14 Safety instructions

General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance


These instructions are for all personnel who do work on the drive.

WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.

• Keep the drive in its package until you install it. After unpacking, protect the drive from
dust, debris and moisture.
• Use the required personal protective equipment: safety shoes with metal toe cap,
safety glasses, protective gloves and long sleeves, etc. Some parts have sharp edges.
• Lift a heavy drive with a lifting device. Use the designated lifting points. See the
dimension drawings.
• Be careful when handling a tall module. The module overturns easily because it is
heavy and has a high center of gravity. Whenever possible, secure the module with
chains. Do not leave an unsupported module unattended especially on a sloping floor.

• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors,


and brake resistors, remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Vacuum clean the area around the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive cooling
fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Make sure that debris from drilling, cutting and grinding does not enter the drive during
the installation. Electrically conductive debris inside the drive may cause damage or
malfunction.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See the technical data.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that all covers are in place. Do
not remove the covers when voltage is connected.
• Before you adjust the drive operation limits, make sure that the motor and all driven
equipment can operate throughout the set operation limits.
Safety instructions 15

• Before you activate the automatic fault reset or automatic restart functions of the drive
control program, make sure that no dangerous situations can occur. These functions
reset the drive automatically and continue operation after a fault or supply break. If
these functions are activated, the installation must be clearly marked as defined in
IEC/EN/UL 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, "THIS MACHINE STARTS
AUTOMATICALLY".
• The maximum drive power cycles is five times in ten minutes. Power cycling the drive
too often can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors.
• If you have connected safety circuits to the drive (for example, Safe torque off or
emergency stop), validate them at start-up. See separate instructions for the safety
circuits.
• Beware of hot air exiting from the air outlets.
• Do not cover the air inlet or outlet when the drive is running.
Note:
• If you select an external source for the start command and it is on, the drive will start
immediately after fault reset unless you configure the drive for pulse start. See the
firmware manual.
• If the drive is in remote control mode, you cannot stop or start the drive with the control
panel.
• Only authorized persons are allowed to repair a malfunctioning drive.
16 Safety instructions

■ General safety in operation


These instructions are for all personnel that operate the drive.

WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.

• If you have a cardiac pacemaker or other electronic medical device, keep away from
the area near motor, drive, and the drive power cabling when the drive is in operation.
There are electromagnetic fields present which can interfere with the function of such
devices. This can cause a health hazard.
• Give a stop command to the drive before you reset a fault. If you have an external
source for the start command and the start is on, the drive will start immediately after
the fault reset, unless you configure the drive for pulse start. See the firmware manual.
• Before you activate the automatic fault reset or automatic restart functions of the drive
control program, make sure that no dangerous situations can occur. These functions
reset the drive automatically and continue operation after a fault or supply break. If
these functions are activated, the installation must be clearly marked as defined in
IEC/EN/UL 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, "THIS MACHINE STARTS
AUTOMATICALLY".
Note:
• The maximum drive power cycles is five times in ten minutes. Power cycling the drive
too often can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors. If you need to start
or stop the drive, use the control panel keys or commands through the I/O terminals
of the drive.
• If the drive is in remote control mode, you cannot stop or start the drive with the control
panel.
Safety instructions 17

Electrical safety in installation, start-up and maintenance


■ Electrical safety precautions
These electrical safety precautions are for all personnel who do work on the drive, motor
cable or motor.

WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation or
maintenance work.
Go through these steps before you begin any installation or maintenance work.

1. Clearly identify the work location and equipment.


2. Disconnect all possible voltage sources. Make sure that re-connection is not possible.
Lock out and tag out.
• Open the main disconnecting device of the drive.
• If you have a permanent magnet motor connected to the drive, disconnect the
motor from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
• Disconnect all dangerous external voltages from the control circuits.
• After you disconnect power from the drive, always wait 5 minutes to let the
intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you continue.

3. Protect any other energized parts in the work location against contact.
4. Take special precautions when close to bare conductors.
5. Measure that the installation is de-energized. Use a quality voltage tester.
• Before and after measuring the installation, verify the operation of the voltage
tester on a known voltage source.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (L1, L2, L3)
and the grounding (PE) busbar is zero.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V, T3/W)
and the grounding (PE) busbar is zero.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+ and UDC-)
and the grounding (PE) terminal is zero.
Note: If cables are not connected to the drive DC terminals, measuring the voltage
from the DC terminal screws can give incorrect results.
18 Safety instructions

6. Install temporary grounding as required by the local regulations.


7. Ask for a permit to work from the person in control of the electrical installation work.

■ Additional instructions and notes


WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation or
maintenance work.

• Make sure that the electrical power network, motor/generator, and environmental
conditions agree with the drive data.
• Do not do insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive.
• If you have a cardiac pacemaker or other electronic medical device, keep away from
the area near motor, drive, and the drive power cabling when the drive is in operation.
There are electromagnetic fields present which can interfere with the function of such
devices. This can cause a health hazard.
Note:
• When the drive is connected to the input power, the motor cable terminals and the
DC bus are at a dangerous voltage.
After disconnecting the drive from the input power, these remain at a dangerous
voltage until the intermediate circuit capacitors have discharged.
• External wiring can supply dangerous voltages to the relay outputs of the control units
of the drive.
• The Safe torque off function does not remove the voltage from the main and auxiliary
circuits. The function is not effective against deliberate sabotage or misuse.

Printed circuit boards

WARNING!
Use a grounding wristband when you handle printed circuit boards. Do not touch
the boards unnecessarily. The boards contain components sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.
Safety instructions 19

■ Grounding
These instructions are for all personnel who are responsible for the grounding of the
drive.

WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or equipment
malfunction can occur, and electromagnetic interference can increase.
If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do grounding work.

• Always ground the drive, the motor and adjoining equipment. This is necessary for
the personnel safety.
• Make sure that the conductivity of the protective earth (PE) conductors is sufficient
and that other requirements are met. See the electrical planning instructions of the
drive. Obey the applicable national and local regulations.
• When using shielded cables, make a 360° grounding of the cable shields at the cable
entries to reduce electromagnetic emission and interference.
• In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to the protective earth
(PE) busbar of the power supply.

Additional instructions for permanent magnet motor drives


■ Safety in installation, start-up, maintenance
These are additional warnings concerning permanent magnet motor drives. The other
safety instructions in this chapter are also valid.

WARNING!

equipment can occur.
If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation or
maintenance work.

• Do not do work on the drive when a rotating permanent magnet motor is connected
to it. A rotating permanent magnet motor energizes the drive including its input and
output power terminals.
Before installation, start-up and maintenance work on the drive:
• Stop the drive.
• Disconnect the motor from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
20 Safety instructions

• If you cannot disconnect the motor, make sure that the motor cannot rotate during
work. Make sure that no other system, like hydraulic crawling drives, can rotate the
motor directly or through any mechanical connection like felt, nip, rope, etc.
• Do the steps in section Electrical safety precautions (page 17).
• Install temporary grounding to the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V, T3/W). Connect
the output terminals together as well as to the PE.
During the start-up:
• Make sure that the motor cannot run overspeed, for example, driven by the load.
Motor overspeed causes overvoltage that can damage or destroy the capacitors in
the intermediate circuit of the drive.

■ Safety in operation
WARNING!
Make sure that the motor cannot run overspeed, for example, driven by the load.
Motor overspeed causes overvoltage that can damage or destroy the capacitors
in the intermediate circuit of the drive.

This chapter briefly describes the operation principle and construction of the drive.
28 Operation principle and hardware description

Operation principle
The ACS880-11 is a four-quadrant drive for controlling asynchronous AC induction
motors, AC induction servomotors, permanent magnet motors and synchronous
reluctance motors.
The drive includes a line-side converter and a motor-side converter. The parameters
and signals for both converters are combined into one primary user program.
The figure below shows the simplified main circuit diagram of the drive.

L2 T2/V
L3 T3/W

A Drive

1 LCL filter

2 Line-side converter

3 DC link. DC circuit between the line-side converter and motor-side converter.

4 Motor-side converter

5 Common mode filter (option +E208)

The line-side converter rectifies three phase AC current to direct current for the
intermediate DC link of the drive. The intermediate DC link further supplies the motor-side
converter that runs the motor.
Both converters consist of six insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) with free wheeling
diodes. The content of AC voltage and current harmonics is low. The LCL filter
suppresses the harmonics further.
The line-side converter can transfer energy from the electrical power system to the drive
DC link and vice versa. Thus the drive can operate the motor in all four quadrants (speed,
torque). The figure below visualizes the operation of the four-quadrant drive. In quadrants
I and III, the drive operates in the motoring mode and takes energy from the power
system. In quadrants II and IV, the drive operates in generating mode, and regenerates
energy back to the power system.
Operation principle and hardware description 29

II I

n
III IV

The line-side and motor-side converters have their own control programs. The parameters
of both programs can be viewed and changed using a control panel.

■ DC voltage boost function


The drive can boost their DC link voltage. In other words, it can increase the operating
voltage of the DC link from its default value.
To take the DC voltage boost function in use:
1. adjust the user DC voltage reference value (94.22) and
2. select the user-defined reference (94.22) as the source for the drive DC voltage
reference (94.21).
Benefits of the DC voltage boost function are:
• possibility to supply nominal voltage to the motor even when the supply voltage of
the drive is below the motor nominal voltage level
• compensation of voltage drop due to output filter, motor cable or input supply cables
• increased motor torque in the field weakening area (ie, when the drive operates the
motor in the speed range above the motor nominal speed)
• possibility to use a motor with higher nominal voltage than the actual supply voltage
of the drive. Example: A drive that is connected to 415 V can supply 460 V to a 460 V
motor.
For more information, see ACS880-11, ACS880-31, ACS880-14, ACS880-34,
ACS880-17, ACS880-37 drives product note on DC voltage boost (3AXD50000691838

Safety
WARNING!
Frames R6 and R8: Lift the drive with a lifting device. Use the lifting eyes of the
drive. Do not tilt the drive. The drive is heavy and its center of gravity is high.
An overturning drive can cause physical injury.

Examining the installation site


Examine the installation site. Make sure that:
• The installation site is sufficiently ventilated or cooled to remove heat from the drive.
See the technical data.
• The ambient conditions of the drive meet the specifications. See the technical data.
• The wall behind the drive and the material above and below the unit is of
non-flammable material.
• The installation surface is as close to vertical as possible and strong enough to support
the drive.
• There is sufficient free space around the drive for cooling, maintenance, and operation.
See the free space specifications for the drive.
• Make sure that there are no sources of strong magnetic fields such as high-current
single-core conductors or contactor coils near the drive. A strong magnetic field can
cause interference or inaccuracy in the operation of the drive.

Installation orientations
The drive must be installed on a wall or mounting plate. There are three alternative ways
to install it:

Guidelines for planning the
electrical installation
Contents of this chapter
This chapter contains guidelines for planning the electrical installation of the drive.

Limitation of liability
The installation must always be designed and made according to applicable local laws
and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation which
breaches the local laws and/or other regulations. Furthermore, if the recommendations
given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience problems that the warranty
does not cover.

Selecting the main supply disconnecting device


You must equip the drive with a main supply disconnecting device which meets the local
safety regulations. You must be able to lock the disconnecting device to the open position
for installation and maintenance work.
54 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation

■ European Union and United Kingdom


To meet the European Union Directives and United Kingdom Regulations, according
to standard EN 60204-1, Safety of Machinery, the disconnecting device must be one
of the following types:
• switch-disconnector of utilization category AC-23B (IEC 60947-3)
• disconnector that has an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes switching devices
to break the load circuit before the opening of the main contacts of the disconnector
(EN 60947-3)
• circuit-breaker suitable for isolation in accordance with IEC 60947-2.

■ North America
Installations must be compliant with NFPA 70 (NEC)1) and/or Canadian Electrical Code
(CE) along with state and local codes for your location and application.
1) National Fire Protection Association 70 (National Electric Code).

■ Other regions
The disconnecting device must conform to the applicable local safety regulations.

Selecting the main contactor


You can equip the drive with a main contactor.
Follow these guidelines when you select a customer-defined main contactor:
• Dimension the contactor according to the nominal voltage and current of the drive.
Also consider the environmental conditions such as surrounding air temperature.
• IEC devices only: Select contactor with utilization category AC-1 (number of operations
under load) according to IEC 60947-4, Low-voltage switch gear and control gear.
• Consider the application life time requirements.

■ North America
Installations must be compliant with NFPA 70 (NEC)1) and/or Canadian Electrical Code
(CE) along with state and local codes for your location and application.
1) National Fire Protection Association 70 (National Electric Code).

■ Other regions
The disconnecting device must conform to the applicable local safety regulations.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 55

Examining the compatibility of the motor and drive


Use asynchronous AC induction motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, AC
induction servomotors or ABB synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM motors) with
the drive.
Select the motor size and drive type from the rating table on basis of the AC line voltage
and motor load. You can find the rating table in the appropriate hardware manual. You
can also use the DriveSize PC tool.
Make sure that the motor can be used with an AC drive. See Requirements
table (page 55). For basics of protecting the motor insulation and bearings in drive
systems, see Protecting the motor insulation and bearings (page 55).
Note:
• Consult the motor manufacturer before using a motor with nominal voltage that differs
from the AC line voltage connected to the drive input.
• The voltage peaks at the motor terminals are relative to the supply voltage of the
drive, not to the drive output voltage.

■ Protecting the motor insulation and bearings


The drive employs modern IGBT inverter technology. Regardless of frequency, the drive
output comprises pulses of approximately the drive DC bus voltage with a very short
rise time. The pulse voltage can almost double at the motor terminals, depending on
the attenuation and reflection properties of the motor cable and the terminals. This can
cause additional stress on the motor and motor cable insulation.
Modern variable speed drives with their fast rising voltage pulses and high switching
frequencies can generate current pulses that flow through the motor bearings. This can
gradually erode the bearing races and rolling elements.
du/dt filters protect motor insulation system and reduce bearing currents. Common mode
filters mainly reduce bearing currents. Insulated N-end (non-drive end) bearings protect
the motor bearings.

■ Requirements table
These tables show how to select the motor insulation system and when a drive du/dt
and common mode filters and insulated N-end (non-drive end) motor bearings are
required. Ignoring the requirements or improper installation may shorten motor life or
damage the motor bearings and voids the warranty.

Additional requirements for explosion-safe (EX) motors


If you use an explosion-safe (EX) motor, follow the rules in the requirements table above.
In addition, consult the motor manufacturer for any further requirements.

Additional requirements for ABB motors of types other than M2_, M3_, M4_, HX_
and AM_
Use the selection criteria given for non-ABB motors.

Additional requirements for the regenerative and low harmonics drives


It is possible to increase the intermediate circuit DC voltage from the nominal (standard)
level with a parameter in the control program. If you choose to do this, select the motor
insulation system which withstands the increased DC voltage level.

Additional requirements for ABB high-output and IP23 motors


The rated output power of high output motors is higher than what is stated for the
particular frame size in EN 50347 (2001).
This table shows the requirements for protecting the motor insulation and bearings in
drive systems for ABB random-wound motor series (for example, M3AA, M3AP and
M3BP).

Additional data for calculating the rise time and the peak line-to-line voltage
The diagrams below show the relative peak line-to-line voltage and rate of change of
voltage as a function of the motor cable length. If you need to calculate the actual peak
voltage and voltage rise time considering the actual cable length, proceed as follows:
• Peak line-to line voltage: Read the relative ÛLL/Un value from the diagram below and
multiply it by the nominal supply voltage (Un).
• Voltage rise time: Read the relative values ÛLL/Un and (du/dt)/Un from the diagram
below. Multiply the values by the nominal supply voltage (Un) and substitute into
equation t = 0.8 · ÛLL/(du/dt).

Additional note for sine filters


A sine filter also protects the motor insulation system. The peak phase-to-phase voltage
with a sine filter is approximately 1.5 · Un.

Selecting the power cables


■ General guidelines
Select the input power and motor cables according to local regulations.
• Current: Select a cable capable of carrying the maximum load current and suitable
for the prospective short-circuit provided by the supply network. The method of
installation and ambient temperature affect the cable current carrying capacity. Obey
local regulations and laws.
• Temperature: For an IEC installation, select a cable rated for at least 70 °C (158 °F)
maximum permissible temperature of conductor in continuous use.
For North America, select a cable rated for at least 75 °C (167 °F).
Important: For certain product types or option configurations higher temperature rating
may be required. See the technical data for details.
• Voltage: 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC. 750 V AC cable is accepted
for up to 600 V AC. 1000 V AC cable is accepted for up to 690 V AC.
To comply with the EMC requirements of the CE mark, use one of the preferred cable
types. See Preferred power cable types (page 63).
Symmetrical shielded cable reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system
as well as the stress on motor insulation, bearing currents and wear.
Metal conduit reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system.

1) Armor may act as an EMC shield, as long as it provides the same performance as a concentric EMC shield
of a shielded cable. To be effective at high frequencies, the shield conductivity must be at least 1/10 of the
phase conductor conductivity. The effectiveness of the shield can be evaluated based on the shield inductance,
which must be low and only slightly dependent on frequency. The requirements are easily met with a copper
or aluminum shield/armor. The cross-section of a steel shield must be ample and the shield helix must have
a low gradient. A galvanized steel shield has a better high-frequency conductivity than a non-galvanized steel
shield.

66 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation

■ Additional guidelines, North America


ABB recommends the use of conduit for power wiring to the drive and between the drive
and the motor(s). Due to the variety of application needs, metallic and non-metallic
conduit can be used. ABB recommends the use of metallic conduit.
The following table shows examples of various materials and methods for wiring the
drive in the intended application. See NEC 70 along with state and local codes for the
appropriate materials for your application.
In all applications, ABB prefers the use of symmetrical shielded VFD cable between
drive and motor(s).

Wiring method Notes

Conduit - Metallic 1) 2)
Electrical metallic tubing: Type EMT Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable.
Rigid metal conduit: Type RMC Use separate conduit run for each motor.
Liquid-tight flexible metal electrical conduit: Type Do not run input power wiring and motor wiring
LFMC in the same conduit.
2) 3)
Conduit - Non-metallic
Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable.
Liquid-tight flexible non-metallic conduit: Type Use separate conduit run for each motor.
LFNC Do not run input power wiring and motor wiring
in the same conduit.
2)
Wireways
Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable.
Separate motor wiring from input power wiring
and other low voltage wiring.
Metallic
Do not run outputs of multiple drives parallel.
Bundle each cable (wiring) together and use
separators where possible.
2)
Free air
Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable.
Enclosures, air handlers, etc. Allowed internally in enclosures when in accord-
ance with UL.

1) Metallic conduit may be used as an additional ground path, provided this path is a solid path capable of
handling ground currents.
2) See NFPA NEC 70, UL, and local codes for your application.
3) Non-metallic conduit use underground is allowed; however, these installations inherently have an increased
chance for nuisance problems due to the potential for water/moisture in the conduit. Water/moisture in the
conduit increases the likelihood of VFD faults or warnings. Proper installation is required to make sure there
is no intrusion of water/moisture.

Metal conduit
Couple separate parts of a metal conduit together: bridge the joints with a ground
conductor bonded to the conduit on each side of the joint. Also bond the conduits to the
drive enclosure and motor frame. Use separate conduits for input power, motor, brake
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 67

resistor, and control wiring. Do not run motor wiring from more than one drive in the
same conduit.

■ Power cable shield


If the cable shield is used as the sole protective earth (PE) conductor, make sure that
its conductivity agrees with the PE conductor requirements.
To effectively„suppress radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions, the cable
shield conductivity must be at least 1/10 of the phase conductor conductivity. The
requirements are easily met with a copper or aluminum shield. The minimum requirement
of the motor cable shield of the drive is shown below. It consists of a concentric layer
of copper wires with an open helix of copper tape or copper wire. The better and tighter
the shield, the lower the emission level and bearing currents.

4 Inner insulation

5 Cable core

Selecting the control cables


■ Shielding
Only use shielded control cables.
Use a double-shielded twisted pair cable for analog signals. ABB recommends this type
of cable also for the pulse encoder signals. Use one individually shielded pair for each
signal. Do not use common return for different analog signals.
68 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation

A double-shielded cable (a) is the best alternative for low-voltage digital signals, but
single-shielded (b) twisted pair cable is also acceptable.

a b

„■ Signals in separate cables


Run analog and digital signals in separate, shielded cables. Do not mix 24 V DC and
115/230 V AC signals in the same cable.

■ Signals that can be run in the same cable


„ If their voltage does not exceed 48 V, relay-controlled signals can be run in the same
cables as digital input signals. The relay-controlled signals should be run as twisted
pairs.

■ Relay cable
The cable type with braided metallic shield (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL,
„ Germany) has been tested and approved by ABB.
■ Control panel to drive cable
Use EIA-485, Cat 5e (or better) cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The maximum length
of the cable is 100 m (328 ft).
„■ PC tool cable
Connect the Drive composer PC tool to the drive through the USB port of the control
panel. Use a USB Type A (PC) - Type Mini-B (control panel) cable. The maximum length
of the cable is 3 m (9.8 ft).

Routing the cables


■ General guidelines – IEC
• Route the motor cable away from other cables. Motor cables of several drives can be
run in parallel installed next to each other.
• Install the motor cable, input power cable and control cables on separate trays.
• Avoid long parallel runs of motor cables with other cables.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 69

• Where control cables must cross power cables, make sure that they are arranged at
an angle as near to 90 degrees as possible.
• Do not run extra cables through the drive.
• Make sure that the cable trays have good electrical bonding to each other and to the
grounding electrodes. Aluminum tray systems can be used to improve local equalizing
of potential.
The following figure illustrates the cable routing guidelines with an example drive.

these general guidelines:
• Use separate conduits for the input power, motor, brake resistor (optional), and control
cabling.
• Use separate conduit for each motor cabling.

To minimize the emission level when safety switches, contactors, connection boxes or
similar equipment are installed on the motor cable between the drive and the motor:
• Install the equipment in a metal enclosure.
• Use either a symmetrical shielded cable, or install the cabling in a metal conduit.
• Make sure that there is a good and continuous galvanic connection in the shield/conduit
between drive and motor.
• Connect the shield/conduit to the protective ground terminal of the drive and the motor.

DC voltage boost function


The drive can boost their DC link voltage. In other words, it can increase the operating
voltage of the DC link from its default value.
To take the DC voltage boost function in use:
1. adjust the user DC voltage reference value (94.22) and
2. select the user-defined reference (94.22) as the source for the drive DC voltage
reference (94.21).
Benefits of the DC voltage boost function are:
• possibility to supply nominal voltage to the motor even when the supply voltage of
the drive is below the motor nominal voltage level
• compensation of voltage drop due to output filter, motor cable or input supply cables
• increased motor torque in the field weakening area (ie, when the drive operates the
motor in the speed range above the motor nominal speed)
• possibility to use a motor with higher nominal voltage than the actual supply voltage
of the drive. Example: A drive that is connected to 415 V can supply 460 V to a 460 V
motor.
For more information, see ACS880-11, ACS880-31, ACS880-14, ACS880-34,
ACS880-17, ACS880-37 drives product note on DC voltage boost (3AXD50000691838

Protecting the drive, input power cable, motor and motor


cable in short circuit situations and against thermal overload
■ Protecting the drive and the input power cable in short-circuits
Protect the drive with fuses and the input cable with fuses or a circuit breaker.
72 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation

~ M
~ 3~

Size the fuses or circuit breakers according to local regulations for the input cable
protection. Select the fuses or circuit breakers for the drive according to the instructions
given in the technical data. The fuses for the drive protection will restrict drive damage
and prevent damage to adjoining equipment in case of a short-circuit inside the drive.
Note: If the fuses or circuit breakers for the drive protection are placed at the distribution
board and the input cable is dimensioned according to the nominal input current of the
drive given in the technical data, the fuses or circuit breakers protect also the input cable
in short-circuit situations, restrict drive damage and prevent damage to adjoining
equipment in case of a short-circuit inside the drive. No separate fuses or circuit breakers
for the input cable protection are needed.

WARNING!
Due to the inherent operating principle and construction of circuit breakers,
independent of the manufacturer, hot ionized gases can escape from the breaker
enclosure in case of a short-circuit. To ensure safe use, pay special attention to
the installation and placement of the breakers. Obey the manufacturer’s
instructions.

■ Circuit breakers
See section Circuit breakers (IEC) (page 178) or Circuit breakers (UL) (page 179).

■ Protecting the motor and motor cable in short-circuits


The drive protects the motor cable and motor in a short-circuit situation when the motor
cable is sized according to the nominal output current of the drive.

■ Protecting the motor cables against thermal overload


The drive protects the motor cables against thermal overload when the cables are sized
according to the nominal output current of the drive. No additional thermal protection
devices are needed.

WARNING!
If the drive is connected to multiple motors, use a separate overload protection
for each motor cable and motor. The drive overload protection is tuned for the
total motor load. It may not detect an overload in one motor circuit only.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 73

North America: The local code (NEC) requires an overload protection and a
short-circuit protection for each motor circuit. Use, for example:
• a manual motor protector
• circuit breaker, contactor and overload relay or
• fuses, contactor and overload relay.

■ Protecting the motor against thermal overload


According to regulations, the motor must be protected against thermal overload and the
current must be switched off when overload is detected. The drive includes a motor
thermal protection function that protects the motor and switches off the current when
necessary. Depending on a drive parameter value, the function either monitors a
calculated temperature value (based on a motor thermal model) or an actual temperature
indication given by motor temperature sensors.
The motor thermal protection model supports thermal memory retention and speed
sensitivity. The user can tune the thermal model further by feeding in additional motor
and load data.
The most common temperature sensor types are PTC or Pt100.
For more information, see the firmware manual.

■ Protecting the motor against overload without thermal model or


temperature sensors
Motor overload protection protects the motor against overload without using motor
thermal model or temperature sensors.
Motor overload protection is required and specified by multiple standards including the
US National Electric Code (NEC) and the common UL/IEC 61800-5-1 standard in
conjunction with UL/IEC 60947-4-1. The standards allow for motor overload protection
without external temperature sensors.
The protection feature allows the user to specify the class of operation in the same
manner as the overload relays are specified in standards UL/IEC 60947-4-1 and
NEMA ICS 2.
The motor overload protection supports thermal memory retention and speed sensitivity.
For more information, see drive firmware manual.
74 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation

Implementing a motor temperature sensor connection


WARNING!
IEC 61800-5-1 requires double or reinforced insulation between live parts and
accessible parts when:
• the accessible parts are not conductive, or
• the accessible parts are conductive, but not connected to the protective earth.
Obey this requirement when you plan the connection of the motor temperature
sensor to the drive.

You have these implementation alternatives:


1. If there is double or reinforced insulation between the sensor and the live parts of
the motor: You can connect the sensor directly to the analog/digital input(s) of the
drive. See the control cable connection instructions. Make sure that the voltage
does not exceed the maximum allowed voltage over the sensor.
2. If there is basic insulation between the sensor and the live parts of the motor: You
can connect the sensor to the analog/digital input(s) of the drive. All other circuits
connected to the digital and analog inputs (typically extra-low voltage circuits) must
be:
• protected against contact, and
• insulated with basic insulation from other low-voltage circuits. The insulation must
be rated for the same voltage level as the drive main circuit.
Note: Extra-low voltage circuits (for example, 24 V DC) typically do not meet these
requirements.
Make sure that the voltage does not exceed the maximum allowed voltage over the
sensor.
As an alternative, you can connect the sensor with basic insulation to the
analog/digital input(s) of the drive, if you do not connect any other external control
circuits to the drive digital and analog inputs.
3. You can connect the sensor to the drive via an option module. The sensor and the
module must form a double or reinforced insulation between the motor live parts
and the drive control unit. See Connecting motor temperature sensor to the drive
via an option module (page 75). Make sure that the voltage does not exceed the
maximum allowed voltage over the sensor.
4. You can connect a sensor to a digital input of the drive via an external relay. The
sensor and the relay must form a double or reinforced insulation between the motor
live parts and the digital input of the drive. Make sure that the voltage does not
exceed the maximum allowed voltage over the sensor.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 75

■ Connecting motor temperature sensor to the drive via an option module


This table shows:
• option module types that you can use for the motor temperature sensor connection
• insulation or isolation level that each option module forms between its temperature
sensor connector and other connectors
• temperature sensor types that you can connect to each option module
• temperature sensor insulation requirement in order to form, together with the insulation
of the option module, a reinforced insulation between the motor live parts and the
drive control unit.

Protecting the drive against ground faults


The drive is equipped with an internal ground fault protective function to protect the unit
against ground faults in the motor and motor cable. This function is not a personnel
safety or a fire protection feature. See the firmware manual for more information.

■ Residual current device compatibility


The drive is suitable to be used with residual current devices of Type B.
76 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation

Note: As standard, the drive contains capacitors connected between the main circuit
and the frame. These capacitors and long motor cables increase the ground leakage
current and may cause nuisance faults in residual current devices.

Implementing the emergency stop function


For safety reasons, install the emergency stop devices at each operator control station
and at other operating stations where the emergency stop may be needed. Implement
the emergency stop according to relevant standards.
Note: You can use the Safe torque off function of the drive to implement the Emergency
stop function.

Implementing the Safe torque off function


See The Safe torque off function (page 211).

Implementing the power loss ride-through function


If the incoming supply voltage is cut off, the drive will continue to operate by utilizing
the kinetic energy of the rotating motor. The drive will be fully operational as long as the
motor rotates and generates energy to the drive.
If you equip the drive with a main contactor or breaker, make sure that it restores the
drive input power after a short break. The contactor must either re-connect after the
break automatically, or remain closed over the break. Depending on the contactor control
circuit design, this can require an additional hold circuit, uninterruptible auxiliary power
supply or auxiliary power supply buffering.
Note: If the power loss lasts so long that the drive trips on undervoltage, a fault reset
and a fresh start command is required to continue operation.
Implement the power-loss ride-through function as follows:
1. Enable the power-loss ride-through function of the drive (parameter 30.31).
2. If the installation is equipped with a main contactor, prevent its tripping at the input
power break. For example, use a time delay relay (hold) in the contactor control
circuit.
3. Enable the automatic restart of the motor after a short power supply break:
• Set the start mode to automatic (parameter 21.01 or 21.19, depending on the
motor control mode being used).
• Define the automatic restart time (parameter 21.18).

WARNING!
Make sure that a flying restart of the motor will not cause any danger. If you are
in doubt, do not implement the power loss ride-through function.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 77

Implementing the functions provided by the FSO-xx safety


functions module
You can order the drive with an FSO-12 or FSO-21 safety functions module (option
+Q972 or +Q973) which enables the implementation of functions such as Safe brake
control (SBC), Safe stop 1 (SS1), Safe stop emergency (SSE), Safely limited speed
(SLS) and Safe maximum speed (SMS).
The settings of the FSO-xx module have default values when delivered from the factory.
The wiring of the external safety circuit and configuration of the FSO-xx module are the
responsibility of the user.
The FSO-xx module reserves the standard Safe torque off (STO) connection of the
drive control unit. STO can still be utilized by other safety circuits through the FSO-xx.
See the appropriate manual for more information.

Using power factor compensation capacitors with the drive


Power factor compensation is not needed with AC drives. However, if a drive is to be
connected in a system with compensation capacitors installed, note the following
restrictions.

WARNING!
Do not connect power factor compensation capacitors or harmonic filters to the
motor cables (between the drive and the motor). They are not meant to be used
with AC drives and can cause permanent damage to the drive or themselves.

If there are power factor compensation capacitors in parallel with the input of the drive:
1. Do not connect a high-power capacitor to the power line while the drive is connected.
The connection will cause voltage transients that may trip or even damage the drive.
2. If capacitor load is increased/decreased step by step when the AC drive is connected
to the power line, make sure that the connection steps are low enough not to cause
voltage transients that would trip the drive.
3. Make sure that the power factor compensation unit is suitable for use in systems
with AC drives, ie, harmonic generating loads. In such systems, the compensation
unit should typically be equipped with a blocking reactor or harmonic filter.
78 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation

Using a safety switch between the drive and the motor


ABB recommends to install a safety switch between the permanent magnet motor and
the drive output. The switch is needed to isolate the motor from the drive during
maintenance work on the drive.

Implementing an ATEX-certified motor thermal protection


With option +Q971, the drive provides ATEX-certified safe motor disconnection without
contactor using the drive Safe torque off function. To implement the thermal protection
of a motor in explosive atmosphere (Ex motor), you must also:
• use an ATEX-certified Ex motor
• order an ATEX-certified thermistor protection module for the drive (option +L537), or
acquire and install an ATEX-compliant protection relay
• do the necessary connections.
For more information, see:

Controlling a contactor between drive and motor


The control of the output contactor depends on how you use the drive, that is, which
motor control mode and which motor stop mode you select.
If you have the DTC motor control mode and the motor ramp stop mode selected, use
this operation sequence to open the contactor:
1. Give a stop command to the drive.
2. Wait until the drive decelerates the motor to zero speed.
3. Open the contactor.
If you have the DTC motor control mode and the motor coast stop, or scalar control
mode selected, open the contactor as follows:
1. Give a stop command to the drive.
2. Open the contactor.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 79

WARNING!
When the DTC motor control mode is in use, never open the output contactor
while the drive controls the motor. The DTC motor control operates extremely
fast, much faster than it takes for the contactor to open its contacts. When the
contactor starts opening while the drive controls the motor, the DTC control will
try to maintain the load current by immediately increasing the drive output voltage
to the maximum. This will damage, or even burn, the contactor completely.

Implementing a bypass connection


If bypassing is required, employ mechanically or electrically interlocked contactors
between the motor and the drive and between the motor and the power line. Make sure
with interlocking that the contactors cannot be closed simultaneously. The installation
must be clearly marked as defined in IEC/EN/UL 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for
example, “THIS MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY”.

WARNING!
Never connect the drive output to the electrical power network. The connection
may damage the drive.

Protecting the contacts of relay outputs


Inductive loads (relays, contactors, motors) cause voltage transients when switched off.
The relay contacts on the drive control unit are protected with varistors (250 V) against
overvoltage peaks. In spite of this, it is highly recommended that inductive loads are
equipped with noise attenuating circuits (varistors, RC filters [AC] or diodes [DC]) to
minimize the EMC emission at switch-off. If not suppressed, the disturbances may
connect capacitively or inductively to other conductors in the control cable and form a
risk of malfunction in other parts of the system.
Install the protective component as close to the inductive load as possible. Do not install
protective components at the relay outputs.

Safety
WARNING!
If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation or
maintenance work. Obey the safety instructions of the drive. If you ignore them,
injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.

Required tools
To do the electrical installation, you need these tools:
• wire stripper
• screwdriver set (Torx, flat and/or Phillips, as appropriate)
• torque wrench.

Grounding the motor cable shield at the motor end


For minimum radio-frequency interference, ground the cable shield 360 degrees at the
cable entry of the motor terminal box.
82 Electrical installation – IEC

Measuring the insulation


■ Measuring the insulation resistance of the drive
WARNING!
Do not do any voltage withstand or insulation resistance tests on any part of the
drive as testing can damage the drive. Every drive has been tested for insulation
between the main circuit and the chassis at the factory. Also, there are
voltage-limiting circuits inside the drive which cut down the testing voltage
automatically.

■ Measuring the insulation resistance of the input power cable


Before you connect the input power cable to the drive, measure its insulation resistance
according to local regulations.

■ Measuring the insulation resistance of the motor and motor cable


WARNING!
Obey the safety instructions of the drive. If you ignore them, injury or death,
or damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrical
professional, do not do installation, commissioning or maintenance work.

1. Do the steps in section Electrical safety precautions (page 17) before you start the
work.
2. Make sure that the motor cable is disconnected from the drive output terminals.
3. Measure the insulation resistance between each phase conductor and the protective
earth conductor. Use a measuring voltage of 1000 V DC. The insulation resistance
of an ABB motor must be more than 100 Mohm (reference value at 25 °C [77 °F]).
For the insulation resistance of other motors, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: Moisture inside the motor reduces the insulation resistance. If you think that
there is moisture in the motor, dry the motor and do the measurement again.

Grounding system compatibility check


The standard drive can be installed to a symmetrically grounded TN-S system.
For other systems, see sections EMC filter option +E200 or +E202 and Ground-to-phase
varistors below.

■ EMC filter option +E200 or +E202


A drive with EMC filter options +E200 and +E202 connected can be installed to a
symmetrically grounded TN-S system. If you install the drive to another system, you
may need to disconnect the EMC filter. See section When to disconnect EMC filter
(options +E200 and +E202) or ground-to-phase varistor: TN-S, IT, corner-grounded
delta and midpoint-grounded delta systems and TT systems (page 84).

WARNING!
Do not install the drive with the EMC filter options +E200 and +E202 connected
to a system that the filter is not suitable for. This can cause danger, or damage
the drive.

Note: When EMC filter +E200 or +E202 is disconnected, the drive EMC compatibility
is considerably reduced.

■ Ground-to-phase varistors
A standard drive with the ground-to-phase varistor connected can be installed to a
symmetrically grounded TN-S system. If you install the drive to another system, you
may need to disconnect the varistor. See sections When to disconnect EMC filter (options
+E200 and +E202) or ground-to-phase varistor: TN-S, IT, corner-grounded delta and
midpoint-grounded delta systems and TT systems (page 84).

WARNING!
Do not install the drive with the ground-to-phase varistor connected to a system
that the varistor is not suitable for. If you do, the varistor circuit can be damaged.
84 Electrical installation – IEC

■ Corner-grounded and midpoint-grounded 525…690 V delta systems


WARNING!
Do not install the drive on a 525…690 V corner-grounded or midpoint-grounded
delta system. Disconnecting the EMC filter and ground-to-phase varistor does
not prevent damage to the drive.

■ Identifying the grounding system of the electrical power network


WARNING!
Only a qualified electrical professional may do the work instructed in this section.
Depending on the installation site, the work may even be categorized as live
working. Continue only if you are an electrical professional certified for the work.
Obey the local regulations. If you ignore them, injury or death can occur.

To identify the grounding system, examine the supply transformer connection. See the
applicable electrical diagrams of the building. If that is not possible, measure these
voltages at the distribution board, and use the table to define the grounding system
type.
1. input voltage line to line (UL-L)
2. input voltage line 1 to ground (UL1-G)
3. input voltage line 2 to ground (UL2-G)

1 Two protective earth (ground) conductors. Drive safety standard IEC/ EN 61800-5-1 requires
two PE conductors, if the cross-sectional area of the PE conductor is less than 10mm2 Cu
or 16 mm2 Al. For example, you can use the cable shield in addition to the fourth conductor.
2 Use a separate grounding cable or a cable with a separate PE conductor for the line side,
if the conductivity of the fourth conductor or shield does not meet the requirements for the
PE conductor.
3 Use a separate grounding cable for the motor side, if the conductivity of the shield is not
sufficient, or if there is no symmetrically constructed PE conductor in the cable.
4 ABB requires 360-degree grounding of the cable shield for the motor cable. ABB also re-
commends it for the input power cable.
5 If necessary, install an external filter (du/dt, common mode, or sine filter). Filters are available
from ABB.
Note: If there is a symmetrically constructed grounding conductor on the motor cable in addition
to the conductive shield, connect the grounding conductor to the grounding terminal at the drive
and motor ends.
Do not use an asymmetrically constructed motor cable for motors above 30 kW. See section
Selecting the power cables (page 62).
Connecting its fourth conductor at the motor end increases bearing currents and causes extra
wear.

Panel bus (Control of several units from one control panel)


One control panel (or PC) can be used to control several drives (or inverter units, supply
units etc.) by constructing a panel bus. This is done by daisy-chaining the panel
connections of the drives. Some drives have the necessary (twin) panel connectors in
the control panel holder; those that do not require the installation of an FDPI-02 module
(available separately). For further information, see the hardware description and FDPI-02
diagnostics and panel interface user’s manual (3AUA0000113618 [English]).
The maximum allowed length of the cable chain is 100 m (328 ft).
1. Connect the panel to one drive using an Ethernet (for example Cat 5e) cable.
• Use Menu - Settings - Edit texts - Drive to give a descriptive name to the drive
• Use parameter 49.01* to assign the drive with a unique node ID number
Electrical installation – IEC 109

• Set other parameters in group 49* if necessary


• Use parameter 49.06* to validate any changes.
*The parameter group is 149 with supply (line-side), brake or DC/DC converter
units.
Repeat the above for each drive.
2. With the panel connected to one unit, link the units using Ethernet cables.
3. Switch on the bus termination on the drive that is farthest from the control panel in
the chain.
• With drives that have the panel mounted on the front cover, move the terminating
switch into the outer position.
• With an FDPI-02 module, move termination switch S2 into the TERMINATED
position.
Make sure that bus termination is off on all other drives.
4. On the control panel, switch on the panel bus functionality (Options - Select drive -
Panel bus). The drive to be controlled can now be selected from the list under
Options - Select drive.
If a PC is connected to the control panel, the drives on the panel bus are automatically
displayed in the Drive composer tool.

Additional information on the connections


■ External power supply for the control unit (XPOW)
The control unit is powered from a 24 V DC, 2 A supply through terminal block XPOW.
Using an external supply is recommended if
• the control unit needs to be kept operational during input power breaks, for example,
because of continuous fieldbus communication
• immediate restart is needed after a power break (that is, no control unit power-up

■ DI6 as a PTC sensor input


PTC sensors can be connected to this input for motor temperature measurement as
follows. The sensor can alternatively be connected to FEN-xx encoder interface module.
At the sensor end of the cable, leave the shields unconnected or ground them indirectly
via a high-frequency capacitor with a few nanofarads, for example 3.3 nF / 630 V. The
shield can also be grounded directly at both ends if they are in the same ground line
with no significant voltage drop between the end points. See the firmware manual of
the inverter unit for parameter settings.

WARNING!
As the inputs pictured above are not insulated according to IEC 60664, the
connection of the motor temperature sensor requires double or reinforced insulation
between motor live parts and the sensor. If the assembly does not fulfill the
requirement, protect the I/O board terminals against contact and do not connected
them to other equipment, or isolate the temperature sensor from the I/O terminals.
Make sure that the voltage does not exceed the maximum allowed voltage over
the PTC sensor.

■ AI1 or AI2 as a Pt100, Pt1000, PTC or KTY84 sensor input


Sensors for motor temperature measurement can be connected between an analog
input and output, an example connection is shown below. (Alternatively, you can connect
the KTY to an FIO-11 or FAIO-01 analog I/O extension module or FEN-xx encoder
interface module.) At the sensor end of the cable, leave the shields unconnected or

■ DIIL input
The DIIL input is used for the connection of safety circuits. The input is parametrized to
stop the unit when the input signal is lost.
Note: This input is NOT SIL or PL certified.

■ The XD2D connector


The XD2D connector provides an RS-485 connection that can be used for
• basic master/follower communication with one master drive and multiple followers,
• fieldbus control through the embedded fieldbus interface (EFB), or
• drive-to-drive (D2D) communication implemented by application programming.
See the firmware manual of the drive for the related parameter settings.
Enable bus termination on the units at the ends of the drive-to-drive link. Disable bus
termination on the intermediate units.
Control units of the drive 133

Use shielded twisted-pair cable with a twisted pair for data and a wire or another pair
for signal ground (nominal impedance 100 to 165 ohm, for example Belden 9842) for
the wiring. For best immunity, ABB recommends high quality cable. Keep the cable as
short as possible. Avoid unnecessary loops and parallel runs near power cables such
as motor cables.

(pH 5-9 for metal, pH 5-7 for plastic).

WARNING!
Prevent water from entering the drive. Never use excessive amount of water,
a hose, steam, etc.

Cleaning the heatsink


The drive module heatsink fins pick up dust from the cooling air. The drive runs into
overtemperature warnings and faults if the heatsink is not clean. When necessary, clean
the heatsink as follows.

WARNING!
Use the required personal protective equipment. Wear protective gloves and long
sleeves. Some parts have sharp edges.

WARNING!
Use a vacuum cleaner with antistatic hose and nozzle, and wear a grounding
wristband. Using a normal vacuum cleaner creates static discharges which can
damage circuit boards.

156 Maintenance

Capacitors
The DC link of the drive contains several electrolytic capacitors. Operating time, load,
and surrounding air temperature have an effect on the life of the capacitors. Capacitor
life can be extended by decreasing the surrounding air temperature.
Capacitor failure is usually followed by damage to the unit and an input cable fuse failure,
or a fault trip. If you think that any capacitors in the drive have failed, contact ABB.

■ Reforming the capacitors


The capacitors must be reformed if the drive has not been powered (either in storage
or unused) for a year or more. The manufacturing date is on the type designation label.
For information on reforming the capacitors, see Capacitor reforming instructions
(3BFE64059629 [English]) in the ABB Library (https://library.abb.com/en).

Control panel
See ACx-AP-x Assistant control panels user’s manual (3AUA0000085685 [English]).

Drive LEDs
There is a green POWER and a red FAULT LED visible when the control panel is
removed. If a control panel is attached to the drive, switch to remote control otherwise
a fault will be generated, and then remove the panel to be able to see the LEDs. See
the firmware manual on how to switch to remote control.

The table below describes the drive LED indications.

1. Stop the drive and do the steps in section Electrical safety precautions (page 17)
before you start the work.
2. Move the battery ejector into the battery slot on the battery.
3. Carefully pull the battery out of the battery holder.
4. Carefully put a new CR2032 battery into the battery holder.
Maintenance 159

Replacing safety functions modules (FSO-12, option +Q973


and FSO-21, option +Q972)
Do not repair safety functions modules. Replace a faulty module with a new one as
described in section Installation of safety functions modules (page 104).
160 Maintenance

Functional safety components


The mission time of functional safety components is 20 years which equals the time
during which failure rates of electronic components remain constant. This applies to the
components of the standard Safe torque off circuit as well as any modules, relays and,
typically, any other components that are part of functional safety circuits.
The expiry of mission time terminates the certification and SIL/PL classification of the
safety function. The following options exist:
• Renewal of the whole drive and all optional functional safety module(s) and
components.
• Renewal of the components in the safety function circuit. In practice, this is economical
only with larger drives that have replaceable circuit boards and other components
such as relays.
Note that some of the components may already have been renewed earlier, restarting
their mission time. The remaining mission time of the whole circuit is however determined
by its oldest component.
Contact your local ABB service representative for more information.

Derating for output voltage boost


The drive can output a higher motor voltage than the supply voltage. This may require
derating of the drive output power depending on the difference between the supply
voltage and the output voltage to the motor for continuous operation.

400 V and 500 V drive types


This graph shows the required derating for -3 and -5 (400 V and 500 V) drive types.

Example 1: Pn for -045A-3 is 22 kW. The supply voltage (U) is 350 V.


U/Un = 350 V / 400 V = 0.875. From the graph we can see that P/Pn = 0.975.
The derated power P = 0.975 × 22 kW = 21.45 kW.
To boost the output voltage to correspond the nominal supply voltage 400 V, increase
the DC voltage to 400 V × √2 = 567 V.

Example 2: Pn for -124A-5 is 55 kW. The supply voltage (U) is 450 V.


U/Un = 450 V / 500 V = 0.9. From the graph we can see that P/Pn = 1.00.
The derated power P = 1.00 × 55 kW = 55 kW.
To boost the output voltage to correspond the nominal supply voltage 500 V, increase
the DC voltage to 500 V × √2 = 707 V.

Fuses (IEC)
Fuses protect the input cable in short-circuit situations. They also restrict drive damage
and prevent damage to adjoining equipment in case of a short-circuit inside the drive.
ABB recommends the high speed aR fuses specified below. The gG fuses can be used
for frames R3 and R6 if they operate rapidly enough (max. 0.1 seconds). The operating
time depends on the supply network impedance and the cross-sectional area and length
of the supply cable. Obey the local regulations.
Note: Fuses from other manufacturers can be used if they meet the ratings and the
melting curve of the fuse does not exceed the melting curve of the fuse mentioned in
the table.

■ Calculating the short-circuit current of the installation


Check that the short-circuit current of the installation is at least the value given in the
fuse table.
The short-circuit current of the installation can be calculated as follows:

U
Ik2-ph =
2· Rc2 + (Zk + Xc)2

where

Ik2-ph Short-circuit current in symmetrical two-phase short-circuit


U Network line-to-line voltage (V)
Rc Cable resistance (ohm)
Zk Zk = zk · UN2/SN = transformer impedance (ohm)
zk Transformer impedance (%)
UN Transformer rated voltage (V)
SN Nominal apparent power of the transformer (kVA)
Xc Cable reactance (ohm)

Calculation example
Drive:
• ACS880-11-…
• supply voltage = 410 V
Transformer:
• rated power Sn = 600 kVA
• rated secondary voltage (supply for drive supply) Un = 430 V
Technical data 177

• transformer impedance zk = 7.2%


Supply cable:
• length = 170 m
• resistance/length = 0.398 ohm/km
• reactance/length = 0.082 ohm/km.

UN2 (430 V)2


Zk = zk · = 0.072 · = 22.19 mohm
SN 600 kVA
ohm
Rc = 170 m · 0.398 = 67.66 mohm
km

ohm
Xc = 170 m · 0.082 = 13.94 mohm
km
410 V
Ik2-ph = = 2.7 kA
2· (67.66 mohm)2 + (22.19 mohm + 13.94 mohm)2

The calculated short-circuit current 2.7 kA is higher than the minimum short-circuit
current of the drive gG fuse type OFAF000H100 (1000 A). -> The 500 V gG fuse (ABB
Control OFAF000H100) can be used.

Fuses (UL)
The UL Listed fuses in this manual are required for branch circuit protection and required
per NEC. The drives are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than
100 kA symmetrical amperes (RMS) at 480 V maximum when protected by the fuses
described below.
Class T fuses are recommended below. Also allowed are UL Listed 248-8 Class J fast
acting, time delay, and high speed fuses, 248-4 Class CC fast acting fuses and 248-17
Class CF fast acting and time delay fuses of the same nominal voltage and current
rating.

1. Fuses are required as part of the installation, are not included in the base drive
configuration and must be provided by others.
2. Fuses with a higher current rating than specified must not be used.
3. The UL listed fuses recommended by ABB are the required branch circuit protection
per NEC. Circuit breakers listed in section Circuit breakers (UL) are also acceptable
as branch circuit protection.
4. The recommended size or smaller UL listed 248 fast acting, time delay, or high
speed fuses must be used to maintain the UL listing of the drive. Additional protection
can be used. Refer to local codes and regulations.
5. A fuse of a different class can be used at the high fault rating where the Ipeak and
I2t of the new fuse is not greater than that of the specified fuse.
6. UL listed 248 fast acting, time delay, or high speed fuses from other manufacturers
can be used if they meet the same class and rating requirements specified in the
rules above.
7. When installing a drive, always follow ABB installation instructions, NEC requirements
and local codes.
8. Alternative fuses can be used if they meet certain characteristics. For acceptable
fuses, see the manual supplement (3AXD50000645015).

Circuit breakers (UL)


■ ABB inverse time circuit breakers
The drives are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 65 kA
symmetrical amperes (RMS) at 480 V maximum when protected by circuit breakers in
the tables below.
Additional fuse protection is not required when using the circuit breakers herein.
Circuit breakers are not required to be in the same enclosure as the drive.
For more information see the manual supplement (3AXD50000645015 [English])
1. For UL Type Open, Type 1 or UL Type 12 drives no Enclosure Minimum Volume
is required but the drive must be mounted inside an enclosure.
2. If combining a drive with no Enclosure Minimum Volume and others with an
Enclosure Minimum Volume specified, start with the largest specified Enclosure
Minimum Volume listed and add the drive volumes for the other drives.
3. When only mounting drives with no Enclosure Minimum Volume specified, there
are no restrictions on the enclosure size. Always follow air clearances specified in
the drive hardware manuals for sufficient ventilation around each drive.
4. UL Type Open, Type 1 and Type 12 drives can be used inside of the enclosure.
Listed drive volumes in the table apply for all three UL Types when installing multiple
drives in the enclosure.
5. The ABB circuit breaker part number listed in the table is a base part number.
• Symbol α represents 80% or 100% allowable continuous current. Options allowed
are U, Q, C and D.
• Symbol β represents the number of poles for the breaker. Options allowed are 3
and 4.
• Symbol # represents trip units. Trip units allowed include A through C, E through
L, P through Z. If using Ekip breakers, set the overload current of the circuit breaker
equal to or less than the value shown in the “CB Maximum Current” column in
the tables below.
• The digits indicated with an “*” represent accessories for the breakers and have
no impact on the drive UL listing or performance or rating of the breaker.

6. Ratings in the tables are maximum for the given circuit breaker frame size. Breakers
with lower current ratings are also allowed if they have the same frame size,
interrupting rating, and voltage rating.
7. Using a circuit breaker with a lower kAIC rating is not allowed even if the available
short-circuit current is less than 65 kA.

Note 1: With motor cables longer than 150 m (492 ft) or switching fre-
quencies higher than default, the EMC Directive requirements may not
be fulfilled.
Note 2: Longer motor cables cause a motor voltage decrease which
limits the available motor power. The decrease depends on the motor
cable length and characteristics. Contact ABB for more information. Note
that a sine filter (optional) at the drive output also causes a voltage de-
crease.

Disposal The main parts of the drive can be recycled to preserve natural resources
and energy. Product parts and materials should be dismantled and
separated.
Generally all metals, such as steel, aluminum, copper and its alloys, and
precious metals can be recycled as material. Plastics, rubber, cardboard
and other packaging material can be used in energy recovery. Printed
circuit boards and large electrolytic capacitors need selective treatment
according to IEC 62635 guidelines. To aid recycling, plastic parts are
marked with an appropriate identification code.
Contact your local distributor for further information on environmental
aspects and recycling instructions for professional recyclers. End of life
treatment must follow international and local regulations.

The Safe torque off function
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes the Safe torque off (STO) function of the drive and gives
instructions for its use.

Description
WARNING!
In case of parallel-connected drives or dual-winding motors, the STO must be
activated on each drive to remove the torque from the motor.

The Safe torque off function can be used, for example, as the final actuator device of
safety circuits that stop the drive in case of danger (such as an emergency stop circuit).
Another typical application is a prevention of unexpected start-up function that enables
short-time maintenance operations like cleaning or work on non-electrical parts of the
machinery without switching off the power supply to the drive.
When activated, the Safe torque off function disables the control voltage for the power
semiconductors of the drive output stage (A, see the diagrams below), thus preventing
the drive from generating the torque required to rotate the motor. If the motor is running
when Safe torque off is activated, it coasts to a stop.
The Safe torque off function has a redundant architecture, that is, both channels must
be used in the safety function implementation. The safety data given in this manual is
calculated for redundant use, and does not apply if both channels are not used.

■ Compliance with the European Machinery Directive and the UK Supply


of Machinery (Safety) Regulations
See the technical data.
The Declarations of conformity are shown at the end of this chapter.
The Safe torque off function 213

Wiring
For the electrical specifications of the STO connection, see the technical data of the
control unit.

■ Activation switch
In the wiring diagrams, the activation switch has the designation [K]. This represents a
component such as a manually operated switch, an emergency stop push button switch,
or the contacts of a safety relay or safety PLC.
• In case a manually operated activation switch is used, the switch must be of a type
that can be locked out to the open position.
• The contacts of the switch or relay must open/close within 200 ms of each other.
• An FSO-xx safety functions module or an FPTC-0x thermistor protection module can
also be used. For more information, see the module documentation.

■ Cable types and lengths


• Double-shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended.
• Maximum cable lengths:
• 300 m (1000 ft) between activation switch [K] and drive control unit
• 60 m (200 ft) between multiple drives
• 60 m (200 ft) between external power supply and first control unit

Note: A short-circuit in the wiring between the switch and an STO terminal causes a
dangerous fault. Therefore, it is recommended to use a safety relay (including wiring
diagnostics) or a wiring method (shield grounding, channel separation) which reduces
or eliminates the risk caused by the short-circuit.
Note: The voltage at the STO input terminals of the control unit must be at least 17 V DC
to be interpreted as “1”.
The pulse tolerance of the input channels is 1 ms.

■ Grounding of protective shields


• Ground the shield in the cabling between the activation switch and the control unit at
the control unit only.
• Ground the shield in the cabling between two control units at one control unit only.

The Safe torque off function 217

Operation principle
1. The Safe torque off activates (the activation switch is opened, or safety relay contacts
open).
2. The STO inputs of the drive control unit de-energize.
3. The control unit cuts off the control voltage from the output IGBTs.
4. The control program generates an indication as defined by parameter 31.22 (see
the firmware manual of the drive).
The parameter selects which indications are given when one or both STO signals
are switched off or lost. The indications also depend on whether the drive is running
or stopped when this occurs.
Note: This parameter does not affect the operation of the STO function itself. The
STO function will operate regardless of the setting of this parameter: a running drive
will stop upon removal of one or both STO signals, and will not start until both STO
signals are restored and all faults reset.
Note: The loss of only one STO signal always generates a fault as it is interpreted
as a malfunction of STO hardware or wiring.
5. The motor coasts to a stop (if running). The drive cannot restart while the activation
switch or safety relay contacts are open. After the contacts close, a reset may be
needed (depending on the setting of parameter 31.22). A new start command is
required to start the drive.
218 The Safe torque off function

Start-up including validation test


To ensure the safe operation of a safety function, validation is required. The final
assembler of the machine must validate the function by performing a validation test.
The test must be performed
• at initial start-up of the safety function
• after any changes related to the safety function (circuit boards, wiring, components,
settings, etc.)
• after any maintenance work related to the safety function
• at the proof test of the safety function
• after a drive firmware update.

■ Competence
The validation test of the safety function must be carried out by a competent person
with adequate expertise and knowledge of the safety function as well as functional
safety, as required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6. The test procedures and report must be
documented and signed by this person.

■ Validation test reports


Signed validation test reports must be stored in the logbook of the machine. The report
shall include documentation of start-up activities and test results, references to failure
reports and resolution of failures. Any new validation tests performed due to changes
or maintenance shall be logged into the logbook.

■ Validation test procedure


After wiring the Safe torque off function, validate its operation as follows.
Note: If the drive is equipped with safety option +Q972, +Q973 or +Q982, also do the
procedure shown in the FSO-xx module documentation.

Action

WARNING!
Obey the safety instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.

Make sure that the drive can be run and stopped freely during start-up.

Stop the drive (if running), switch the input power off and isolate the drive from the power
line using a disconnector.

Check the STO circuit connections against the wiring diagram.

Close the disconnector and switch the power on.


The Safe torque off function 219

Action

Test the operation of the STO function when the motor is stopped.
• Give a stop command for the drive (if running) and wait until the motor shaft is at a
standstill.
Make sure that the drive operates as follows:
• Open the STO circuit. The drive generates an indication if one is defined for the 'stopped'
state in parameter 31.22 (see the firmware manual).
• Give a start command to verify that the STO function blocks the drive's operation. The
drive generates a warning. The motor should not start.
• Close the STO circuit.
• Reset any active faults. Restart the drive and check that the motor runs normally.

Test the operation of the STO function when the motor is running.
• Start the drive and make sure the motor is running.
• Open the STO circuit. The motor should stop. The drive generates an indication if one
is defined for the 'running' state in parameter 31.22 (see the firmware manual).
• Reset any active faults and try to start the drive.
• Make sure that the motor stays at a standstill and the drive operates as described above
in testing the operation when the motor is stopped.
• Close the STO circuit.
• Reset any active faults. Restart the drive and check that the motor runs normally.

Test the operation of the failure detection of the drive. The motor can be stopped or running.
• Open the 1st channel of the STO circuit. If the motor was running, it should coast to a
stop. The drive generates a FA81 Safe Torque Off 1 loss fault indication (see the firmware
manual).
• Give a start command to verify that the STO function blocks the drive's operation. The
motor should not start.
• Close the STO circuit.
• Reset any active faults. Restart the drive and check that the motor runs normally.
• Open the 2nd channel of the STO circuit. If the motor was running, it should coast to a
stop. The drive generates a FA82 Safe Torque Off 2 loss fault indication (see the firmware
manual).
• Give a start command to verify that the STO function blocks the drive's operation. The
motor should not start.
• Close the STO circuit.
• Reset any active faults. Restart the drive and check that the motor runs normally.

Document and sign the validation test report which verifies that the safety function is safe
and accepted for operation.
220 The Safe torque off function

Use
1. Open the activation switch, or activate the safety functionality that is wired to the
STO connection.
2. The STO inputs on the drive control unit de-energize, and the control unit cuts off
the control voltage from the output IGBTs.
3. The control program generates an indication as defined by parameter 31.22 (see
the firmware manual of the drive).
4. The motor coasts to a stop (if running). The drive will not restart while the activation
switch or safety relay contacts are open.
5. Deactivate the STO by closing the activation switch, or resetting the safety
functionality that is wired to the STO connection.
6. Reset any faults before restarting.

WARNING!
The Safe torque off function does not disconnect the voltage of the main and
auxiliary circuits from the drive. Therefore maintenance work on electrical parts
of the drive or the motor can only be carried out after isolating the drive from the
supply and all other voltage sources.

WARNING!
The drive cannot detect or memorize any changes in the STO circuitry when the
drive control unit is not powered. If both STO circuits are closed and a level-type
start signal is active when the power is restored, it is possible that the drive starts
without a fresh start command. Take this into account in the risk assessment of
the system.

WARNING!
(With permanent magnet or synchronous reluctance [SynRM] motors only)
In case of a multiple IGBT power semiconductor failure, the drive can produce an
alignment torque which maximally rotates the motor shaft by 180/p degrees (with
permanent magnet motors) or 180/2p degrees (with synchronous reluctance
[SynRM] motors) regardless of the activation of the Safe torque off function. p
denotes the number of pole pairs.

Notes:
• If a running drive is stopped by using the Safe torque off function, the drive will cut
off the motor supply voltage and the motor will coast to a stop. If this causes danger
or is not otherwise acceptable, stop the drive and machinery using the appropriate
stop mode before activating the Safe torque off function.
The Safe torque off function 221

• The Safe torque off function overrides all other functions of the drive.
• The Safe torque off function is ineffective against deliberate sabotage or misuse.
• The Safe torque off function has been designed to reduce the recognized hazardous
conditions. In spite of this, it is not always possible to eliminate all potential hazards.
The assembler of the machine must inform the final user about the residual risks.
222 The Safe torque off function

Maintenance
After the operation of the circuit is validated at start-up, the STO function shall be
maintained by periodic proof testing. In high demand mode of operation, the maximum
proof test interval is 20 years. In low demand mode of operation, the maximum proof
test interval is 5 or 2 years; see section Safety data (page 224). It is assumed that all
dangerous failures of the STO circuit are detected by the proof test. To perform the
proof test, do the Validation test procedure (page 218).
Note: See also the Recommendation of Use CNB/M/11.050 (published by the European
co-ordination of Notified Bodies) concerning dual-channel safety-related systems with
electromechanical outputs:
• When the safety integrity requirement for the safety function is SIL 3 or PL e (cat. 3
or 4), the proof test for the function must be performed at least every month.
• When the safety integrity requirement for the safety function is SIL 2 (HFT = 1) or PL
d (cat. 3), the proof test for the function must be performed at least every 12 months.

The STO function of the drive does not contain any electromechanical components.
In addition to proof testing, it is a good practice to check the operation of the function
when other maintenance procedures are carried out on the machinery.
Include the Safe torque off operation test described above in the routine maintenance
program of the machinery that the drive runs.
If any wiring or component change is needed after start-up, or the parameters are
restored, do the test given in section Validation test procedure (page 218).
Use only spare parts approved by ABB.
Record all maintenance and proof test activities in the machine logbook.

■ Competence
The maintenance and proof test activities of the safety function must be carried out by
a competent person with adequate expertise and knowledge of the safety function as
well as functional safety, as required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6.
The Safe torque off function 223

Fault tracing
The indications given during the normal operation of the Safe torque off function are
selected by drive control program parameter 31.22.
The diagnostics of the Safe torque off function cross-compare the status of the two STO
channels. In case the channels are not in the same state, a fault reaction function is
performed and the drive trips on an “STO hardware failure” fault. An attempt to use the
STO in a non-redundant manner, for example activating only one channel, will trigger
the same reaction.
See the firmware manual of the drive control program for the indications generated by
the drive, and for details on directing fault and warning indications to an output on the
control unit for external diagnostics.
Any failures of the Safe torque off function must be reported to ABB.

T1 IEC 61508-6 Proof test interval. T1 is a parameter used to define the


probabilistic failure rate (PFH or PFD) for the safety function
or subsystem. Performing a proof test at a maximum interval
of T1 is required to keep the SIL capability valid. The same
interval must be followed to keep the PL capability (EN ISO
13849) valid.
See also section Maintenance.

TM EN ISO 13849-1 Mission time: the period of time covering the intended use
of the safety function/device. After the mission time elapses,
the safety device must be replaced. Note that any TM values
given cannot be regarded as a guarantee or warranty.
