1. DESCRIPTION

SIMOVERT P transistorised voltage–source inverters operate with high voltages.
Connection, commissioning and fault–finding should only be carried out by qualified personnel who

are fully conversant with the relevant documentation, installation regulations, etc.
Only permanently–wired input power connections are allowed. This equipment must be grounded

(IEC 536 Class 1, NEC and other applicable standards).
Safety Note:

Do not apply input power to the equipment when the plastic cover has been removed. Dangerous
voltages are present within the equipment which could cause serious injury or death if touched. After
removing mains power, always allow a minimum of five minutes for the internal capacitors to
discharge before removing the cover.

When the 3–phase mains input is protected by a current–operated earth–leakage breaker, the input
to the inverter must be isolated from the mains if the earth–leakage breaker is to operate effectively.

The dc–link capacitors remain charged to dangerous voltages for up to five minutes after the incoming
power has been switched off.

When the motor is not running, dangerous voltages are still present on the power input terminals AND
motor output terminals and also on the dc–link terminals.

Under certain set–up conditions, the inverter may restart automatically after an input power failure.

WARNING

1.1 Introduction

SIMOVERT P inverters of the 6SE21 series are designed for low–loss speed control of three–phase motors. This is
achieved by rectifying input voltage to establish a dc link voltage, and modulating this link voltage with a three–phase
transistor bridge to produce a Pulse–Width Modulated (PWM) three–phase output voltage

(see Figure 1)

. The
inductance of the motor windings converts this PWM voltage to a sinusoidal motor current. By varying the frequency of
this sinusoidal current, the rotational speed of the motor is controlled without significantly affecting the losses in the
motor. The output frequency can be adjusted between 0 and 400 Hz.

1.2 Control Facilities

The inverter can be started/stopped by any of the following means

(see parameter P05 in section 5.3.2 and also Figure

3)

:
(1) Connection of a latching switch to the run/stop input (terminals X11.2/3).

(2) Applying a rising edge (i.e. momentary push–button) to the Run/Stop input (terminals X11.2/3) and a falling

edge to the trip input terminal X11.2/4.

(3) Connection of a voltage level of 7 – 33 V to the Run/Stop input (terminals X11.3/1).

(4) Automatic starting on application of input power (shorting link terminals X11.2/3).

(5) Connection of a voltage level of 7 – 33 V to the jog input (terminal X11.13/1).

(6) Control via the serial I/O connections.

The output frequency of the inverter, and hence the speed of the motor , can be controlled by any of the following means

(see 5.3.2, parameter P04 and also Figure 3)

:
(1) Connection of 0–10 V control voltage (terminals X11.7/8).
(2) Connection of a 0–20 mA current loop control input (terminals X11.9/10).
(3) Connection of a 4–20 mA current loop control input (terminals X11.9/10).
(4) Connection of a 5 kΩ control potentiometer (terminals X11.6/7/8).
(5) By digital parameterisation via the push–buttons fitted to the inverter, or via equivalent external push–buttons

connected to terminals X11.17 and X11.18.

(6) Via the serial I/O connection.

1.3 Monitoring Facilities

The following monitoring facilities are available:
(1) Seven–segment display for output frequency, output current, fault indication or parameterisation. This is

viewed through a window in the cover.
(2) A 0–10 V analogue signal, proportional to output frequency or output current.
(3) A changeover relay, normally energised when the drive is connected to a suitable input supply . The relay is

de–energised when a fault is indicated

(see section 5.5)

.

(4) The drive may be interrogated via the serial I/O connection.

1.4 Motor Characteristics

The inverter can be adjusted to suit individual motor characteristics in the ways described in 1.4.1 and 1.4.2.

1.4.1 Voltage/Frequency Characteristic

Six voltage/frequency characteristic curves are available plus one programmable curve

(see Figure 2)

. They are

intended for the following applications:
Curve 0: V

N/50 Hz (constant torque)

For standard 50 Hz induction motors with linear speed/torque characteristics.

Curve 1: V

N/60 Hz (constant torque)

For standard 60 Hz induction motors with linear speed/torque characteristics.

Curve 2: V

N/87 Hz (constant torque)

For delta–connection of standard induction motors designed for star–connection of 50 Hz input voltage.
This increases the speed range over which constant motor torque can be achieved.

Curve 3: V

N/120 Hz (constant torque)

For applications where a constant torque is required over the full operating speed range 0.1 to 120 Hz.

Curve 4*: V

N/50 Hz (torque proportional to speed

1.5

)

For operation of 50 Hz motors driving loads where torque is proportional to (speed)

1.5

. Typical examples

of such loads are fans and pumps.

Curve 5*: V

N/60 Hz (torque proportional to speed

1.5

)

For operation of 60 Hz motors driving loads where torque is proportional to (speed)

1.5

.

Curve 6*: Programmable

(not shown in Figure 2)

The curve type and corner frequency may be selected by the user.

* Curves 4 and 5 allow variable torque output current values (see section 2.1) to be loaded into parameter P17. Curve

6 may allow variable torque output currents depending on the user–defined curve specified.

1.4.2 Low Frequency Voltage Boost (Ku)

The output voltage can be boosted in 0.1% steps up to 30% for low frequencies from 0 Hz. This may be required to give
additional starting torque in some applications. The amount of voltage boost decreases linearly until 100% voltage is
achieved.

If required, automatic boost may be used

(see section 5.3.2, Parameter P19)

. This measures the motor characteristics

and selects a suitable boost voltage at first switch–on.

1.4.3 Current Limit

The maximum output current available from the inverter can be adjusted to provide thermal protection of the motor
and/or limit the maximum motor torque

(see section 5.3.2, parameters P17 and P18)

.

1.5 Options

The following options are available for use with 6SE21 inverters:

Sinewave Filter Module Part No. 6SE2100–1FC51/53/55

2.2 Cable Lengths

The inverters will operate satisfactorily with unscreened cables of up to 150 m in length and screened or armoured
cable of up to 50 m in length. For applications where longer cables are required, inductors must be fitted to reduce
capacitive currents.

Note

If long cables are used, it may be necessary to change the value of parameter P52 to compensate for any
inaccuracies in the output current reading.

The following chokes are suitable for applications where up to 100/200 m screened/unscreened cables are required:

3. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

High voltages are generated within this equipment. It must only be installed and operated by qualified
personnel who are familiar with the equipment, its operating requirements and instructions.

The User is responsible for installation of the motor, drive controller, transformer and other devices
in accordance with regulations and local safety codes which may apply .

Adequate protective clothing (e.g. safety gloves, goggles, etc.) should be worn by the person
installing this equipment.

Failure to observe the appropriate warnings and regulations may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

The inverter must be installed in a vertical position and fixed to a solid surface via its four mounting holes. It is suitable
for wall–mounting or installation within a cubicle.

All inverter variants are air–cooled. Ensure that a free space of at least 100 mm (4 in.) is left both above
and below the unit to allow an unimpeded air flow.

Avoid subjecting the inverter to excessive shock and vibration.

CAUTION

Installation drawings for the inverters are shown on the next page.
