1. OVERVIEW
The MICROMASTERS are a range of frequency inverters for controlling the speed of three phase AC motors.
Various models are available, ranging from the compact 120 W single phase input MICROMASTER up to the 7.5
kW three phase input MICROMASTER.
The inverters are microprocessor-controlled and use state of the art IGBT technology for reliability and
flexibility. A special pulse-width modulation method with selectable ultrasonic pulse frequency permits
extremely quiet motor operation. Inverter and motor protection is provided by comprehensive protective
functions.
Features:
• Easy to install, program and commission.
• Closed loop control using a Proportional, Integral (PI) control loop function.
• High starting torque with automatic starting boost.
• Remote control capability via RS485 serial link using the USS protocol with the ability to control up to 31
inverters.
• A comprehensive range of parameters is provided to enable the inverters to be configured for use in
almost any application.
• Membrane-type front panel controls for simple operation.
• Built-in non-volatile memory for storing parameter settings.
• Factory default parameter settings pre-programmed for European and North American requirements.
• Output frequency (and hence motor speed) can be controlled by one of five methods:
(1) Frequency setpoint using the keypad.
(2) High resolution analogue setpoint (voltage input).
(3) External potentiometer to control motor speed.
(4) Fixed frequencies via binary inputs.
(5) Serial interface.
• Built-in DC injection brake with special COMPOUND BRAKING.
• Integral RFI filter on single phase input inverters (MM12 - MM300).
• Acceleration/deceleration times with programmable smoothing.
• Fully programmable single relay output incorporated.
• External Options connector for optional multi-language Clear Text Display (OPM2) or optional PROFIBUS
module.
• Automatic recognition of 2, 4, 6 or 8-pole motors by software.
• Integral software-controlled cooling fan.
• Fast Current Limit (FCL) for reliable trip-free operation.
• Compact design and the ability to mount inverters side by side provides greater space saving.
2.1 Wiring Guidelines to Minimi se the Effects of EMI
The inverters are designed to operate in an industrial environment where a high level of Electro-Magnetic
Interference (EMI) can be expected. Usually, good installation practices will ensure safe and trouble-free
operation. However, if problems are encountered, the following guidelines may prove useful. In particular,
grounding of the system 0V at the inverter, as described below, may prove effective. Figure 1 illustr ates how
an RFI suppression filter should be installed.
(1)Ensure that all equipment in the cubicle is well earthed using short, thick earthing cable connected to
a common star point or busbar. It is particularly important that any control equipment that is
connected to the inverter (such as a PLC) is connected to the same earth or star point as the inverter
via a short, thick link. Flat conductors (e.g. braids or metal brackets) are preferred as they have lower
impedance at high frequencies.
The return earth from motors controlled by the inverters should be connected directly to the earth
connection (PE) on the associated inverter.
(2)Wherever possible, use screened leads for connections to the control circuitry. Terminate the ends of
the cable neatly, ensuring that unscreened wires are as short as possible. Use cable glands
whenever possible.
(3)Separate the control cables from the power connections as much as possible, using separate
trunking, etc. If control and power cables cross, arrange the cables so that they cross at 90° if
possible.
(4)Ensure that contactors in the cubicle are suppressed, either with R-C suppressors for AC contactors
or ‘flywheel’ diodes for DC contactors, fitted to the coils. Varistor suppressors are also effective.
This is particularly important if the contactors are controlled from the relay on the inverter.
(5)Use screened or armoured cables for the motor connections and ground the screen at both ends via
the cable glands.
(6)If the drive is to be operated in an Electro-magnetic noise-sensitive environment, the RFI footprint
filter kit should be used to reduce the conducted and radiated interference from the inverter. For
optimum performance, there should be a good conductive bond between filter and metal mounting
plate.
On no account must safety r egulations be compromised when installing inverters!

When attempting to meet specific EMC limits by using a filter,
the following points must be observed:
(1) All cables to and from the inverter (including control
cables) must be screened using suitable glands.
(2)The control cable must be kept separate from the motor
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.
To guarantee the safe operation of the equipment it must be installed and commissioned properly
by qualified personnel in compliance with the warni ngs laid dow n in these operati ng instructions.
Take particular note of the general and regional installation and safety regulations regarding wor
on dangerous voltage installations (e.g. VDE), as well as the relevant regulations regarding the
correct use of tools and personal protective gear.
The mains input and motor terminals can carry dangerous voltages even if the inverter is
inoperative. Use insulated screwdrivers only on these terminal blocks.

Take care to site the inverter away from potential
water hazards. e.g. Do not install the inverter
beneath pipes that are subject to condensation.
Ensure that the inverter’s air vents are not
obstructed.
Make sure that there is an adequate air-flow
through the cabinet, as follows:
1. Using the formula below, calculate the airflow
required.
Air-flow (m3 / hr) = (Dissipated Watts / ∆T) x 3.1
2. Install cabinet cooling fan(s) if necessary,
Note:
Typical dissipation (Watts) = 3% of inverter
rating.
∆T = Allowable temperature rise within cabinet
The electrical connectors on the MICROMASTER are shown in Figure 3. Connect the cables to the power
and control terminal blocks in accordance with the information supplied in sections 2.3.1 - 2.3.4. Ensure that
the leads are connected correctly and the equipment is properly earthed as shown in Figure 3.
CAUTION
The control, power supply and motor leads must be laid separately. They must not be fed
through the same cable conduit/trunking.
Use screened cable for the control lead. Use Class 1 60/75oC copper wire only (for UL compliance).
Tightening torque for the power (mains input and motor) terminals is 1.1 Nm.
To tighten up the power/motor terminal screws use a 4 - 5 mm cross-tip screwdriver.

When operated below rated speed, the cooling effect of fans fitted to the motor shaft is reduced.
Consequentially, most motors require de-rating for continuous operation at low frequencies. To ensure that
motors are protected against overheating under these conditions, a PTC temperature sensor must be fitted to
the motor and connected to the inverter control terminals as shown in Figure 7.
