A frequency converter is an electronic motor controller that converts AC mains input into
DC and then into a variable voltage, variable frequency output waveform. The following is
a list of functions of the frequency converter:
• Regulates the frequency and voltage to control the motor speed or torque.
• Varies the speed of the motor in response to system feedback, such as changing
temperature or pressure for controlling fan, compressor, or pump motors.
• Regulates the motor by responding to remote commands from external controls.
• Monitors the system and motor status.
• Issues warnings or alarms for fault conditions.
• Starts and stops the motor.
• Optimizes energy efficiency.
Operation and monitoring functions are available as status indications to an outside
control system or serial communication network.
Approvals and certifications
The frequency converter complies with UL508C thermal memory retention requirements.
Motor thermal protection
Motor thermal protection can be implemented using various techniques: PTC sensor in
motor windings, mechanical thermal switch, (Klixon type) or Electronic Thermal Relay
(ETR).
Protection against motor overheating comes from 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection. If the
ETR function is desired, set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to data value [4] ETR trip
(default value) or data value [3] ETR warning.
NOTICE: The ETR function is initialized at 1.16 x rated motor current and rated motor
frequency. The ETR function provides class 20 motor overload protection in accordance
with the NEC.
Motor thermal protection prevents the motor from overheating. The ETR function is an
electronic feature that simulates a bimetal relay that is based on internal measurements.
The characteristic is shown in the following figure.
time in seconds before the ETR cuts off and trips the frequency converter. The curves
show the characteristic nominal speed, at twice the nominal speed and at 20% of the
nominal speed. The curve shows that at lower speed the ETR cuts off at lower heat due to
less cooling of the motor. In that way, the motor is protected from overheating even at low
speed. The ETR function calculates the motor temperature that is based on actual current
and speed. The calculated temperature is visible as a readout parameter in 16-18 Motor
Thermal in the frequency converter.
Motor thermal protection can also be achieved using an external thermistor. Set 1-90
Motor Thermal Protection to data value [2] Thermistor trip or data value [1] Thermistor
warning. Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to the input to which the thermistor is connected.
Refer to the examples below for wiring details.
The thermistor cut-out value is >3kΩ. Integrate a thermistor (PTC sensor) in the motor for
winding protection.
The following examples show various ways to connect the PTC/Thermistor to the drive.
• Using a digital input and the 24V as a power supply.
• Parameter set-up:
• Set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to Thermistor Trip [2]
• Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to Digital Input 19 [4]
• Using a digital input and the 10V as a power supply.
• Parameter set-up:
• Set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to Thermistor Trip [2]
• Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to Digital Input 19 [4]
• Using an analog input and 10V as a power supply
• Parameter set-up:
• Set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to Thermistor Trip [2]
• Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to Analog Input 54 [2]. Do not use Analog Input
54 as any other feedback or reference source. Be sure to configure the analog
input configuration switches properly.
With the Torque limit feature the motor is protected from being overloaded independent
of the speed. With the ETR the motor is protected from being overheated and there is no
need for any further motor protection. That means when the motor is heated up the ETR
timer controls how long the motor can be operated at the high temperature before it is
stopped in order to prevent overheating. If the motor is overloaded without reaching the
temperature where the ETR turns off the motor, the torque limit will protect the motor
from being overloaded.
The ETR function is activated in 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection and is controlled in 4-16
Torque Limit Motor Mode. The time before the torque limit warning trips the drive is set in
14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit.
• The frequency converter relies on the ambient air for cooling. Observe the limitations
on ambient air temperature for optimal operation.
• Ensure that the installation location has sufficient support strength to mount the
frequency converter.
• Keep the manual, drawings, and diagrams accessible for detailed installation and
operation instructions. It is important that the manual is available for equipment
operators.
• Locate equipment as near to the motor as possible. Keep motor cables as short as
possible. Check the motor characteristics for actual tolerances.
• For installations with motor leads longer than 50 feet, use the output filter option
to protect the motor.
• Ensure that the ingress protection rating of the frequency converter is suitable for the
installation environment. IP55 (Type 3R/12) or IP66 (Type 4) enclosures may be
necessary.
CAUTION:
Ingress protection. IP54, IP55 and IP66 ratings can only be guaranteed
if the unit is properly closed.
• Ensure all cable glands and unused holes for glands are properly
sealed.
• Ensure that the unit cover is properly closed.
Device damage through contamination. Do not leave the frequency
converter uncovered.
Frequency converter and motor pre-installation check list
• Compare the model number of the unit on the nameplate to what was ordered to
verify the proper equipment.
• Ensure each of the following are rated for same voltage:
• Mains (power)
• Frequency converter
• Motor
• Ensure that the frequency converter output current rating is equal to or greater than
motor service factor current for peak motor performance.
• Motor size and frequency converter power must match for proper overload
protection.
• If frequency converter rating is less than motor, full motor output cannot be
achieved.
• EQUIPMENT HAZARD. Rotating shafts and electrical equipment can be hazardous. All
electrical work must conform to national and local electrical codes. Installation, startup, and maintenance must be performed by trained and qualified personnel. Failure
to follow these guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
• FIRE HAZARD. Consult the Brake Design Guide IM257 for details on proper
installation of a brake resistor.
NOTICE:
WIRING ISOLATION. Run input power, motor wiring and control wiring in three separate
metallic conduits or use separated shielded cable for high frequency noise isolation.
Failure to isolate power, motor and control wiring could result in less than optimum
frequency converter and associated equipment performance.
Electrical Installation
For your safety comply with the following requirements:
• Electronic control equipment is connected to hazardous mains voltage. Extreme care
should be taken to protect against electrical hazards when applying power to the unit.
• Run motor cable from multiple frequency converters separately. Induced voltage can
charge equipment capacitors even with the equipment turned off and locked.
Overload and equipment protection:
• An electronically activated function within the frequency converter provides overload
protection in the motor. The overload calculates the level of increase to activate
timing for the trip (controller output stop) function. The higher the current draw, the
quicker the trip response. The overload provides Class 20 motor protection. See
Warnings and alarms section for details on the trip function.
• All frequency converters must be provided with short-circuit and over-current
protection. Input fusing is required to provide this protection. If not factory supplied,
fuses must be provided by the installer as part of installations. See Fuse specifications
section for details.
• All wiring must comply with local and national regulations regarding cross section and
ambient temperature requirements.
• It is recommended the all power connections be made with a minimum 75°C rated
copper wire.
• See Power-dependent specifications for recommended wire sizes.
Earth (grounding) requirements
WARNING:
For operator safety, it is important to ground the frequency converter properly in
accordance with national and local electrical codes as well as instructions contained within
this document. Ground currents are higher than 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the frequency
converter properly could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE:
It is the responsibility of the user or certified electrical installer to ensure correct
grounding (earthing) of the equipment in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and standards.
• Follow all local and national electrical codes to ground electrical equipment properly.
• Proper protective grounding for equipment with ground currents higher the 3.5 mA
must be established. See the Leakage current (>3.5 mA) section for details.
• A dedicated ground wire is required for input power, motor power and control wiring.
• Use the clamps provided with the equipment for proper ground connections.
• Do not ground one frequency converter to another in a “daisy chain” fashion.
• Keep the ground wire connections as short as possible.
• Using high-strand wire to reduce electrical noise is recommended.
• Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
Leakage current (>3.5 mA)
Follow national and local codes regarding protective earthing of equipment with a
leakage current > 3.5 mA. Frequency converter technology implies high frequency
switching at high power. This will generate a leakage current in the earth connection. A
fault current in the frequency converter at the output power terminals might contain a DC
component which can charge the filter capacitors and cause a transient earth current. The
earth leakage current depends on various system configurations including RFI filtering,
screened motor cables, and frequency converter power.
EN/EC61800–5–1 (Power Drive System Product standard) requires special care if the
leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA. Earth grounding must be reinforced in one of the
following ways:
• Earth ground wire of at least 8 AWG or 10 mm2.
• Two separate earth ground wires both complying with the dimensioning rules.
See EN60364–5–54 section 543.7 for further information.
Using GFCIs (RCDs)
Where Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) and residual current devices (RCDs), also
know as earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCDs), are used, comply with the following:
• Use GFCIs (RCDs) of type B only which are capable of detecting AC and DC currents.
• Use GFCIs (RCDs) with an inrush delay to prevent faults due to transient earth
currents.
• Dimension GFCIs (RCDs) according to the system configuration and environmental
considerations.
Grounding using shielded cable
grounding (earthing) clamps are provided for motor wiring.
INDUCED VOLTAGE. Run output motor cables from multiple frequency converters
separately. Induced voltage from output motor cables run together can charge
equipment capacitors even with the equipment turned off and locked out. Failure to run
output motor cables separately could result in death or serious injury.
Be sure the following are adhered to:
• For maximum wire sizes see Power-dependent Specifications.
• Comply with local and national electrical codes
• Motor wiring knockouts or access panels are provided at the base of IP21 and higher
(NEMA 1/12) units
• Do not install power factor correction capacitors between the frequency converter
and the motor
• Do not wire a starting or pole-changing device between the frequency converter and
the motor
• Connect the 3–phase motor wiring to terminals 96 (U), 97 (V), and 98 (W)
• Ground the cable in accordance with grounding instructions provided
• Torque terminals in accordance with the informations provided in Connection
tightening torques.
• Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements

Electrical Installation
Figure 7: Motor, mains and earth wiring for frame sizes B, C, and D using shielded cable
• Depending on the configuration of the equipment, input power will be connected to
the mains input terminals or the input disconnect.
• Ground the cable in accordance with grounding instructions in Earth (Grounding)
Requirements.
• All frequency converters may be used with an isolated input source as well as with
ground reference power lines. When supplied from an isolated mains source (IT
mains or floating delta) or TT/TN-S mains with a grounded leg (grounded delta), set
14-50 RFI Filter to OFF. When off, the internal RFI filter capacitors between the chassis
and the intermediate circuit are isolated to avoid damage to the intermediate circuit
and to reduce earth capacity currents in accordance with IEC 61800-3.
Control wiring
• Isolate control wiring from high power components in the frequency converter.
• If the frequency converter is connected to a thermistor, for PELV isolation, optional
