14 Safety instructions

General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance


These instructions are for all personnel that install the drive and do maintenance work
on it.
WARNING! Follow these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Handle the drive carefully.
• Use safety shoes with a metal toe cap to avoid foot injury.
• Keep the drive in its package or protect it otherwise from dust and burr from
drilling and grinding until you install it.
• Protect also the installed drive against dust and burr. Electrically conductive
debris inside the drive may cause damage or malfunction.
• Vacuum clean the area below the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive
cooling fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Do not cover the air inlet and outlet when the drive runs.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. For more information, see sections
Checking the installation site on page 49 and on page 128.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that the drive covers are on.
Keep the covers on during the operation.
• Before you adjust the drive operation limits, make sure that the motor and all
driven equipment can operate throughout the set operation limits.
• Before you activate automatic fault reset 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. If these functions are
activated, the installation must be clearly marked as defined in IEC/EN 61800-5-1,
subclause 6.5.3, for example, "THIS MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY".
• The maximum number of drive power-ups is five in ten minutes. Too frequent
power-ups can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors. The maximum
number of times the circuit can charge is: 100000 (frames R1-R2) and 50000
(frames R3-R4).
If you have connected safety circuits to the drive (for example, emergency stop and
Safe torque off), validate them at the start up.
Note:
• If you select an external source for start command and it is On, the drive will start
immediately after fault reset, unless you configure the drive for pulse start.
• When the control location is not set to Local, the stop key on the control panel will
not stop the drive.
Drives can be repaired only by an authorized person.
Safety instructions 15

Electrical safety in installation, start-up and maintenance


 Precautions before electrical work
These warnings are for all personnel who do work on the drive, motor cable or motor.

WARNING! Follow these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or


damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrician, do
not do the electrical installation or maintenance work. Go through these steps before
you begin any installation or maintenance work.
1. Clearly identify the work location.
2. Disconnect all possible voltage sources.
• Open the main disconnector at the power supply of the drive.
• Make sure that reconnection is not possible. Lock the disconnector to open
position and attach a warning notice to it.
• Disconnect any external power sources from the control circuits before you do
work on the control cables.
CAUTION - Risk of electric shock. After disconnecting the input power, always
wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you
start working on the drive, motor or motor cable.
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 multimeter with an impedance of at least 1 Mohm.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (L1, L2,
L3) and the grounding terminal (PE) is close to 0 V.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+ and UDC-)
and the grounding terminal (PE) is close to 0 V.
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.
16 Safety instructions

 Additional instructions and notes

WARNING! Follow these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or


damage to the equipment can occur.

• If you install the drive on an IT system (an ungrounded power system or a high-
resistance-grounded [over 30 ohms] power system), disconnect the internal EMC
filter; otherwise the system will be connected to ground potential through the EMC
filter capacitors. This can cause danger or damage the drive. See page 78.
Note: Disconnecting the internal EMC filter increases the conducted emission
and reduces the drive EMC compatibility considerably. See section Compliance
with the EN 61800-3:2004 on page 136.
• Use all ELV (extra low voltage) circuits connected to the drive only within a zone
of equipotential bonding, that is, within a zone where all simultaneously
accessible conductive parts are electrically connected to prevent hazardous
voltages appearing between them. You can accomplish this by a proper factory
grounding, that is, make sure that all simultaneously accessible conductive parts
are grounded to the protective earth (PE) bus of the building.
• Do not do insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive or drive modules.
Note:
• The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerous voltage when the input
power is on, regardless of whether the motor is running or not.
• The DC and brake resistor terminals (UDC+, UDC-, R+ and R-) are at a
dangerous voltage.
• External wiring can supply dangerous voltages to the terminals of relay outputs.
• 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.

WARNING! Use a grounding wrist band when you handle the printed circuit
boards. Do not touch the boards unnecessarily. The components on the boards
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Safety instructions 17

 Grounding
These instructions are for all personnel who are responsible for the electrical
installation, including the grounding of the drive.

WARNING! Follow 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 electrician, do not do grounding work.


• Always ground the drive, the motor and adjoining equipment to the protective
earth (PE) bus of the power supply. This is necessary for the personnel safety.
Proper grounding also reduces electromagnetic emission and interference.
• In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to the protective
earth (PE) bus of the power supply.
• Make sure that the conductivity of the protective earth (PE) conductors is
sufficient. See section Selecting the power cables on page 54. Obey the local
regulations.
• Connect the power cable shields to the protective earth (PE) terminals of the
drive.
• Make a 360° grounding of the power and control cable shields at the cable entries
to suppress electromagnetic disturbances.
Note:
• You can use power cable shields as grounding conductors only when their
conductivity is sufficient.
• Standard IEC/EN 61800-5-1 (section 4.3.5.5.2.) requires that as the normal touch
current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC, you must use a fixed
protective earth (PE) connection. In addition,
• install a second protective earth conductor of the same cross-sectional area
as the original protective earthing conductor,
or
• install a protective earth conductor with a cross-section of at least 10 mm2 Cu
or 16 mm 2 Al,
or
• install a device which automatically disconnects the supply if the protective
earth conductor breaks.
18 Safety instructions

Additional instructions for permanent magnet motor drives


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

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

• Do not work on a drive when a rotating permanent magnet motor is connected to


it. A rotating permanent magnet motor energizes the drive including its input
power terminals.
Before installation, start-up and maintenance work on the drive:
• Stop the motor.
• Disconnect the motor from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
• 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.
• Measure that the installation is de-energized.
• Use a multimeter with an impedance of at least 1 Mohm.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V,
T3/W) and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (L1, L2,
L3) and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+, UDC-) and
the grounding (PE) terminal is close to 0 V.
• 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.
Start-up and operation:
• Make sure that the operator cannot run the motor over the rated speed. Motor
overspeed causes overvoltage that can damage or explode the capacitors in the
intermediate circuit of the drive.
Safety instructions 19

General safety in operation


These instructions are for all personnel that operate the drive.
WARNING! Follow these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.

• Do not control the motor with the disconnector at the drive power supply; instead,
use the control panel start and stop keys or commands through the I/O terminals
of the drive.
• 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 automatic fault reset 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. If these functions are
activated, the installation must be clearly marked as defined in IEC/EN 61800-5-1,
subclause 6.5.3, for example, "THIS MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY".
Note: When the control location is not set to Local, the stop key on the control panel
will not stop the drive.

Planning the cabinet
installation
Contents of this chapter
This chapter guides in planning the installation of a drive module into a user-defined
cabinet. The issues discussed are essential for safe and trouble-free use of the drive
system.
Note: The installation examples in this manual are provided only to help the installer
in designing the installation.

WARNING! 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.
38 Planning the cabinet installation

Cabinet construction
 Cabinet frame
Make sure... 
The cabinet frame is sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive components, control
circuitry and other equipment installed in it.
The cabinet protects the drive module against contact and meets the requirements for
dust and humidity. See data for relative humidity and contamination under Ambient
conditions on page 132.
 Disposition of devices
Check that ...
The layout is spacious enough for easy installation and maintenance. There should be
sufficient space for cooling air flow, obligatory clearances, cables and cable support
structures.
See the layout example in Cooling and degrees of protection on page 42.
 Grounding of mounting structures
Make sure ...
Proper grounding of
• all cross-members or shelves on which the drive system components are mounted
• the components through their fastening points to the installation base.
Note: It is recommended to mount the EMC filter (if present) and the drive module on the
same mounting plate.
The connecting surfaces are left unpainted.
Planning the cabinet installation 39

Free space requirements


The drive modules can be installed side by side. The alternate ways to install the
modules are illustrated below. See the free space requirements table below.

The cabinet has enough free space for the components for sufficient cooling. Observe
the minimum clearances given for each component.
The air inlets and outlets are equipped with gratings that guide the airflow, protect
against contact, and prevent water splashes from entering the cabinet.
The drawing below shows two typical cabinet cooling solutions. The air inlet is at the
bottom of the cabinet, while the outlet is at the top, either on the upper part of the door or
on the roof.

Air outlet

Air inlet

The air inlets and outlets are sufficient in size.


Note: In addition to the power loss of the drive module, ventilate the heat dissipated by
cables and other additional equipment.
Cooling of the modules is arranged such that the requirements meet the data in Cooling
on page 130.
Note: The values apply to continuous nominal load. If the load is less than nominal, less
cooling air is required.
Ambient temperature is within the limits specified in Ambient conditions on page 132.
The installation site is sufficiently ventilated.
In IP22 cabinets, the internal cooling fans of the modules are usually sufficient to keep
the component temperatures low enough.
In IP54 cabinets, thick filter mats are used to prevent water splashes from entering the
cabinet. This entails the installation of additional cooling equipment, such as a hot air
exhaust fan.

Outside the cabinet


Prevent hot air circulation outside the cabinet by leading the outcoming hot air away
from the area where the inlet air to the cabinet is taken. Possible solutions are listed
below:
• gratings that guide airflow at the air inlet and outlet
• air inlet and outlet at different sides of the cabinet
• cool air inlet in the lower part of the front door and an extra exhaust fan on the roof
of the cabinet.

Inside the cabinet


Prevent hot air circulation inside the cabinet with leak-proof air baffle plates. No
gaskets are usually required.
44 Planning the cabinet installation

 Cabinets with multiple modules


The hot air from a drive module must not enter another module. In a cabinet with
multiple modules, the practical way is to install a wall to separate the cool area (at the
front part of the cabinet) from the hot area (back part). The wall can be fastened to
two vertical pillars on both left and right.
Since the air outlet at the top of the modules points directly upwards, the air must be
guided to the hot area using separate airflow guides. See the example below.

 Cabinet heaters
Use a cabinet heater if there is a risk of condensation in the cabinet. Although the
primary function of the heater is to keep the air dry, it may also be required for heating
at low temperatures. When placing the heater, follow the instructions provided by its
manufacturer.

Planning the electrical
installation
Contents of this chapter
This chapter contains instructions for planning the electrical installation of the drive,
for example, for checking the compatibility of the motor and drive, selecting cables,
protections and cable routing.

WARNING! Installation must be designed and done according to the


applicable local laws and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability
whatsoever for any installation which breaches the local laws and/or other
regulations.
If recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience
problems that the warranty does not cover.

Checking the compatibility of the motor and drive


Use an asynchronous AC induction motor or a permanent magnet motor with the
drive. Several induction motors can be connected to the drive at a time but only one
permanent magnet motor can be connected to the drive at a time.
Make sure that the motor and the drive are compatible according to the Ratings on
page 112. The ratings table lists the typical motor power for each drive type.
54 Planning the electrical installation

Selecting the supply disconnecting device


According to safety regulations, equip each drive with a supply disconnecting device.
Install a hand-operated input disconnecting device between the AC power source
and the drive.
Note: You must be able to lock the disconnecting device to the open position for
installation and maintenance work.

 Requirements in European Union (EU) countries


To meet the European Union Directives, 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 (EN 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 EN 60947-2.

 Requirements in non-EU countries


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

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 current 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 56).
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.

(directly buried). For other conditions, size the cables according to local safety regulations, appropriate input
voltage and the load current of the drive.
Temperature: For IEC, select a cable rated for at least 70 °C maximum permissible
temperature of conductor in continuous use. For North America, power cables
must be rated for 75 °C (167 °F) or higher.
Voltage: 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC.

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.

 Additional guidelines – North America


ABB recommends the use of metallic conduit for power wiring. ABB also
recommends the use of symmetrical shielded VFD cable between drive and motor(s).
This table shows examples of methods for wiring the drive. Refer to NFPA 70 (NEC)
along with state and local codes for the appropriate methods for your application.

Do not run outputs of multiple drives parallel. Bundle each
cable (wiring) together and use separators where possible.
Free air 2)
Enclosures, air handlers, etc. Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable. Allowed internally in
enclosures when in accordance 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.
Planning the electrical installation 59

2)
See NFPA NFPA 70 (NEC), 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 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.

Grounding requirements
This section gives general requirements for grounding the drive. When you plan the
grounding of the drive, obey all the applicable national and local regulations.
The conductivity of the protective earth conductor(s) must be sufficient.
60 Planning the electrical installation

Unless local wiring regulations state otherwise, the cross-sectional area of the
protective earth conductor must agree with the conditions that require automatic
disconnection of the supply required in 411.3.2 of IEC 60364-4-41:2005 and be
capable of withstanding the prospective fault current during the disconnection time of
the protective device. The cross-sectional area of the protective earth conductor must
be selected from the table below or calculated according to 543.1 of IEC 60364-5-54.
This table shows the minimum cross-sectional area of the protective earth conductor
related to the phase conductor size according to IEC/UL 61800-5-1 when the phase
conductor(s) and the protective earth conductor are made of the same metal. If this is
not so, the cross-sectional area of the protective earth 76 Guidelines for planning the
electrical installation conductor must be determined in a manner which produces a
conductance equivalent to that which results from the application of this table.

1)
For the minimum conductor size in IEC installations,refer to Additional grounding
requirements – IEC.

If the protective earth conductor is not part of the input power cable or input power
cable enclosure, the minimum permitted cross-sectional area is:
• 2.5 mm 2
if the conductor is mechanically protected,
or
• 4 mm 2 if the conductor is not mechanically protected. If the equipment is cord-
connected, the protective earth conductor must be the last conductor to be
interrupted if there is a failure in the strain relief mechanism.

 Additional grounding requirements – IEC


This sectiongivesgroundingrequirements accordingtostandardIEC/EN 61800-5-1.
Because the normal touch current of the drive is more than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC:
• the minimum size of the protective earth conductor must comply with the local
safety regulations for high protective earth conductor current equipment, and
• you must use one of these connection methods:
Planning the electrical installation 61

1. a fixed connection and:


• a protective earth conductor with a minimum cross-sectional area of 10 mm2
Cu or 16 mm2 Al (as an alternative when aluminum cables are permitted), or
• a second protective earth conductor of the same cross-sectional area as the
original protective earth conductor,
or
• a device that automatically disconnects the supply if the protective earth
conductor is damaged.
2. a connection with an industrial connector according to IEC 60309 and a minimum
protective earth conductor cross-section of 2.5 mm2 as part of a multi-conductor
power cable. Sufficient strain relief must be provided.
If the protective earth conductor is routed through a plug and socket, or similar means
of disconnection, it must not be possible to disconnect it unless power is
simultaneously removed.
Note: You can use power cable shields as grounding conductors only when their
conductivity is sufficient

 Additional grounding requirements – UL (NEC)


This section gives grounding requirements according to standard UL 61800-5-1.
The protective earth conductor must be sized as specified in Article 250.122 and
table 250.122 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
For cord-connectedequipment, it must notbepossible todisconnect theprotective
earth conductor before power is removed.

Selecting the control cables


 Shielding
Use only shielded control cables.
Use a double-shielded twisted pair cable (figure a below) for analog signals. Use one
individually shielded pair for each signal. Do not use common return for different
analog signals.
62 Planning the electrical installation

A double-shielded cable (figure a) is the best alternative for low-voltage digital


signals, but a single-shielded twisted pair cable (figure b) is also acceptable.

a b

 Signals in separate cables


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

 Signals 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 screen (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL,
Germany) was tested and approved by ABB.

 Control panel cable


In remote use, the cable connecting the control panel to the drive must not exceed
100 m (330 ft). If multiple panels or drives are connected, the total length of the panel
bus must not exceed 100 m (330 ft).
The cable type tested and approved by ABB is used in control panel option kits.
Suitable cables are CAT 5e unshielded or shielded twisted pair cables.

 Drive composer 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 B (control panel) cable. The maximum length of
the cable is 3 m (9.8 ft).

64 Planning the electrical installation

Routing the cables


 General rules
• Route the motor cable away from other cables. The motor cables of several drives
can be put in parallel 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 to decrease
electromagnetic interference caused by the rapid changes in the drive output
voltage.
• Where control cables must cross power cables, make sure they are arranged at
an angle as near to 90 degrees as possible.
• Do not run extra cables through the drive.
• Make sure 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.

 Continuous motor cable shield or enclosure for equipment on the


motor cable
To minimize the emission level when there are safety switches, contactors,
connection boxes or similar equipments on the motor cable between the drive and the
motor:
• European Union: Install the equipment in a metal enclosure with 360 degree
grounding for the shields of both the incoming and outgoing cable, or connect the
shields of the cables otherwise together.
• US: Install the equipment in a metal enclosure in a way that the conduit or motor
cable shielding runs consistently without breaks from the drive to the motor.
66 Planning the electrical installation

Implementing thermal overload and short-circuit protection


 Protecting the drive and input power cable in short-circuits
Protect the drive and input cable with fuses as follows:

~ M
~ 3~

Size the fuses at the distribution board according to instructions given in chapter
Technical data on page 111. The fuses protect 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.
Note: If you want to use circuit breakers, contact ABB for more information.

 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 current of the drive. No additional
protection devices are needed.

 Protecting the drive and the input power and motor cables against
thermal overload
The drive protects itself and the input and motor cables against thermal overload
when the cables are sized according to the nominal current of the drive. No additional
thermal protection devices are needed.

WARNING! If the drive is connected to multiple motors, use a separate circuit


breaker or fuses for protecting each motor cable and motor against overload.
The drive overload protection is tuned for the total motor load. It may not trip due to
an overload in one motor circuit only
Planning the electrical installation 67

 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 user can tune the
thermal model further by feeding in additional motor and load data.
The most common temperature sensors are:
• motor sizes IEC180…225: thermal switch, eg, Klixon
• motor sizes IEC200…250 and larger: PTC or Pt100.
For more information, see ACS880-M04 firmware manual (3AXD50000030629
[English]).

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 is not a personnel safety
or a fire protection feature. The ground fault protective function can be reduced with a
parameter 31.20 Earth fault.
For more information, see ACS880-M04 firmware manual (3AXD50000030629
[English]).

 Residual current device compatibility


The drive is suitable to be used with residual current devices of Type B.
Note: The EMC filter of the drive includes capacitors connected between the main
circuit and the frame. These capacitors and long motor cables increase the ground
leakage current and may cause fault current circuit breakers to function.
68 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 to comply with IEC 61800-5-1:


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 is
not more than the maximum allowed voltage over the sensor.
2. If there is basic insulation between the sensor and the live parts of the motor, or if
the insulation type is not known: 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
a motor temperature sensor to the drive trough an option module (page 68). Make
sure that the voltage does not exceed the maximum allowed voltage over the
sensor.
3. If there is basic insulation between the sensor and the live parts of the motor, or if
the insulation type is not known: 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's live parts and the digital input of the
drive. Make sure that the voltage does not exceed the maximum allowed voltage
over the sensor.

 Connecting a motor temperature sensor to the drive trough 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.

70 Planning the electrical installation

Implementing the Emergency stop function


For safety reasons, install the emergency stop devices at each operator control
station and at other operating stations where emergency stop may be needed.
Design the emergency stop according to relevant standards.
Note: Pressing the stop key on the control panel of the drive does not generate
an emergency stop of the motor or separate the drive from dangerous potential.

Implementing the Safe torque off function


See chapter The Safe torque off function on page 141.

Implementing the Power-loss ride-through function


See ACS880-M04 firmware manual (3AXD50000030629 (English]).

Using a safety switch between the drive and the motor


Install a safety switch between the permanent magnet motor and the drive output.
The safety switch isolates the motor from the drive during maintenance work on the
drive.

Using a contactor between the drive and the motor


The control of the output contactor depends on how you use the drive. See also
Implementing a bypass connection on page 71.
When you use the vector control mode and motor ramp stop, open the contactor as
follows:
1. Give a stop command to the drive.
2. Wait until the drive stops the motor.
3. Open the contactor.
When you use the vector control mode and motor coast stop or the scalar control
mode, open the contactor as follows:
1. Give a stop command to the drive.
2. Open the contactor.

WARNING! In vector control mode, do not open the output contactor when the
drive controls the motor. The vector control operates faster than the contactor
opens its contacts.
If the contactor starts to open when the drive controls the motor, the vector control
tries to maintain the load current and increases the drive output voltage to the
maximum. This can cause damage to the contactor.
Planning the electrical installation 71

Implementing a bypass connection


If the drive needs to be bypassed frequently, use 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 61800-
5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, “THIS MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY”.
For more information refer to the example below.

WARNING! Do not connect the drive output to the electrical power network.
This can cause damage to the drive.

K5 Drive output contactor
Planning the electrical installation 73

 Changing the motor power supply from the drive to direct-on-line


1. Stop the drive and the motor with the drive control panel (drive in local control
mode) or with the external stop signal (drive in remote control mode).
2. Open the main contactor of the drive with S11.
3. Change the motor power supply from the drive to direct-on-line with S40.
4. Wait for 10 seconds to allow the motor magnetization to decrease.
5. Start the motor with S41.

 Changing the motor power supply from direct-on-line to the drive


1. Stop the motor with S42.
2. Change the motor power supply from direct-on-line to the drive with S40.
3. Close the main contactor of the drive with switch S11 (-> turn to position ST for
two seconds and leave in position 1).
4. Start the drive and the motor with the drive control panel (drive in local control
mode) or with the external start signal (drive in remote control mode).
74 Planning the electrical installation

Protecting the contacts of relay outputs


Inductive loads (relays, contactors, motors) cause voltage transients when switched
off. The voltage transients can connect capacitively or inductively to other conductors
and cause a malfunction in the system. To protect the contacts of relay outputs,
• Use a noise attenuating circuit (varistors, RC filters [AC] or diodes [DC]) which
minimizes the EMC emission of inductive loads at switch-off.
• Install the noise attenuating circuit as close as possible to the inductive load.
• Do not install a noise attenuating circuit at the relay output.

Electrical installation
Contents of this chapter
The chapter describes the electrical installation procedure of the drive.

WARNING! Only qualified electricians are allowed to do the work described in


this chapter. Follow the Safety instructions on page 13. If you ignore them,
injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.
Make sure that the drive is disconnected from the input power during installation. If
the drive is already connected to the input power, wait for 5 minutes after
disconnecting the input power.

WARNING! Installation must always be designed and made according to


applicable local laws and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability
whatsoever for any installation that breaches the local laws and/or other regulations.
If recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive system may experience
problems that the warranty does not cover.
76 Electrical installation

Removing the cover assembly


Remove the cover assembly from the ZCU control unit, before installing the option
modules or before connecting the control cables. See also the module layout diagram
on page 29.
Electrical installation 77

Checking the insulation of the assembly


 Drives 
Do not make any voltage tolerance 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. There are also, voltage-limiting circuits inside the drive which cuts down the
testing voltage automatically.
 Input power cable
Check the insulation of the input cable according to local regulations before connecting
it to the drive.
 Motor and motor cable insulation
Check that the motor cable is disconnected from the drive output terminals T1/U, T2/V
and T3/W.
Measure the insulation resistance between the phase conductors and 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 exceed 100 Mohm
(reference value at 25 °C or 77 °F). For the insulation resistance of other motors, please
consult the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: Moisture inside the motor casing will reduce the insulation resistance. If moisture
is suspected, dry the motor and repeat the measurement.

 Break resistor assembly insulation


Check that the resistor cable is connected to the resistor, and disconnected from the
drive output terminals R+ and R-.
At the drive end, connect the R+ and R- conductors of the resistor cable together.
Measure the insulation resistance between the combined conductors and the PE
conductor by using a measuring voltage of 1 kV DC. The insulation resistance must be
higher than 1 Mohm..

78 Electrical installation

Checking the compatibility with IT (ungrounded) systems


The internal EMC filter is not suitable for use on an IT (ungrounded) system.
Disconnect the EMC filter before connecting the drive to the supply network. For
instructions on how to do this, see page 78.

WARNING! Do not install the drive with the internal EMC filter connected on an
IT system (an ungrounded power system or a high-resistance-grounded [over
30 ohms] power system), otherwise the system will be connected to ground potential
through the EMC filter capacitors of the drive. This can cause danger, or damage the
drive.

Note: When the internal EMC filter is disconnected, the drive EMC compatibility is
considerably reduced. See section Compliance with the EN 61800-3:2004 on page
136.

 Disconnecting the internal EMC filter – all frame sizes


To disconnect the internal varistors and EMC filter (option +E200), in an IT
(ungrounded), do as follows:
1. Switch off the power from the drive.
2. Remove the following screws:
• VAR (frames R1 and R2, located close to the supply terminals)
• EMC, VAR1 and VAR2 (frames R3 and R4, located on the front of the power
unit).

Power cable shield on page 59) and the cable has no symmetrical ground conductors.
80 Electrical installation

 Power cable connection procedure


See cabling drawing with tightening torques for all frame sizes on page 83.

WARNING! Follow all Safety instructions on page 13. If you ignore them,
injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.

1. Frame sizes R3 and R4 only: Remove the two plastic connector covers at the top
and bottom of the drive. Each cover is fastened with two screws.
2. On IT (ungrounded) systems, remove the following screws to disconnect the
internal varistors and EMC filters (option +E200):
• VAR (frames R1 and R2, located close to the supply terminals)
• EMC, VAR1 and VAR2 (frames R3 and R4, located on the front of the power
unit).

WARNING! If a drive whose varistors/filters are not disconnected is installed


on an IT system (an ungrounded power system or a high resistance grounded
[over 30 ohms] power system), the system is connected to ground potential through
the varistors/filters of the drive. This may cause danger or damage to the drive.

3. Fasten the two cable clamp plates included to the drive (see page 82), one at the
top, one at the bottom. The clamp plates are identical. Using the cable clamp
plates as shown below will provide better EMC compliance, as well as act as a
strain relief for the power cables.
4. Strip the power cables so that the shields are bare at the cable clamps.
5. Twist the ends of the cable shield wires into pigtails.
6. Strip the ends of the phase conductors.
7. Connect the following:
• phase conductors of the supply cable to U1, V1 and W1 terminals of the drive.
• phase conductors of the motor cable to U2, V2 and W2 terminals.
• conductors of the resistor cable (if present) to R+ and R– terminals.
With frame size R3 or R4: attach the screw terminal lugs included to the
conductors first. Crimp lugs can be used instead of screw lugs.
8. Tighten the cable clamps onto the bare cable shields.
Electrical installation 81

9. Crimp a cable lug onto each shield pigtail. Fasten the lugs to ground terminals.
Note: Try to work out a compromise between the length of the pigtail and the
length of unshielded phase conductors as both should ideally be as short as
possible.
10. Cover visible bare shield and pigtail with insulating tape.
11. With frame size R3 or R4, cut suitable slots on the edges of the connector covers
to accommodate the supply and motor cables. Install the covers again. (Tighten
the screws to 3 N·m [25 lbf·in]).
12. Secure the cables outside the unit mechanically.
13. Ground the other end of the supply cable shield or PE conductor(s) at the
distribution board. In case a mains choke and/or an EMC filter (option +E200) is
installed, make sure the PE conductor is continuous from the distribution board to
the drive.

Grounding the motor cable shield at the motor end


For minimum radio frequency interference, ground the cable shield 360 degrees at
the lead-through of the motor terminal box

or ground the cable by twisting the shield so that the flattened shield is wider than 1/5
of its length.

DC connection
The UDC+ and UDC– terminals are intended for common DC configurations of a
number of ACS880-M04 drives, allowing regenerative energy from one drive to be
utilised by the other drives in motoring mode.
One or more drives are connected to the AC supply depending on the power
requirement. In case two or more R1-R2 frames are connected to the AC supply,
each AC connection must be equipped with a mains choke to ensure even current
distribution between the rectifiers. The diagram below shows two configuration
examples.

 External power supply for the control unit (XPOW)


By default, the ZCU control unit is powered from the power module. An external
24 V DC, 2 A power supply for the control unit can be connected to terminal block
XPOW.
It is recommended to use an external supply if
• the control board needs to be kept operational during input power breaks, for
example, because of uninterrupted fieldbus communication, or
• immediate restart is needed after power breaks (that is, no control board power
up delay is allowed).
See also description of parameter 95.04 Control board supply in the firmware
manual.

 DI6 as a PTC sensor input

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.

To comply with the drive safety standard IEC 61800-5-1:


You can connect PTC sensor to digital input DI6 of the drive only if there is double or
reinforced insulation between the sensor and motor winding.
• Make sure that the voltage over the sensor is not more than the maximum value
allowed for the sensor.
• Do not connect both ends of the cable shield directly to ground. If a capacitor
cannot be used at one end, leave that end of the shield unconnected.
• See the firmware manual for the parameter settings.

 DIIL input
The DIIL input can used for the connection of safety circuits. By default, the input is
parametrized to stop the unit when the input signal is lost.

 Drive-to-drive link
The drive-to-drive link is a daisy-chained RS-485 transmission line that allows basic
master/follower communication with one master drive and multiple followers. Enable
bus termination on the drives at the ends of the drive-to-drive link. On intermediate
drives, disable bus termination.
The settings for each type of control unit are:
Control unit type Switch/jumper Settings
designation
ZCU-14 J3 Termination enabled
(frame sizes R1…R4) Termination disabled

Use shielded twisted-pair cable with a twisted pair for data and a wire or another pair
for signal ground (nominal impedance 100 … 165 ohm, for example Belden 9842) for
the wiring. For best immunity, ABB recommends high quality cable. Keep the cable as
short as possible. However, the minimum cable length is 1 m. Avoid unnecessary
loops and parallel runs near power cables such as motor cables.

Connecting the control cables – all frame sizes


For technical data and default I/O connections of the drive control unit, refer to
Control connections to the ZCU control unit (page 88).
1. In the cabinet, remove shrouding wherever necessary to allow access to the
cable entries and any trunking inside the cubicle.
2. Run the control cables into the cubicle. If possible, arrange for a 360° grounding
of the cable shield at the cable entry.
If the outer surface of the shield is non-conductive, turn the shield inside out as
shown below and wrap copper foil around the cable to keep the shielding
continuous. Do not cut the grounding wire (if present).

Heatsink
The heatsink fins pick up dust from the cooling air. If the heatsink is not clean, the
drive runs into overtemperature warnings and faults. In a normal environment, the
heatsink should be checked annually and in a dusty environment it should it be
checked more often.
Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary):
1. Remove the cooling fan (see section Cooling fan).
2. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top and simultaneously
use a vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust.
Note: If there is a risk of dust entering the adjoining equipment, perform the
cleaning in another room.
3. Refit the cooling fan.
Maintenance 107

Cooling fan
The actual lifespan of the cooling fan depends on the drive usage and ambient
temperature. Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from fan bearings
and the gradual rise in the heatsink temperature in spite of heatsink cleaning.
If the drive is operated in a critical part of a process, it is recommended to replace the
immediately after these symptoms start appearing.
Note: Replacement fans are available from ABB. Do not use spare parts other than
ABB-specified spare parts.

 Replacing fan (Frames R1 and R2)


To replace the fan in frames R1 and R2, follow these steps:
1. Detach the power cable clamp plate and terminal blocks.
2. Release the retaining clips (arrowed) carefully using a screwdriver.

Reforming the capacitors


The capacitors must be reformed if the drive has been stored for a year or more. See
manufacturing date on the Type designation label (see page 33).
For information on reforming the capacitors, see Converter module capacitor
reforming instructions (3BFE64059629 [English]).

Memory unit
After replacing an inverter control unit, the existing parameter settings can be
retained by transferring the memory unit from the defective unit to the new unit.

WARNING! Do not remove or insert the memory unit when the control unit is
powered.

To remove the memory unit,


1. Undo the fastening screw.
2. Pull out the memory unit.

ZCU-14

After power-up, the drive scans the memory unit. If a different control program or
different parameter settings are detected, they are copied to the drive. This takes
about 10 to 30 seconds.
Note: Drive does not respond while copying is in progress.

I1N Nominal input current (rms) at 40 °C (104 °F).


*Without mains choke.
I2N Nominal output current.
IMax Maximum output current. Available for at least 10 seconds at start, otherwise as long
as allowed by drive temperature.
PN Typical motor power for no-overload use.
ILd Continuous rms output current. 10% overload is allowed for 1 minute every 5 minutes.
P Ld Typical motor power for light-overload use.
IHd Continuous rms output current. 50% overload is allowed for 1 minute every 5 minutes.
P Hd Typical motor power for heavy-duty use.
Note: To achieve the rated motor power given in the table, the rated current of the drive must
be higher than or equal to the rated motor current.
The DriveSize dimensioning tool available from ABB is recommended for selecting the drive,
motor and gear combination.
The maximum allowed motor shaft power is limited to 1.5 · P Hd, 1.1 · PN or Pcont.max
(whichever value is the greatest). If the limit is exceeded, motor torque and current are
automatically restricted. The function protects the input bridge of the drive against overload.
Technical data 115

Derating
The continuous output currents stated above must be derated if any of the following
conditions apply:
• ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C (+104°F)
• drive is installed higher than 1000 m above sea level
• parameter-adjustable motor noise level is set as low.
Note: The final derating factor is a multiplication of all applicable derating factors.

 Ambient temperature derating


In the temperature range 40…55 °C (+104…131 °F), the rated output current is
derated by 1% for every added 1 °C (1.8 °F) as follows:

Derating factor

1.00

0.85

Ambient temperature
+40 °C +55 °C
+104 °F +131 °F

 Altitude derating
At altitudes from 1000 to 2000 m (3300 to 6562 ft) above sea level, the derating is 1%
for every 100 m (328 ft). For a more accurate derating, use the DriveSize PC tool.

 Low motor noise derating


Low motor noise is activated with a drive parameter (see the firmware manual). With
low motor noise, drive loadability is reduced and derating must be applied if a certain
constant output current is needed. See the derated values in the below tables.
For definitions of symbols used in the below tables, see Definitions on page 114.

Supply cable fuses


Fuses for short circuit protection of the supply cable are listed below. The fuses also
protect the adjoining equipment of the drive in case of a short circuit.
Check that the operating time of the fuse is below 0.5 seconds. The operating time
depends on the supply network impedance and the cross-sectional area and length
of the supply cable. See also chapter Planning the electrical installation on page 53.
Note: Fuses with a higher current rating must not be used.

The Safe torque off function
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes the Safe torque off (STO) function of the drive modules 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 (such as an emergency stop circuit) that stop the drive in case of
danger. 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, 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.
The Safe torque off function complies with these standards:

Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations
The Declarations of conformity are shown at the end of this chapter.’

Wiring
For the electrical specifications of the STO connection, see the technical data of the
control unit.
The Safe torque off function 143

 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 safety functions module, an FSPS safety functions module or an FPTC
thermistor protection module can also be used. For more information, see the
module documentation.

 Cable types and lengths


• ABB recommends double-shielded twisted-pair cable.
• 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.

Operation principle
1. The Safe torque off activates (the activation switch is opened, or safety relay
contacts open).
2. The STO inputs on the drive control unit de-energize.
3. The control unit cuts off the control voltage from the drive IGBTs.
4. The control program generates an indication as defined by parameter 31.22 (see
the firmware manual of the drive).
148 The Safe torque off function

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.

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
1. at initial start-up of the safety function
2. after any changes related to the safety function (circuit boards, wiring,
components, settings, replacement of inverter module, etc.)
3. after any maintenance work related to the safety function
4. after a drive firmware update
5. at the proof test of the safety function

 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
The Safe torque off function 149

procedure shown in the FSO module documentation.


If an FSPS-21 module is installed, refer to its 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 motor 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.
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
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.
150 The Safe torque off function

Action 
Test the operation of the failure detection of the drive. The motor can be stopped or
running.
• Open the 1st input channel of the STO circuit. If the motor was running, it should coast
to a stop. The drive generates an FA81 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.
• Open the STO circuit (both channels).
• Give a reset command.
• Close the STO circuit (both channels).
• Reset any active faults. Restart the drive and check that the motor runs normally.
• Open the 2nd input channel of the STO circuit. If the motor was running, it should coast
to a stop. The drive generates an FA82 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.
• Open the STO circuit (both channels).
• Give a reset command.
• Close the STO circuit (both channels).
• Reset any active faults. Restart the drive and check that the motor runs normally.
Document and sign the acceptance test report which verifies that the safety function is
safe and accepted for operation.
The Safe torque off function 151

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 or when the main power to the drive is off. 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!
Permanent magnet or synchronous reluctance [SynRM] motors only:
In case of a multiple IGBT power semiconductor failure, the drive can producean
alignment torque which maximally rotates the motor shaft by 180/p degrees (with
permanent magnet motors) or 180/2p degrees (with synchronousreluctance [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
152 The Safe torque off function

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 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.

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 10 years; see section Safety data (page 285).
There are two alternative procedures for proof testing:
1. Perfect proof testing. It is assumed that all dangerous failures of the STO circuit
are detected during the test. PFDavg values for STO with the perfect proof testing
procedure are given in the safety data section.
2. Simplified proof testing. This procedure is faster and simpler than perfect proof
testing. Not all dangerous failures of the STO circuit are detected during the test.
The PFDavg value for STO with the simplified proof testing procedure is given in
the safety data section.
Note: The proof testing procedures are only valid for proof testing (periodic test, item
5 under section Start-up including validation test) but not for re-validation after
changes made in the circuit. Re-validation (items 1…4 under Start-up including
validation test) must be done according to the initial validation procedure.
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.
The Safe torque off function 153

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 279).
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.

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 FA81 or FA82 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.

Safety data
The safety data for the Safe torque off function is given below.
Note: The safety data is calculated for redundant use, and applies only if both STO
channels are used.

Mains chokes
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes how to select and install mains chokes for the drive module.
The chapter also contains the relevant technical data.

When is a mains choke required?


With frames R1 and R2, the need for an external choke should be determined on a
case-by-case basis. With frames R3 and R4, the drive modules have an internal
mains choke.
The main choke typically
• reduces harmonics in the input current
• reduces the r.m.s. input current
• reduces supply disturbance and low-frequency interference
• increases the allowed DC bus continuous power
• ensures even current distribution in common DC configurations (see page 84).

Guidelines for installing the mains choke


• If an EMC filter is also installed, the mains choke is connected between the supply
and the EMC filter. See the connection diagram below.
• For optimal operation of the choke, the drive and the choke must be mounted on
the same conductive surface.
• Ensure the choke does not block the airflow through the drive module, and that
the air rising from the choke is deflected away from the air inlet of the drive
module
• Keep the cable between the drive and the choke as short as possible.

WARNING! The surface of the mains choke becomes hot when in use.

du/dt and common mode
filtering
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes how to select du/dt and common mode filtering for the drive
module. The chapter also contains the relevant technical data.

When is du/dt or common mode filtering required?


The output of the drive comprises – regardless of output frequency – pulses of
approximately 1.35 times the equivalent supply voltage with a very short rise time.
This is the case with all drives employing modern IGBT drive technology. The motor
and motor cable insulation may undergo the following situation:
• The voltage of the pulses can be almost double at the motor terminals, depending
on the attenuation and reflection properties of the motor cable and the terminals.
This in turn 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, which can gradually erode the bearing races and rolling elements.
Use the,
• optional ABB du/dt filters to avoid stress on motor insulation
• common mode filters to reduce bearing currents.
Note: To avoid damage to the motor bearings, select and install the cables according
to the instructions given in Electrical installation on page 75.
178 du/dt and common mode filtering

Selecting the du/dt filters

Warning! Use the du/dt filtering, common mode filtering, and insulated N-end
bearings according to the following table.
If you ignore these requirements, the motor life can shorten or damage to the motor
bearings can occur, and the warranty is not applicable.

du/dt filters are optional accessories and to be ordered separately. For more
information on common mode filtering, contact your local ABB representative.
Contact the motor manufacturer for information on the motor construction.

 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 braking applications


When the motor brakes the machinery, the intermediate circuit DC voltage of the
drive increases as well as the motor supply voltage by up to 20 percent. Consider this
voltage increase when you specify the motor insulation requirements if the motor will
be braking a large part of its operation time.
Example: Select the motor insulation system for a 400 V AC line voltage application
as if the drive were supplied with 480 V.

Resistor braking
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes how to select, protect and wire brake choppers and resistors.
The chapter also contains the technical data.

Selecting brake choppers and resistors


 Brake choppers
The ACS880-M04 (frames R1…R4) drives have a built-in brake chopper as standard
equipment to handle the energy generated by a decelerating motor.
When the brake chopper is enabled and a resistor is connected, the chopper starts
conducting when the DC link voltage of the drive reaches UDC_BR - 30 V.
The maximum braking power is achieved at UDC_BR + 30 V. Pre-selected resistors
UDC = 1.35 × Used AC supply voltage

UDC_BR = 1.25 × UDC

See the available ABB brake choppers shown in the Brake choppers data table on
page 183.
182 Resistor braking

 Brake resistors
To select a brake resistor, calculate the following:
1. maximum power generated by the motor during braking
2. continuous power based on the braking duty cycle
3. braking energy during the duty cycle.
Pre-selected resistors are available from ABB as shown in the Brake resistors data
table on page 185. If the listed resistor is not sufficient for the application, a custom
resistor can be selected within the limits imposed by the internal brake chopper of the
ACS880-M04. The following rules apply:
• The resistance of the custom resistor must be at least Rmin. The braking power
capacity with different resistance values can be calculated from the following
formula:
2
(U DC_BR + 30 V)
Pmax <
R

WARNING! Never use a brake resistor with a resistance below the value
specified for the particular drive type. The drive and the chopper are not able to
handle the overcurrent caused by the low resistance.

• The maximum braking power must not exceed Pbrmax at any point
• The average braking power must not exceed Pbrcont
• The braking energy must not exceed the energy dissipation capacity of the
selected resistor
• The resistor must be protected from thermal overload; see section Contactor
protection of drive on page 186.

R = Resistance of the listed resistor.


Pn = Continuous power (heat) dissipation of the listed resistor when cooled naturally in a vertical
position.
Epulse = Energy pulse the listed resistor will withstand.
PRcont = Continuous power (heat) dissipation of the resistor when placed correctly. Energy ER
dissipates in 400 seconds.
ER= Short energy pulse that the resistor assembly withstands every 400 seconds. This energy
will heat the resistor element from 40°C (104°F) to the maximum allowable temperature.

Note: All brake resistors must be installed outside the drive module.

 Brake resistors dimensions


See dimensions drawings of Brake resistors (type JBR-xx) on page 195. For details
of dimensions, wire sizes and tightening torques, see Brake resistor - JBR-xx
dimensions on page 196.

Installing and wiring brake resistors


All resistors must be installed outside the drive module in a place where they are
cooled sufficiently, do not block the airflow to other equipment, or dissipate hot air into
the air inlets of other equipment.

WARNING! The materials near the brake resistor must be non-flammable.


The surface temperature of the resistor may rise above 200 °C (400 °F), and
the temperature of the air flowing from the resistor is hundreds of degrees
Celsius. Protect the resistor against contact.

The maximum length of the resistor cable(s) is 20 m (65 ft). For the connections, see
Cable routing diagram on page 64.

 Contactor protection of drive


The drive must be equipped with a main contactor for safety reasons. Wire the
contactor so that it opens in case the resistor overheats. This is essential for safety
since the drive will not otherwise be able to interrupt the main supply if the chopper
remains conductive in a fault situation.
Below is a simple example wiring diagram.

Commissioning the braking circuit


For more information, see the firmware manual.
1. Enable the brake chopper function. Please note that a brake resistor must be
connected when the chopper is enabled from group 43 Brake chopper.
2. Switch Off the overvoltage control of the drive with parameter 30.30 Overvoltage
control.
3. Adjust any other relevant parameters in group 43 Brake chopper.

WARNING! If the drive is equipped with a brake chopper but the chopper is not
enabled by the parameter setting, the internal thermal protection of the drive
against resistor overheating is not in use. In this case, the brake resistor must be
disconnected.

Note: Some brake resistors are coated with oil film for protection. At the start-up, the
coating burns off and produces a little bit of smoke. Ensure proper ventilation at the
start-up.
