Inverter unit hardware


■ General
An inverter unit contains the components required to control one motor. These include
one or more inverter modules connected in parallel, together with the necessary
auxiliary equipment such as control electronics, fusing, cabling and switchgear.
ACS880-107LC inverter units range from 55 to 6000 kW in power. The units employ
ACS880-104LC modules. Up to approximately 800 kW, inverter units consist of one
module only; higher power ratings are achieved by connecting multiple modules in
parallel.
All inverter modules have coated circuit boards as standard.

Inverter module hardware


■ Frame R7i
Frame R7i modules provide output power in the range of 55 to 355 kW.
Each module is mounted in an installation frame. The frame has quick connectors for
both the DC and AC power connections, so the module can be easily extracted from
the cabinet. The module is secured to its frame by a locking screw that is accessible
from the front.
The front cover plate of the module can be pulled out for access to the circuit board
compartment without removing the module.
690 volt modules have internal du/dt filtering by default. For 500 volt modules this is
available as an option.

Control unit
R7i modules employ a separate control unit (BCU) that contains the BCON board with
basic I/Os and slots for optional I/O modules. A fiber optic link connects the BCU to
each inverter module. Any safety circuits utilizing the built-in Safe torque off
functionality are connected to the BCU. The forwarding connector of the BCU is wired
to the inverter module.

22 Operation principle and hardware description

■ Frame R8i and multiples


Frame R8i modules are used to achieve output powers from approximately 350 kW
upwards in single or parallel configurations.
The DC connection of the module is by busbars and located at the top. The motor
connection is via a quick connector at the back of the module that couples when the
module is inserted into the cubicle. Each parallel-connected module is cabled separately
to the motor, or connected by busbars to adjacent modules to reduce the number of
cables. It is also possible to build an AC bus from each module to a separate output
cubicle.
Internal du/dt filtering is mandatory with all 690 volt units and all parallel-connected
modules. 690 volt modules have internal du/dt filtering as standard.

Control unit
Inverter units consisting of one or several R8i modules employ a separate control unit
(BCU) that contains the BCON board with basic I/Os and slots for optional I/O modules.
A fiber optic link connects the BCU to each inverter module. Any safety circuits utilizing
the built-in Safe torque off functionality are connected to the BCU. The forwarding
connector of the BCU is wired to the inverter module(s).

Coolant connectors
The coolant pipe inlet and outlet connectors are located at the bottom front of the
module. The connectors are for 16/13 millimeter PA (polyamide) pipe.
24 Operation principle and hardware description

WARNING!
For a reliable connection, the end of the pipe entering the connector must be
completely intact for a length of at least 5 cm (2”). Make sure the pipe is
perfectly round where it enters the connector, and not deformed eg. by any
bends nearby. The piping must not exert any tension or torque on the connector.

Connectors X50…X59
R8i modules contain a power supply (BDPS) that provides 24 V DC for the circuit boards
of the module. The 24 V DC voltage provided by the BDPS is also available on X53, and
can be used to power the BCU control unit of a single R8i inverter module.

Note: With an inverter unit consisting of parallel-connected R8i modules, it is strongly


recommended to use an external 24 V DC supply to power the BCU control unit.
The BDPS is powered internally from the DC link. An auxiliary voltage of 230 V AC or
115 V AC (selectable) can optionally be fed to terminal block X50 to power the BDPS
even when the DC link is not live. The selection between 115 V and 230 V is made with
selector plug X59. The setting can be changed by removing the two screws, turning
the plug 180 degrees, and reinstalling the screws.
If the Safe torque off (STO) function is not used, the “24V” inputs on X52 must be
connected to +24 V (on connector X53, for example) on each inverter module. On a
new module, a jumper wire set installed at the factory makes this connection.
If the STO function is to be implemented, the jumper wire set must be removed – a
mechanical interlocking device is factory-installed on connectors X51 and X52 to this
effect.
For STO, X52 (STO IN) is wired to the STO OUT connector on the BCU control unit.
Connector X51 on the module is wired to connector X52 on the next module (if present).
For details, see chapter The Safe torque off function (page 107).

Contents of this chapter


This chapter gives instructions on the wiring of the drive.

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.
Do 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.
• Open the charging switch if present.
• Open the disconnector of the supply transformer. (The main disconnecting
device in the drive cabinet does not disconnect the voltage from the AC input
power busbars of the drive cabinet.)
• If the drive is equipped with a DC/DC converter unit (optional) or a DC feeder
unit (optional): Open the DC switch-disconnector ([Q11], option +F286 or
+F290) of the unit. Open the disconnecting device of the energy storage
connected to the unit (outside the drive cabinet).
34 Electrical installation

• Open the auxiliary voltage switch-disconnector (if present), and all other
possible disconnecting devices that isolate the drive from dangerous voltage
sources.
• In the liquid cooling unit (if present), open the switch-disconnector of the
cooling pumps.
• 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. If the
measurement requires removal or disassembly of shrouding or other cabinet
structures, obey the local laws and regulations applicable to live working (including
– but not limited to – electric shock and arc protection).
• Before and after you measure 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.
Important! Repeat the measurement also with the DC voltage setting of the
tester. Measure between each phase and ground. There is a risk of dangerous
DC voltage charging due to leakage capacitances of the motor circuit. This
voltage can remain charged for a long time after the drive power-off. The
measurement discharges the voltage.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+ and UDC-)
and the grounding (PE) terminal is zero. In cabinet-built drives, measure
between the drive DC busbars (+ and -) and the grounding (PE) busbar.

WARNING!
The busbars inside the cabinet of liquid-cooled drives are partially coated.
Measurements made through the coating are potentially unreliable, so only
measure at uncoated portions. Note that the coating does not constitute
a safe or touch-proof insulation.

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.
Electrical installation 35

General notes
■ 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.

■ Optical components

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

• Handle the fiber optic cables with care.


• When you unplug the fiber optic cables, always hold the connector, not the cable
itself.
• Do not touch the ends of the fibers with bare hands as the ends are extremely
sensitive to dirt. 11
• Do not bend the fiber optic cables too tightly. The minimum allowed bend radius
is 35 mm (1.4 in).

Checking the insulation of the assembly


■ Inverter unit

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 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 33) 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
36 Electrical installation

[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.

Connecting the control cables


See the chapter on control units for the default I/O connections. Note that the default
I/O connections can be affected by some options. See the circuit diagrams delivered
with the drive for the actual wiring.

■ Control cable connection procedure

WARNING!
Obey the safety instructions given in ACS880 liquid-cooled multidrive
cabinets and modules safety instructions (3AXD50000048633 [English]).
If you ignore the safety instructions, 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.

1. Stop the drive (if running) and do the steps in section Electrical safety
precautions (page 33) before you start the work.
2. Run the control cables into the cabinet as described in section Grounding the
outer shields of the control cables 360° at the cabinet entry below.
3. Route the control cables as described in section Routing the control cables inside
the cabinet.
4. Connect the control cables as described in section Connecting control cabling.

Grounding the outer shields of the control cables 360° at the cabinet entry
Ground the outer shields of all control cables 360° with the EMI conductive cushions
at the cabinet entry. The grounding principle is the same for top and bottom entry
cables. The illustrations show the bottom entry. The actual design details can vary.
1. If necessary, remove the shrouding in front of the cable entry.
2. Put the cables in sequence from the smallest to the largest. This will help to achieve
a good contact with the cushions.
3. Loosen the tightening bolts of the EMI conductive cushions and pull them apart.
4. Cut holes in the grommets and put the cables through the grommets.
Electrical installation 37

5. Peel the insulation from the part of the cable that will be in contact with the EMI
conductive cushion.
6. Put the cables between the cushions and attach them with cable ties for strain
relief.
7. Move the cushions back together.
8. Tighten the bolts to make sure that the EMI conductive cushions press tightly
around the peeled part of the cables.

11

If the outer surface of the shield is non-conductive:


• Cut the shield at the midpoint of the peeled part. Be careful not to cut the
conductors or the grounding wire.
• Turn the conductive side of the shield inside out over the insulation.
• Cover the exposed shield and the peeled cable with copper foil to keep the shielding
continuous.

Routing the control cables inside the cabinet


Use the existing trunking in the cabinet where possible. Use sleeving if cables are laid
against sharp edges. When running cables to or from a swing-out frame, leave enough
slack at the hinge to allow the frame to open fully.

Connecting control cabling


Connect the conductors to the appropriate terminals. Refer to the wiring diagrams
delivered with the drive.
With option +L504, the terminals of the inverter control unit are available on terminal
block X504.
Obey these instructions:
• Connect the inner twisted pair shields and all separate grounding wires to the
grounding clamps near the terminals.
• Ground the outer shield of the cable at the cable entry, not at the grounding clamps
near the terminals.
• Keep any signal wire pairs twisted as close to the terminals as possible. Twisting
the wire with its return wire reduces disturbances caused by inductive coupling.
• At the other end of the cable, leave the shields unconnected or ground them
indirectly via a high-frequency capacitor with a few nanofarads, eg. 3.3 nF / 630 V.
Electrical installation 39

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.
The drawing below represents the grounding of the control cabling when connecting
to a terminal block inside the cabinet. The grounding is done in the same way when
connecting directly to a component such as the control unit.

2) Use a separate grounding cable if the conductivity of the cable shield is less than 50% of the conduct-
ivity of the phase conductor in a cable with no symmetrically constructed grounding conductor (see
the document ACS880 liquid-cooled multidrive cabinets and modules, Electrical planning instructions
[3AXD50000048634 English]).

Note: If there is a symmetrically constructed grounding conductor in 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. Connecting its fourth conductor at the motor
end increases bearing currents and causes extra wear.

■ Motor cable connection procedure

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.

WARNING!
Do the steps in section Electrical safety precautions (page 33) before you start
the work.

This section describes the power cable connecting procedure for a bottom cable entry
with the standard cable entry plate. The standard cable entry plate has conductive
sleeves for the 360 degree grounding of the cable shields. If the drive or unit has
another type of cable entry plate, such as a Roxtec cable entry plate (option +H394),
or cable gland plate (option +H358), refer also to the instruction of the related non-ABB
installation accessories. For example, the Roxtec instructions or the instructions by
the cable gland manufacturer.
1. IP54 cabinet: Remove the rear horizontal cable support and the cable entry plate.
2. IP54 cabinet: Remove a sealing grommet from the cable entry plate for each cable.
Cut hole into the rubber grommet and slide it onto the cable.

3. Lead the cables inside the cabinet through the cable entry plate. If there are several
cables, use the rear 3 holes first.
IP54 cabinet: Attach the the sealing grommets to the cable entry plate. Attach
also the cable entry plate, and the cable support.
Electrical installation 43

4. For each cable, strip off 3…5 cm (1.2 … 2 inches) of the outer insulation above the
cable entry plate. Strip also the end of the cable, and the end of the phase
conductors. Twist the shield to form a PE conductor, and mark it with yellow-green
tape or heat-shrink tubing.
5. For each cable, attach cable lugs at the end of the PE conductor (twisted shield)
and phase conductors.

WARNING!
Apply grease to stripped aluminum conductors before attaching them to
non-coated aluminum cable lugs. Obey the grease manufacturer’s
instructions. Aluminum-aluminum contact can cause oxidation in the
contact surfaces.
44 Electrical installation

6. For each cable, attach the conductive sleeve to the bare cable shield with a cable
tie. Attach the cable to the support bracket with a clamp.
7. For each cable, connect the PE conductor to the PE busbar, and the phase
conductors to the phase terminals. Tighten the screws to the torque given in the
technical data. Use the bolts and washers in the delivery. Refer to Use of fasteners
in cable lug connections (page 54).

8. If there are more than 3 cables, attach additional cable support brackets for them.

Replacing the shrouding and connecting the motor


1. Refit any shrouding removed earlier and close the cubicle doors.
2. At the motor, connect the cables according to instructions from the motor
manufacturer. Pay special attention to the phase order. 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.
Electrical installation 45

Frame R8i and multiples – Connecting the motor cables


(units without common motor terminal cubicle or sine
output filter)
On units without a common motor terminal cubicle or a sine output filter, the motor
cables connect to busbars located in the inverter module cubicles. To access the
terminals, the cooling fans and other equipment in front of the terminals must be
removed from the cubicle.
The location and dimensions of the busbars are visible in the dimension drawings
delivered with the drive, as well as the example drawings presented in this manual in
chapter Dimensions.
If the drive is equipped with a common motor terminal cubicle (option +H359) or a
sine output filter (option +E206), follow the instructions in section Frame R8i and
multiples – Connecting the motor cables (units with common motor terminal cubicle
or sine output filter) (page 51).

„„
With option +H366, the output busbars of the inverter modules within the same cubicle
are connected by bridging busbars. The bridging balances the motor current between
the modules, which allows more cabling options. For example, it is possible to use a
number of cables that could not otherwise be evenly distributed between the inverter
modules.

WARNING!
The bridging can carry the nominal output of one inverter module. In case of
three parallel modules, ensure that the load capacity of the bridging is not
exceeded. For example, if the cabling connects to the output busbars at one
module only, use the module in the middle.
Electrical installation 47

Note: The +H366 option only interconnects the outputs of inverter modules within
the same cubicle, not modules installed in different cubicles. Therefore, when the drive
has more than three inverter modules, make sure that the load is distributed evenly
between the modules:
• In case of two inverter cubicles of two modules, connect the same number of
cables to each cubicle.
• In case of one inverter cubicle with three modules and another with two, each
cubicle requires a number of cables proportional to the number of modules within.
For example, connect three out of five (or six out of ten, etc.) cables to the cubicle
with three modules, the remaining two out of five (four out of ten) cables to the
cubicle with two modules.

■ Procedure

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.

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
• 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 the FDPI-02 module: move termination switch S1 on the FDPI-02 module
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 PC tool.

Pre-requisites
The mechanical and electrical installation of the drive has been inspected and approved. See In-
stallation checklist (page 61).
The insulation resistance of the assembly has been checked according to instructions. See
Electrical installation (page 33).
The supply unit of the drive system has been started up according to the instructions in its
hardware manual.
Checks/Settings with no voltage connected
Do the steps listed in Electrical safety precautions (page 33). Refer to the hardware manual of
the supply unit for more information.
Check the settings of breakers/switches in the auxiliary circuits. See the circuit diagrams delivered
with the drive.
Check that the auxiliary voltage selector [X59] on the front plate of the inverter modules is set
according to actual auxiliary voltage (230 or 115 V AC).
Disconnect any unfinished or uninspected auxiliary voltage (115/230 V AC) cables that lead from
the terminal blocks to the outside of the equipment.
Check that both channels of the Safe torque off circuit connected to the STO input of the inverter
control unit (A41) are closed. Refer to the wiring diagrams delivered with the drive.
With parallel-connected frame R8i inverter modules, check that the STO OUT output on the in-
verter control unit (A41) is chained to the STO inputs of all inverter modules.

Maintenance 69

Note:
• Maintenance and component replacement intervals are based on the assumption
that the equipment is operated within the specified ratings and ambient
conditions. ABB recommends annual drive inspections to ensure the highest
reliability and optimum performance.
• Long term operation near the specified maximum ratings or ambient conditions
may require shorter maintenance intervals for certain components. Consult your
local ABB Service representative for additional maintenance recommendations.

Maintenance timers and counters


The control program has maintenance timers and counters that can be configured to
generate a warning when a pre-defined limit is reached. Each timer/counter can be
set to monitor any parameter. This feature is especially useful as a service reminder.
For more information, see the firmware manual.
70 Maintenance

Cooling fans
The lifespan of the cooling fans of the drive depends on running time, ambient
temperature and dust concentration. See the firmware manual for the actual signal
which indicates the running time of the cooling fan. Reset the running time signal
after fan replacement. See also CIO-01 I/O module for distributed I/O bus control
user's manual (3AXD50000126880 [English]).

Activating the reduced run of the inverter unit


A “reduced run” function is available for inverter units consisting of parallel-connected
inverter modules. The function makes it possible to continue operation with limited
current even if one (or more) module is out of service, for example, because of
maintenance work. In principle, reduced run is possible with only one module, but the
physical requirements of operating the motor still apply; for example, the modules
remaining in use must be able to provide the motor with enough magnetizing current.

Note: The wiring accessories and the air baffle needed during the procedure are
included in the delivery, and separately available from ABB.

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

1. Stop the drive and do the steps in section Electrical safety precautions (page 33)
before you start the work.
2. Remove the shrouding above the module bay (in front of the DC fuses).

1. Install the module in reverse order. Use the following tightening torques:
• DC busbar assembly to upper insulators (2 × M8): 9 N·m (6.6 lbf·ft)
• DC busbar assembly to lower insulators (2 × M10): 18 N·m (13.3 lbf·ft)
• Fuses to DC busbars: 50 N·m (37 lbf·ft) (Bussmann), 46 N·m (34 lbf·ft)
(Mersen/Ferraz-Shawmut)
• Module to cabinet frame (4 × M8): 22 N·m (16 lbf·ft)
• DC busbar assembly to module DC input (2 × M12): 70 N·m (52 lbf·ft)
2. Remove the plugs from the coolant pipes and reconnect the pipes to the module.
See the module replacement instructions.
3. Restore the original wiring (STO and control unit power supply whenever needed).
4. Reinstall any removed fan(s). Reconnect the control and power supply wiring of
the fan.
5. Set parameter 95.13 to 0 to disable the reduced run function.
6. Activate the control IOs of the fan in parameters 206.20 … 206.23.
7. If the Safe torque off (STO) function is in use, perform an acceptance test. See
the instructions in chapter The Safe torque off function (page 107).

Capacitors
The intermediate DC circuit 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, refer to Capacitor reforming instructions
(3BFE64059629 [English]).

Maintenance 91

Control units
■ BCU control unit types
There are three variants of the BCU control unit used in ACS880 drives: BCU-02, BCU-12
and BCU-22. These have a different number of converter module connections (2, 7 and
12 respectively) but are otherwise identical. The three BCU types are interchangeable
as long as the number of connections is sufficient. For example, the BCU-22 can be
used as a direct replacement for both BCU-02 and BCU-12.

■ Replacing the memory unit


After replacing a control unit, you can keep the existing parameter settings by
transferring the memory unit from the defective control unit to the new control unit.

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

1. Stop the drive and do the steps in section Electrical safety precautions (page 33)
before you start the work.
2. Make sure that the control unit is not powered.
3. Remove the fastening screw and pull the memory unit out.
4. Install a memory unit in reverse order.

■ Replacing the BCU control unit battery


Replace the real-time clock battery if the BATT OK LED is not illuminated when the
control unit is powered.
1. Stop the drive and do the steps in section Electrical safety precautions (page 33)
before you start the work.
2. Undo the fastening screw and remove the battery.
3. Replace the battery with a new BR2032 battery.
92 Maintenance

4. Dispose of the old battery according to local disposal rules or applicable laws.
5. Set the real-time clock.

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.

Additional information on the connections


■ Connecting motor temperature sensors to the drive
IEC/EN 60664 requires double or reinforced insulation between the control unit and
the live parts of the motor. To achieve this, use an FPTC-01 or FPTC-02 protection
module or an FAIO-01 extension module. See ACS880 liquid-cooled multidrives cabinets
and modules electrical planning instructions (3AXD50000048634) and the module
manual.

■ Power supply for the control unit (XPOW)


The control unit is powered from a 24 V DC, 2 A supply through terminal block XPOW.
With a type BCU/UCU control unit, a second supply can be connected to the same
terminal block for redundancy.
Using a second 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
delay is allowed).

■ 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 classified.

■ 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.
Use a high-quality shielded twisted-pair cable for the wiring, for example, Belden 9842.
The nominal impedance of the cable should be 100…165 ohm. You can use one pair
for the data wiring and another pair or a wire for the grounding. Avoid unnecessary
loops and parallel runs near power cables.
The following diagram shows the wiring between control units.

■ Safe torque off (XSTO, XSTO OUT)


See chapter The Safe torque off function (page 107).

Note: The XSTO input only acts as a true Safe torque off input on the inverter control
unit. De-energizing the STO input terminals of other units (supply, DC/DC converter,
or brake unit) will stop the unit but not constitute a SIL/PL classified safety function.

■ FSO safety functions module connection (X12)


Refer to the applicable FSO module user's manual. Note that the FSO safety functions
module is not used in supply, DC/DC converter or brake units.

■ SDHC memory card slot


The BCU-x2 has an on-board data logger that collects real-time data from the power
modules to help fault tracing and analysis. The data is stored onto the SDHC memory
card inserted into the SD CARD slot and can be analyzed by ABB service personnel.

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.

Note: In this chapter, the term 'drive' refers to one inverter unit of the drive system.

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.

■ Compliance with the European Machinery Directive and the UK Supply


of Machinery (Safety) Regulations
See Electrical planning instructions for ACS880 liquid-cooled multidrive cabinets and
modules (3AXD50000048634 [English]).
The Safe torque off function 109

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 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
• 30 m (100 ft) between control unit and last inverter module in the chain.

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 (or frame R8i inverter
module) 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.
• Do not ground the shield in the cabling between control unit and inverter module,
or between inverter modules.

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.
116 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
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 +L513, +L514, +L536, +L537, +Q950,
+Q951, +Q952, +Q957, +Q963, +Q964, +Q965, +Q966, +Q978, +Q979 or +Q984, also
do the procedure shown in the documentation of the option.
If an FSO or FSPS module is installed, refer to its documentation.

Note: All inverter modules of the drive must be powered and connected to the STO
circuit during the validation test.

Action

WARNING!
Obey the safety instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equip-
ment 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.

In case the drive consists of parallel-connected modules, check that the number of modules
detected (parameter 95.14) matches the actual number of modules, and that the drive type is
correctly set in parameter 95.31.
The Safe torque off function 117

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 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 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 validation test report which verifies that the safety function is safe and
accepted for operation.
118 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 Safe torque off functionality is only achieved through the XSTO connector
of the inverter control unit (A41). True Safe torque off functionality is not
achieved through the XSTO connectors of other control units (such as the
supply control unit or the brake control unit).
The Safe torque off function is supported by any ACS880 inverter or drive
control program. It is not supported by supply, DC/DC converter or brake
firmware.

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 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
The Safe torque off function 119

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.
120 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 10 years; see section Safety data (page 123).
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.
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 116).
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.

122 The Safe torque off function

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.

Internal cooling circuit

Contents of this chapter


The cooling system of a liquid-cooled drive consists of two circuits: the internal cooling
circuit and the external cooling circuit. The internal cooling circuit covers the
heat-generating electrical components of the drive and transfers the heat to the
cooling unit. In the cooling unit, the heat is transferred to the external cooling circuit
which is usually part of a larger external cooling system. This chapter deals with the
internal cooling circuit.

Applicability
The information in this chapter is applicable to cabinet-built ACS880 liquid-cooled
drives. Except where otherwise indicated, the information is also applicable to drives
built out of ACS880 liquid-cooled multidrives modules.

Internal cooling system


Each cubicle has an inlet and an outlet manifold, fitted with a stop valve and a drain
valve. The stop valves can be closed to isolate all modules in the cubicle from the main
cooling circuit.
In cabinet line-ups built by ABB, valves are color-coded:
• Blue – Open during operation
• Red – Closed during operation
The following diagram shows the coolant pipe connections in a drive system consisting
of a supply unit and an inverter unit. Other units, such as brake units, DC/DC converter
units have similar cooling arrangements. Other cubicles containing components that
require cooling may also contain heat exchangers.

50% mixture. See Coolant specification (page 132).
Internal cooling circuit 129

Connection to a cooling unit


■ Connection to an ACS880-1007LC cooling unit
Refer to ACS880-1007LC cooling unit user’s manual (3AXD50000129607 [English]).

■ Connection to a custom cooling unit


General requirements
Equip the system with an expansion vessel to damp pressure rise due to volume
changes when the temperature varies. Equip the system with a pump that provides
a nominal flow and pressure. Keep the pressure within the limits specified in Technical
data (page 132). Install a pressure regulator to make sure that the maximum permissible
operating pressure is not exceeded.
Install a bleed valve at the highest point of the cooling circuit, and a drain valve at the
lowest point.
The materials that can be used are listed in Cooling circuit materials (page 134).

Coolant temperature control


The temperature of the coolant in the internal cooling circuit must be kept within the
limits specified in Technical data (page 132). Note that the minimum temperature is
dependent on ambient temperature and relative humidity.
130 Internal cooling circuit

Filling up and bleeding the internal cooling circuit


Both the drive and coolant must be at room temperature before filling up the cooling
circuit.

WARNING!
Make sure that the maximum permissible operating pressure is not exceeded.
When necessary regulate the pressure to appropriate level by draining excess
coolant out of the system.

WARNING!
Bleeding of the cooling circuit is very important and has to be done with great
care. Air bubbles in the cooling circuit may reduce or completely block coolant
flow and lead to overheating. Let the air out of the cooling system while filling
in coolant and, eg. after any power module replacements.

■ Drive line-ups with an ACS880-1007LC cooling unit


Obey the filling up and bleeding instructions in ACS880-1007LC cooling unit user’s
manual (3AXD50000129607 [English]).

■ Drive line-ups with a custom cooling unit

Note:
• In filling up the system, the drain valves in the line-up are used only to vent the air
from the circuit so that it can be displaced by the coolant. The actual bleeding of
the circuit must be done via an external bleed valve installed at the highest point
of the cooling circuit. The most practical location for the valve is usually near or
at the cooling unit.
• Observe the instructions given by the manufacturer of the cooling unit. Pay special
attention to filling up and bleeding the pumps properly as they may be damaged
if operated when dry.
• Draining coolant into the sewer system is not allowed.
1. Open the bleed valve at the cooling unit.
2. Open the inlet valve and the outlet-side drain valve of one cubicle. Keep the outlet
valve and the inlet-side drain valve closed.
3. Attach a hose to the outlet-side drain valve and lead it into a suitable container.
4. Fill the circuit with coolant. For the coolant specification, refer to section Coolant
specification (page 132).
To minimize foaming, do not exceed the filling flow rate of 5 l/min
(1.3 US gallon/min).
5. As the piping and modules in the cubicle fills up, coolant starts to flow from the
hose. Let some coolant flow out, then close the drain valve.
6. Close the inlet valve.
7. Repeat steps 2…6 for all cubicles in the line-up.
8. Open the inlet and outlet valves in all cubicles. Let any air remaining in the system
out through the bleed valve at the cooling unit.
Internal cooling circuit 131

9. Close the bleed valve at the cooling unit.


10. Continue to fill in coolant until a base pressure of approximately 250 kPa is
achieved.
11. Open the bleed valve of the pump to let out any air.
12. Re-check the pressure and add coolant if necessary.
13. Start the coolant pump. Let any air remaining in the system out through the bleed
valve at the cooling unit.
14. After one to two minutes, stop the pump or block the coolant flow with a valve.
15. Re-check the pressure and add coolant if necessary.
16. Repeat steps 13…15 a few times until all air is let out of the cooling circuit. Listen
for a humming sound and/or feel the piping for vibration to find out if there is
still air left in the circuit.

Draining the internal cooling circuit


The modules in each cubicle can be drained through the drain valves without draining
the whole internal cooling circuit.

WARNING!
Hot, pressurized coolant can be present in the cooling circuit. Do not work on
the cooling circuit before the pressure is released by stopping the pumps and
draining coolant.

1. Attach hoses to each drain valve in the cubicle to be drained. Lead the hoses into
a suitable container. Make sure the ends of the hoses are not immersed in coolant
at any point so that air can displace the coolant in the system.
2. Open the drain valves. Wait until all coolant has drained.

Note: Draining coolant into the sewer system is not allowed.


3. If required, dry the piping with compressed oil-free air of less than 6 bar.
4. If the drive is to be stored in temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F),
• dry the cooling circuit with air,
• fill the cooling circuit with coolant specified under Coolant
specification (page 132).
• drain the cooling circuit again.

Maintenance intervals
As a general rule, the quality of the coolant should be checked at intervals of two years.
This can be done by distributors of Antifrogen® L (see www.clariant.com) if a 250
milliliter sample is provided.
132 Internal cooling circuit

Technical data
■ Coolant specification
Coolant type
Antifrogen® L (by Clariant International Ltd, www.clariant.com) 25% or 50% mixture,
available from Clariant distributors and ABB Service representatives.

Note: Do not dilute the coolant. It is ready to use.


Antifrogen® L 25% mixture is usable in storage temperatures down to -16 °C (3.2 °F).
Antifrogen® L 50% mixture is usable in storage temperatures down to -40 °C (-40 °F).
Note that operation below 0 °C (32 °F) is not permitted regardless of the freezing
point of the coolant.

WARNING!
The warranty does not cover damage that occurs from the use of incorrect
coolant.

■ Temperature limits
Ambient temperature: See the technical data of the drive/unit.
Freeze protection: The freezing point of the coolant is determined by the concentration
of heat transfer fluid in the mixture.
The higher the concentration of heat transfer fluid, the higher the viscosity of the
coolant. This results in a higher pressure loss in the system. See Pressure
limits (page 134).
The nominal current ratings of drive system modules apply to an Antifrogen® L / water
solution of 25/75% (volume). With the Antifrogen® L concentration between 25% and
50%, the drive output current must be derated by 1/3 percentage point per 1 p.p.
increase in Antifrogen® L concentration. The drawing below shows the derating factor
(k) in relation to Antifrogen® L concentration.

134 Internal cooling circuit

■ Pressure limits
Base pressure: 250 kPa (recommended); 300 kPa (maximum). “Base pressure” denotes
the pressure of the system compared with the atmospheric pressure when the cooling
circuit is filled with coolant.
Air counterpressure in expansion vessel (with ACS880-1007LC cooling unit): 80 kPa
Design pressure (PS): 600 kPa
Nominal pressure difference: 120 kPa with Antifrogen® L 25% coolant solution, 140
kPa with Antifrogen® L 50% coolant solution. This has to be taken into account when
dimensioning the liquid cooling circuit.
Maximum pressure difference: 160 kPa

■ Coolant flow rate limits


The maximum coolant flow rate for all drive equipment is 1.3 × nominal. See the
technical data chapter for nominal values.

■ Cooling circuit materials


Materials used in the internal cooling circuit are listed below.
• stainless steel AISI 316L (UNS 31603)
• heavy gauge aluminum
• plastic materials such as PA, PEX and PTFE

Note: PVC hoses are not suitable for use with antifreeze.
• rubber gasketing NBR (nitrile rubber).

WARNING!
If you connect external piping to the internal cooling circuit, use only
materials that are specified above. Other materials can cause galvanic
corrosion. If the external piping contains other materials, use a cooling
unit with a heat exchanger (for example, ACS880-1007LC) to keep the
external piping separate from the internal cooling circuit.

■ Derating
Surrounding air temperature derating
In the temperature range +45…55 °C (+113…131 °F), the rated output current is derated
by 0.5 percentage points for every added 1 °C (1.8 °F). The output current can be
138 Technical data

calculated by multiplying the current given in the rating table by the derating factor
(k):

Antifreeze content derating


See section Temperature limits (page 132).

Altitude derating
At altitudes more than 1000 m (3281 ft) above sea level, the output current derating
is 1 percentage point for every added 100 m (328 ft). For example, the derating factor
for 1500 m (4921 ft) is 0.95. The maximum permitted installation altitude is given in
the technical data.
For a more accurate derating, use the DriveSize PC tool.

Supply voltage derating (frame n×R8i inverter units with diode supply unit)
If the DC supply voltage of the inverter unit (U1) is below 810 V (which corresponds to
a drive supply voltage of 600 V AC when a diode supply unit is used), the rated output
current must be derated by multiplying by U1/810 (represented by k in the diagram).

Switching frequency derating


In the switching frequency range 3.0 … 7.5 kHz, the output current is derated by 8
percentage points for each kHz. For example, the derating factor for 5 kHz is 0.84.

Output frequency derating


Below the output frequency of 12 Hz, the output current is derated by 3.5 percentage
points per each Hz. For example, the derating factor for 9 Hz is 0.895.
Above the output frequency of 150 Hz, the output current is derated by 1 percentage
point per each 10 Hz. For example, the derating factor for 175 Hz is 0.975.
Note that this concerns continuous or frequent use in this frequency range. Temporary
use in frequency range below 12 Hz does not cause need for derating.

Typical power cable sizes


The tables below give current carrying capacity (ILmax) for aluminum and copper
PVC/XLPE insulated cables. A correction factor K = 0.70 is used. Time const is the
temperature time constant of the cable.
The cable sizing is based on max. 9 cables laid on the cable trays side by side, three
ladder type trays one on top of the other, ambient temperature 30 °C (EN 60204-1 and
IEC 60364-5-52).

ABB drive products in general utilize 5 and 10 MBd (megabaud) optical components
from Avago Technologies’ Versatile Link range. Note that the optical component type
is not directly related to the actual communication speed.

Note: The optical components (transmitter and receiver) on a fiber optic link must be
of the same type.
Plastic optical fiber (POF) cables can be used with both 5 MBd and 10 MBd optical
components. 10 MBd components also enable the use of Hard Clad Silica (HCS®) cables,
which allow longer connection distances thanks to their lower attenuation. HCS®
cables cannot be used with 5 MBd optical components.
The maximum lengths of fiber optic links for POF and HCS® cables are 20 and 200
meters (65.6 ft and 656 ft) respectively.

Cabinet line-up dimensions


The drive consists of cubicles built into a cabinet line-up. The table below shows the
nominal width and weight of each inverter type. The dimensions are in millimeters
(for inches, divide by 25.4).
Notes:
• The side panels at the left and right ends of the line-up increase the nominal line-up
width by 30 millimeters (1.2”).
• The standard depth of the cabinet line-up is 644 mm (25.35”) excluding protruding
equipment such as handles.
• UL Listed (+C129) units are top cable entry/exit by default.
• Top cable exit increases the height (and free top space requirement) of the cabinet
line-up by 50 mm (2"). Depending on the configuration, top cable exit will also
increase either the width or depth of the cabinet line-up.
• The control electronics of the inverter unit may have to be housed outside the
inverter module cubicles.
The table is followed by selected dimension drawing examples.
