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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

8.) See chapter “Remarks for the mains supply” for mains voltages < 500 V.
Country specific regulations and standards have to be observed absolutely.
The inverter size 3 has plus/minus-terminals for DC-connection, DC-link coupling, mains regeneration or
connection of a braking unit as standard.
At sizes 4 and 5 the option “DC-Connection BG 4+5” is necessary.

2.) The listed values are an index, based on the ÖVN EN 1 and VDE 0100 regulations.
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!)
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:
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!
Especially at small powers the observance of the shown motor cable lengths is necessary to protect
the AMF!
The observing of the shown motor cable lengths is necessary to keep the EMC-limits!
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 !!!
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.
In the area of 5 or rather 10 kHz the following current values for C- and P-application are possible:
MX 400 (500)
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.
When planning drives with an operating frequency lower than 1 Hz or rather 5 Hz the following conditions
should be ovserved:
- 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.
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

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.
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.
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).
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.

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.

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

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.
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.
The filters CE-0 400/300 and 570 are two-parted, the filter CE-0 400/1100 consists of three
parts. They are located in front of the line choke and near to the inverter
(see wiring schematics for sizes 3 to 5) !!
The CE filters must be only used for grounded mains ! See „Use of MX in non-grounded mains“ !

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”).
The LS5 device is useable for all MX sizes and operating voltages and is able to charge inverters with a total

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

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.
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 !
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.
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)
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
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
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.
