least 10 mm

2

or consist of two

separately connected ground cables.

Residual current circuit breakers must be suitable for:

●

the protection of installations with DC current component
in case of fault scenario (RCD type B)

●

high leakage currents (300 mA)

●

brief discharges of pulse current spikes

Input Contactor

The input contactor enables an operational switching on and
off of the supply voltage for the frequency inverter, and
switching off in case of a fault.

The input contactor is designed based on the input current
(I

) of the frequency inverter and the utilization category

LN

AC-1 (IEC 60947). Input contactors and the assignment to
VSD Series II frequency inverters are explained in the
appendix.

While planning the project, make sure that inching operation
is not done via the input contactor of the frequency inverter
on frequency-controlled drives, but through a controller input
of the frequency inverter.

The maximum permitted operating frequency of the input
voltage with the VSD Series II frequency inverter is one time
per minute (normal operation).

EMC Measures

Electrical components in a system (machine) have a
reciprocal effect on each other. Each device not only emits
interference but is also affected by it. The interference can
be produced by galvanic, capacitive, and/or inductive
sources, or by electromagnetic radiation. In practice, the limit
between line-conducted interference and emitted
interference is around 30 MHz. Above 30 MHz, cables and
conductors act like antennas that radiate electromagnetic
waves.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for frequency controlled
drives (variable speed drives) is implemented in accordance
with product standard IEC/EN 61800-3. This includes the
complete power drive system (PDS), from the input supply to
the motor, including all components, as well as cables (see
figure on Page 1 ). This type of drive system can consist of
several individual drives.

The generic standards of the individual components in a PDS
compliant with IEC/EN 61800-3 do not apply. These
component manufacturers, however, must offer solutions
that ensure standards-compliant use.

In Europe, maintaining the EMC guidelines is mandatory.

A declaration of conformity (CE) always refers to a “typical”
power drive system (PDS). The responsibility to comply with
the legally stipulated limit values and thus the provision of
electromagnetic compatibility is ultimately the responsibility
of the end user or system operator. This operator must also
take measures to minimize or remove emission in the
environment concerned (see figure below). He must also use
means to increase the interference immunity of the devices
of the system.

With their high interference immunity up to category C2,
VSD Series II frequency inverters are ideal for use in
commercial networks (1st environment).

Motor and Application

Motor Selection

General recommendations for motor selection:

●

Use three-phase powered asynchronous motors with
short-circuit rotors and surface cooling, also called
asynchronous motors or standard motors for the
frequency-controlled drive system (PDS). Other
specifications such as external rotor motors, slip-ring
motors, reluctance motors, synchronous or servo
motors can also be run with a frequency inverter, but
normally require additional planning and discussion
with the motor manufacturer

●

Use only motors with at least heat class F
(311°F [155°C] maximum steady state temperature)

●

Four-pole motors are preferred (synchronous speed:
1500 min

●

Take the operating conditions into account for S1 operation

–1

at 50 Hz or 1800 min

–1

at 60 Hz)

(IEC 60034-1)

●

When operating multiple motors in parallel on one
frequency inverter, the motor output should not be more
than three power classes apart

●

Ensure that the motor is not overdimensioned. If a motor
in speed control mode is underdimensioned, the motor
rating must only be one rating level lower

Connecting Motors in Parallel

The VSD Series II frequency inverters allow parallel operation
of several motors using multi-pump application control mode:

●

Multi-pump application: several motors with the same or
different rated operational data. The sum of all motor
currents must be less than the frequency inverter’s rated
operational current

●

Multi-pump application: parallel control of several motors.
The sum of the motor currents plus the motors’ inrush
currents must be less than the frequency inverter’s rated
operational current

Parallel operation at different motor speeds can be
implemented only by changing the number of pole pairs and/
or changing the motor’s transmission ratio.

CAUTION

Debounced inputs may not be used in the safety circuit
diagram.

If you are connecting multiple motors on one frequency
inverter, you must design the contactors for the individual
motors according to utilization category AC-3.

Selecting the motor contactor is done according to the rated
operational current of the motor to be connected.

Connecting motors in parallel reduces the load resistance at
the frequency inverter output. The total stator inductance is
lower and the leakage capacity of the lines greater. As a
result, the current distortion is greater than in a single-motor
circuit. To reduce the current distortion, you should use
motor reactors (see [1] in figure above) in the output of the
frequency inverter.

The current consumption of all motors connected in parallel
must not exceed the frequency inverter’s rated output
current I2N.

Electronic motor protection cannot be used when operating
the frequency inverter with several parallel connected
motors. You must, however, protect each motor with
thermistors and/or overload relays.

The use of a motor protective circuit breaker at the frequency
inverter’s output can lead to nuisance tripping.

Bypass Operation

If you want to have the option of operating the motor with
the frequency inverter or directly from the input supply, the
input branches must be interlocked mechanically.

CAUTION

Debounced inputs may not be used in the safety circuit

A changeover between the frequency inverter and the input
supply must take place in a voltage-free state.

System Overview

When connecting multiple motors in parallel to the output of
a frequency inverter, the motor currents are added
geometrically—separated by effective and idle current
components. When you select a frequency inverter, make
sure that it can supply the total resulting current. If
necessary, for dampening and compensating the deviating
current values, motor reactors or sinusoidal filters must be
connected between the frequency inverter and the motor.

The parallel connection of multiple motors in the output of
the frequency inverter is only permitted with V/Hz­characteristic curve control.

If you connect a motor to an operational frequency inverter,
the motor draws a multiple of its rated operational current.
When you select a frequency inverter, make sure that the
starting current plus the sum of the currents of the running
motors will not exceed the rated output current of the
frequency inverter.

Switching in the output of the frequency inverter is only
permitted with V/Hz-characteristic curve control.

VSD Series II LIT-12011772—October 2012 www.johnsoncontrols.com 11

System Overview

Proper Use

The VSD Series II frequency inverters are not domestic
appliances. They are designed only for use as HVAC or
pumping system components.

The VSD Series II frequency inverters are electrical apparatus
for controlling variable speed drives with three-phase motors.
They are designed for installation in machines or for use in
combination with other components within a machine or
system.

After installation in a machine, the frequency inverters must
not be taken into operation until the associated machine has
been confirmed to comply with the safety requirements of
Machinery Safety Directive (MSD) 89/392/EEC (meets the
requirements of EN 60204). The user of the equipment is
responsible for ensuring that the machine use complies with
the relevant EU Directives.

The CE markings on the VSD Series II frequency inverter
confirm that, when used in a typical drive configuration, the
apparatus complies with the European Low Voltage Directive
(LVD) and the EMC Directives (Directive 73/23/EEC, as
amended by 93/68/EEC and Directive 89/336/EEC, as
amended by 93/68/EEC).

In the described system configurations, VSD Series II
frequency inverters are suitable for use in public and
non-public networks.

A connection to IT networks (networks without reference to
earth potential) is permissible only to a limited extent,
because the device’s built-in filter capacitors connect the
network with the earth potential (enclosure). On earth free
networks, this can lead to dangerous situations or damage to
the device (isolation monitoring required).

To the output of the frequency inverter (terminals U, V, W)
you must not:

●

connect a voltage or capacitive loads (for example, phase
compensation capacitors)

●

connect multiple frequency inverters in parallel

●

make a direct connection to the input (bypass)

Maintenance and Inspection

VSD Series II frequency inverters are maintenance free.
However, external influences may affect the function and the
lifespan of the VSD Series II frequency inverter. We
therefore recommend that the devices are checked regularly
and the following maintenance measures are carried out at
the specified intervals.

There are no plans for replacing or repairing individual
components of VSD Series II frequency inverters.

If the VSD Series II frequency inverter is damaged by
external influences, repair is not possible. Dispose of the
device in accordance with the respectively applicable
environmental laws and provisions for the disposal of
electrical or electronic devices.

Maintenance Measures and Intervals

Maintenance Measure Maintenance Interval

Clean cooling vents (cooling slits) If required
Check the fan function 6–24 months (depending on the

Filter in the switching cabinet doors
(see manufacturer specifications)

environment)

Observe the technical data and connection requirements. For
additional information, refer to the equipment nameplate or
label at the frequency inverter, and the documentation.

Any other usage constitutes improper use.

12 VSD Series II LIT-12011772—October 2012 www.johnsoncontrols.com

System Overview

Storage

If the frequency inverter is stored before use, suitable
ambient conditions must be ensured at the site of storage:

●

Storage temperature: –40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C)

●

Relative average air humidity: <95%, non condensing
(EN 50178)

●

To prevent damage to the DC link capacitors, storage
times longer than 12 months are not recommended

Service and Warranty

In the unlikely event that you have a problem with your VSD
Series II frequency inverter, please contact your local sales
office.

When you call, have the following information ready:

●

the exact frequency inverter part no. (see nameplate)

Installation Requirements

EMC Installation

The responsibility to comply with the legally stipulated limit
values and thus the provision of electromagnetic
compatibility is the responsibility of the end user or system
operator. This operator must also take measures to minimize
or remove emissions in the environment concerned (see
figure on Page 5). He must also use means to increase the
interference immunity of the system devices.

In a drive system (PDS) with frequency inverters, you should
take measures for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) while
doing your planning, because changes or improvements to
the installation site, which are required in the installation or
while mounting, are normally associated with additional
higher costs.

The technology and system of a frequency inverter cause the
flow of high frequency leakage current during operation. All
grounding measures must therefore be implemented with
low impedance connections over a large surface area.

With leakage currents greater than 3.5 mA, in accordance
with VDE 0160 or EN 60335, either

●

the protective conductor must have a cross-section

●

the protective conductor must be open-circuit monitored,
or

●

the second protective conductor must be fitted

For an EMC-compliant installation, we recommend the
following measures:

●

Installation of the frequency inverter in a metallic,
electrically conducting enclosure with a good connection
to earth

●

Shielded motor cables (short cable lengths)

Ground all conductive components and housings in a drive
system using as short a line as possible with the greatest
possible cross-section (Cu-braid).

EMC Measures in the Control Panel

For EMC-compatible installation, connect all metallic parts of
the device and the switching cabinet together over broad
surfaces and so that high-frequencies will be conducted.
Mounting plates and cabinet doors should make good
contact and be connected with short HF-braided cables.
Avoid using painted surfaces (anodized, chromized). An
overview of all EMC measures is provided in the figure on
Page 31.

10 mm

2

Install the frequency inverter as directly as possible (without
spacers) on a metal plate (mounting plate).

Route input and motor cables in the switch cabinet as close
to the ground potential as possible. This is because free
moving cables act as antennas.

When laying HF cables (for example, shielded motor cables)
or suppressed cables (for example, input supply cables,
control circuit and signal cables) in parallel, a minimum
clearance of 11.81 in (300 mm) should be ensured in order to
prevent the radiation of electromagnetic energy. Separate
cable routing should also be ensured when large voltage
potential differences are involved. Any necessary crossed
cabling between the control signal and power cables should
always be implemented at right angles (90 degrees).

Never lay control or signal cables in the same duct as power
cables. Analog signal cables (measured, reference and
correction values) must be shielded.

Earthing

The ground connection (PE) in the cabinet should be
connected from the input supply to a central earth point
(mounting plate). All protective conductors should be routed
in star formation from this earth point and all conductive
components of the PDS (frequency inverter, motor reactor,
motor filter, main choke) are to be connected.

Avoid ground loops when installing multiple frequency
inverters in one cabinet. Make sure that all metallic devices
that are to be grounded have a broad area connection with
the mounting plate.

Screen Earth Kit

Cables that are not shielded work like antennas (sending,
receiving). Make sure that any cables that may carry
disruptive signals (for example, motor cables) and sensitive
cables (analog signal and measurement values) are shielded
apart from one another with EMC-compatible connections.

The effectiveness of the cable shield depends on a good
shield connection and a low shield impedance.

Use only shields with tinned or nickel-plated copper braiding.
Braided steel shields are unsuitable.

Control and signal lines (analog, digital) should always be
grounded on one end, in the immediate vicinity of the supply
voltage source (PES).

The ground connection is connected directly with the cable
clamp plates.

The shielded cables between the frequency inverter and the
motor should be as short as possible. Connect the shielding
on both ends and over a large surface area with protective
ground PES (Protective Earth Shielding). You can connect the
shielding of the motor cable directly to the cable clamp plate
(360 degrees coverage) with the protective ground.

The frequency inverter must always be connected to the
ground potential via a grounding cable (PE).
