1.1Warnings
Do not touch the components of the power unit, LCL filter or pre-charging circuit when
the drive is connected to Mains, or the DC-link when DC-link is powered. The components are live when the drive is connected to mains or the DC-link is powered. A contact with this voltage is very dangerous.
Do not touch the line-in terminals U, V, W or the DC terminals when the drive is connected to mains or DC-link when DC-link is powered. These terminals are live when
the drive is connected to mains or DC-link when DC-link is powered, also when the
system does not operate.
Do not touch the control terminals. They can have a dangerous voltage also when the
drive is disconnected from mains or DC-link when DC- link is powered.
Before you do electrical work on the drive, disconnect the drive from the mains and
make sure that the system has stopped. Lock out and tag out the power sources to the
drive. Make sure that no external source generates unintended voltage during work.
Note that also the load side of the drive can generate voltage.
Wait 5 minutes before you open the cabinet door or the cover of the AC drive. Use a
measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage. The terminal connections and
the components of the drive can be live 5 minutes after it is disconnected from the
mains and the system has stopped.
Before you connect the drive to mains, make sure that the front cover and the cable
cover of the drive are closed. The connections of the AC drive are live when the drive is
connected to mains.
When there is a power-up, a power break or a fault reset, the system starts immediately if the start signal is active, unless the pulse control for Start/Stop logic is
selected. If the parameters, the applications or the software change, the I/O functions
(including the start inputs) can change.
Wear protective gloves when you do mounting, cabling or maintenance operations.
There can be sharp edges in the AC drive that can cause cuts.
1.2Cautions
Do not move the AC drive, LCL filter or the optional components. Use a fixed installation to prevent damage to the drive.
Do not make measurements when the AC drive is connected to mains. It can cause
damage to the drive.
Make sure that there is reinforced protective ground connection. It is mandatory,
because the touch current of the AC drives is more than 3.5 mA AC (refer to EN
61800-5-1). See Chapter 1.3 "Grounding and earth fault protection".

After having disconnected the Active Front End from the AC supply, wait until the fan
stops and the indicators on the keypad go out (if no keypad is attached see the indicator through the keypad base). Wait 5 more minutes before doing any work on Active
Front End connections. Do not even open the cover before this time has expired.
Do not use spare parts that are not from the manufacturer. Using other spare parts
can cause damage to the drive.
Do not touch the components on the circuit boards. Static voltage can cause damage
to these components.
Prevent radio interference. The AC drive can cause radio interference in a domestic
environment.
NOTE!
NOTE!
If you activate the autoreset function, the system starts automatically after an automatic fault reset. See the VACON
®
NX AFE Application Manual.
If you use the AC drive as a part of a machine, the machine manufacturer must supply a mains disconnection device (refer to EN 60204-1).
1.3Grounding and earth fault protection
The AC drive must always be grounded with a grounding conductor that is connected
to the grounding terminal that is identified with the symbol .
Not using a grounding conductor can cause damage to the drive.
The touch current of the drive is more than 3.5 mA AC. The standard EN 61800-5-1 tells that 1 or
more of these conditions for the protective circuit must be true.
The connection must be fixed.
a) The protective grounding conductor must have a cross-sectional area of minimum 10 mm
16 mm

if there is not mechanical protection. If you have cord-connected equipment, make
NOTE!
Because there are high capacitive currents in the AC drive, it is possible that the
fault current protective switches do not operate correctly.
Do not do voltage withstand tests on the AC drive. The manufacturer has already
done the tests. Doing voltage withstand tests can cause damage to the drive.
1.4Electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC)
The drive must obey the standard IEC 61000-3-12. To obey it, the short-circuit power SSC must be a
minimum of 120 R
that you connect the drive and the motor to mains with a short-circuit power S
of 120 R

3.4Storage
If VACON® NX Active Front End is to be stored before use, make sure that the ambient conditions
are acceptable:
Storage temperature–40…+70 °C (-40...+158°F)
Relative humidity0 to 95%, no condensation
If you must keep the VACON
power to the VACON
We do not recommend a long storage time. If the storage time is more than 12 months, you must
charge the electrolytic DC capacitors with caution. To reform the capacitors, obey the instructions
in Chapter 3.4.1 Capacitor reforming.
3.4.1Capacitor reforming
After a long storage time, it is necessary to reform the capacitors to prevent damage to the
capacitors. To make sure that the possible high leakage current through the capacitors stays in
minimum, use a DC-power supply with an adjustable current limit.
1. Set the current limit to 300-800mA to agree with the size of the drive.
2. Connect the DC-power supply to the B+/Bterminals (DC+ to B+, DC- to B-) of the DC-link or
directly to the capacitor terminals.
3. Set the DC-voltage to the nominal DC-voltage level of the Active Front End (1.35*Un AC) and
keep the power on for 1 hour, at minimum. If the Active Front End was in store for much longer
than 12 months and the capacitors were not charged, speak to the factory to get instructions
before you connect the power.

3.5Maintenance
All technical devices, drives as well, need a certain amount of care-taking and failure preventive
maintenance. To maintain trouble-free operation of the VACON
environmental conditions, as well as load, line power, process control, etc. have to be within
specifications, determined by manufacturer.
If all conditions are in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, there are no other
concerns, but to provide a cooling capacity high enough for the power- and control circuits. This
requirement can be met by making sure, that the cooling system works properly. Operation of
cooling fans and cleanness of the heat sink should be verified regularly.
Regular maintenance is recommended to ensure trouble free operation and long lifetime of

4.7.2LCL wiring diagram
The LCL filter contains a choke on the mains side, capacitors and a choke on the AFE side, Figure 14.
The LCL also includes capacitors connected against ground potential. There are resistors connected
across the capacitors for discharging them when the LCL filter is disconnected from the input
power. The discharging resistors are 10 MΩ, 500 V and 0.5 W.

monitoring device might indicate a very low leakage resistance. The resistors must be connected so
that the capacitors are discharged when disconnecting from the input power. The wiring diagram of
an alternative discharging circuit can be seen in Figure 16. Figure 15 shows the default wiring of the
LCL filter. The discharging resistors should be 10 kΩ, 500 V and 2 W. Failure to ensure the
discharging of capacitors results in a risk of electric shock! Without the discharge resistors, the
capacitors take a very long time to discharge.
Figure 17 (for FI9 and FI10) and Figure 18 (for FI13) have a blue marking on the lead that has to be
removed from each capacitor if the discharge resistor is not to be used.
Warning! If you do not allow a total discharge of the system before starting the modification, it is
likely that you will get an electric shock in spite of the fact the system is disconnected from the
power supply.

If a PWM modulated rectifier from another manufacturer is connected to the same input

4.11.1Introduction
AC fuses are used to protect the input network in case the Active Front End unit or the LCL filter is
faulty. DC fuses are used to protect the Active Front End unit and the LCL filter in case there is a
short circuit in the DC buses. If DC fuses are not used, short-circuit in the DC buses will cause a
loading of the Active Front End unit. Vacon Ltd will not assume any responsibility for damages
caused by insufficient protection.

therefore, fuses are always recommended to be used. A circuit-breaker can be used without a main
contactor. In this case, the Active Front End unit controls the circuit-breaker instead of the
contactor. The circuit-breakers shown are suitable for equipment rated at 380 V–500 V or 525 V–690

vacon • 46Active Front End (AFE)
4.14Pre-Charging circuit
The Active Front End unit requires an external pre-charging circuit. The purpose of the pre-charging
unit is to charge the voltage in the intermediate circuit to a level sufficient for connecting the Active
Front End unit to the mains. The charging time depends on the capacitance of the intermediate
circuit and the resistance of the charging resistors. The technical specifications of our standard precharging circuits are shown in Table 26. Pre-charging circuits are suitable for 380-500 Vac and 525690 Vac.
The Active Front End unit must not be connected to mains without pre-charging. In order to ensure
the correct operation of the pre-charging circuit, the input circuit-breaker or contactor, as well as
the pre-charging circuit contactor, must be controlled by the Active Front End unit. The input circuitbreaker or contactor as well as the pre-charging circuit contactor must be connected as shown in
Appendix 74.

FI102x20R9900 µF70000 µF
FI132x11R29700 µF128000 µF
If the capacitance of the intermediate circuit in the system exceeds the values shown, contact your
nearest distributor.
The example shown in Appendix 74 uses a spring-return switch. The switch has positions 0-1START. The spring returns the switch from position START to position 1. To start the pre-charging,
the switch is turned from position 0 via 1 to START. When pre-charging starts, the switch can be
released and it returns to position 1. No other control measures are required. The Active Front End
application controls the main contactor of the system with Relay Output RO2, see Appendix 76. When
pre-charging of the intermediate circuit is ready the main contactor will be closed. The status of the
main contactor is monitored via digital input (Default is DIN4). As a default the main contactor
monitoring is ON but it can be set OFF with parameter. The main contactor should not be possible
close without pre-charging.
To open the main contactor, simply turn the switch to 0. The contactor should not be opened under
load. Opening the contactor under load will shorten its service life.

NOTE! Wirings that are used for connecting the pre-charging circuit to the intermediate circuit has
to be double-insulated (example: NSGAFÖU 1.8/3kV (IEC), NSHXAFÖ 3kV (IEC Halogen free),
MULTI-STANDARD SC 2.2 (UL)).
NOTE! Enough space must be reserved around the resistors to ensure sufficient cooling. Don’t place
any heat sensitive components near the resistors.

4.15Paralleling
The power of the input group can be increased by connecting several Active Front End units in
parallel. Paralleling refers to Active Front End units connected in the same input transformer. Active
Front End units of different power ratings can also be connected in parallel. No communication between the units is required; they work independently. Our standard LCL filters must be used for
paralleling. If filters other than our standard LCL filters are used in Active Front End units connected
in parallel, too large circulation currents may be generated between the Active Front End units.
Parameter P2.1.4 Parallel AFE must be set to “1/yes” for all parallel AFE units. This parameter will
also set DC Drooping to 4%. The value of DC Drooping can be also modified manually with parameter
P2.2.2.
Each Active Front End unit connected in parallel must have its own short-circuit protection on AC
and DC sides. The fuses are selected in accordance with Section 4.11. When paralleling, attention
must be paid to the sufficient short-circuit capacity of the system.
The derating of Active Front End units connected in parallel is 5% of the DC power; this should be
taken into account when selecting the input unit.
If a device is to be isolated from the AC and DC voltages, and other Active Front End units connected
in parallel are also to be used, separate isolators are required in the AC input and DC output. The
AC input can be isolated using a compact circuit-breaker, an ordinary circuit-breaker or a fuse
switch. Contactors are not suitable for isolating the AC input because they cannot be locked in the
safe position. The DC output can be isolated using a fuse switch. The pre-charging circuit must also
be isolated from the AC input. A load isolation switch or safety isolation switch can be used for this.
The device can also be connected to mains even when the other devices connected in parallel are
already connected and running. In such a case, the isolated deice must first be pre-charged. When
that is done, the AC input can be switched on. After this, the device can be connected to the
interediate DC circuit.
4.15.1Common pre-charging circuit
In case of paralleled Active Front End units, one common pre-charging circuit can be used, see
Figure 19. Standard pre-charging circuits can be used if the capacitance of the intermediate circuit
not exceeds maximum value. For example if three FI10 Active Front End units are connected
parallel, the pre-charging circuit for FI13 Active Front End unit can be used. If all paralleled Active
Front End units have a common circuit breaker, the breaker can be controlled by one of the Active
Front End units. If each paralleled Active Front End unit has its own circuit-breaker, each Active
Front End controls it’s own circuit. The circuit diagram for control, see Appendix 74 and Appendix 76.

Each Active Front End can have its own pre-charging circuit. Each unit controls its own pre-charging

needs to be controlled independently, separate switches are needed. With this the system is more
redundant than with a common pre-charging circuit. The circuit diagram for control, see Appendix
74 and Appendix 76.

4.16Derating
The output power has to be derated if one of following cases:
•Ambient temperature is more than 40 ºC (104 °F).
•Installation altitude is more than 1000 m.
4.16.1Ambient Temperature
The power rating of the Active Front End unit is valid for an ambient temperature of 40 ºC (104 °F).
If the device is to be used in higher ambient temperatures, its power rating must be subjected to
derating. The derating coefficient from 40 °C to 50 °C, use derating factor 1.5 %/1 °C, and from 50
°C to 55 °C, use derating factor 2.5 %/1 °C, for ambient temperatures not exceeding 55 °C (131 °F).
The reduced power is calculated using the formula:

4.16.2High altitude installation
The density of air decreases when the altitude increases and the pressure decreases. When the air
density decreases, the thermal capacity decreases (i.e. less air removes less heat) and the
resistance to electric field (breakdown voltage / distance) decreases.
®
The full thermal performance of VACON
NX AC drives is designed for installation up to 1000 m
altitude and the electric insulation is designed for installations up to 2000 m altitude. Higher
installation locations are possible, when you obey the derating guidelines in this chapter.
NOTE! 690V units maximum installation altitude is 2000m.
Above 1000 m, you must decrease the limited maximum load current by 1% for each 100 m. Thus,
for example, at 2500 m altitude, you must decrease the load current down to 85% of the rated output
current (100% – (2500 m – 1000 m) / 100 m x 1% = 85%).
When you use fuses at high altitudes, the cooling effect of the fuse decreases as the density of the
atmosphere decreases.
When you use fuses above 2000 meters, the continuous rating of the fuse:
I = I
*(1- (h-2000)/100*0.5/100)

5.2.3Arranging ventilation of the enclosure
The enclosure door must be provided with air gaps for air intake. To achieve sufficient cooling inside
the cabinet, the dimensions for the total area of free openings for incoming air given in Table 28 and
Table 30 must be followed. For instance, there could be two screened gaps as presented in Figure 36
(our recommendation). This layout ensures a sufficient air flow to the module fans as well as cooling
of the additional components.
Air outlet gaps must be situated on top of the cabinet. The minimum effective air outlet area per unit
frame is given in Table 28 andTable 30. The cooling arrangements inside the cabinet must be such
that they prevent hot output air from mixing with the incoming fresh air (see Chapter 5.2.4).
The ventilation gaps must fulfill the requirements set by the selected IP class. The examples in this
manual apply to protection class IP21.
During operation, air is sucked in and circulated by a fan blower at the bottom of the power unit. If
the power unit is placed in the upper part of the cabinet, the fan blower will be in the mid of the
cabinet, at the height of the upper ventilation grid. In case of LCL filter air inlet 1.1 in Figure 36
cannot be used.

5.2.4Steering air flow
Cooling air must be taken in through the ventilation gaps on the door and blown out at the top of the
enclosure. To steer the hot air from the power unit to the outlet at the top of the enclosure and
prevent it from circulating back to the fan blower, use either of the following arrangements:
Install a closed air duct from the power unit to the outlet on top of the enclosure
A.
(A in Figure 37).
Install shields in the gaps between the power unit and the cabinet walls (B in Figure 37).

Place the shields above the air outlet gaps at the sides of the module.
NOTE! If a flat roof is used, mount a V-shaped air guide on the underside of the roof to direct the air
flow horizontally. See Figure 38.

The sheet metal airflow guides (deflectors) marked in green prevents air circulation between
different sections of the equipment. The shield guides marked in green prevent air circulation inside
a section. The points marked in red show the exhaust air holes. These holes must not be covered,
nor must anything be placed above them to stop the free exit of warm air from inside the equipment.
The points marked in blue show the cooling air intake holes. These holes must not be blocked in any
way.
The materials used for preventing the circulation of air inside the equipment must be firerestraining. The edges must be sealed to prevent the formation of gaps. When the deflectors are
made according to the instructions, no separate cooling fan is required.

5.3Power connection
5.3.1AC connection
The 3-phase input is connected to the input terminals of the LCL filter (L1, L2 and L3). The output
terminals of the LCL filter (U, V and W) are connected to the input terminals of the AFE unit (U, V and
W), Figure 6. The AC input of the AFE input group must be protected against short circuit. The fuses
suitable for protection are shown in Chapter 4.11. A circuit breaker can also be used for protection,
see Chapter 4.12. The best short-circuit protection is achieved by using fuses. The short-circuit
protection must be on the input side when seen from the LCL filter, Figure 6.
A cable or busbar designed for the purpose must be used to make the connection. The connection
must be dimensioned according to the nominal current rating of the Active Front End unit. The
necessary overloading allowance must also be used. The connection must also have the same
short-circuit capacity as the whole system. The connecting cable or busbar may be of copper or
aluminium. When aluminium is used, steps must be taken to prevent corrosion. The dimensions of
the terminals in the unit are indicated in Appendix 86 and their locations are shown in Appendix 77,
Appendix 78 and Appendix 79. Locations of terminals in the LCL filter are shown in Appendix 80 and
Appendix 81.
5.3.2DC connection
The DC connection of the Active Front End unit is connected to the terminals at the top. The
terminals are marked as B+ for connection to DC+ and B- for connection to DC-. The DC connection
must be protected using DC fuses, see Chapter 4.11. The terminal dimensions are shown in
Appendix 86.
5.3.3Cable installation and the UL standards
To meet the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) regulations, a UL-approved copper cable with a
minimum heat-resistance of 90 C must be used.
Use Class 1 wire only.
The units are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000 rms
symmetrical amperes, 600 V maximum, or equivalent when protected by class J, T or
Semiconductor fuses.
5.3.4LCL filter Fan power supply
Two types of power supplies are available for the LCL filter cooling fan. The cooling fan can be
supplied from an external power supply or an integrated DC/DC power supply.
5.3.4.1
The DC/DC power supply is integrated in the structure of the LCL filter, Figure 41 and Figure 42. The
integrated DC/DC power supply takes its input voltage from the intermediate circuit,Appendix 83.
The input of the DC/DC power supply must be protected against short circuit using DC fuses type
Ferraz Shawmut ATQ8 (8 A) if the length of the supply cable does not exceed 2 m. The fuses can be
installed in holders type Ferraz Shawmut US102I (2-pole), to allow the easy disconnection of the DC/
DC power supply from the supply. If the length of the supply cable exceeds 2 m, fuses type Ferraz
Shawmut D100gRB008VI (8 A) must be used. The fuses should be installed in holders.

The DC- power supply should be wired from the AFE power module DC-connectors. Wires should
be connected between the main DC- fuses and AFE module (see Figure 43). With FI13, the power
supply can be taken from the V- phase.
Local contacts: http://drives.danfoss.com/danfoss-drives/local-contacts/
Installationvacon • 71
The high DC voltage must be taken into account when wiring the supply; suitable cables/leads must
be used.
The DC/DC power supply is monitored and controlled by the Active Front End unit. The DC/DC power
supply connections are shown in Figures 41 - 42 and Appendix 83 and Appendix 84.
The control connection has to be taken from the Active Front End unit. The control cable has to be
connected to the terminal X51 on the LCL filter, see Figure 41 and Figure 42. The control cable has
to be connected to the terminal X3 on the Active Front End unit, see Figure 44. The terminal X3 can
be found under the black cover. In the FI13, the terminal X3 is located in the left-most unit. The
delivery includes the cable for the control connection. The length of the standard cable is 1.6 m.
The over-temperature protection can be wired directly to the control unit or to the DC/DC power
supply. The over-temperature protection must be connected to protect the filter for protect the filter
in case of over-temperature.
NOTE! By default, the over-temperature protection is not activated. If it is not activated, the LCL can
be damaged in case of over-temperature.
If the over-temperature protection is connected to a digital input, the wires have to be removed from
the terminal X52. The I/O wiring has to be connected to the terminals 1 and 4 on the terminal X52,
see Appendix 84. If the over-temperature protection is connected to the I/O of the Active Front End
unit, it can be programmed. The parameter P2.2.1.3 has to be set to choose the digital input to which
the over-temperature monitoring is connected. The parameter P2.7.3 allows one to select the
response to an over-temperature alarm as wanted.
If the over-temperature protection is connected to the DC/DC power supply, the jumper has to be
removed from the terminal X3. The cable from the terminal X52 should be connected to the terminal
X3. By default, the jumper is connected to the terminal X3, see Figure 42. The delivery includes the
cable for connecting the terminals X52 and X3. The wiring diagram can be seen in Appendix 84. If
over-temperature monitoring is connected to the DC/DC power supply, the Active Front End unit will
monitor over-temperature. The response to an over-temperature alarm cannot be selected. In this
case, the over-temperature fault message will be same as the fan fault of the unit. On the keypad,
the fault “32 Fan Cooling” will be shown.

LCL filter without DC/DC power supply for fan
The LCL filter is supplied without an integrated DC/DC power supply. In this case, the customer
must procure the power supply separately. The requirements for the DC power supply are shown in
Table 5. Short-circuit protection is implemented by protecting the input of the DC power with fuses.
When required, the cooling fan can be controlled on/off by installing a contactor in the DC power
supply input and controlling that depending on whether the main switch is open or closed. The over-
temperature protection of the LCL filter must always be wired from contacts 1 and 4 of terminal X52
to a digital input of the control unit (see Appendix 85) and from contacts 1 and 2 of terminal X51 to a
digital input of the control unit. The wiring of the circuit is shown in Figure 45.

5.4.2Control voltage (+24V/EXT +24V)
It is possible to use the drive with an external power source with these properties: +24 VDC ±10%,
minimum 1000 mA. You can use it to externally power-up the control board, and the basic and
expander boards.
Connect the external power source to one of the 2 bidirectional terminals (#6 or #12), see Figure 48.
With this voltage, the control unit stays on and you can set the parameters. The measurements of
the main circuit (for example, the DC link voltage, and the unit temperature) are not available when
the drive is not connected to mains.
NOTE! If you supply the AC drive with external 24 V DC power, you must use a diode in terminal #6
(or #12) to prevent the current to flow in opposite direction. Put a 1 A fuse in 24 V DC line for each
AC drive. The maximum current consumption of each drive is 1 A from the external power supply.

NOTE! The control unit I/O ground is not isolated from the chassis ground / protective earth. In the
installation, take into account the potential differences between the grounding points. We
recommend that you use galvanic isolation in the I/O and 24V circuitry.
NOTE! Analogue outputs and inputs do not work with only +24V supplied to the control unit.
If there is a +24V/EXT+24V output on the board, it is locally short-circuit protected. If one of the +24V/
EXT+24V outputs short-circuits, the others remain powered because of the local protection.

You can change the functions of the AC drive to make them better agree with your requirements. To
do this, change some positions for the jumpers on the OPTA1 board. The positions of the jumpers
set the signal type of analogue and digital inputs.
On the A1 basic board, there are 4 jumper blocks: X1, X2, X3 and X6. Each jumper block contains 8
pins and 2 jumpers. See the possible jumper selections in the figure below.

When a fault brings the brake chopper to a stop, the location indication F1, the fault code, a short
description of the fault, and the fault type symbol (see Chapter 6.3.5) will appear on the display. In
addition, the indication FAULT or ALARM (see Figure 60 or Chapter 6.1.1) is displayed and, in case
of a FAULT, the red LED on the keypad starts to blink. If several faults occur simultaneously, the list
of active faults can be browsed with the Browser buttons.
The memory of active faults can store a maximum of 10 faults in the order of appearance. The
display can be cleared with the Reset button and the read-out will return to the same state it was in
before the fault trip. The fault remains active until it is cleared with the Reset button or with a reset

NX Active Front End has four types of faults. These types differ from each other on the basis
of the subsequent behaviour of the drive. See Table 33.
Figure 61. Fault display
6
Table 33. Fault types
Fault type symbolMeaning
A
(Alarm)
F
(Fault)
AR
(Fault Autoreset)
FT
(Fault Trip)
This type of fault is a sign of an unusual operating condition. It does
not cause the drive to stop, nor does it require any special actions. The
'A fault' remains in the display for about 30 seconds.
An 'F fault' makes the drive stop. Actions need to be taken to restart
the drive.
If an 'AR fault' occurs the drive will stop immediately. The fault is
reset automatically and the drive tries to restart the motor. Finally, if
the restart is not successful, a fault trip (FT, see below) occurs.
If the drive is unable to restart the motor after an AR fault an FT fault
occurs. The 'FT fault' has basically the same effect as the F fault: the
drive is stopped.
