 Safety information Product information Mechanical installation Electrical Installation Technical data UL Information

1.11 Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be
ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified
speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan
becomes less effective, causing a fire hazard. The motor should be
installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent
fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is
essential that the correct value is entered in the Motor Rated Current
parameter.

1.12 Mechanical brake control

Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated
operation of an external brake with the drive. While both hardware and
software are designed to high standards of quality and robustness, they
are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure
would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect
operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury,
independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be
incorporated.

1.13 Adjusting parameters

Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.

1.14 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided
in the relevant Power Installation Guide. If the installation is poorly
designed or other equipment does not comply with suitable standards
for EMC, the product might cause or suffer from disturbance due to
electromagnetic interaction with other equipment. It is the responsibility
of the installer to ensure that the equipment or system into which the
product is incorporated complies with the relevant EMC legislation in the
place of use.

2.4.1 No overload, Normal duty and Heavy duty overload ratings

The drive is rated for different levels of overload.
1. No overload.
This rating gives the maximum level of output current with zero overload. If the rated current (Pr 05.007) is set above the no overload rating the
current limit maximums will be set up to prevent the drive current exceeding the maximum rated current defined by Maximum rated current
(Pr 11.060).

2. Normal duty.
The Normal duty rating gives 110 % overload for the times stated in Table 2-4. For applications which use Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction
motors and require a low overload capability, and full torque at low speeds is not required (e.g. fans, pumps).

3. Heavy Duty.
The Heavy duty rating gives 140 % overload for the times stated in Table 2-4. For constant torque applications, applications which require a high
overload capability, or full torque is required at low speeds (e.g. winders, hoists).

2.4.2 Typical short-term overload limits

The maximum percentage overload limit changes depending on the selected motor. Variations in motor rated current, motor power factor and motor
leakage inductance all result in changes in the maximum possible overload.
Typical values are shown in the table below for RFC and open loop (OL) modes:

Table 2-4 Typical overload limits

Operating mode RFC from cold RFC from 100 % Open loop from cold Open loop from 100 %

Normal Duty overload with motor rated current =

110 % for 180 s 110 % for 10 s* 110 % for 180 s 110 % for 10 s*
drive rated current
Heavy Duty overload with motor rated current =
140 % for 60 s 140 % for 10 s 140 % for 60 s 140 % for 10 s
drive rated current

* 12407200T rating provides 110 % for 3 s from rated normal duty current. 110 % is available for 10 s when limited to 850 A continuous.
12406600T and 12405660T support 110 % for 10 s.
Generally, the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current allowing a higher level of overload than the default setting. The time
allowed in the overload region is proportionally reduced at very low output frequency on some drive ratings.

NOTE
The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.

4.3 Output short circuit protection

The drive modules are provided with fast-acting electronic short-circuit protection which limits the fault current to typically no more than five times
the rated output current and interrupts the current in approximately 20 μs. No additional short-circuit protection devices are required. Refer to the
Unidrive M700, M701, M702 Control User Guide. CT Part Number: 0478-0353.

4.4 Motor overload protection

The drive modules are provided with overload protection for the motor and the motor cable.
For this to be effective, the drive overload protection parameter ‘Rated Current (Pr 00.046)’ must be set to the rated motor current as marked on the
motor rating plate. For details of how to adjust the drive parameters, refer to the Unidrive M700, M701, M702 Control User Guide. CT Part Number:
0478-0353.

Parameter Pr 00.046 ‘Motor Rated Current’ must be set correctly to avoid a risk of fire in the event of motor overload.

12406600T and 12405660T support 110 % for 10 s.
Generally, the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current allowing a higher level of overload than the default setting. The time
allowed in the overload region is proportionally reduced at very low output frequency on some drive ratings.

NOTE
The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.

4.5 Use of a residual current device (RCD)

There are three common types of ELCB / RCD:
• AC - detects AC fault currents
• A - detects AC and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC current reaches zero at least once every half cycle)
• B - detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC fault currents
Type AC should not be used with variable speed drives.
Type A can only be used with single phase drives
Type B is the only type suitable for use with three phase, variable speed drives

RCD types
Only type B ELCB / RCD are suitable for use with 3 phase inverter drives.
WARNING

If an external EMC filter is used, a delay of at least 50 ms should be incorporated to prevent spurious tripping. The leakage current is likely to exceed
the trip level if all phases are not energized simultaneously.
NOTE
RCD's with trip levels of less than 100 mA are not supported with this product.

4.6.6 24 Vdc supply

The 24 Vdc supply connected to control terminals provides the following functions:
It can be used to supplement the drive’s own internal 24 V supply when multiple option modules are being used and the current drawn by these
modules is greater than the drive can supply.
It can be used as a back-up power supply to keep the control circuits of the drive powered up when the line power supply is removed. This allows any
fieldbus modules, application modules, encoder or serial communications to continue to operate.
It can be used to commission the drive when the line power supply is not available, as the display operates correctly. However, the drive will be in the
Under Voltage trip state unless either line power supply or low voltage DC operation is enabled, therefore diagnostics may not be possible.
NOTE
Power down save parameters are not saved when using the 24 V back-up power supply input
If the DC bus voltage is too low to run the main SMPS in the drive, then the 24 V supply can be used to supply all the low voltage power
requirements of the drive. Low Under Voltage Threshold Select (Pr 06.067) must also be enabled for this to happen.

4.7 Low voltage operation

With the addition of a 24 Vdc power supply to supply the control circuits, the drive is able to operate from a low voltage DC supply with a range from
24 Vdc to the maximum DC volts. It is possible for the drive to go from operating on a normal line power supply to operating on a much lower supply
voltage without interruption.
Going from low voltage operation to normal mains operation requires the inrush current to be controlled. This may be provided externally.
If not, the drive supply can be interrupted to utilize the normal soft starting method in the drive.
To fully exploit the low voltage mode of operation, the under voltage trip level is now user programmable. For application data, contact the supplier of
the drive.
The working voltage range of the low voltage DC power supply is as follows:
Minimum continuous operating voltage: 26 V
Minimum start up voltage: 32 V
Maximum over voltage trip threshold: 415 V

NOTE
Cable sizes are from IEC60364-5-52:2009 table B.52.3 with correction factor for 40 °C ambient of 0.91 (from table B52.14) for cable installation
method B2 C (single core on a wooden wall).
Cable size may be reduced if a different installation method is used, or if the ambient temperature is lower.
The recommended cable sizes above are only a guide. The mounting and grouping of cables affects their current-carrying capacity, in some cases
smaller cables may be acceptable but in other cases a larger cable is required to avoid excessive temperature or voltage drop. Refer to local wiring
regulations for the correct size of cables.

NOTE
Cable sizes indicated are XLPR/EPR insulated.

NOTE
The recommended output cable sizes assume that the motor maximum current matches that of the drive. Where a motor of reduced rating is used the
cable rating may be chosen to match that of the motor. To ensure that the motor and cable are protected against overload, the drive must be
programmed with the correct motor rated current.
A fuse or other protection must be included in all live connections to the AC supply.

NOTE
Fuse types
The fuse voltage rating must be suitable for the drive supply voltage.
The recommended IEC class fuses for Power Module Frame 12 are:

• 575 V / 690 V - Mersen Protistor size 30 Part number PC30UD69V400TF
Ground connections
The drive must be connected to the system ground of the AC supply. The ground wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of practice.

4.9 Output circuit and motor protection Figure 4-5 Preferred chain connection for multiple motors

The output circuit has fast-acting electronic short-circuit protection which

limits the fault current to typically no more than five times the rated
output current and interrupts the current in approximately 20 µs. No
additional short-circuit protection devices are required.
The drive provides overload protection for the motor and its cable. For
this to be effective, Pr 00.046 Motor rated current must be set to suit the
motor.

Pr 00.046 Motor rated current must be set correctly to avoid

a risk of fire in the event of motor overload.
WARNING

There is also provision for the use of a motor thermistor to prevent over-
heating of the motor, e.g. due to loss of cooling.
4.9.1 Motor winding voltage
The PWM output voltage can adversely affect the inter-turn insulation in
the motor. This is because of the high rate of change of voltage,
in conjunction with the impedance of the motor cable and the distributed
nature of the motor winding.
For normal operation with AC supplies up to 500 Vac and a standard
motor with a good quality insulation system, there is no need for any
special precautions. In case of doubt the motor supplier should be
consulted.
Figure 4-6 Alternative connection for multiple motors
Special precautions are recommended under the following conditions,
but only if the motor cable length exceeds 10 m:
• AC supply voltage exceeds 500 V
• Operation of 400 V drive with continuous or very frequent sustained
braking
• Multiple motors connected to a single drive
For multiple motors, the precautions given in section 4.9.2 Multiple
motors should be followed.
For the other cases listed, it is recommended that an inverter-rated
motor be used. This has a reinforced insulation system intended by the
manufacturer for repetitive fast-rising pulsed voltage operation.
Users of 575 V NEMA rated motors should note that the specification for
inverter-rated motors given in NEMA MG1 section 31 is sufficient for
motoring operation but not where the motor spends significant periods
braking. In that case an insulation peak voltage rating of 2.2 kV is
recommended.
If it is not practical to use an inverter-rated motor, an output choke
(inductor) should be used. The recommended type is a simple iron-cored
component with a reactance of about 2 %. The exact value is not critical.
This operates in conjunction with the capacitance of the motor cable to
increase the rise-time of the motor terminal voltage and prevent
excessive electrical stress.
4.9.2 Multiple motors
Open-loop only
If the drive is to control more than one motor, one of the fixed V/F modes
should be selected (Pr 05.014 = Fd or SrE). Make the motor connections 4.9.3 / Δ motor operation

2. Additional measures to prevent unwanted emission of radio
frequency noise. These are optional and only required where the
installation is subject to specific requirements for radio frequency Twisted pair shield
emission control.
To ensure correct transfer of data, observe the following:
Resolver connections:
• Use a cable with an overall shield and twisted pairs for the resolver
signals.
• Connect the cable shield to the drive 0 V connection by the shortest
possible link ("pigtail").
• It is generally preferable not to connect the cable shield to the
resolver. However, in cases where there is an exceptional level of
common-mode noise voltage present on the resolver body, it may be
helpful to connect the shield there. If this is done then it becomes
essential to ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtails" at both
shield connections, and possibly to clamp the cable shield directly to
the resolver body and to the drive grounding bracket.
• The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are
unavoidable, ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the
shield connections at each interruption.
Encoder connections:
• Use a cable with the correct impedance.
• Use a cable with individually shielded twisted pairs.
• Connect the cable shields to 0 V at both the drive and the encoder,
using the shortest possible links ("pigtails").
• The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are
unavoidable, ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the
shield connections at each interruption. Preferably, use a connection
method which provides substantial metallic clamps for the cable
shield terminations.
The above applies where the encoder body is isolated from the motor
and where the encoder circuit is isolated from the encoder body. Where
there is no isolation between the encoder circuits and the motor body,
and in case of doubt, the following additional requirement must be
observed to provide the best possible noise immunity.
