CE-marking
All electrical units and plants of the electrical drives technique may cause electromagnetic disturbances and
may be influenced by such disturbances. Therefore, since 1.1.1996 they are subject to
EMC directive 89/336/EWG,

The MX frequency inverters have an operating voltage which is clearly in the range of 50 ... 1000 V AC
or 75 ... 1500 V DC. Therefore, they are also subject to
low-voltage directive 73/23/EWG, binding from 1.1.1997.

Frequency inverters are not considered as machines with mechanical moveable parts (one as a minimum).
Therefore, machine directive 89/392/EWG is not supplicable.

The frequency inverters MX have a CE-mark on the power plate.


To achieve the relevant limits it is necessary to observe the installation regulations.

In combination with the available filter options CE the frequency inverters MX


observe the EMC-Directive 89/336/EWG and the
Low-Voltage-Directive 73/23/EWG, that means conformity with:

EN 61800-3 and EN 50178


Installation regulations:

 Ordering the frequency inverter with the option "CE-filter" (to be built-in during manufacturing into
sizes 1 and 2, external for sizes 3 to 5) or use of an equivalent external filter solution.
 Mounting on a well earthed metallic mounting plate with good HF-connection between
screen of the motor cable and the filter.
 Use and correct connection of screened motor cables (on both sides !) or laying the motor cable
in a metallic, closed and interconnected cable-channel.
 Use of an AMF (Output motor filter) for higher motor cable lengths.
 Use and correct connection of screened control cabels.
 Grounding of the frequency inverter with 10 mm2 minimum for human protection.
 Seperation of motor cables against all other cables, especially control lines.

Special safety instructions
Short mains interruptions
In case of a mains breakdown the MX frequency inverters will continue working until the DC-link voltage has
fallen below the minimum working level (appr. 20 % below the lowest mains supply voltage). The time depends
on the value of the mains voltage before switch-off and also on the actual load. By controlling the MX via
retained contacts the motor will start accelerating immediately after the mains returns. This behaviour can be
blocked by adjusting the parameter „undervoltage (E3.04)". If the inverter is controlled via push buttons, the
keypad or via digital inputs, the stored start command will be cancelled after 2 seconds.
Display of the actual speed
Due to its high-accurate voltage measurement the MX frequency inverter displays the actual speed even of a
free wheel running motor. If this information should be used for protection devices, it has to be considered that
the signal cannot be correct in case of mains switch-offs or disconnection of the motor.
Automatic restart function
y after auto-reset:
The MX frequency inverter has a selectable automatic restart function. This function will automatically restart
the drive after trip switch-offs have occured. Check the concept of the plant for dangerous situations before
this function is activated.
y after mains undervoltages:
If a retained start command is queued an automatic restart is carried out each time the mains returns. If
control is realised via pushbuttons the run-condition changes into a ready-condition after 2 seconds. For
restarting a further start command is necessary. If the parameter E3.04 „undervoltage“ is set to
1 „trip during operation“ the trip message „undervoltage 1“ is triggered each time there is a mains voltage
loss longer than 2 seconds. The trip condition has to be reset by an auto-reset or manually.
Locking the frequency inverter
By use of the optional card IO1 the frequency inverter has a digital input (DI5_2) in closed-circuit connection.
Independent of the parametrisation this input results in a safety hardware lock of the drive.
Frequencies > 60 Hz
Check all components of the plant carefully, if the motor and the drive are operated above 60 Hz. However, the
manufacturer of motor and/or machine should be asked for possible disturbancies.
4- to 8-poled motors are generally designed to work up to 100 Hz.
Isolation measurements
All MX frequency inverters are proofed for withstand voltage and isolation resistance according to EN 50178
(testing voltage: 1,35 kV eff / 50 Hz @ 400 V or 1,50 kV eff / 50 Hz @ 500 V). Conducting megger tests, e.g.
as part of daily inspections, must only be executed between the main circuit and ground. For a fully correct
measurement the CE-filters must be disconnected or removed from the unit.

Never take isolation measurements at the control terminals !!

Parameter adjustment
If options are used which need a special parameterization or if the motor protection function is activated, all
necessary adjustments have to be carried out, also after a change of a device, software-update or an
activation of the factory default.

Remarks on mains power supply

Grounded / non-grounded mains


The use of the MX frequency inverters is basically allowed in all mains configurations. In case of non-grounded
mains (typical for 3 AC 500 V industrial mains) no CE filters must be used. Furthermore an earth fault detection
device for the inverter is recomended in case of earth faults on the motor cable or in the motor.
See chapter „Use of the MX in non-grounded mains".

Fuses
The MX frequency inverters contain no input fuses. They have to be planned externally (see table „mains fuses -
cable diameters") to protect the power cables against overload and to protect the input rectifier in case of an
internal short circuit.

Start / Stop commands


The MX can be switched on/off directly with the mains contactor. If frequent start/stop commands are required
it is advised to effect these via the digital inputs (or via a serial bus) directly at the electronic of the inverter. The
MX is designed for max. 60 mains switch-ON/OFF actions per hour.

Mains voltage at MX 400


These devices are conceived for any voltage from 380V -10 % to 415 V +10 %. The relevant mains frequency
can lie between 47,5 and 63 Hz. The undervoltage recognition depends on the actual state of load and lies at
406 V DC in the intermediate circuit, i.e. it responds in no-load operation at about - 20 % and under full load
at about - 15 % of the mains voltage.

Mains voltage at MX 500 “Wide voltage range inverter”


These devices are conceived for the following mains voltages:

3 AC 400 V ± 15 %, 50/60 Hz ± 5 %
3 AC 440 V ± 15 %, 60 Hz ± 5 %
3 AC 460 V ± 15 %, 60 Hz ± 5 %
3 AC 500 V + 10 %, - 15 %, 50 Hz ± 5 %

At the inverter the adjustment of the existing mains voltage is set by parameter B3.05 (a wrong adjustment
causes a trip report; in case of a heavy mains decrease also damage of the input rectifier might occur).

The adjusting parameter B3.05 and with it the use for 400 and 440 V is available starting with
software version PSR3.00.

With parameter B3.05 “Mains voltage” the voltage level and also the respective nominal currents of the device
are adjusted:

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 11


Mains impedance
Practically all frequency inverters are producing current harmonics on the mains side. Thereby caused voltage
distortions may influence other consumers on the line. With regards to the allowed mains harmonics the MX
frequency inverters are designed in accordance with IEC 1000-3-4. Therefore they must always be used with a
mains impedance ≥ 4 % uK (related to the inverter power). In most of the applications this is not guaranteed.
A line choke, as specified, must be used:
appr. 110 µH for MX size 3 (3 AC 400 V 90 to 160 kW) or appr. 170 µH at 3 AC 500 V
appr. 55 µH for MX size 4 (3 AC 400 V 160 to 315 kW) or appr. 85 µH at 3 AC 500 V
2 x appr. 55 µH for MX size 5 (12-pulse operation) or 2 x appr. 85 µH at 3 AC 500 V
Too high impedance will cause a loss in voltage, which can not be regulated by the inverter.

For size 5 (315 to 630 kW) and a standard 6-pulse rectification (3-poled supply), there are always 2 identical
line chokes necessary to ensure the current distribution to the parallel input rectifiers.
The sizes 1 and 2 (15 to 90 kW) have the line choke built-in as standard.

12-pulse supply
The MX frequency inverters size 5 (315 to 630 kW) are also suitable to work with a 12-pulse rectification.
Thereby the supply is done via a special transformer with 2 out of phase secondary windings (i.e. Yy6 d5).

1.) Line chokes are only necessary if one transformer is used for several inverters or if the transformer power
is clearly higher than the inverter power. (see mains impedance!)

Advantage of the 12-pulse supply: On the primary side of the transformer the 5th and 7th current harmonics
are practically not present, because they are cancelled by the out of phase windings.

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 12


Protective measurements / Earth leakage circuit breakers (FI)
Frequency inverters, especially with CE filters (RFI filters) and screened motor cables, lead an increased leakage
current against earth. The amount of leakage current depends on:
 the length of the motor cable
 the kind of laying and if the motor cable is screened or not
 the adjusted carrier frequency
 the use of RFI filters (used or not)
 the earthing of the motor on the site (earthed or not)
This can cause unintended triggering of the earth leakage circuit breaker at the moment of switch-on by the
capacitors especially of the filter and during operation due to the earth capacitance. On the other hand there is
the possibility to block the switch-off function through amounts of DC current. The following should be observed:
 Only short-time-invariant and pulse current-sensitive earth leakage breakers with higher triggering current
should be used.
 Other consumers should be secured with seperate earth leakage circuit breakers.
 Earth leakage breakers in front of an inverter are no absolute protection against direct touching !!
They always should be used in combination with other protection devices.
 The MX frequency inverters have no current limiting function (in case of fault currents).
Therefore they don´t violate the earthing.

Applications with middle cable lengths can have earth leakage currents of 500 mA and above - dependent on
the surrounding conditions !!

Explanation to the table:


1.) The values listed in the table are an index for laying the cable in air at max. 40°C,
based on the ÖVN EN 1 and VDE 0100 regulations.

For other ambient conditions and different regulations the cable diameters
have to be adapted in corresponding way.

2. Pre-fuses calculated for DOL starting with bypass-circuit.

3.) Voltage loss at max. continuous current each 100 m cable length (delta voltage). In case of motor
cables the voltage loss should be ≤ 10 V for single drives and ≤ 5 V for groups of drives.

4.) The motor cable is layed out to the maximum continuous current under consideration of an ambient
temperature of 40 degree and laying in air. In case of bypass use the motor cable must be layed out to
the value of the pre- or conduit fuses !
The use of NYCY or NYCWY cables for the motor line (energy cables with a concentric arranged
protection-core) is a low-priced alternative to screened cables.

5.) In case of a trip sf-fuses protect the inverter against secondary damage of the rectifier, the charging
circuit, etc.
The mains fuses represent a secondary protection of the inverter in case of failure of the electronic
protection. However, if these fuses are blown a primary defect already has occurred inside the unit.
Therefore, changing the damaged fuse(s) and switching on the inverter again is not effective. Furthermore,
it is not advantageous to use circuit breakers. This has the disadvantage of a slower switch-off.

6.) 2x 3poled fuses due to parallel supply

7.) For protection of the rectifier in case of a short circuit and especially for size 5 inverters for protection
against unequal overload the mains fuses must not exceed the following I2t - switch-off levels
(referred to 10ms):

A B C D E F
1,2.103 A2s 5,0.103 A2s 14.103 A2s 75.103 A2s 245.103 A2s 1000.103A2s

8.) See chapter “Remarks for the mains supply” for mains voltages < 500 V.
Country specific regulations and standards have to be observed absolutely.

Adjustment of parameters by using a braking unit

 Parameter C1.03 set to “2 - ext. braking unit” (from software version PSR 3.00 on; for MX 500/.. devices
with PSR 2.xx the software has to be changed to the actual version PBS 500.xx!)

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 17


Remarks to the inverter output
Option: AMF (output-motor-filter):

The MX frequency inverters are using IGBT power modules, by which it is possible to build compact units with
the advantage of a low current rippel. Therefore the inverters are operated at high switching frequency of
2,5 kHz (factory default !) up to 10 kHz.

Disadvantageous are the high-frequently earth leakage currents caused by the motor cable and its
capacitance against earth.
Furthermore the high slew rate (du/dt) causes couplings to parallel lines and voltage peaks on the motor
terminals.
The specific effects depend on various influences:
- A low switching frequency reduces the leakage current and the losses in the inverter, CE filter and AMF.
- A screened motor cable reduces the couplings to parallel lines and the disturbances but increases the
leakage current and the losses in the filter.
- A long motor cable increases the leakage current and the losses in the inverter, CE filter and AMF.
- The kind of laying the cable, e.g. under water, increases the leakage current and the losses in the inverter,
CE-filter and AMF, similar to a very long motor cable.
The use of an output motor filter (AMF) gives the possibility of higher motor cable lengths and protects the
motor against too high voltage demand by observing the following limits:

Slew rate (du/dt) < 500 V/µs (<750 V/µs at 3 AC 500 V)


Peak voltage (UPeak) < 1000 V (<1300 V at 3 AC 500 V)

The assign tables of MX 400 and 500 in front of this instruction show a great number of admitted and
recommended motor coble lengths. Those values result from 4 different effects:
1.) Inverter load
Long motor cables carry an increased earth leakage current which also has to be carried from the converter
additional. For devices with small power (< 15 kW) this can lead to a distinctive reduction in performance or
also damage the converter.

At small powers the obervance of the shown motor cable lengths is absolutely necessary to protect the
converter!

2.) AMF loss


The AMFs limit the rate of rise of applied voltage of the converter output pulses. The resulting losses load the
reactor.

Especially at small powers the observance of the shown motor cable lengths is necessary to protect
the AMF!

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 18


3.) EMC - interferences
The mains rectifier and the IGBT inverter cause high-frequency interferences which are more drained into the
earth potential if the motor cable is longer. As a result the line-conducted interferences on the line side
increase. The damping of the line filters is still not sufficient and the allowable interference limit is exceeded.

The observing of the shown motor cable lengths is necessary to keep the EMC-limits!

4.) Overvoltages at the motor


Overvoltages at the motor terminals are caused by reflection in the motor cable. For motor cable lengths
between 50 and 300 m the used motors must have an increased voltage sustaining capability (thereby the
motor load is nearly independent of the used converter!).

line voltage 400 V motor insulation for 1300 V peak voltage phase to phase
line voltage 400...500V motor insulation for 1600 V peak voltage phase to phase and
du/dt stability > 8 kV/ms

To work in this voltage range with standard motors, the use of a “du/dt filter” is necessary. The option AMF
(Output-Motor-Filter) influences with the cable capacity and limits the voltage peaks at the motor as well as the
rate of rise of applied voltage of the output pulses.

By observing the shown motor cable lengths remarkable extension of the motor life time is reached:

line voltage 400 V max. 1000 V peak voltage phase to phase and du/dt < 500 V/ms
line voltage 440...500 V max. 1300 V peak voltage phase to phase and du/dt < 750 V/ms

The observance of the shown motor cable lengths is absolutely necessary to protect the motor!

Compensation capacitors
Never connect compensation capacitors, line filters or overvoltage protection devices to the
inverters output !!!

Switching on the inverters’ output


A standard switching between inverter and motor is not allowed. It will cause an increased demand to the
rectifiers which is followed by a trip switch-off of the inverter !!! The livespan of the inverter is reduced !!!!

Exceptions: A leading auxiliary contact is locking the inverter via the digital input „Pulse release“
(e.g. DI5_2 of the optional PCB IO1 on plug X2) and unlocks the unit after the contact
has closed.

A revision switch which acts only in rare cases.


Also in that case the inverter should be locked before the switch is used.

Changing the direction of rotation


It is not allowed to use reversing contactor circuits to change the direction of rotation (see above).
This has to be done with the digital inputs on the control terminals.

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 19


Power reduction at 5 or rather 10 kHz clock frequency

In the area of 5 or rather 10 kHz the following current values for C- and P-application are possible:

MX 400 (500)

type / max. ambient temperature 5 kHz 10 kHz

500C630P at 40°C 0,82 x INC/INP 0,60 x INC/INP

A special advantage of the MX is the automatic backspacing (if released) and the current limitation at a
temperature too elevated.

Note: 1. Because of the increased earth currents the allowable motor cable lengths are reduced to appr. 60 %
at 5 kHz and to 30 % at 10 kHz.
2. At INC an overload of 50 % (related to the reduced value) for 1 minute per 10 minutes is possible.
For INP no overload is possible.

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 20


Continuous current at output frequencies < 1 (5) Hz
To protect the power semiconductors (IGBT) completely against thermal overload, the DC-current capability of
the MX is reduced at high temperature of the cooling attachment.

When planning drives with an operating frequency lower than 1 Hz or rather 5 Hz the following conditions
should be ovserved:

- dimensioning the drive without including the overload capability


- check of the drive reaction at current limiting through the inverter
- in the frequency range ± 1 Hz the available torque is < 90 % MN”C”

Index for dimension of hoist applications:

- static hoist power (torque) ≤ 80 % of the inverter “C”-power


- hoist- and acceleration power ≤ 100 % of the inverter “C”-power
- hoist power of check load ≤ 120 % of the inverter “C”-power
- operation in DC-current range (< 1 Hz) has to be supported by a holding brake

Note for torque-limited drives like tape tension control:

- For constructing a continuous pull- and retaining torque there are only 90 % of the nominal
current IN”C”, for the inverter in the speed range around 0 Hz, are available.

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 22


Application remarks
Multi-motor operation:
Basically it is possible to operate several motors on one frequency inverter MX. For pump and fan applications
the following restrictions have to be observed:
y The summary of the nominal motor currents has to be smaller than the inverter nominal current
y It is not possible to operate each motor with another speed
y All motor cable lenghts must be added
y A high starting torque cannot be reached
y The inverter is not able to support individual motor protection
y Auto-Tuning is not possible (and not necessary !!) and
y Single motors can be switched off but can only be switched on again if the initial current intensity is lower
than the maximum inverter current

For applications where the starting torque is much higher (i.e. chassis drives, hoisting units, conveyor belts,
a.s.o.) the only possibility is the connection in parallel of several mechanical coupled motors.
To be able to perform auto-tuning the motors should be as equal as possible and the motor cables should have
the same length.
If thermal relays or motor protection switches are used they have to be adjusted to appr. 110 % of the
motor nominal current !!

Motors must be
mechanically coupled
Same length of
motor cables
Inverter for the summary
of the motor nominal
currents

Motors of same type

Hoisting units - protective devices


As the control system, the integrated protective function „crane overload“ works with or without a speed
feedback. For an extensive protection of the hoisting load in case of inverter trips it is necessary to install an
external supervision circuit if required. This circuitry will be effective to the mechanical brake and therefore
supervise all errors in the electronic. However, in case of a shaft-break or the tear of the rope also this
protective function has no effect.

The MX frequency inverter is perfectly able to take over the full lifting load out of the brake, whereby the brake
is self-controlled via the output „lift brake“ after the magnetic field is built-up. Merely in the first half second
after pulse inhibit there is the danger that the load stalls. This is caused by the magnetisation of the motor due
to a wrong position of the wearing off field. To overcome this a further start command should be locked for
appr. 1 second (i.e. via an additional IO1-card and the integrated logic block).

See also chapter “Continuous current at output frequencies < 1 (5) Hz” for dimensioning the drive.

Wiring schematics
DC-coupling of several MX with one mains contactor
DC-coupling is recommended for applications where the full motoric power must be granted on the one hand
and generatoric operation due to the energy exchange via the DC-link should be possible on the other hand,
i.e. conveyor belt a.s.o.

NS... By use of one common line contactor all charging circuits of the single inverters will work in
parallel and therefore cannot be overloaded.
If switch gears are used in the single inverter supplys, to each MX the option „charging circuit“
LS5 must be connected !!
NH... Mains-sided unit-protection. For protecting the single rectifiers against overload the
recommendations in chapter „Mains fuses“ have to be carefully observed. By use of a fuse
supervision (having effect on the digital input „Ext.trip“ or on the mains contactor) consequential
damages to the charging circuit during mains switch-on can be avoided.
SI... Select the fuses in the DC-link according to chapter „DC-supply - connection of braking unit -
mains regeneration“.

As soon as these fuses are built-in the mains fuses must be built-in too !!
c, d, e,... Standard frequency inverter MX (for sizes 1 + 2 the option BS-connection and for size 4 and 5 the
option DC-connection is necessary).
Generally the number and size of the units is selectable, but only the units of two neighbouring
sizes can be combined. The line chokes are absolutely necessary (in sizes 1 + 2 they are built-in).
RS ... Regenerating unit for continuous or sporadic regeneration into the mains.
Alternatively a braking unit can be used, if the generatoric load peaks are short.
The power of the braking unit determines the max. allowed generatoric power.

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 28


Wiring schematics
MX-main drive with slave(s) on the DC-link (i.e. MX 3 with MX 2 + LS5)
This wiring scheme is recommended for applications where some drives are working regeneratively
(in the braking mode), while one or several other unit(s) are working as a motor.
i.e. winders, directional machines, test-benches, conveyor belts, hoisting units, a.s.o.

The motoric power must not exceed the allowed limit for the rectifier of the MX c at any time
(i.e. 45 kW + 20 % for 60 seconds in case of MX 400/37C45P).

DC-supplied units must not be switched


on or off during operation !!

c... Standard frequency inverter MX (for sizes 1 + 2 the option „BS-connection” is necessary).
This MX unit determines the maximum possible motoric power of the whole working group.
(Line chokes in sizes 1 + 2 are built-in).

LS5... Option „charging circuit“. This option is necessary to avoid that the charging circuit of the MX c will
not be overloaded. By use of the LS5 option frequency inverters with a total power of up to 500 kW
can be charged.

d ,e... DC-supplied inverters MX, SX or CX. The protection has to be carried out in accordance to chapter
„DC-supply....“ with superfast fuses. Switching gears in the DC circuit are of no use because the
switching duty may lead to a triggering of the fuses caused by high charging current.

BS/BW... Braking unit and braking resistor for short reduction of regenerative power. The use of a braking
unit is not absolutely necessary. If, for instance, all drives should be stopped at the same time,
the oncoming energy can be heated in the braking resistor (see „Braking units instructions“).

RS... Regenerating unit for continuous regeneration into the mains. As an alternative to the
braking unit a braking of the drives with continuous regeneration is possible. That means an increase
of the economic efficiency and no coming up of big amounts of heat. The regenerating unit
determines the maximum possible regenerative power of the whole working group.

Mounting remarks - MX general
Pay attention that the mains voltage is:

y MX 400/.. 3 AC 380 ... 400 V, ±10 %, 50/60 Hz ±5 %

y MX 500/.. 3 AC 460 ... 500 V, ±10 %, 50/60 Hz ±5 %

y MX 500/.. with softwareversion PSR 3.xx (set parameter B3.05 correctly !!!)
3 AC 400 V, ±15 %, 50/60 Hz ±5 %
3 AC 440 V, ±15 %, 60 Hz ±5 %
3 AC 460 V, ±15 %, 60 Hz ±5 % or
3 AC 500 V, ±10 ... 15 %, 50 Hz ±5 %

Ambient conditions like high temperatures, high humidity, dust, dirt and aggressive gases should be avoided.
The mounting place should be well ventilated and not exposed to direct sunlight. Be sure that the unit is
mounted on a perpendicular wall, which is not subjected to vibrations. Besides the wall should be made of
non-flammable material.

As many other electronic built-in devices the MX frequency inverter is designed in accordance with the soiling
gradient 2, EN 50178. If the enviroment does not correspond to those requirements the necessary
transition of the soiling gradient has to be carried out by i.e a cubicle built-in. Contrary to the standard units the
complete units (-SR) are corresponding to gradient 3 and can therefore be used even in some rougher
enviroments.

Checklist to ensure high availability of inverter drives

y Is the cooling air free of conductive dust ?


y Is the cooling air nearly dust-free and dry ?
y Is the condensing avoided or a switch-on in a condensed condition mode impossible ?
y Is the air temperature (immediately below the inverter) within the allowed range ?
y Is it guaranteed that no air-short can occur (the inverter sucks in the blown out air) ?
y Do the air in- and outlets have the correct minimum diameters ?
y Is the necessary amount of air blown in, if filter-mats are used ?
y Are the air in- and outlets free and is the air flow not impeded ?

Distances to other units or against the wall “built-in units”
Due to cooling purposes the MX frequency inverters are designed for vertical wall mounting.
Keep the listed minimum distances to other units - especially if the inverter is mounted into a niche.

1.) ATTENTION: Pay attention to guarantee a free airflow and avoid


an air short cut, if the inverter is mounted into a niche.
→ see capitel “Typical cubicle build-in”

2.) The distances on the left and on the right side of the inverter are only
necessary because of mounting and servicing. If removing the unit for
those purposes is possible, the distances are not necessary.

During wiring or other work on the equipment, do not allow any wire scraps, welding fragments, iron scraps,
dust, etc. to enter into the inverter. Therefore be sure to cover the top of the unit before working.
Pay attention that the allowed temperature range (0°C to +45°C or to 40°C) is not fallen short off or exceeded.
In case of exceeding the cooling air temperature, the frequency inverter will automatically reduce the switching
frequency and if this is not sufficient it will also reduce the current limitation. A high ambient temperature may
cause a shorter lifetime of the frequency inverter. Avoid to install heat generating units near the inverter.

Distances to other units or against the wall - SR “complete units”


The frequency inverters MX-SR are designed for vertical wall mounting.
If the inlet filters are reconstructed properly a side-position to the left is also possible (air outlet on the bottom
side).

Keep the listed minimum distances to other units - especially if the inverter is mounted in a niche.

Air intake on the


front side (and below
at size 2)
Air outlet on the
left side

During wiring or other work on the equipment, do not allow any wire scraps, welding fragments, iron scraps,
dust, etc. to enter into the inverter. Therefore be sure to cover the top of the unit before working.
Pay attention that the allowed temperature range (0°C to +40°C or to 35°C) is not fallen short off or exceeded.
In case of exceeding the cooling air temperature, the frequency inverter will automatically reduce the switching
frequency and if this is not sufficient it will also reduce the current limitation.

The MX-SR complete units correspond to IP54 only if the front door is closed.
Carefully observe that the sealings do not become ineffective due to deposition of dust and dirt.
The filter-mats must be cleaned regularly.

Mounting- and connecting remarks for MX size 5
The frequency inverters size 5 consist of 2 components, which have to be electrically connected after mounting
(allowed distance 100 - 220 mm).

1.) DC-power connection

Clean the contact surface (i.e. with Scotch Brite).


Don´t wedge the insulation foil between the minus-
bar and the spacers.
Tightening torque: 40 Nm

2.) Voltage measuring line of phase U:


1-poled measuring line which has to be plugged via the plug-connectors on both parts of the inverter.

3.) Multipoled control cable W30:


Connects the plug X30 on the PCB PB5 (left part) with the plug X30 on the PCB ZB4(5) (right part).

Option: motor bar MX 5 phase U


To give the possibility of connecting all 3 phases on the right inverter part the option „Motor bar MX 5 phase U“
has to be ordered.

Mounting:
Screw down the four mounting screws c of the phases V and W (mother + bolt),
Screw up four insulated supports d with screwed in thread bolt.
Put the bar (phase U) e above and fix it with the enclosed hexagonal nuts f.

Remarks MX size 4 and 5
IP44 - IP54 extended protection degree
The frequency inverters MX size 4 and 5 are designed for separated air duction. But it is absolutely necessary to
compensate each additional loss of pressure.
If those inverters should be used in areas where IP44 or IP54 is required, we recommend the use of the
developed and proofed inverter series “MX cubicle design”.

Option: DC-Connection:
At MX sizes 4 and 5 the connection of braking unit, mains regeneration or DC-supply is possible lateral (left
and/or right). To connect cables or flex-bars the option “DC-Connection” is necessary (see DC-connection at
size 5). By detaching the lateral covering plates the connections are accessible.
The option consists of 4 long and 4 short connection bolts. So DC-connection can be mounted on both sides
of the inverter.

Version with bars Version with round conductor

Distance of roll to screw head min. 8 mm max. 12 mm

Clean the conduct surface (i.e. with Scotch


Brite). Don´t wedge the insulation foil between
the minus-bar and the spacers.

Accessories: line chokes NDR
Use: For reduction of current harmonics caused by the DC link.

Remark: The voltage loss on the choke cannot be compensated by the inverter in case of full load
operation. This especially affects the biggest unit in each size.
That means, that the output voltage can be up to 3 % lower than the connected line voltage
in front of the choke.

Mounting: The line chokes can be mounted in any position.


Only a well done ventilation has to be observed.

Due to the magnetic stray field of the AMF filter


the recommended minimum distances above
and on the sides must be observed, that means
no mounting plates, steel bars, control lines, The direct fixing on a mounting plate made of
electronic components, a.s.o. steel is possible (low magn. leakage field).

Integration of the thermoclixon of the motor line choke (only AMF 450/48 to 300)
In case of a switch-off caused by an overheat of the choke, it is possible to integrate a thermoclixon in the
external fault-cicuit of the inverter (e.g. digital input DI3 (terminal 13) is programmed to “external trip”).

Set parameter D2.02 “DI3-usage” to 16 =


“EXT-trip” and
parameter E3.02 “EXT-trip” to 4 = “N.C. ready”.

If the clixon will open during running this will


cause a trip switch-off of the inverter with the
message “EXT.trip”.

Option: External charging circuit LS5
To avoid an overload situation and a failure of the internal charging circuit in case of DC-coupled inverters,
the external charging device LS5 has to be used according to the following wiring scheme.

The LS5 device is useable for all MX sizes and operating voltages and is able to charge inverters with a total
power of 500 kW. The mains-sided connection can be connected in front or after the line choke.

Option: earth fault protection 1 and 2
For protection of the inverter in case of insulation faults on the output side a fault current detection is necessary.
This is described in chapter „Use of the MX in non-grounded mains (IT-mains)“. One of the integrated compara-
tor blocks is used by the option to evaluate the measured differential current. In the following wiring example the
measured leakage current is fed to the software-comparator via the analogue input on the IO1 on extension
plug X3. Via a relay output the result is fed to a digital input parametrised as „Ext.trip“.

Option: fan-control (MX size 1 only)


Additional to the function „mains contactor control“ which causes a selective switch-on of the inverters power
part, the option „fan control“ can be used to further reduce the operating time of the fan. The option should be
built-in by the factory due to bad accessibility in the completed unit. The fan control is realized via the
temperature supervision by the software-comparator block and a relay output (with the same group of relays
230 V control circuits must not be operated !!). To guarantee a longer lifespan of the control electronic, the
switch-on level should not be adjusted above 50°C.

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 52


Option: BE-3A (external operating panel)
This option is used to aloof the control PCB of the MX together with the optional cards, the LCD display and the
membrane keypad from the inverter. The panel is swivel designed to guarantee the access to the control
terminals in case of opened cubicle door.

The built-in of the BE-3A is done into an metal plate (appr. 2 mm; Bohrplan/Drilling plan
i.e. the cubicle door) in accordance to besides drilling plan (6 holes
á ∅6 mm and one cutting 150 x 180 mm).
The inner swivel part outclasses the front cover downwards
by 20 mm. The cable outlets are also intended to be
downwards.
To mount the BE-3A plug-in the front cover with its threated bolts and
screw it on from the back of the swivel frame.
For a skilled potential connection, 3 studded discs have to be
inserted between the cubicle door and the hinge angle

For the electrical connection the control PCB (UI), eventually


existing optional cards (IO1 or PBO1) and the membrane
keypad from the inverter have to be detached and placed
into the BE-3A.

The connection is done with the enclosed 3 m control cable.

The remaining hole in the inverter front cover can be sealed


with the enclosed foil.

Delivered from the factory the BE-3A is prepared for


a cubicle door which is affixed right-handed. The
rebuild for cubicles with left-handed affix is possible.

Power connections
Electronic installation work must only be undertaken by properly qualified staff. The use of switching
gears in front of the inverter must be done in full compliance with the pertinent regulations.

For connecting power and control cables the front cover has to be removed. Be sure that no mains
potential is connected to the motor terminals U, V, W, because this may damage the frequency inverter.

General connecting remarks:

1.) Power lines with single wires should be layed as close as


possible to the corresponding PE-line.

2.) Control cables, power supply and motor lines should be seperated from another.

3.) Never lay control-, mains- and motor cables in the same cable channel !!

If crossings of
control- and
power cables Control cables should
cannot be avoi- be layed in a minimum
ded, they should distance of 30 cm to the
be done in a motor cables.
right angle.

At small distances (e.g.


inside a cubicle) smaller
spaces are allowable.

4.) Only use screened control cables (exception:


exception: relay contacts and eventually digital inputs, if they are
general seperated from power lines). Earth the screen always on both sides (exception:
exception: in case of
problems with earth-loops caused by offset-currents in the screen, only earth on the signal input-side or
use a parallel offset-line).

5.) Realize EMC-earthing of the CE-filter, the mounting plate and the cubicle.
Because measuring the mains failures, as well as the real influence of other loads, is related to earth
potential, the inductivity of “earthing” is extremely decisive. That means: Big surface earth connections
which can be quite parallel to the yellow/green protection earthing PE is very important.

6. Free wires in the motor cable (e.g. a blue N-core) have to be clamped on the PE-motor at the inverter side
as a minimum. Otherwise they could lead to dangerous voltage.

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 57


7. The screen of the motor cable has the job to prevent the flow off of the disturbing current. It leads them
back to the line filter of the inverter. Its second job is the reduction of the stray radiation and the reduction
of coupling to neighbouring lines. Therefore screened 4pole motor cables should be used and the screen
should be connected on both sides in accordance with the valid HF-rules. The type of the screen material
(copper / steel) is less important than a well done connection on both sides. Alternatively a metallic, closed
and generally connected cable-channel can be used.

A favourable possibility (for use in industry) for big cable diameters is the use of energy cables with a
concentricaly arranged protection-core (e.g. NYCY- or NYCWY-cables). The protection-core has the
protective function of the PE-core and a screen-function.

Connection model of NYCY-motor cables:

Because of the double function of the PE-core it is necessary to executet the cable connection on the
inverter- and motor side correctly:

function of the protection core:


bundled connection of the PE-core for save and corrosion-resistant connection (e.g. with cable lug)

function of the screen:


big surface clamping of the PE-core for small HF-resistance with good initiation of the disturbing currents
into the CE-filter (e.g. with clamp fitting)

Specification of the control terminals

1.) Electronic 0 V may float up to 35 V against earth. The necessary connection 0 V - earth for limitation
of the voltage can therefore be done in some distance, i.e. in the PLC. Eventually by the analogue
output which is related to 0 V.

2.) All inputs and outputs are completely decoupled against each other (if the analogue input from the IO1
and the external 24 V for digital inputs are used).

3.) The whole electronic is galvanically separated from the power part according to EN 50178 PELV
(Protective-Extra-Low-Voltage) corresponding to "safety isolation" by double isolation.

The two relays on the optional card IO1 must be interrogated with the same voltage level.
They are not separated in accordance with PELV !!

Use of the MX frequency inverter in non-grounded mains (IT-mains):

1.) General
The reason why non-grounded (IT-)mains are used is the increase of the availability. In case of an
one-phase earth fault an immediate switch-off is not absolutely necessary. For the human protection such
mains are fitted with an insulation supervision relay. By measuring the resistance an earth fault will be
detected and can be indicated.

Z... earth impedance


IS... insulation supervision
relay
A,B...consumer on the mains
MX... frequency inverter MX
M... motor

2.) An insulation fault occurs in the mains


The MX frequency inverter is designed not to be influenced in its operation by such a fault condition.

The height of the fault current


depends on the value of the
earth impedance Z.
If this value is high, fault cur-
rent and fault voltage will be
low.
An automatical switch-
off is not necessary.
The fault must be indicated,
detected on site and repaired.

A second insulation fault will cause an overcurrent and the installed fuses will be triggered (switch-off). Some
parts of the plant are now out of order.
3.) An insulation fault occurs on the inverters output
In case of an earth fault on the output of an inverter (motor cable or motor) the whole mains will be
loaded by very high du/dt values. This is caused by the pulsed output voltage (i.e. MX: 2,5 - 10 kHz). Due
to the potential displacement of the DC-link all existing earth capacitances will be re-charged with the pulse
frequency. Dependent on the mains situation and the connected consumers this may cause partial high
earth leakage currents. The inverter (choke, rectifier, capacitors, IGBTs,.....) and all other consumers will be
considerably loaded. A switch-off of the inverter via an additional earth leakage protection is necessary !

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 68


CP... parasitical capacitances
between the lines and
earth in the mains as
well as in the motor
cable

Not all types of insulation supervision relays are suitable to recognize earth faults in or on the output of an
inverter. This is caused due to very different measurement methods. Typical is the injection of a continuous
or an alternating current.

Other systems are working with an open transducer circuitry. This has the advantage of free linkable mains.
Due to this measurement method those devices are not able to measure through a rectifier bridge.

4.) Protection of inverter and drive - option „earth fault protection“


Dependent on the circumstances the corresponding protection method must be selected:

Separate transformer for the drive Ö The operation with an insulation fault on the inverter output
(i.e. 12-pulse supply) is allowed for max. 1 hour
(line chokes and AMF filters may become hot)

Low mains expansion Ö „Earth fault protection“ necessary,


(means: low parasitical the switch-off should be done within 10 minutes
capacitances)

Wide mains expansion, Ö „Earth fault protection“ necessary,


eventually with other the switch-off must be done within 2 minutes
inverter drives

As an additional protection an external earth leakage protection relay can be used.


It will work in the IT-mains caused by the existing earth capacistances
(i.e. company: Bender, type: RCM 470LY with external transducer and adjustable trigger time and value).

Ö See description of the option „earth fault protection“ in this manual !!


4.) Use of RFI-filters
Because of the human protection the use of RFI-filters in IT-mains is not allowed.
(increase of earth capacistances,...). Due to this reason there are no limits for the interference voltage
defined inside the powerdrive standard for IT-mains.

The use of CE-filters in non-grounded (IT-)mains is not allowed !!!

MX - Projecting instructions - 8 074 706.05/11 - page 69


EMC product standard for PDS (Power-Drive-Systems) EN 61800-3:
In June 1996 the product standard EN 61800-3 for frequency inverter based drives was released. It has priority
over the existing general standards (generic standards). If a drive is built-in into another unit for which exists
an own EMC-standard then this standard has to be considered.
Objective of the EMC-standard 89/336/EEC is the ability of electrical and electronical installations to be well
functional in their electromagnetic enviroment, without any influence to itself or any other installation therein.
Due to this objective the PDS product standard consists of limitation values for allowed interferences as well as
of requirements for the necessary supression measurements.

The Power-Drive-Standard EN 61800-3 covers the complete drive, from the mains supply to the motor shaft.

BDM: Base-Drive-Module Basic drive unit consisting of the power part and the control electronic.
i.e. frequency inverter - build-in unit

CDM: Complete-Drive-Module Drive module consisting of:


BDM (basic unit) and possible extensions
i.e. cubicle including RFI-Filter, AMF, line contactor, ...)

PDS: Power-Drive-System Drive system consisting of CDM (drive module), the motor, motor cable
on site controlling, mains transformer, .....
i.e. the complete electrical drive of a machine

The main distinction for the use of frequency inverters results in different views of the sales method and the field
of operation:
1.) Use in domestic premises where sales is generally done (unrestricted to every person)
For drives < 25 A the allowed interference limits are likely the same as to the so far used standard
EN 55011 class B, that means: 66-56/56/60 dB(µV) quasi-peak and 30/37 dB(µV/m) at 10 m distance.
For drives ≥ 25 A the limits are related to the so far used class A, that means:
79/73/73 dB(µV) quasi-peak and 30/37 dB(µV/m) at 30 m distance.
2.) Use in domestic premises where the sales is restricted to qualified and trained EMC resellers
All drives must keep the interference limit of the so far used class A, that means:
79/73/73 dB(µV) quasi-peak and 30/37 dB(µV/m) at 30 m distance
3.) Use in industrial premises with sufficient noise supression

Domestic premises: The standard calls those establishments „first enviroment“.


They are directly connected without intermediate transformer to a low-voltage
power network which supplies buildings used for domestic puposes.
The valid interference limits are very low and can only be observed by keeping
all installation requirements.
Industrial premises: The standard calls those establishments „second enviroment“.
That are all establishments other than those directly connected with a low-voltage
power network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Specified are not the direct emission values but the allowed repercussions
via the supplying network.
If the related neighbouring network is an public network with domestic areas then
the limits 66-56/56/60 dB(µV) quasi-peak have to be kept.
In industrial networks the higher limits 79/73/73 dB(µV) quasi-peak can be used.
Furthermore there is the commitment for touch-up regarding the interferences, where
the owner of the plant is responsible for this touch-up.
Much sharper are, however, the limits regarding the immunity.
A general higher interference level has to be assumed.

For non-grounded mains or mains >500 V no limits are layed down. In case of IT-mains the point of earth
contact is missing. However, filter capacitors will complicate the detection of insulation faults and will therefore
interfere the concept of the earth-free energy supply. This will cause a safety risk.
