General Information for Integral Horsepower (IHP) Motors on Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

A VFD is a type of controller used to vary the speed of an electric motor.

The VFD takes a xed AC voltage and frequency and allows it to be

adjusted in order to get different speeds from the motor. Motor speed

• VFD dv/dt - winding end turn differential in voltage versus differential in time

• High temperatures or high humidity

• Grouding system

can be varied by changing the frequency of the input power waveform. The equation below shows how the frequency affects the speed of a three phase induction motor.

Wider speed ranges, higher voltages, higher switching frequencies,

insufcient grounding and increased cable lengths all add to the severity

of the application and, therefore, the potential for premature motor failure.

120* Fundamental Input Frequency

How does a VFD affect the motor?

There are many things to consider when a motor is powered using a

How does a VFD work?

A VFD takes the xed frequency and voltage sine wave from the power

grid or power station and puts it through a few steps in order to allow the VFD user to vary the frequency and in turn control the motor speed.

First it recties the AC power into DC Power. Because of this step, a

term commonly used instead of VFD is inverter. This only describes one

step of what the VFD does to the power waveform. Once rectied into

a DC voltage the drive sends the power through a set of transistors or switches. These switches can take the DC waveform and by opening and closing at certain speeds and durations can create an output waveform that mimics the sine wave that is required to drive a three

VFD or PWM power. When a motor is powered by a PWM waveform the motor windings very often see a large differential voltage, either from phase to phase or turn to turn. When the voltage differential becomes large enough it creates a reaction at the molecular level that converts available oxygen into O3. This phenomenon is called partial discharge or corona. This reaction creates energy in the form of light and heat. This energy has a corrosive effect on the varnish used to protect the motor windings. PWM waveforms can also magnify shaft voltages which lead to arcing across the bearing and causing premature bearing failure. Corrective action must be taken to mitigate these issues that arise when using an electric motor with a VFD.

phase electric motor. The output wave form is known as a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) waveform because the waveform is created by multiple pulses of the switches at short intervals.

PULSE WIDTH MODULATION WAVEFORM

How do I protect the motor?

Nidec Motor Corporation (NMC) has developed specic motor designs

to decrease the harmful affects that a VFD can have on a motor. NMC’s INVERTER GRADE

insulation system is the rst line of

defense against corona and phase to phase faults that can be common when a motor is powered using a PWM waveform. The INVERTER

insulation system is standard on all of NMC’s Inverter Duty

GRADE products. Along with the INVERTER GRADE

insulation, thermostats are installed as a minimum protection against over heating the motor. Special consideration must also be given to bearings in motors powered by VFD’s. In order to create a low resistance path to ground for built up shaft voltages a shaft grounding device can be used. On larger horsepower motors an insulated bearing system should be used in

conjunction with the shaft grounding device when installed, to force the stray shaft voltages to ground. The bearing failures are more prominent on motors with thrust handling bearings. NMC has created an Inverter Duty vertical motor line that not only uses the INVERTER GRADE

insulation system, but that also comes standard with a shaft grounding device. On motors that are 100 HP and greater the thrust bearing is also

What variables should be considered when deciding whether to power a motor with a VFD?

VFD compatibility with motors is complex. As a result, many variables must be considered when determining the suitability of a particular motor for use with a VFD. These variables include:

• Torque requirements (Constant or Variable)

• Speed Range

• Line / System Voltage

• Cable length between the VFD and the motor

• Drive switching (carrier) frequency

• Motor construction

insulated for additional protection.

What does "Inverter Duty" mean?

An Inverter Duty motor should describe a motor that helps mitigate potential failure modes of a motor that is powered by a VFD. Inverter duty motor windings should be able to withstand the voltage spikes per NEMA MG1 Part 31.4.4.2 and protect against overheating when the motor is run at slow speeds. On thrust handling bearings it is apparent that the bearings require additional protection. Inverter Duty vertical motors should have a shaft grounding device to protect the motor

bearings from uting due to voltage discharge through the bearing. On

larger motors (100HP and larger) the shaft should also be electrically isolated from the frame in order to aid the shaft grounding ring in discharging the shaft voltages to ground.

Motor / Inverter Compatibility

Thermal Overloads and Single Phase Motors

Motors with thermal overloads installed may not operate properly on a VFD. The current carrying thermal overload is designed for sine wave power. Operation on a VFD may cause nuisance tripping or potentially not protect the motor as would be expected on line power. Thermostats or thermistors installed in the motor and connected properly to the VFD may provide suitable thermal overload protection when operating on a VFD. (consult codes for installation requirements)

Single phase motors and other fractional horsepower ratings are not designed to be operated on a VFD. Within Nidec Motor Corporation standard products, all motors NEMA 48 frame (5.5” diameter) and smaller are not suitable for VFD applications. Three phase 56 and 143/145 frame applications should be noted on the catalog price page; or if in doubt ask a Nidec Motor Corporation technical representative for recommendations on compatibility with a VFD.

Slow Speed Motors

Motors with a base design of slower than six poles require special consideration regarding VFD sizing and minimizing harmonic distortion created at the motor terminals due to

cable installation characteristics. Additional external PWM waveform lters and shielded

motor cables designed for PWM power may be required to provide acceptable motor life. Harmonic distortion on the output waveform should be kept to a minimum level (less than 10%) mismatch impedance.

690V Applications

Motors that are rated for 690VAC and that will be powered by 690VAC PWM VFDs require

the use of an external lter to limit peak voltage spikes and the use of an INVERTER

motor. Where available, an alternative to using an output lter is to upgrade to a

GRADE

2300V insulation system.

Low Voltage TITAN® Motors

When using 449 frame and larger motors on PWM type VFDs consider the use of an

external lter and shielded motor cables designed for PWM power to minimize harmonic

distortion and peak voltages at the motor terminals. Harmonic distortion on the output waveform should be kept to a minimum level (less than 10%).

Bearing Currents Related to PWM Waveforms

Protection of the motor bearings from shaft currents caused by common mode voltages

is becoming a standard feature on Inverter Duty motor products. Some installations may

be prone to a voltage discharge condition through the motor bearings called Electrical

Discharge Machining (EDM) or uting. Vertical HOLLOSHAFT and HOSTILE DUTY World

Guideline For Insulated Anti-Friction Bearings

Bearing insulation is required to prevent circulating shaft currents which can damage bearings. Circulating shaft current can be caused by use of improper power and/or ground cables, improper grounding systems and higher switching frequencies. Finding and correcting the external condition(s) is the responsibility of the system designer or specifying engineer. To prevent circulating shaft current in motors with anti-friction bearings, Nidec Motor Corporation’s standard practice is to insulate the non-drive end bearing.

Adjustable Speed Drives produce a common mode voltage condition. To interrupt common mode voltage on induction motors of all sizes, NEMA MG1-2018 Part 31 recommends

insulating both bearings. In cases where both anti-friction bearings are insulated, the

system designer or specifying engineer should determine whether to apply one or more

of the following options to prevent or reduce shaft currents: sinewave lters, line reactors

or mechanical devices, such as shaft grounding or an insulated half coupling. Motors with shaft grounding devices are not suitable for installation in hazardous locations unless housed in an enclosure suitable for the specied Division (or Zone), Class and Group(s).

Multiple Motors on a Single VFD

Special considerations are required when multiple motors are powered from a single VFD unit. Most VFD manufacturers can provide guidelines for proper motor thermal considerations and starting/stopping of motors. Cable runs from the VFD and each motor can create conditions that will cause extra stress on the motor winding. Filters may be required at the motor to provide maximum motor life.

Grounding and Cable Installation Guidelines

®†

Proper output winding and grounding practices can be instrumental in minimizing motor related failures caused by PWM waveform characteristics and installation factors. VFD manufacturers typically provide detailed guidelines on the proper grounding of the motor to the VFD and output cable routing. Cabling manufacturers provide recommended cable types for PWM installations and critical information concerning output wiring impedance and capacitance to ground.

Integrated Motor and Inverter

By integrating the motor and inverter at NMC’s manufacturing facility, many of the motor compatibility problems are minimized or eliminated. During the manufacturing process, the motor is matched to the inverter characteristics which ensures the winding temperature

and torque levels meet the design specication. Since the inverter output wiring to the

motor is nearly eliminated, bearing currents are rarely experienced. When the unit is properly grounded, reducing the output cable lengths in conjunction with an inverter grade insulation system and low factory setting of the switching frequency of the inverter drive, results in low risk of voltage peaks produced by the PWM waveform.

Vertical Motors on VFDs

Vertical motors operated on VFD power present unique conditions that may require consideration by the user or installation engineer:

• Locked rotor and drive tripping caused by non-reversing-ratchet operation at low motor speeds. It is not recommended to operate motors at less than 1/4 of synchronous speed. If slow speeds are required contact NMC engineering.

• Unexpected / unacceptable system vibration and or noise levels caused by the

torque pulsation characteristics of the PWM waveform, a system critical frequency falling inside the variable speed range of the process or the added harmonic content of the PWM waveform exciting a system component

• Application related problems related to the controlled acceleration/deceleration and torque of the motor on VFD power and the building of system pressure/ load.

• The impact the reduction of pump speed has on the down thrust reected to the

pump motor and any minimum thrust requirements of the motor bearings

• Water hammer during shutdown damaging the non-reversing ratchet

Humidity and Non-operational Conditions

The possible build-up of condensation inside the motor due to storage in an uncontrolled environment or non-operational periods in an installation, can lead to an increased rate of premature winding or bearing failures when combined with the stresses associated with PWM waveform characteristics. Moisture and condensation in and on the motor winding over time can provide tracking paths to ground, lower the resistance of the motor winding

to ground, and lower the Corona Inception Voltage (CIV) level of the winding.

Proper storage and maintenance guidelines are important to minimize the potential of premature failures. Space heaters or trickle voltage heating methods are the common methods for drying out a winding that has low resistance readings. Damage caused by

these factors are not covered by the limited warranty provided for the motor unless appropriate heating methods are properly utilized during non-operational periods and prior to motor start-up.
