ABB Chapter 1 - Overview

As a standard solution, the ACS 1000 has many of the benefits associated with engineered converters already included. This meets the most common system specifications with minimal engineering. In addition, because the converter is pre-engineered, shorter delivery times to end-users are possible.

The ACS 1000 is available in air-cooled and water-cooled versions. The air-cooled ACS 1000 delivers output powers up to 2400 kVA and is also available with an integrated input transformer. The water-cooled ACS 1000 covers the power range up to 6000 kVA.

The ACS 1000i is an air-cooled version with integrated input transformer and (optional) input contactor.

ABB Chapter 1 - Overview

About 85% of all medium voltage converters are applied in standard appli-cations such as fans, pumps, conveyors and compressors, where the customized engineering content is minimal. The ACS 1000 is ideally suitable for retrofit applications, where only a small portion of the world’s motors are fitted with converters.

The following industries can benefit from this approach:

Cement, mining andminerals

• Grinding mills

• Conveyors

• Fans

• Pumps

Chemical, oil and gas • Compressors

• Extruders

• Pumps

Metals • Blast furnace blowers

• Fans

• Pumps

Pulp and paper • Fans and pumps

Power generation • GT starters

• ID/FD fans and pumps

Water and wastewater

• Pumps

Chapter 1 - Overview ABB

Note: Derating factors may apply. For details see Technical data.

1.3 Key technologyTwo main technology features distinguish the ACS 1000 from other types on the market:

• The motor control platform is based on Direct Torque Control (DTC) which achieves accurate torque and speed performance.

DTC allows the speed of any standard squirrel cage induction motor to be controlled without the need for pulse encoder devices for speed feedback.

• The ACS 1000 has been the first converter to utilize a new power semiconductor switching device. Known as IGCT (Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor), the device provides a less complex, more efficient and reliable converter. This is achieved by fast switching and inherently low losses which mean less cooling is needed.

IGCTs do not require snubber circuits and allow power bridge imple-mentation with fewer power devices than conventional medium voltage converters. While reliability is improved, the physical size of the ACS 1000 is compact.

1.4 Technical benefitsThe technology described above brings many more practical benefits to the ACS 1000, as described within this Catalog.

For instance, the use of IGCTs together with active feedback control by means of an output LC filter results in a sinusoidal output voltage of the converter. This proves useful in retrofit applications, as the converter is compatible with existing squirrel cage motors without the need to derate it. There are no undue voltage rises stressing the motor insulation, and voltage reflections are eliminated on long cable runs.

Furthermore, DTC avoids any torque pulsations, which can be damaging to loads and their associated mechanical connections.

a. The power ratings apply to typical 4-pole motors. For those motors, the frequency converter has a built-in overloadability of 10%. When selecting the frequency converter, it should be observed that the rated current of the ACS 1000 must be higher than or equal to the rated motor current in order to achieve the rated motor power given in the table.

ABB Chapter 1 - Overview

The ACS 1000 is available for use with a separately mounted input isolation transformer (standard) or alternatively with an integrated dry-type transformer. This provides installation flexibility and allows for the use of oil-filled transformers which are typically mounted outdoors.

The ACS 1000 meets all common standards including IEC and EN. In order to meet the requirements of the North American market, the ACS 1000 is also UL and Canadian UL listed. In addition, ABB has under-taken much development work to ensure that the converter adequately meets the requirements of the world’s harmonics standards, such as IEEE 519-1992.

For details refer to ACS 1000 - Applicable codes and standards.

The ACS 1000 features a selection of preprogrammed and standardized application macros for the configuration of inputs, outputs, signal processing and other parameters.

1.5 Benefits for the customerMaximum availability

short repair timeHigh reliability and short repair time result in maximum availability.

High reliability is achieved by:

• Proven technology:

The design of the IGCT used in the ACS 1000 is based on well-proven GTO technology. IGCTs have been used successfully in medium voltage converters for more than 10 years. See Chapter 3 - Hardware design, 3.3.5 IGCT power semiconductor.

• Low parts count:

The fast switching capability of the IGCT allows snubberless circuit topologies. This results in a smaller number of power components which improves the operational reliability. See Chapter 3 - Hardware design, 3.3.3 Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) technology.

• Fuseless design:

The ACS 1000 does not use any medium voltage power fuses which are known to be unreliable and subject to aging. Compared to fuses, power semiconductors used for short circuit protection act extremely fast in case of a fault and therefore limit effectively any potential electrical fault energy flowing into the converter. See Chapter 3 - Hardware design, 3.3.1 Fuseless design.

Short repair time is achieved by:

• Diagnostics system:

A comprehensive self-diagnostic monitoring system generates error messages with information on error type and location. This enables quick and precise localization of disturbances and reduces time spent on fault finding. See Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation, 2.3.2 Diagnostics.

Page 18: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

Chapter 1 - Overview ABB

• Simplicity of power circuit:

The simplicity of the power circuit and the modular design of the hardware do not only lead to extremely high availability but also provide the base for a maintenance and repair concept which is characterized by minimum outage times, e.g. a complete phase module can be exchanged in less than 1 hour. See Chapter 3 - Hardware design.

Top performance Fast and accurate process control in combination with low energy consumption results in top performance.

Fast and accurate process control based on DTC results in high and constant production quality and minimum machinery wear. DTC guarantees:

• Highly dynamic response times without overshoot

• Accurate static speed and torque control

• Smooth output current waveforms resulting in minimum torque ripple.

See Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation, 2.2.1 Direct torque control.

Low maintenance cost Maintenance costs are minimized thanks to extended maintenance periods, low number of maintenance tasks and the possibility to perform maintenance tasks on the running system.

What you need is whatyou get

Customer requirements are precisely met. The flexible design with standard converter components and well-proven control platform allows optimum configuration of the converter system.

• Each converter consists of well-proven and standardized modules, thus minimizing the risk of design errors.

• Water cooling for higher power ratings allows for a very compact design, reducing floor space requirements and minimizing heat losses into the room (minimizing the heat load to the HVAC system of the building).

• Installation and commissioning time is reduced due to standardized procedures and documentation.

Proven ABB medium voltage converter’s control platform:

• Configurable application software and standard interfaces for hardwired I/Os allow optimum integration into the industrial environment.

• Interfaces for all common fieldbus types are available for communi-cation with the overriding control system.

• Standardized control panels and operator interfaces, common for all ABB medium voltage converters, allow simple and user friendly operation.

The most relevant control, monitoring and protection functions which are set with parameters are discussed in this chapter. These functions are integrated in the control system described in Chapter 4 - Control system and process interfaces.

2.2.1 Direct torque controlDirect Torque Control (DTC) enables highest torque and speed control performance ever achieved with medium voltage converters.

2.2.1.1 DTC principle

DTC is an optimized motor control method for AC converter systems, which allows direct control of motor torque and flux. In DTC, each switching instance is determined separately based on the values of actual flux and torque, rather than switching in a predetermined pattern as in conventional PWM flux vector converters.

Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation ABB

Figure 2-4 DTC block diagram

The measured motor currents and DC link voltages are inputs to an adaptive motor model which calculates exact values of torque and flux every 25 μs. Motor torque and flux comparators compare the actual values to reference values which are produced by the torque and flux reference controllers.

Depending on the outputs from the hysteresis controllers, the optimum switching logic directly determines the optimum inverter switch positions every 25 μs. Switching takes place whenever required while in conven-tional Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controlled converters switching is done only in predetermined patterns which results in slower response times.

2.2.1.2 DTC performance and benefits

DTC provides excellent speed control accuracy even without pulse encoder feedback. It virtually eliminates the excitation of any torque resonances on the motor shaft by avoiding explicitly assigned PWM modulation frequencies. Control of the frequency converter is immediate and smooth under all conditions and the audible noise in the motor is considerably reduced compared to other control methods.

The torque response times are up to ten times faster than with conven-tional control methods such as current vector control. This results in minimum torque ripple and most accurate static speed and torque control.

Other DTC benefits Other major features and benefits of DTC are:

• High speed accuracy: typically 0.1% of nominal speed (without speed encoder)

• High torque performance

Full torque at zero speed and very fast torque step response time of <10 milliseconds

• Robust control method

DTC is extremely robust and compensates disturbances and inaccu-racies on supply, motor and load side. This avoids nuisance tripping and increases the reliability of the ACS 1000.

• Low audible motor noise and negligible low torque ripple by avoiding dedicated modulation frequencies

• Minimum inverter switching losses at maximum control performance.

DTC provides fast control without requiring high switching frequency. This is possible because control is NOT based on a fixed PWM modulation frequency. Instead, switching takes place exactly when needed. Conventional PWM control would need >10 kHz switching frequency for equivalent performance.

Requirements for speedencoder

Shaft speed and position are not required (only

high performance appli-cations as for example in

the mining and metal industry require speed

encoders)

Mechanical speed is essential. Requires shaft

speed and position (measured or estimated)

Maximum inverterresponse time

Each inverter switching process is determined

separately (every 25 μs)

Inverter switching is based on average refer-ences to a pulse width modulator resulting in

delays in response and unnecessary switching

DTC performance Figure 2-5 illustrates a typical dynamic speed response caused by a load step.

Figure 2-5 DTC: typical dynamic speed response

In many applications there is no need for speed and position encoders to meet the performance requirements. See Table 2-4 and Technical data for detailed information.

The example in Figure 2-6 shows the response to a setpoint change. Torque response times can be reduced substantially if DTC is used instead of Pulse Width Modulation.

ABB Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation

The scalar control, based on the same hysteresis controllers as DTC, is an open loop control, used for applications where:

• a step-up or step-down transformer is installed between the converter and the motor

• extra long cables from the converter to the motor are used or

• one converter is connected to two parallel motors.

2.2.2 Application parametersThe ACS 1000 is configured and customized by means of application parameters. These parameters can be altered by the user, either by means of the integrated CDP control panel or by using a PC and the DriveWindow software package, as described in Chapter 6 - Options.

Control and monitoring functions of the ACS 1000 can be activated by setting parameters one by one or by invoking a predefined control /operation mode (see Application Note, Control and Operation Modes) which is optimized for a particular application. Therefore some of the functions described in the following sections will be configured automati-cally if an application macro is selected.

2.2.3 Speed control functions

Accurate speed control The static speed control error is typically +0.1% (10% of nominal slip) of the motor nominal speed, which satisfies most industrial applications.

Accurate torque controlwithout speed

feedbackThe ACS 1000 can perform precise torque control without any speed feedback from the motor shaft. With torque rise time less than 10 ms at 100% torque reference step compared to over 100 ms in frequency converters using sensorless flux vector control, the ACS 1000 is unbeatable.

By applying a torque reference instead of a speed reference, the ACS 1000 will maintain a specific motor torque value; the speed will be adjusted automatically to maintain the required torque.

Table 2-5 Typical performance figures for torque control, when direct torque control is used

Speed and torque performance figures meet or exceed the requirements of IEC 61800-4.

Acceleration anddeceleration ramps

ACS 1000 provides two user-selectable acceleration and deceleration ramps. It is possible to adjust the acceleration / deceleration times (setting values: 0...1800 s) and select the ramp shape. The value has to be selected depending on the process. Switching between the two ramps can be controlled via a digital input.

The available ramp shapes are:

• Linear: Suitable for converters requiring long acceleration / deceleration where S-curve ramping is not required.

• S-curve ramps are ideal for conveyors carrying fragile loads, or other applications where a smooth transition is required when changing from one speed to another.

The shape of the ramp can be adjusted via parameters as follows:

S1: Suitable for short acceleration / deceleration times.

S2: Suitable for medium acceleration / deceleration times

S3: Suitable for long acceleration / deceleration times.

Constant speeds Up to 15 constant speeds can be programmed and selected by digital inputs. If activated the external speed reference is overwritten. If the Sequential Control Macro is used a standard set of parameter values is selected automatically.

Full torque at zerospeed

A motor fed by the ACS 1000 can develop short-term motor nominal torque at start-up without any pulse encoder feedback. This feature is essential for constant torque applications. However, if permanent operation at zero speed is required, a pulse encoder has to be used.

ABB Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation

Flying start This feature allows a rotating motor (e.g. a turbo-pump or a fan) to be taken over by the ACS 1000. By means of the flying start function the frequency of the motor is detected and the motor is started-up again by the ACS 1000.

Critical speed The critical speed function is needed for applications where it is necessary to avoid certain motor speeds or speed bands, for example due to mechanical resonance problems. The ACS 1000 makes it possible to set up five different speed settings or speed bands which will be avoided during operation.

Each critical speed setting allows the user to define a low and a high speed limit. If the speed reference signal requires the ACS 1000 to operate within this speed range the critical speeds function will keep the ACS 1000 operating at the low (or high) limit until the reference is out of the critical speed range. The motor is accelerated/decelerated through the critical speed band according to the acceleration or deceleration ramp.

2.2.4 Motor-related functions

Motor ID calculation All ACS 1000 internal motor control parameters will be automatically calculated based on the nameplate data. This procedure is usually performed once during commissioning. However, the procedure can be repeated whenever required (e.g. when the ACS 1000 will be hooked up to another motor).

Flux optimization Flux optimization of the ACS 1000 reduces the total energy consumption and motor noise level when the converter operates below the nominal load. The total efficiency (ACS 1000 and motor) can be improved by 1...10%, depending on the load torque and speed. This function is activated by parameters.

2.2.5 Ride-through functionsThe ride-through function prevents an undervoltage fault when short voltage dips of the main supply voltage occur.

Auxiliary ride-through The auxiliary ride-through function guarantees correct fault indication and proper trip sequencing in the event that the auxiliary power source feeding the converter is lost. The function is activated by a parameter. During ride-through the power for the control circuits of the ACS 1000 is supplied by internal batteries. The ride-through time is limited to 5 sec.

Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation ABB

Power loss ride-through

If the incoming supply voltage is cut off the ACS 1000 will continue to operate in an active but non-torque producing mode by utilizing the kinetic energy of the rotating motor and load. The ACS 1000 will be fully active as long as the motor rotates and generates energy to the ACS 1000. Power loss ride-through can be enabled by parameters.

Automatic restart The ACS 1000 can automatically reset itself after an undervoltage has occurred. This function is activated by two parameters, one to enable the automatic restart function, and one to select the undervoltage waiting time (adjustable between 0 and 600 s).

If the automatic restart feature is activated and an undervoltage is detected in the DC link, the waiting time is started. If the voltage recovers within the selected time, the fault will be reset automatically and the converter resumes normal operation. If the waiting time has elapsed and the voltage has not recovered the converter is tripped and the MCB is opened.

2.2.6 Main circuit breaker controlThe main circuit breaker (MCB) is an important switching and protection device of the converter system. Therefore it is controlled and monitored by the converter.

The feedback signals from the main circuit breaker upon a close or an open command from the converter are monitored. These signals must have the correct status and must arrive within a preset time at the converter:

• If the converter applies a close command and the expected feedback signal does not arrive after a preset time, the close command is reset and the main circuit breaker is tripped.

• If the open command from the converter to the main circuit breaker is a single pulse signal, it is reset after receiving the open feedback signal from the switchgear. If the feedback signal does not arrive after a preset time, a trip command to the main circuit breaker is issued.

External trip signals (e.g. transformer and motor monitoring relays, process trip commands, etc.) can be wired into the MCB "emergency off loop" of the converter. The trip signals are connected in series.

Refer to 5.2 Main circuit breaker for further information.

2.2.7 Input signal source selection and signal processing

Two programmablecontrol locations

The ACS 1000 can receive the Start / Stop / Direction commands and the reference value from the integrated control panel and the Closing /Opening commands for the main circuit breaker from the pushbuttons on the control section door.

28 / 116 3BHS125029 ZAB E01 Rev. D ACS 1000 Technical catalog

38

Page 29: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

ABB Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation

Alternatively, it is possible to predefine two separate external control locations (EXT1 and EXT2) for these signals. The active external control location can be changed via the control panel or via a digital input.

The control panel always overrides the other control signal sources when switched to local mode.

Optionally, the converter can be equipped with a fieldbus adapter module, (see Chapter 6 - Options).

Reference signalprocessing

The ACS 1000 can handle a variety of speed reference schemes in addition to the conventional analog input signal and control panel signals.

• The ACS 1000 reference can be given using two digital inputs: one digital input increases the speed, the other decreases it. The active reference is memorized by the control software.

• The ACS 1000 can form a reference out of two analog input signals by using mathematical functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, minimum selection, and maximum selection.

It is possible to override the actual speed reference with predefined constant speeds (see Constant speeds, page 26).

It is possible to scale the external reference so that the signal minimum and maximum values correspond to a speed other than the nominal minimum and maximum speed limits.

2.2.8 Control and operation modesParameters allow the user the specific configuration of the ACS 1000. They can be set using the CDP control panel.

The control and operation modes consist of preprogrammed parameter sets that are adapted for a specific application. They offer preset signal interfaces for opening/closing the main circuit breaker, starting/stopping the converter system and setting reference values.

Depending on the process, the control and operation mode can be selected, thus enabling a quick and easy start-up of the ACS 1000.

Using a control and operation mode has the advantage that the number of individual parameters to be set during start-up is minimized. All para-meters have factory-set default values. Leaving them unchanged, a good system performance is achieved in typical situations. These default values can be left unchanged or they can be set individually according to the needs of the customer.

The ACS 1000 can be operated with one of the following standard control modes and macros:

Control modes • Speed control

• Torque control

• PID control

2.3 Operation and diagnostics

2.3.1 Local and remote operationThe standard ACS 1000 provides all interfaces for local and remote operation.

Local operation is performed by means of the CDP control panel and the pushbuttons located on the front door of the control section.

When in remote control, the operational commands and the reference value are transmitted to the converter from a remote control station via fieldbus or remote I/O.

2.3.1.1 Selection of local or remote operation

Selecting the local operation is possible if no remote request from the overriding control system is present. The local operation is set directly by pushing the LOC/REM pushbutton on the CDP control panel (See Chapter 4 - Control system and process interfaces, 4.3 Local control devices). An L on the panel display indicates local operation. In remote control, the L is not shown (see circle in Figure 2-7).

Figure 2-7 Setting the control panel to local / remote

Local control When the converter is switched to local control, local operation from the ON/OFF pushbuttons on the converter front door and from the CDP control panel is possible. In local operation mode, no remote control command will be accepted.

Remote control When the converter is switched to remote control, local operation from the pushbutton on the front door of the control unit and from the control panel is disabled. All commands like close/open main circuit breaker, start/stop or speed reference values are only received through the remote control interface, either via hardwired I/Os or via fieldbus.

Emergency off The local emergency off switch on the front door of the control unit is active in local and remote mode.

Start and stopsequences

The converter can be started and stopped either manually from the local control panels or from a remote overriding control system.

If all preconditions for energization are fulfilled, the converter can be switched on by pressing the local ON button.

2.3.1.2 Prevention of local operation

To prevent unauthorized local operation of the ACS 1000, the local mode can be enabled and disabled from the remote overriding control system via hardwired I/O or by entering a password into the local CDP control panel.

Changing the control mode from local to remote and vice versa can be disabled by setting digital input disable local.

2.3.2 Diagnostics

Fault logger In the event of an alarm or a fault in the ACS 1000 or in the equipment monitored by the converter, a specific message can be saved in the fault logger. Information on the 64 most recent alarm and fault events can be stored.

The messages can be called up on local CDP control panel of the ACS 1000 or they can be viewed with one of the following PC-based tools: DriveWindow, DriveDebug or DriveMonitorTM.

Data loggers The ACS 1000 provides two data loggers. Each data logger is capable of monitoring up to six different analog or binary signals. Sample time and trigger level for each signal can be adjusted independently.

The data loggers are set up and their content viewed either using the DriveWindow or DriveDebug tool.

Actual signalmonitoring

Three signals can be displayed simultaneously on the control panel.

2.4 Converter protection functions

2.4.1 Alarm and fault handlingAll relevant system variables of the converter are continuously monitored by the control system of the ACS 1000. Preprogrammed protection functions ensure that these variables remain within certain limits to maintain safe operation of the converter. These internal functions are not programmable by the user. Optionally, the converter can monitor standard and customer specific signals from external equipment. Alarm and trip levels for each signal can be activated and adjusted by parameter settings.

If an alarm or a fault condition occurs in the converter or the related equipment, it will be indicated with an error message on the CDP control panel. The message can also be viewed using either the DriveWindow, DriveDebug or DriveMonitorTM tool.

Two error message levels are used in the converter:

• Alarm (warning): an alarm does not shut down the converter. However, a persisting alarm condition can often lead to a fault if the condition causing the alarm is not corrected. An alarm cannot be reset manually. The alarm message will be deleted from the display as soon as the alarm condition has been corrected.

• Fault: a fault always shuts down the converter. The type of shutdown depends on the origin of the fault.

• Depending on the type of fault, the main circuit breaker (MCB) is opened by the converter or stays closed:

• Class 1 faults (FC 1) open the MCB, e.g.:

DC overvoltage

• Class 2 faults (FC 2) do not open the MCB, e.g.:

Motor overspeed

Since the MCB is controlled and monitored entirely by the converter, no external opening command must be given to the MCB when a fault condition occurs.

In general, a fault condition must be corrected and the fault be manually reset before the converter can be started again.

ACS 1000 Technical catalog 3BHS125029 ZAB E01 Rev. D 33 / 116

Page 34: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation ABB

The faults are entered into the fault logger as they occur and are numbered; the last fault entered always has number 1 assigned to it and the first fault always has the highest number in the fault logger. Information of the fault classification (e.g. FC 1 or FC 2) is also saved when the first fault of the fault class is active. Date and time stamps facilitate fault tracing, especially when a fault leads to several subse-quent faults.

2.4.2 Tripping loopThe tripping loop is a hardwired control circuit provided to trip the MCB directly either via the tripping coil or via the opening coil. Depending on which coil is available, the tripping coil or the opening coil has to be connected to the tripping loop.

For further information refer to Engineering Guidelines, Input Circuit Breaker Control.

2.4.3 Protection functions related to the converter system

Motor stall The ACS 1000 protects the motor if a stall condition is detected. The monitoring limits for stall frequency (speed) and stall time can be set by the user. The user can also select whether the stall function is enabled and whether the converter responds with an alarm or a trip when a stall is detected.

The protection is activated if all the following conditions are fulfilled simul-taneously:

Figure 2-10 Stall region of the motor

1. The output frequency is below the set stall frequency.

2. The converter is in torque limit. The maximum output torque possible for the application is set in a parameter. Although it indirectly effects operation of the motor stall protection, it should not be considered a motor stall parameter.

3. The frequency and torque levels from conditions 1 and 2 have been present for a period longer than the set stall time.

ABB Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation

Underload Loss of motor load may indicate a process malfunction. The ACS 1000 provides an underload function to protect the machinery and the process in such a serious fault condition. This monitoring function checks if the motor load is above the specified load curve. 5 different load curves can be selected by the customer.

Monitoring limits: underload curve and underload time can be chosen as well as the converter response to the underload condition (alarm / trip indication and stop the converter / no reaction).

The protection is activated if all the following conditions are fulfilled simul-taneously:

1. The motor load is below the underload curve selected by the user (see Figure 2-11).

2. The motor load has been below the selected underload curve longer than the time set by the user (underload time).

Figure 2-11 Load curves for underload function

Overspeed The motor speed as determined by DTC is monitored. If the motor speed exceeds the maximum permitted motor speed (user adjustable) a trip is initiated.

Undervoltage In order to detect a loss of the main power supply, the positive and negative DC link voltage levels are monitored. If these voltage levels drop below 70% of their nominal levels, an undervoltage alarm is initiated and power loss ride-through is activated (provided it is selected) (refer to 2.2.5 Ride-through functions). If the DC link voltage levels drop below 65% of their nominal values, an undervoltage trip is initiated.

2.4.4 Internal converter protection functions

Motor phase loss The phase loss function monitors the status of the motor cable connec-tions. The function is useful especially during motor starting:the ACS 1000 detects if any of the motor phases are not connected and refuses to start.

The phase loss function also monitors the motor connection status during normal operation. The motor operating frequency must be above a minimum level in order for this feature to function. Should a motor phase loss be detected a trip is initiated.

Motor overload The 3-phase RMS value of the motor current is monitored and compared with three adjustable thresholds. A pickup delay for each threshold can also be set. In case an overload is detected, an alarm message will be displayed and the converter will be shut down.

Monitoring limit values The values of user selectable signals can be monitored for adjustable low and high limits:

• two speed values

• current value

• two torque values

• two reference values

• two actual values of the PID controller

The digital status of the active limit appears on the control panel display and can also be allocated to a digital output.

Overvoltage The levels of the positive and negative DC link voltage are monitored to detect whether an improper overvoltage condition develops. If these voltage levels rise above 130% of their nominal levels an overvoltage trip is initiated. On rare occasions, a combination of conditions can result in the motor entering a self excitation mode that can cause the DC link voltage to continue to rise, despite the fact that a trip has been initiated. If this condition occurs and if the DC link voltage levels rise above 135% of their nominal levels, a second overvoltage trip is initiated that causes the inner 6 IGCTs to be gated simultaneously such, that the motor windings are effectively shunted together. This eliminates the self excitation voltage that is causing the DC link voltage levels to rise.

Short circuit in therectifier bridge

A short circuit in the rectifier bridge is detected by monitoring the DC link voltage. If a short circuit is detected, a trip is initiated and the converter is disconnected from the supply voltage.

Charging fault The intermediate DC link voltage is monitored while the DC link is energized. If the voltage does not reach a certain level after a preset time, a trip is initiated.

Page 37: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

ABB Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation

Supply phase loss If the voltage ripple in the intermediate DC link rises above a preset level, a trip is initiated because a supply phase may be lost.

Overcurrent Inverter phase currents are monitored. If a preset level is exceeded, a trip is initiated. This protection is implemented both in software and in hardware.

Inverter temperature In order to insure that the inverter section does not exceed the temper-ature limits, the current is monitored and limited to the maximum permitted level.

Air cooling Temperature and fan pressure are monitored to ensure proper function.

Water cooling The operating condition of the cooling circuit is monitored. If any of the monitored signals such as water temperature, water pressure or conduc-tivity exceed a preset limit, a trip is initiated. In addition, the status of the cooling water pumps, the water level in the expansion vessel and the auxiliary fan are monitored.

Short circuit of theinverter

The inverter is monitored to ensure that a short circuit condition does not exist. If a short circuit is detected a trip is initiated.

Ground fault The current in the output filter ground leg is monitored and compared with two thresholds. The first threshold is set to a fixed percentage of the peak value of the nominal inverter current. The second threshold is adjustable and compared with the RMS value of the ground current. If the ground current exceeds one of the thresholds the converter will be shut down.

The ground fault detection includes the ACS 1000 transformer secondary side and the motor.

Operating system The operating system of the microprocessor board monitors different functions within the control software and will initiate a trip if a malfunction is detected. Such faults are displayed as “Control SW fault”. Should one of these faults be detected during operation, the converter should be restarted.

Communication fault Except for the measurement boards all communication links are realized by DDCS (Distributed Drive Control System). A trip is initiated if one of these links fails.

Measurement loss On the ADCVI board (analog digital conversion for voltage and current) analog signals are converted into digital signals. The digital signals are then transmitted via PPCC (fiber-optic bus system) to the interface board which is the main interface to the converter control system.

In order to guarantee proper operation of the protection functions included in the converter, the status of the communication is monitored on the interface board. If a fault is detected a trip is initiated.

Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation ABB

Battery test An automatic presence check (every minute), automatic quality test (once a week), temperature-determined charging, and electronic overcurrent protection ensure that the battery modules are ready to operate at all times if the converter has been equipped with batteries.

2.4.5 External protection functionsExternal converter protection functions require external measuring devices.

Motor winding andbearing temperature

The motor can be protected from overheating by activating the motor winding temperature monitoring function.

The ACS 1000 provides analog inputs for measuring and monitoring the motor winding and bearing temperature.

Values for alarm and trip levels can be set.

For further information refer to Chapter 6 - Options, 6.5 Motor side.

External motorprotection trip

An external motor protection relay can be connected to a predefined protection input of the ACS 1000. The motor protection input is integrated into the tripping loop by a normally closed (NC) contact.

External transformerprotection trip

An external transformer protection relay can be connected to a predefined protection input of the ACS 1000. The transformer protection input is integrated into the tripping loop by a normally closed (NC) contact. This function is not applicable for the ACS 1000i.

Process stop A process stop button or relay can be connected to a predefined input of the ACS 1000. The actual process stop input must be closed during normal operation. If the digital input opens, the converter control initiates a stop command. The stop mode (ramp stop, stop at torque limit, or coast stop) can be selected by a parameter. The main circuit breaker is opened when the converter has come to a stop.

External emergency off The normally closed (NC) contacts of external emergency off switches can be wired into the tripping loop.

For further details see Chapter 4 - Control system and process interfaces.

3.3 Technology

3.3.1 Fuseless designThe ACS 1000 features a fuseless protection concept.

The patented design uses the IGCT power semiconductor for circuit protection.

The IGCT, which is placed between the DC link and the rectifier, can, unlike conventional fuses, directly isolate the inverter of the drive system from the power supply side. This is achieved within 25 microseconds, which is faster than the operational performance of fuses.

Using the IGCT as an integrated protection device leads to a lower parts count within the drive system making the ACS 1000 a converter with outstanding reliability.

The reason why IGCTs are capable of performing a protection function, unlike other power semiconductor devices, lies in their low onstate losses and their ability to turn off at high speed at medium voltage levels.

3.3.2 Input stagesThe ACS 1000 features a 12-pulse diode rectifier input stage. This is adequate for most networks and normally meets the harmonic require-ments demanded by standards such as IEEE 519.

For networks that are more demanding, the ACS 1000 can be supplied optionally with a 24-pulse configuration for air and water-cooled types.

The ACS 1000i (with integrated input transformer) is equipped with a 24-pulse diode rectifier input bridge as a standard configuration.

3.3.3 Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) technologyEach leg of the 3-phase inverter bridge consists of a combination of two IGCTs for 3-level switching operation: with the IGCTs, the output is switched between positive DC voltage, neutral point (NP) and negative DC voltage. Hence, both the output voltage and the frequency can be controlled continuously from zero to maximum using Direct Torque Control.

Chapter 3 - Hardware design ABB

Figure 3-15 3-level voltage source inverter principle

3.3.4 Output stagesAt the converter output a LC filter is used for reducing the harmonic content of the output voltage. With this filter, the voltage waveform applied to the motor is nearly sinusoidal (see Figure 3-16). Therefore, standard motors can be used at their nominal ratings. The filter also eliminates all high dv/dt effects and thus voltage reflections in the motor cables and stresses to the motor insulation are totally eliminated.

• Harmonic heating is virtually eliminated. The converter may be used to supply standard medium voltage motors (existing or new) without applying thermal derating factors.

• Voltage reflection and the associated occurrence of voltage doubling at the motor input terminals is no longer an issue (the causal high frequency content does not exist). Therefore, any standard medium voltage winding insulation system (existing or new) is compatible with the ACS 1000.

• The maximum length of the motor cables is limited to 1000 m. Longer motor cables are available on request.

• Motor bearing failures attributable to capacitively coupled high frequency current are no longer a problem (the causal high frequency common mode voltage is eliminated).

• Motor insulation is not subject to the common mode voltage typical for other converter topologies.

Figure 3-33 Principle of water cooling circuit

Water cooling system The cooling system consists of the following circuits:

• The raw water cooling circuit transfers the heat losses from the water-to-water heat exchanger in the WCU to the exterior. The water flow through the heat exchanger is controlled by a two-way valve. The circuit is designed for the use of industrial cooling water.

• The internal cooling water circuit is filled with deionized water and transfers the heat losses of the main power components to the water-to-water heat exchanger. The closed circuit is equipped with a pressurized expansion vessel.

Optionally, the cooling circuit can be filled with a glycol water mixture for frost-proofing.

• The internal cooling water treatment circuit continuously de-ionizes the internal cooling water to keep the conductivity at a low level. The circuit includes the make-up water connection.

Air cooling system • The auxiliary air-to-water heat exchanger and the internal air circu-lation fan are used for removal of all remaining heat out of the ACS 1000 via the raw water circuit. Therefore, virtually no heat losses are dissipated into the control room (typically < 1 kW, depending on room and water temperature).

• With the option IP42 no air-to-water heat exchanger is used. The control room air is used for cooling. The heat losses of up to 7 kW are dissipated into the control room.

Chapter 3 - Hardware design ABB

3.8.2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)The riveted and folded cabinet construction of the ACS 1000 ensures an extremely strong yet flexible and self-supporting framework which avoids the need for additional skeletal support. Compared with traditional bolted frames the cabinet provides extremely effective protection against electro-magnetic emissions.

The design fulfils the requirements of international standards like UL 347A. Refer to ACS 1000 - Applicable codes and standards for details.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) has been achieved by applying a cabinet design consisting of folded, galvanized sheet metal plates and minimizing the spacing between the rivets. The inside walls of the cabinet are not painted, because paint tends to reduce the effectiveness of metallic bonding which is paramount to successful EMC.

Accordingly, only the front of the ACS 1000 cabinet is painted while all other walls are galvanized. However, the cabinet can be ordered optionally with the whole of the outside painted.

EMC performance is further enhanced by the use of metal cable channels

3.8.3 Door locks and door interlockingAll doors are hinged and locked using carriage key locks.

The doors of the power sections of the converter are electromechanically interlocked with the safety grounding switch and with the main circuit breaker upstream of the converter transformer. This interlock system ensures that none of the power cabinets can be opened until the main source of power is disconnected, the DC link capacitors are discharged and the safety grounding switch is closed. Additionally the same interlock system insures that power cannot be initialized to the converter unless the doors are closed and the safety grounding switch has been opened.

The doors of the control section and of the cooling section (water-cooled type) are not linked to the interlocking system. They can be opened at any time. The high voltage busbar section is located behind the control swing frame and separated from the control section by a bolted protective shield.

The power section doors of all additional cabinets (e.g. additional rectifier cabinet, braking chopper cabinet) are monitored by separate door switches since they are not included in the electromechanical interlock system. These door monitoring switches are wired to the tripping loop of the converter. If any of the doors are opened during operation, the MCB will be tripped immediately.

Figure 4-40 AMC Board

Control panel The AMC controller communicates with the CDP control panel (see Figure 4-39 and Figure 4-41) which is mounted on the door of the control unit. The control panel serves as a local user interface for monitoring, control and operation of the converter and setting of parameters. The communication of the AMC controller with the control panel is accom-plished via a RS-485 link. For further information refer also to section 4.3.1 CDP control panel.

General control tasks General control, protection and monitoring tasks regarding the whole converter as well as all rectifier and line related functions of the converter are implemented in the AMC controller. These tasks include control and monitoring of:

• Main Circuit Breaker (MCB)

• Grounding switch

• Door interlocking

• Cooling system

4.3 Local control devices

4.3.1 CDP control panelThe ACS 1000 is equipped with the CDP control panel, the same panel as used on all frequency converters of the ACS family. The CDP control panel is an intelligent digital control panel with function keypad and LCD display. It provides full control of the frequency converter and allows adjustment of the system parameters.

Chapter 4 - Control system and process interfaces ABB

4.4 Customer I/O interfacesThe standard I/O boards offer a number of preprogrammed analog and digital I/Os which are sufficient for most applications. For a wider range of signal interfaces optional I/O boards can be ordered for water and air-cooled ACS 1000 to provide extended protection for transformer and motor, external cooling equipment (e.g. fans, chillers), on-line synchroni-zation logic and other customer requirements.

• The air-cooled ACS 1000 is equipped with two I/O boards (IOEC1 and IOEC2) as a standard with the option of two additional I/O boards (IOEC3 and IOEC4).

• The air-cooled ACS 1000i is equipped with two I/O boards (IOEC1 and IOEC2) as a standard with the option of two additional I/O boards (IOEC3 and IOEC4).

• The water-cooled ACS 1000 is equipped with three I/O boards (IOEC1, IOEC2, IOEC3) with the option of one additional I/O board (IOEC4).

The actual configuration and the exact number of available signals depends on the selected control and operation mode (refer to Application Note, Control and Operation Modes) as well as on the selected options.

All I/O boards are identical in design with the same number of I/Os. The analog and digital I/Os are floating and galvanically isolated with ratings as indicated in Table 4-7.

While the function of digital and analog inputs are fixed and cannot be altered, the signals allocated to digital and analog outputs can be changed by setting the corresponding parameters accordingly.

Table 4-7 I/O board configuration with number and type of I/O

Refer to Chapter 6 - Options for information on additional interface signals on the optional I/O boards.

ABB Chapter 4 - Control system and process interfaces

4.4.1 Programmable digital and analog outputs

Programmable digitaloutputs

Four digital outputs on the IOEC2 board can be programmed individually. Each output has floating change-over contacts and can be allocated to an internal binary control or status signal via parameter setting.

Examples are:

• ready, running, fault, warning, motor stall, motor temperature alarm / trip, ACS 1000 temperature alarm / trip, reverse rotation selected, external control selected, preset speed limits, DC voltage limits, preset motor current limit, reference limits, loss of reference signal, motor operating at reference speed, process PID controller actual value limits (low, high) etc.

If optional boards IOEC3 and/or IOEC4 are installed, a maximum of 12 additional digital outputs (6 on each board) are available (refer to Chapter 6 - Options).

Programmable analogoutputs

Two programmable analog outputs on each IOEC board are at the user’s disposal.

Depending on the setting of the corresponding parameters, the analog output signals can represent for example:

• motor speed, process speed (scaled motor speed), output frequency, output current, motor torque, motor power, DC link voltage, output voltage, application block output (process PID controller output), active reference, reference deviation (difference between the reference and the actual value of the process PID controller).

The selected analog output signals can be inverted and filtered. The minimum signal level can be set to 0 mA, 4 mA or 10 mA.

4.4.2 Scalable analog inputsEach analog input can be adapted individually to the type and range of the connected input signal:

• Signal type: voltage or current (selectable by DIP switches)

• Signal inversion: if a signal is inverted, the maximum input level corre-sponds to the minimum signal value and vice versa

• Minimum level: 0 mA (0 V), 4 mA (2 V) or by input tuning function (actual input value is read and set as minimum)

• Maximum level: 20 mA (10 V) or by input tuning function (actual input value is read and set as maximum)

• Signal filtering time constant: adjustable between 0.01..10 s.

The offset of the analog inputs can be calibrated automatically or manually.

4.5.1 Control software structureThe control software of the converter is organized into the following functional groups (see Figure 4-43):

• Operating system software (AMCOS)

• Rectifier and inverter control software

• FCB application software for configurable functions

Figure 4-43 Software block diagram of the AMC controller

4.5.2 Operating systemThe AMC Operating System (AMCOS) is a real-time multitasking system providing functions such as task scheduling and FLASH memory management as well as standardized interfaces to the AMC table and services for I/O communication and diagnostics.

The AMC table contains data for motor, rectifier and application control functions including the process I/O image. The AMC table serves also as an interface for data interchange between different software groups.

4.5.3 Motor and control software

Motor control The control software includes control algorithms for Direct Torque Control (DTC), the motor control method for highest torque and speed perfor-mance.

Fault handler The fault handler classifies each detected event and allocates each regis-tered fault to one of several predefined fault classes. The fault classes determine if the main circuit breaker opens in case of a fault or not. Upon an event, the fault handler updates the fault logger and the alarm and fault words of the AMC table and accesses the Main state machine which in turn coordinates the reaction of the converter.

Refer to Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation, 2.4.1 Alarm and fault handling for further information.

Main state machine The Main State Machine (MSM) is a predefined program serving as the prime control place for converter control systems based on the AMC controller. The MSM is called up cyclically by the operating system, reads the drive command words and controls the converter functions such as start, stop and fault sequences, DC link charging and discharging etc. according to the internal state of the converter. It determines the optimum reaction on any event or fault occurring in the converter.

4.5.4 FCB application software The application software which is also implemented on the AMC controller is programmed with a graphical PC software tool, the Function Chart Builder (FCB). The FCB makes use of a function block library which consists of a selection of preprogrammed software blocks.

The application software contains:

• I/O handling routines

• Customer and converter interfaces

• Selection logic for reference and control location

• Fault and alarm monitoring

• Converter operation sequences and interlocking

• Auxiliary device control.

4.5.5 Panel application softwareThe panel application software exchanges information between the AMC table of an AMC controller and the CDP control panel connected to it (see Figure 4-39).

The panel application software provides also the PC interface to DriveWindow.

• Wiring and Busbar Specification (for document details see Chapter 1 - Overview, Table 1-2)

5.2 Main circuit breakerRefer also to Engineering Guidelines, Input Circuit Breaker Control.

Types of MCBs The following types of MCBs can be used:

• Vacuum or gas insulated (SF6) circuit breakers

• Fused contactor

• Vacuum or gas insulated (SF6) controllers / medium voltage starters

5.2.1 Main circuit breaker controlThe Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) must be controlled exclusively by the ACS 1000. This means that a closing request or command is sent from a customer’s local or remote control station to the ACS 1000. The actual closing command is then released from the converter to the MCB.

The closing command from the converter to the MCB (duration can be preset) can be a continuous signal or a single pulse, which is reset as soon as the status feedback MCB IS CLOSED has been received from the switchgear. If this status feedback has not arrived after a preset time, the closing command is reset and a trip of the MCB is initiated.

ACS 1000 Technical catalog 3BHS125029 ZAB E01 Rev. D 77 / 116

Page 78: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

Chapter 5 - Engineering information ABB

The MCB is opened by:

• an MCB OPEN command, either given from the pushbutton on the ACS 1000 or from a remote control station via digital inputs or through a fieldbus adapter

• the hardwired tripping loop (see Section 5.2.2 Tripping loop)

• any trip signal directly given to the MCB.

The opening command from the converter to the MCB - pulse or steady state signal - is reset as soon as the status feedback MCB IS OPEN has been received. The command MCB ORDER TRIP is initiated to open the MCB if the feedback signal has not arrived after a preset time.

The MCB ORDER TRIP is a steady state true signal. When in low status, it directly opens the MCB.

MCB control fault All opening and closing commands to the MCB are monitored for time-out. An alarm or fault message comes up on the display of the CDP control panel if there is something wrong in connection with the control of the MCB.

5.2.2 Tripping loop

General The tripping loop is a hardwired control circuit provided to trip the MCB directly either via the tripping coil or via the opening coil. Depending on which coil is available, the tripping coil or the opening coil has to be connected to the tripping loop.

Signals from customer devices can, but do not have to, be wired into this loop. Each of these signals is monitored by a digital input. These signals can be connected to a terminal strip in the control section of the ACS 1000. If one or several of the signals are not used, a jumper must be put across the corresponding terminals.

For details refer to Engineering Guidelines, Input Circuit Breaker Control.

ACS 1000 tripping loopsignals

The following ACS 1000 contacts are wired to the tripping loop:

• Digital output "MCB ORDER TRIP"

• Emergency off switch on the ACS 1000 front door

The digital output "MCB ORDER TRIP" is initiated:

• if the grounding switch is closed or not completely opened

• when switching off the main circuit breaker and a signal discrepancy between off command and feedback signal is detected

• by main circuit interface board of the ACS 1000 in case of a trip.

Customer signals The following signals from customer devices can, but do not have to, be wired to the tripping loop terminals:

• External emergency off

• Transformer protection trip

The following signal require the optional IOEC3 board:

• Motor protection trip

5.3 Converter input transformer selectionAll ACS 1000 converters must be supplied from an isolation transformer with multiple phase-shifted secondary windings, designed in accordance with the pulse number of the input bridge. For 12-pulse systems the secondary side of the transformer has one star and one delta winding. This creates the 30° phase shift between the two 3-phase secondary windings, that is necessary to facilitate 12-pulse input bridge operation. The secondary windings of transformers for ACS 1000 converters with 24-pulse rectifier bridge are to be designed to provide a 15° phase shift.

A second purpose of the transformer is to provide sufficient impedance to limit the line harmonics to acceptable levels.

The transformer may be an oil-immersed or a dry type. Based on instal-lation requirements of the application, the transformer may be located remote from the ACS 1000 converter or nearby, even integration into the converter is possible. For requirements regarding the maximum cable length between transformer and ACS 1000 see Technical data.

The transformer may be supplied from ABB or alternatively from a third party supplier in accordance with the specifications provided by ABB. The design of the transformer must take into account site-specific line condi-tions (voltage, short circuit capacity, existing harmonics, etc.) to insure compliance with harmonic standards invoked by the specifications. Trans-former quality is critical with respect to effecting proper limitation of harmonic currents and voltages.

When determining the power rating of the transformer, power and efficiency of the motor, power factor and efficiency of the ACS 1000 converter and harmonic loading of the transformer must all be considered.

For selecting an appropriate ABB ACS 1000 transformer or for specifying a generic transformer, please contact your ABB representative.

5.4 Motor selectionRefer also to Technical Requirement Specification, Motors for ACS 1000 Frequency Converters.

ACS 1000 Technical catalog 3BHS125029 ZAB E01 Rev. D 79 / 116

Page 80: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

Chapter 5 - Engineering information ABB

5.4.1 Selection criteria Generally speaking, the motor must be selected and sized as required by the load. Supplying an additional power margin to compensate for PWM inverter operation is not required with the ACS 1000 due to its sinusoidal output waveform. After the motor has been selected (or if an existing motor is being applied) the following parameters are relevant to select the converter and the transformer:

• Load characteristic (the most common characteristic is square torque; for other loads like constant torque or constant power appli-cations, please contact your ABB representative)

• Overloadability requirements

• Motor voltage

• Number of motor poles

• Shaft power (nominal)

• Shaft speed (nominal)

• Rated current (nominal)

• Motor efficiency

• Motor power factor

Special attention must be paid to the motor cooling in variable speed appli-cations. If the motor is self-ventilated, long-time operation at low speeds will usually require some derating to compensate for the reduced cooling.

Depending on the mechanical configuration of the motor, load, gearbox and shaft, there may be some critical speeds within the operating speed range of the converter. The critical speeds have to be known and if they have to be avoided, the appropriate parameter settings have to be made. Special attention has to be paid to variable speed applications using two-pole motors, since there is usually a critical motor speed below its rated speed. For more information see Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation, Critical speed, page 27.

5.4.2 RetrofitDue to its specific topology, the ACS 1000 can supply standard medium voltage motors (existing or new) without applying thermal derating factors. In addition, due to its sinusoidal output waveform, standard medium voltage winding insulation is sufficient.

To avoid risk of bearing currents and related consequential damages, one motor bearing should be insulated (the one at the non-driven shaft end). This is actually a typical accessory even for most direct-on-line operated motors. If, nevertheless, such a bearing is not available (e.g. for older existing motors), a grounding brush can be installed on either shaft end.

84

Page 81: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

ABB Chapter 5 - Engineering information

Although from an electrical point of view no restrictions exist for variable speed operation with retrofit motors, attention should be paid to possible motor and load restrictions, such as insufficient lubrication or reduced cooling at low speed, critical speed areas within the targeted operating range that need to be avoided, etc. Also the maximum (i.e. rated) speed of the motor should under no circumstances be increased without autho-rization from the manufacturer of each component of the converter train concerned.

5.4.3 Load capacity curvesThis chapter provides the necessary information regarding the selection criteria of the motor to match the ACS 1000.

In the example below, the rated frequency and the field weakening point for the motor are based on 50 Hz.

5.4.4 Torsional excitationDue to its sinusoidal output voltage and current waveforms and its superior control performance from DTC, the ACS 1000 will not introduce any significant torsional excitations to the motor shaft. Therefore a torsional analysis for the sake of applying a frequency converter is not required for common applications and normal mechanical shaft arrange-ments.

5.5 Selection of power cablesThe following chapters include recommendations on the power cable selection. Refer also to Technical Specification for Power Cables for further information.

5.5.1 Transformer primary cablesThe cables from the Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) to the transformer primary side has no special requirements. It should carry a voltage rating consistent with the voltage present in the primary circuit. The ampacity rating should be consistent with the size of the transformer being supplied and the protection settings of the protection equipment. Derating of cable ampacity in accordance with maximum expected ambient temperature, raceway fill factors and any other factors required by local electrical codes should be applied. Installation should be in compliance with standard industrial practice for medium voltage equipment.

If required by local electrical code, an equipment safety ground wire should be supplied either separately or by including it in the 3-core cable. The ampacity of this conductor should be in accordance with the code.

5.5.2 Transformer secondary cablesThe cables from the transformer secondary windings to the ACS 1000 main power input buses, are exposed to common mode voltages, resulting from normal inverter operation. For this reason it is necessary to use cables rated for insulation levels of 5 kV (phase to earth) or higher for all transformer secondary connections, regardless of the transformer secondary voltage level (1327 V, 1903 V, or 2305 V). Cables rated for 5 kV are typically used in North America, in Europe and Asia. Cables rated for 6 kV / 10 kV are common.

In order to insure compliance with EMC requirements and to provide a low impedance, high frequency path through which the common mode currents can flow, a shielded cable is recommended. Shields should be terminated and grounded at the shortest possible way at both cable termi-nation points. The ACS 1000 includes a vertical ground bus within the cable termination section in order to facilitate above requirement.

84

Page 83: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

ABB Chapter 5 - Engineering information

A non-shielded cable with a continuous corrugated aluminum armor may be used as an alternative to the shielded cable described above. Steel wire armored or interlocked aluminum armored cables without extra shield should not be used. Cable terminal ends with electrical contact all around its periphery to the armor should be used to terminate the cable ends to earth.

The ampacity rating of the cable should be in consistency with 125% of the transformer nominal output current and the settings of the protection equipment in order to allow for the harmonic content. Derating of cable ampacity in accordance with maximum expected ambient temperature, raceway fill factors and any other factors required by local electrical codes should be applied. Installation should be in compliance with standard industrial practice for medium voltage equipment.

If required by local electrical code, an equipment safety ground wire should be supplied separately. The ampacity of this conductor shall be in accordance with the code.

For information regarding the maximum length of the transformer secondary cables see Technical data.

5.5.3 Motor cablesThere are no special requirements to be considered for the motor cables. The maximum cable length is limited to 1000 m (3281 ft.). Longer motor cables are available on request. A voltage rating consistent with the voltage present at the motor must be selected. The ampacity rating should be consistent with the size of the motor being supplied and the overload settings of the motor protection software. Derating of cable ampacity in accordance with maximum expected ambient temperature, raceway fill factors, and any other factors required by local electrical codes should be applied. Installation should comply with standard industrial practice for medium voltage equipment.

Cable screening is not required for the motor cables, since the converter output voltage and current are sinusoidal. Therefore no measures against common mode currents are needed.

If required by local electrical code an equipment safety ground wire should be supplied separately. The ampacity of this conductor shall be in accor-dance with the code.

Motor cables are terminated within the ACS 1000 cabinet in the same way as the transformer secondary cables (see Chapter 7 - Installation guide-lines, Figure 7-58).

5.5.4 Power cable dimensionsIn order to determine the exact dimensions for a specific project, the actual situation (method of installation, voltage drop due to cable length etc.) and local regulations must be considered. Refer also to the specifications supplied by the power cable manufacturer.

Table 6-9 I/O signals for extended transformer monitoring

The analog input "Oil Temperature" is suitable for an actual value in the range of 0..20 mA / 4..20 mA (or 0..10 V / 2..10 V) and can be used instead of the digital temperature alarm and trip inputs. The analog signal is monitored by the ACS 1000 for alarm or trip levels.

Refer to Temperature transducers for PT100, page 97, if a temperature transducer for PT100 is required.

Common mode choke This option is needed if the cable length between the converter trans-former and the ACS 1000 exceeds the following limits:

• 30 m (98 ft.) for ACS 1000, 12-pulse versions and

• 20 m (66 ft.) for ACS 1000, 24-pulse versions

If the cables are longer than the limits below, the ABB representative should be contacted:

• 200 m (656 ft.) for ACS 1000, 12-pulse versions and

• 150 m (492 ft.) for ACS 1000, 24-pulse, (water-cooled types only)

The common mode choke functions like a transformer. Together with the common mode damping resistor it provides damping of the common mode voltages and limits the common mode currents experienced by the main power transformer and transformer secondary cables.

Pulse encoderinterface module

The module allows a pulse encoder to be connected to the ACS 1000. A pulse encoder is advantageous in applications where the flying start function is used. The actual frequency of the rotating motor can be detected faster and rapid start-up by the converter can be achieved. It is also recommended if a highly accurate read-out of the speed is required.

Another application for a pulse encoder would be for motors running at speeds below 5 Hz for longer periods.

The requirements for a pulse encoder are as follows:

• Supply voltage 12 VDC or 24 VDC (supplied by the module)

• Single-ended or differential connection can be used

• Available signal channels: A, A inverted, B (90° electr. phase shift to A), B inverted (Z (zero channel), Z inverted - optional)

• The encoder should provide 2n pulses/revolution. The recommended pulse train is 2048 pulses/revolution. Maximum signal frequency should not exceed 100 kHz.

The module is fed from the ACS 1000 internal control power supply.

Increased outputfrequency

The ACS 1000 can be ordered with an increased output frequency of 82.5 Hz as a maximum. This option requires an optimized sine filter configuration.

Braking chopper Effective motor braking and short deceleration times can be achieved by using resistor braking. For resistor braking, the ACS 1000 must be equipped with a braking chopper and a braking resistor.

Braking choppers are available for all ACS 1000 types.

The operation of the braking chopper is controlled by the ACS 1000 control system. The braking chopper hardware is located in an additional cabinet.

The input currents of the braking chopper are monitored for overcurrent and unbalance in order to detect any defective component in the circuit. In case a short circuit or an unbalanced voltage in the braking chopper is detected a converter trip is initiated.

Braking chopper and braking resistors are each monitored for overtemper-ature by means of thermal models. Alarm and trip levels are determined and set during commissioning.

For more information about braking chopper and braking resistor, see the resistor specification or contact your ABB representative.

Braking resistor The braking resistor has to be specified individually for each project by the factory. For further information contact your ABB representative.

6.6 Converter coolingRedundant cooling fan

(ACS 1000A)The redundant cooling fan is an option intended for applications where enhanced reliability of the installation is required.

The redundant fan unit is supplied as a separate unit to be mounted on top of the ACS 1000 converter. If delivered together with the ACS 1000, both fans are already mounted in the unit.

With this option, continuous operation of the converter is guaranteed even if one fan fails. Switch-over from the faulty to the stand-by device takes place automatically. To replace the faulty unit, the converter must be stopped. The replacement of a fan takes about 30 minutes.

If this option is ordered the derating of the converter output power needs to be considered (see Technical data, Environment).

Redundant coolingfans (ACS 1000i)

The redundant cooling fans are an option intended for applications where enhanced reliability of the installation is required.

The redundant fan units (always two units) are supplied as separate units to be mounted on top of the ACS 1000i (see Chapter 1 - Overview, Figure 1-3). If delivered together with the ACS 1000i, all four fans (the two standard fans and the two optional fan units) are delivered separately.

With this option, continuous operation of the converter is guaranteed even if one fan fails. Switch-over from the faulty to the stand-by device takes place automatically. To replace the faulty unit, the converter must be stopped. The replacement of a fan takes about 30 minutes.

Redundant coolingpump (ACS 1000W)

The water-cooled ACS 1000 can be equipped with a second pump [P2] in the cooling water circuit. This option is needed when continuous operation of the converter is required in case of a pump failure in the cooling unit. The redundant pump is installed in the cooling unit of the ACS 1000.

Redundant cooling fan(ACS 1000W)

The water-cooled ACS 1000 can be ordered with a redundant cooling fan, if continuous operation is required in case a fan fails.

The redundant fan unit is supplied as a separate unit and is mounted on top of the ACS 1000. This option is needed when continuous operation of the converter is required in case of a fan failure.

3-way valve(ACS 1000W)

The cooling unit of the ACS 1000 can be ordered with a 3-way valve in the raw water circuit. This option is required if the raw water flow must be kept at a constant rate. If the cooling unit is equipped with a 3-way valve, the water-to-water heat exchanger is bypassed and the total raw water flow is kept constant even if the water flow in the heat exchanger varies.

Raw water circuit(ACS 1000W)

The material of the raw water circuit is stainless steel (AISI316).

Raw water connectionflanges (ACS 1000W)

Connecting flanges mounted to the right side of the ACS 1000. Counter flanges are provided.

This option cannot be ordered in combination with the option braking chopper.

Raw water shut-offvalves (ACS 1000W)

Shut-off valves mounted between the connection flanges and their counter flanges.

Space heater fortropicalized version

A space heater is typically required in places/countries with high ambient humidity. It is switched on automatically when the converter is not in operation in order to prevent condensation.

The heater consists of several heating elements with a rated power of 100 W each rated for 110...240 VAC supply voltage (50 / 60 Hz).

Monitored air filter(ACS 1000A/i)

The air-cooled ACS 1000 can be supplied with air filter mats which have a finer mesh than the standard air filter mat. There are filter mats available with a 10 μm and a 12 μm fine mesh.

The optional air filter mats should be selected if the air contamination level exceeds IEC 721-3-3, Class 3C2 (for chemical gases) or IEC 721-3-3, Class 3S1 (for solid particles).

Air filter mats with finer mesh are monitored by measuring the pressure difference across the filter. An alarm is displayed if the filter is clogged.

The filter mat which is mounted at the converter air intake can be changed while the converter is in operation.

If the ACS 1000 is ordered with an air filter with finer mesh, the derating of the converter output power needs to be considered (see Technical data, Environment).

ABB Chapter 7 - Installation guidelines

7.4 Power equipment installation

7.4.1 GeneralThe connection from the mains supply to the ACS 1000 consists of six basic elements:

• Main circuit breaker / controller

• Instrumentation and protection equipment

• Transformer primary cables

• Transformer

• Transformer secondary cables

• Cable termination - ACS 1000

All applicable manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations must be followed when installing this equipment. If any of the stated instruction appears to be in conflict with the requirements, please contact your local ABB representative for further assistance.

Refer to Chapter 2 - Functional description, operation and Chapter 5 - Engineering information, 5.2 Main circuit breaker for information regarding the main circuit breaker / controller, instrumentation and protection equipment.

Refer to Chapter 5 - Engineering information, 5.5 Selection of power cables for requirements on transformer primary and secondary cables, motor cables, power cable dimensions and equipment grounding.

Refer to Chapter 5 - Engineering information, 5.6 Control cabling and Chapter 5 - Engineering information, 5.7 Auxiliary power cables for requirements on control cables and auxiliary power cables.

7.4.2 Cable routing

Power cables Routing of mains and motor cables must be carried out in compliance with the local regulations and according to the specifications and recommen-dations of the cable manufacturer.

• For best EMC performance, shielded 3-phase cables are recom-mended.

• If single phase cables are used, the cables with the three different phases must be grouped close together to ensure best EMC perfor-mance.

• Phase interchange must be accomplished according to local regula-tions.

• For high power ratings, a maximum of two cables per motor phase can be accommodated by the entry plates of the ACS 1000.

ACS 1000 Technical catalog 3BHS125029 ZAB E01 Rev. D 107 / 116

Page 108: ABB ACS 1000 Tech Catalog RevD[1]

Chapter 7 - Installation guidelines ABB

• If the cross-section of the cable shielding is less than 50% of the cross-section of one phase, an additional grounding wire should be laid along the power cables to avoid excessive heat losses in the cable shieldings. Please refer to the local regulations for further details.

Cable termination Cables must be terminated with connectors according to the cable manufacturer’s requirements.

Ground wire Routing of the ground connection must comply with local regulations.

Control cables Control cables should not be laid in parallel to the power cables. If this cannot be avoided, a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) must be maintained between control and power cables.

Control and power cables should be crossed at an angle of 90°.

7.4.3 ACS 1000 cable entry and termination (only ACS 1000A/W)Access to the power termination section of the ACS 1000 is via the control cabinet, located on the left of the converter. A bolted access door is located behind the control swing frame. Once the access door is opened, all power terminations are readily available. As an aid to interfacing the main power connections, removable bus stubs are included.

Cables can be entered through the cabinet roof (see Figure 7-55) or floor (see Figure 7-56). If the cable entry is from below, the entry plates mounted on top of the cable termination section must be relocated to the bottom and the bottom cover plate must be fixed to the top of the cabinet.

Figure 7-55 Top cable entry

Undrilled entry plates are available optionally. The ACS 1000i is delivered only with undrilled entry plates.

Chapter 8 - Ordering information

8.1 GeneralThis chapter provides assistance when selecting the appropriate converter and the included options.

Links to otherdocuments

List of references to other documents in this chapter:

• Technical data (for document details see Chapter 1 - Overview, Table 1-2)

• Type Code, (for document details see Chapter 1 - Overview, Table 1-2)

8.2 Converter selectionThe basic converter configuration and dimensioning is done by ABB sales based on the customer’s application specification and by using specialized configuration tools.

In general, the ACS 1000 converter is selected according to the rated motor power. The rated output current of the ACS 1000 should be checked to ensure that it is higher than or equal to the rated motor current.

If a motor with six or more poles is used, the nominal motor current usually increases as compared to a motor with fewer poles. This may result in a different output filter configuration (see 8.2.1 ACS 1000 output filter). In such cases, please contact your ABB representative for further assistance before making a final converter selection.

When determining the appropriate size of the ACS 1000 converter for a particular application, the following factors need to be considered:

• Ambient temperature

• Temperature of the cooling media

• Installation site altitude

• Frostproofing of the cooling water

• Presence of a redundant cooling fan

• Type of air filter

Refer to Technical data for information on:

• Rating tables

• Ambient conditions.

Chapter 8 - Ordering information ABB

8.2.1 ACS 1000 output filterThe standard ACS 1000 output filter is appropriate for 2 to 6-pole motors. For higher numbers of poles a different filter configuration is sometimes needed. The modular and flexible filter design allows the ACS 1000 to be configured for 2 to 20-pole motors (and even higher numbers of poles). To determine the appropriate ACS 1000 configuration please contact your ABB representative.

8.2.2 Non-quadratic load applicationsFor constant torque or constant power applications a high overloadability (start-up torque) is usually required. This overloadability, together with possibly needed derating for low speed operation, requires some additional calculations for converter selection. To determine the appro-priate ACS 1000, please contact your ABB representative.

Filter mats Depending on the mesh size of the filter mat the following derating of the output power applies:

Table 7 Derating factors for output power

Redundant cooling fan The converter output power must be reduced by 7.5% if a redundant fan is installed.

Environment

Operation

Ambient temperature 0…+40 °C (32…104 °F)

Above +40 °C (+104 °F) the rated output power decreases by 1.5 % for each additional 1 °C (0.85 % for each 1° K) up to the maximum permitted temperature of +50 °C (+122 °F).

Example: If the ambient temperature is 50 °C the derating is calculated as 100% - 1.5 %/°C · 10 °C = 85%. Hence, the maximum output power is 85% of the rated value.

Contamination levels The maximum permitted contamination levels for printed circuit boards without coating, installed in the ACS 1000, comply with the following standards:

• IEC 721-3-3, Class 3C2 for chemical gases

• IEC 721-3-3, Class 3S2 for solid particles

Relative humidity 5…95% in the absence of condensation

5…60% in the presence of corrosive gases

Installation altitude 4.0 kV motor voltage: up to 3000 m (9843 ft)

3.3 kV motor voltage: up to 4000 m (13123 ft)

2.3 kV motor voltage: up to 5500 m (18043 ft)

At locations 2000 m (6600 ft) above sea level, the reduction of the rated converter output power by 1% per additional 100 m (330 ft) must be accounted for. Possibly, a converter with a higher output power must be selected (The rated motor power in Table 1 and Table 2 can be taken as guidance value for the converter output power).

Derating of drive power

Ambient temperatureThe derating factor for air-cooled converters with enclosure class IP21 is as follows:

Above +40 °C (+104 °F) the rated output current is decreased by 1.5% for each additional 1 °C (0.85 % for each 1 °F) up to the maximum permitted temperature of +45 °C (+113 °F).

Example: If the ambient temperature is 45 °C the derating factor is calculated as 100% - 1.5 %/°C · 5 °C = 92.5%. Hence, the maximum output current is 92.5% of the rated value.

Derating for air filtersDepending on the mesh size of the filter mat the derating factors as stated in Table 8 apply to the rated output power:

Table 8 Derating factors for air filters

Derating for redundant cooling fanIf a redundant cooling fan is installed the derating factor for the rated output power is 7.5%.

Installation site altitudeThe rated output power is reduced by 1% for each additional 100 m (330 ft) at sites higher than 2000 m (6600 ft) above sea level.

Auxiliary power supplyThe converter requires auxiliary power for cooling fans and control electronics.

The total auxiliary power can be fed to the converter by a 3-phase power supply (see Table 3). Optionally, the auxiliary power for the control electronics can be supplied separately by a 1-phase supply (see Table 4) which can be backed up by a UPS if required.

If only a 3-phase supply provides the auxiliary power, the values for the auxiliary power consumption in Table 3 and Table 4 must be added to obtain the total power to be supplied.

Alternatively, the medium voltage transformer can be tapped to supply the converter with the required auxiliary power. This option can only be selected for 60 Hz supply voltage.

Environment

Operation

Ambient temperature 0…+40 °C (32…104 °F)

Above +40 °C (+104 °F) the rated output power decreases by 1.5% for each additional 1 °C (0.85% for each 1° K) up to the maximum permitted temperature of +50 °C (+122 °F).

Example: If the ambient temperature is 50 °C the derating is calculated as 100% - 1.5 %/°C · 10 °C = 85%. Hence, the maximum output power is 85% of the rated value.

Contamination levels The maximum permitted contamination levels for printed circuit boards without coating, installed in the ACS 1000, comply with the following standards:

• IEC 721-3-3, Class 3C2 for chemical gases

• IEC 721-3-3, Class 3S2 for solid particles

Relative humidity 5…95% in the absence of condensation

5…60% in the presence of corrosive gases

Installation altitude Up to 3000 m (9843 ft)

At locations 2000 m (6600 ft) above sea level, the reduction of the rated converter output power by 1% per additional 100 m (330 ft) must be accounted for. Possibly, a converter with a higher output power must be selected (The rated motor power in Table 1 can be taken as the guidance value for the converter output power).

Derating of drive power

Ambient temperatureThe derating factor for air-cooled converters with enclosure class IP21 is as follows:

Above +40 °C (+104 °F) the rated output current is decreased by 1.5% for each additional 1 °C (0.85 % for each 1 °F) up to the maximum permitted temperature of +45 °C (+113 °F).

Example: If the ambient temperature is 45 °C the derating factor is calculated as 100% - 1.5 %/°C · 5 °C = 92.5%. Hence, the maximum output current is 92.5% of the rated value.
