Security Information
1.1 Security information

Safety notes 2
2.1 General Safety Information
Proper Use
SINAMICS Perfect Harmony™ GH180 medium voltage drives must always be installed in
closed electrical operating areas. The drive is connected to the industrial network via a circuit-
breaker or contactor that is electrically connected to the VFD control to enable the drive
protection features.
The specific transport conditions must be observed when the equipment is transported. The
equipment shall be assembled/installed and the separate cabinet units connected properly by
cable and/or busbar in accordance with the assembly/installation instructions. The relevant
instructions regarding correct storage, EMC-compliant installation, cabling, shielding and
grounding and an adequate auxiliary power supply must be strictly observed. Fault-free
operation is also dependent on careful operation and maintenance.
The power sections are designed for variable-speed drives use with synchronous and
asynchronous motors. Operating modes, overload conditions, load cycles, and ambient
conditions different to those described in this document are allowed only by special
arrangement with the manufacturer.
Commissioning should only be carried out by trained service personnel in accordance with the
commissioning instructions.
System components such as circuit-breaker, transformer, cables, cooling unit, motor, speed
sensors, etc., must be matched to VFD operation. System configuration may only be carried out
by an experienced system integrator.

Safety notes
2.2 Observing the Five Safety Rules
2.2 Observing the Five Safety Rules

There are five safety rules that must always be observed to assure not only personal safety, but
to prevent material damage as well. Always obey safety-related labels located on the product
itself and always read and understand each safety precaution prior to operating or working on
the drive.
The five safety rules:
1. Disconnect the power applied to the system.
2. Protect against reapplication of power.
3. Make sure that the equipment is de-energized.
4. Apply grounding (earthing) means.
5. Cover or enclose adjacent components to secure all forms of hazardous energy.
DANGER
Danger Due to High Voltages
High voltages cause death or serious injury if the safety instructions are not observed or if the
equipment is handled incorrectly.
Potentially fatal voltages occur when this equipment is in operation which can remain present
even after the VFD is switched off.
Ensure that only qualified and trained personnel carry out work on the equipment.
Follow the five safety rules during each stage of the work.

Safety notes
2.3 Safety Information and Warnings
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage!
● Always follow the proper lock-out/tag-out procedures before beginning any maintenance
or troubleshooting work on the VFD.
● Always follow standard safety precautions and local codes during installation of external
wiring. The installation must follow wiring practices and insulation systems as specified in
IEC 61800-5-1.
● Hazardous voltages may still exist within the VFD cabinets even when the disconnect
switch is open (off) and the supply power is shut off.
● Only qualified individuals should install, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain this VFD. A
qualified individual is "a person, who is familiar with the construction and operation of the
equipment and the hazards involved."
● Always work with one hand, wear electrical safety gloves, wear insulated electrical hazard
rated safety shoes, and safety goggles. Also, always work with another person present.
● Always use extreme caution when handling or measuring components that are inside the
enclosure. Be careful to prevent meter leads from shorting together or from touching other
terminals.
● Use only instrumentation (e.g., meters, oscilloscopes, etc.) intended for high voltage
measurements (that is, isolation is provided inside the instrument, not provided by isolating
the chassis ground of the instrument).
● Never assume that switching off the input disconnector will remove all voltage from internal
components. Voltage is still present on the terminals of the input disconnector. Also, there
may be voltages present that are applied from other external sources.
● Never touch anything within the VFD cabinets until verifying that it is neither thermally hot
nor electrically alive.
● Never remove safety shields (marked with a HIGH VOLTAGE sign) or attempt to measure
points beneath the shields.
● Never operate the VFD with cabinet doors open. The only exception is the control cabinet.
● Never connect any grounded (i.e., non-isolated) meters or oscilloscopes to the system.
● Never connect or disconnect any meters, wiring, or printed circuit boards while the VFD is
energized.
● Never defeat the instrument’s grounding.
● When a system is configured with VFD bypass switchgear (e.g. contactors between line
and motor, and VFD and motor), these switches should be interlocked so that the line
voltage is never applied to the VFD output if the medium voltage input is removed from the
VFD.
● When a system is configured with VFD pre-charge, medium voltage is present on the
primary side of the input transformer and upstream device even though the MV contactor
is not closed.

Safety notes
WARNING
Potential Arc Hazard
● Arcing can result in damage to property, serious injury and even death.
● The equipment has not been tested and rated for arc flash protection.
● Avoiding arc hazard risks is dependent upon proper installation and maintenance.
● Incorrectly applied equipment, incorrectly selected, connected or unconnected cables, or
the presence of foreign materials can cause arcing in the equipment.
● Follow all applicable precautionary rules and guidelines as used in working with medium
voltage equipment.
● The equipment may be used only:
– for the applications defined as suitable in the technical description.
– in combination with equipment and components supplied by other manufacturers which
have been approved and recommended by Siemens.
● Always follow the facility / installation site rules / guidelines for Personal Protectiive
Equipment (PPE) based on the Arc Flash study of that facility.
Additional safety precautions and warnings appear throughout this manual. These important
messages should be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
Obey Rules to Avoid Risk of Death
● Always comply with local codes and requirements if disposal of failed components is
necessary.
● Always ensure the use of an even and flat truck bed to transport the VFD system. Before
unloading, be sure that the concrete pad is level for storage and permanent positioning.
● Always confirm proper tonnage ratings of cranes, cables, and hooks when lifting the VFD
system. Dropping the cabinet or lowering it too quickly could damage the unit.
● Never disconnect control power while medium voltage is energized. This could cause
severe system overheating and/or damage.
● Never store flammable material in, on, or near the drive enclosure. This includes
equipment drawings and manuals.
● Never use fork trucks to lift cabinets that are not equipped with lifting tubes. Be sure that
the fork truck tines fit the lifting tubes properly and are the appropriate length.

Introduction 3
3.1 Background
Unlike other motor protection management relays, the SINAMICS Advanced Motor Protection
(AMP) is fully integrated into the drive itself, requiring no installation or mounting. Protection
variables and RTD data used by the AMP are tested to ensure that the AMP is functioning
properly and is ready for parameter setting before leaving the factory. To assure motor and
process protection, it is necessary to define protection settings in such a way as to prevent
motor and process damage, which can occur in various manners and conditions.
Today industrial equipment is designed to be operated for 20 years or longer. Medium voltage
motors are exposed to environmental and mechanical stresses that, over time, could lead to
motor degradation and malfunction. The monitoring and protection of such medium voltage
motors is an essential element in the overall industrial process protection. These protection
schemes are needed to avoid financial losses caused by unexpected process downtown.
Medium voltage motors are operated either directly on line (DOL) or through variable frequency
drives (VFDs). Thus, they require protection from the following conditions:
● input line events
● high temperatures, insulation and bearing failures
● conditions created by a change in a load
– overload
– underload
– imbalance
– jamming
The advanced motor protection algorithms described in this manual can be used to protect
systems from such events. In addition, some features can also be configured to detect and
protect against undesirable process conditions.
The following chapters provide an overview of the function itself, followed by the function as
implemented in the GH180 drive.

● Device 81 - Fixed pickup overfrequency
● Device 81 - Variable pickup overfrequency
● Device 81 - Fixed pickup underfrequency
● Device 81 - Fixed pickup high frequency rate of change
The standard block compares a protection variable to a reference which is referred to in the
block diagram as the pickup level. To illustrate, for the fixed underspeed protection, the
reference would be motor speed, and the pickup level would be the Fixed Underspeed Pickup
Level (7218).
The comparator can be configured to make the block an "over" function (a trip or alarm can be
generated when the protection variable is higher than the pickup level) or an "under" function
(a trip or alarm can be generated when the protection variable is lower than the pickup level).
Adjustable low pass filtering is accomplished on both the protection variable and the pickup
level prior to the variables being applied to the greater than or less than comparator function.
A true state (logic one) at the output of the comparator indicates that a pickup is occurring and
that a trip or alarm may result. The pickup condition modifies the threshold of the comparator
with a programmable amount of hysteresis to avoid excessive toggling due to noise in the
reference or protection variable. The amount of hysteresis is determined as a percentage of the
pickup level by the adjustable parameter referred to as the dropout level.
The block uses two counters to control the generation of an alarm or trip output. The output can
be used as a trip signal or as an alarm signal where the alarm can be set to a latched mode or
an unlatched mode. The two counters are the pickup time delay counter and the dropout time
delay counter. The pickup time delay counter is used to delay the time between a pickup and
the generation of a trip or alarm signal. The pickup time delay is a programmable parameter that
can be adjusted over a range that depends on the particular protection variable being used.The

dropout time delay counter is used to delay the reset of the pickup timer if the protection variable
changes such as to cause the pickup signal to return to a false (logic zero) condition.
In the simplest case of operation, the protection variable exceeds the pickup level and remains
there. The pickup time delay counter would start counting until the value of the counter exceeds
the "pickup time delay" and a trip or alarm would be generated. The dropout time delay counter
has no involvement in this simplest type of operation. This case is shown in the top line of figure
Various Pickup and Dropout Time Delay Counter Various Examples of Operation for the cases
of latched and unlatched operation.
Figure 4-2 Various Pickup and Dropout Time Delay Counter Examples of Operation
The dropout time delay counter is used to reset the pickup time delay counter when the pickup
condition disappears. The second line of Various Pickup and Dropout Time Delay Counter
Examples of Operation shows the case where the pickup signal goes to zero for a time greater
than the value of the dropout time delay. The dropout time delay is a programmable parameter
that is shown in figure Generalized Protection Function Block Diagram. The dropout time delay
counter counts up once the pickup signal becomes false and resets the pickup time delay
counter.

The bottom two rows of the second figure shown show more complex behaviors involving
shorter time variations of the pickup signal.
Boolean Logic equations for the counters are
Pickup Counter
● Count = /Pickup timed out * enabled * pickup
● Reset = Reset (ext) + Dropout timed out
Dropout Counter
● Count = /(/Pickup * /Pickup timer) * (/Pickup timed out + /Latch
control * Pickup timed out)
● Reset = /(Dropout timed out + /Dropout) * (Pickup timed out * Latch
control) + Reset (ext)
where:
/ indicates a logical inversion (not)
+ indicates a logical OR
* indicates a logical AND
Fixed Pickup Protections

Fixed pickup protection functions allow a single pickup level to be programmed that remains a
constant over the entire operating speed range of the drive.
Example: For fixed pickup overspeed protection, when the speed of the machine exceeds the
programmed pickup level then the logic of the standard block diagram starts the pickup timer.
If the pickup condition persists for longer than the programmed time then a trip or alarm will
occur.
The pickup level is independent of the speed setting (speed demand) of the drive.
Demand Dependency for Variable Pickup Protections

Variable pickup protection functions allow a pickup level to be programmed as a function of the
commanded speed of the drive (speed demand). The pickup levels are entered as a set of 20
points starting from 0% demand to 190% demand setting. Linear interpolation is used between
the points.
Example: If a 10% overspeed pickup is set at 0% demand and a 20% overspeed pickup is set
at 10% demand, the effective pickup level at 5% demand will be 15%. The pickup level will
remain constant at the 190% demand setting for demand settings in excess of 190%. If the
190% demand setting pickup level is set to 210%, the pickup level at 200% demand will also be
210%. See Figure Variable Pickup Undercurrent.
To further illustrate, assume that the variable pickup undercurrent function is being used; and
the pickup levels are set to the values shown in column 2 of Table "Pickup Level Settings for
Level Settings for Variable Undercurrent Protection Example".

Thermal Overload
The thermal overload protection functions use a thermodynamic model of the machine to
predict the total amount of thermal capacity (basically margin to maximum temperature) that
has been used as the machine temperature increases. A value of 100% thermal capacity used
would imply that the machine is at the maximum allowable temperature. The thermal model
uses a k-factor to adjust the value of current at which the machine will eventually reach full rated

temperature at maximum rated ambient temperature. There are also heating, cooling, and
stopped thermal time constants that dynamically adjust the model to match how quickly the
machine will heat up and cool down either when moving or when stopped.
A fixed thermal overload protection function and a variable thermal overload function are
provided. The fixed thermal overload function allows the use of a fixed value (does not vary with
the drive speed demand setting) of k-factor and the time constants. The variable thermal
overload function allows the k-factor, the heating time constant, and the cooling time constant
to be made a function of the speed demand setting. The parameters are programmed over a
range of speed demand setting from 0 to 190% in the same way as the pickup parameters are
set for the variable pickup level protection functions. The k-factor would be adjusted as a
function of speed to account for changes in the machine losses as the electrical frequency
changes. The time constants would be adjusted to account for changes in the heat transfer
characteristics of the machine as the speed changes.

Per-unit Values
All the AMP functions use per-unit values to set pickup and dropout levels as well as speed-
based enables. In a per-unit system, engineering quantities (such as voltages or currents) are
normalized to their rated or maximum values. The value of the resultant per-unit values is
typically zero to one although the values can be and are often expressed in percentages. The
AMP system uses percentage values to set per-unit quantities. Voltage, current, frequency,

4.2 Introduction
power, torque, and speed are per-unit quantities in the AMP. Time, temperature, and power
factor are not handled as per-unit quantities and are expressed in units of seconds and degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit, power factor does not have any associated units. For example,
consider a 1 MW machine with a rated voltage of 4160 V, and a full load current of 162A with
a rated speed of 1785 RPM that is designed to operate with 60 Hz power. This is a four-pole
machine, so the synchronous speed of the machine is 1800 RPM. The relationship between the
engineering units and per-unit quantities are shown in the table titled, "Per-unit Engineering
Unit Quantities".

4.3 Protection Function Enable Types
4.3 Protection Function Enable Types

There are four types of enables used to control startup and disabling of the protection functions.
They are: Startup Time, Minimum Speed Enable, Minimum Speed Reset, and Fixed Torque
Pulsation Minimum Speed Enable.
The following paragraphs describe the operation of the various enables.
1. Startup Time is used to delay the startup of the protection function from the time that the run
command is issued. Following startup, the protection function will remain disabled until the
startup time has elapsed. Once the Startup Time has been met, the protection function will
be enabled unless another startup function continues to disable the protection function. The
startup time delay will be repeated if the drive is stopped and then started again.
2. Minimum Speed Enable is used to delay the startup of the protection function until the
machine achieves a minimum speed. Once the speed of the machine exceeds the Minimum
Speed Enable setting, the function is enabled and will remain enabled until the drive is
stopped (stop command, trip, etc.) unless another startup function continues to disable the
protection function (such as Startup Time). The function will remain enabled even if the
speed is reduced below the Minimum Speed Enable setting once that setting has been
exceeded for the first time. The Minimum Speed Enable is reset when the drive is stopped,
and the minimum speed will have to be reached again if the drive is stopped and then started
again.
3. Minimum Speed Reset is used to disable a protection function when the speed demand is
less than a specified value. When the demand setting is below the Minimum Speed Reset
setting, the protection function is reset. Any startup time delay or minimum speed enable will
be reset and the conditions of those enables will have to be met before the protection
function will be enabled again.
4. Fixed Torque Pulsation Minimum Speed Enable is a unique enable applicable only to the
excessive torque pulsation protection function. The setting resets the protection when the
motor speed is below the setting. This setting should be used to avoid trips due to conditions
where low motor speed is likely to result in false trips due to the finite sampling window of
the torque pulsation function.

6.2 Device 12 - Fixed Pickup Overspeed

Overview
Fixed pickup overspeed is used to protect the motor and connected load against excessive
speed. The fixed pickup overspeed function provides a single speed point setting that produces
a trip or alarm condition when that speed is exceeded. The function can be enabled once a
programmable time period has elapsed since the starting of the motor. The per-unit speed
protection variable may be derived from a flux based Phase Locked Loop (PLL) or encoder.
Note
Encoder Loss
Depending upon the value of parameter 1320 (encoder loss response), when a loss of the
encoder occurs, the drive will either default to the phase locked loop to obtain motor speed
information or the drive will stop.

Overview
Variable pickup overspeed is used to protect the motor and connected load against excessive
speed or to detect conditions under which the motor speed has risen in excess of the desired
setpoint. The variable pickup overspeed function provides a curve of overspeed points as a
function of the commanded motor speed. A trip or alarm condition occurs when that speed is
exceeded. The function can be enabled once a programmable time period has elapsed since
the starting of the motor. The per-unit speed protection variable may be derived from a flux
based Phase Locked Loop (PLL) or encoder.

6.5 Device 14 - Variable Pickup Underspeed

Overview
Variable pickup underspeed is used to protect the motor and connected load against operation
at lower speeds than desired or to detect conditions under which the motor speed has fallen
below the desired setpoint due to problems with excessive load torque or torque production
difficulties in the machine. The variable pickup underspeed function provides a curve of speed
points as a function of the commanded motor speed. A trip or alarm condition occurs when that
speed falls below the curve at a given speed setting. The function offers a minimum speed
enable that only allows activation of this function after the programmable minimum speed has
been reached. Once the minimum speed has been reached, the function remains enabled
regardless of speed until the drive stops or the demand is set to a value below the minimum
speed reset. The minimum speed reset is used to define a range of demand settings below
which the function will remain in a reset condition. The per-unit speed protection variable may
be derived from a flux based Phase Locked Loop (PLL) or encoder.

6.6 Device 37 - Fixed Pickup Undercurrent

Overview
Fixed pickup undercurrent is used to protect the motor against operation with RMS phase
currents that are below the desired level. The fixed pickup undercurrent function provides an
RMS phase current setting that produces a trip or alarm condition when the current falls below
that value. The function can be programmed to produce a trip or an alarm when any one, any
two, or all three of the phase currents (Phase A, Phase B, Phase C RMS currents) is below the
set point. The function offers a minimum speed enable that only allows activation of this function
after the programmable minimum speed has been reached. Once the minimum speed has
been reached, the function remains enabled regardless of speed until the drive stops or the
demand is set to a value below the minimum speed reset. The minimum speed reset is used to
define a range of demand settings below which the function will remain in a reset condition. The
per-unit speed protection variable may be derived from a flux based Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
or encoder.

6.7 Device 37 - Variable Pickup Undercurrent

Overview
Variable pickup undercurrent is used to protect the load / system operation with RMS phase
currents that are below the desired level where sensitivity to the speed demand setting is
important. The variable pickup undercurrent function provides a curve of undercurrent set
points as a function of the commanded motor speed. A trip or alarm condition occurs when the
current falls below the curve at a given speed setting. The function can be programmed to
produce a trip or an alarm when any one, any two, or all three of the phase currents is below the
set point. The function offers a minimum speed enable that only allows activation of this function
after the programmable minimum speed has been reached. Once the minimum speed has
been reached, the function remains enabled regardless of speed until the drive stops or the
demand is set to a value below the minimum speed reset. The minimum speed reset is used to
define a range of demand settings below which the function will remain in a reset condition. The
function can also be enabled once a programmable time period has elapsed since the starting
of the motor. The per-unit speed protection variable may be derived from a flux based Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) or encoder.

Description
Torque producing current and motor flux associated with motor operation allows for the
calculation of motor torque as the product of torque producing current (iqs) and the machine
magnetic flux (λs). The torque producing current is the component of machine current that is in
phase with the machine voltage. A given machine has a maximum rated value of torque
producing current that combines with any flux producing current to form the overall rated stator

current. The torque producing current (iqs) is scaled using a per unit system with one per unit iqs
equal to the rated value of iqs for the particular machine being used. Similarly, the rated
magnetic flux (stator flux) is scaled such that one per unit flux has been achieved when the
machine exhibits rated voltage at rated speed.
The per-unit torque is then given by:
Tperunit = iqs × λs
Figure 6-8 Per Unit Torque
The torque should be steady and continuous but may contain small amounts of amplitude
variation over time. Typically, these variations occur over fixed amounts of time and tend to
repeat over those fixed amounts of time.
The torque can be resolved into two components, one component being the torque average
value and the other being small amplitude variation (or cyclical component) that can be added
together to obtain the total torque. Torque pulsation protection focuses on the time duration
varying part, specifically the RMS value of the pulsating part of the torque.
The protection calculates RMS torque pulsation by sampling and recording the torque over a
specific length time window. The window of time is selectable and should be chosen to be long
enough to contain several cycles of torque variation. The window will contain N samples of
torque (T(n)). The mean of the dataset is first calculated:
n =1
1
Tmean =
N
∑ T (n)

The mean is subtracted from the torque to obtain only the pulsating part. The RMS value of the
remaining pulsating part is calculated:

Trms =

6.14 Device 49T - Machine Thermal Model - Fixed Parameter Thermal

Overload
Overview
The fixed parameter thermal overload function uses a first order differential equation to track
the amount of thermal capacity used in the machine as described in IEC 60255-149. Thermal
capacity is used up as the machine temperatures approach maximum rated or allowable
conditions. An equivalent heating current is calculated that takes into account the RMS phase
currents of the machine as well as the amount of negative sequence current. The heat input to
the machine is determined based on the square of the equivalent heating current divided by an
adjustable rated current. The thermal capacity is adjusted based on thermal time constants for
heating, cooling, or stopped conditions in the machine in accordance with a first order
differential equation that accounts for heat inputs and heat outputs in the machine. The fixed
parameter function uses single values of rated current, heating time constant, and cooling time
constant. An adjustable threshold can be set to limit the maximum amount of thermal capacity
used. The function reports a trip or alarm condition or can block starting of the motor when the
thermal capacity used exceeds the programmed value. The thermal model of the machine can
be biased by RTD measurements of ambient temperature and/or stator temperature. Ambient
RTD readings are used to compensate for the effects of an ambient temperature other than
rated, stator RTD readings are used to set minimum thermal capacity used values based on the
stator temperature.

Discussion of Fixed Parameter Thermal Overload Protection Model

The thermal overload function uses a differential equation model to predict the amount of
thermal capacity used. The equation calculates H(t), an H(t) value of 1.0 indicates that 100%
of the thermal capacity of the machine has been used and basically that the machine is at the
maximum allowable temperature.
The differential equation is given by:
2
 i ( t )  ∆t τ
H ( t ) =  eq  Fa + H ( t − ∆t )
 k  τ + ∆ t τ + ∆t
One of the inputs to the equation is ieq(t) is the equivalent heating current expressed in per unit.
One per unit current in this context is equal to the rated current of the machine being protected.
Both H(t) and ieq(t) are functions of time while the other variables in the equation are fixed
(although adjustable) parameters.
The equivalent heating current is a function of the RMS value of the stator current and the
negative sequence stator current. ieq(t) is given by:
ieq = i avg2 + qi qi2
Where:
iarms + ibrms + icrms

iavg =
3
The equivalent current is a function of the average RMS stator current plus a term related to the
negative sequence current i2. The q factor weights the negative sequence current in the
calculation of the equivalent heating current ieq. The q factor should be adjusted to account for
the additional heating effects of negative sequence current and in many cases of induction
machines should be chosen to be equal to the ratio of negative sequence rotor resistance to the
positive sequence rotor resistance.

Another parameter of the equation is the k-Factor which effectively scales the current, irated. The
k factor is indicative of the amount of additional thermal capacity in the machine beyond
operation at rated current in the rated ambient temperature environment. A k factor of greater
than one implies that additional thermal capacity exists under rated operating conditions. Tau
(τ) is the time constant which determines how fast changes in equivalent stator current affect
the amount of thermal capacity used. The time constant is selected by the model depending on
rather the machine is cooling, heating, or stopped. Delta t (Δt) is the sampling interval used to
calculate the differential (difference) equation. The sampling time is set by the drive
configuration and is on the order of a few milliseconds. The Fa term is used to account for
operation in ambient temperatures other than the maximum rated ambient temperature. The Fa
term is set equal to one unless RTD sensors are used to provide a measured ambient
temperature. A more detailed discussion of the effect of Fa will be given later when the effects
of RTD usage are presented. The time constant determines how quickly changes in effective
current result in changes in the amount of thermal capacity used. A steady equivalent current
will eventually drive the thermal capacity used to a steady state value.
The steady state value of H(t) is given by:
2
i 
H steady − state =  eq  Fa
k 
In the case where ambient temperature RTD(s) are not being used then the steady state
equation becomes:
2
i 
H steady − state =  eq 
k 
It can be seen that when the per unit (PU) equivalent stator current is equal to the k-Factor, then
the thermal capacity used will eventually reach 100%. Note that H is scaled such that an H
value of 1 corresponds to 100%.
The time constants determine how fast the thermal capacity changes in response to a change
in the equivalent current ieq. There are three time constants that apply during different
operating modes of the machine. The stopped time constant is used when the machine is
stopped. The heating and cooling time constants are used when the machine is running. The
heating time constant is used when the thermal capacity used is increasing and the cooling time
constant is used when the thermal capacity used is falling.
Use of RTD(s) in the Thermal Overload Protection Model

RTDs that affect the thermal model are assigned to group names of either stator or ambient in
the parameter menus for the particular RTD. The hottest RTD in each group is selected and the
ambient or stator temperature is determined by that reading. The usage of ambient and/or
stator temperature RTD readings in the thermal overload protection model is controlled by the
model parameters named "Use Ambient RTDs" or "Use Stator RTDs". Either or both may be
selected for use in the thermal model.
The ambient RTD group temperature affects the value of Fa as defined in the equation for Fa
shown below.

 T − Tlim it 
Fa =  max 
 Tmax − Ta 
Tlimit is the maximum ambient temperature in which the machine is rated to operate. Ta is the
actual value of ambient temperature as measured by the RTD(s) assigned to the "ambient"
group. Ta is set equal to Tlimit in the case where no ambient temperature measurement is
provided making the value of Fa equal to one. Tmax is the maximum operating temperature of the
stator winding. As equation 4 shows, the value of Fa basically scales the steady state value of
the amount of thermal capacity used. A high value of ambient temperature will increase the
amount of steady state thermal capacity used while a low value of ambient temperature will
decrease it. An ambient temperature in excess of Tmax will force the thermal capacity used to the
saturation value of 500%.
The stator group temperature is used to determine a minimum value of thermal capacity used
that is based on the stator temperature reading. The value of thermal capacity used that is
predicted by the model is overridden when the value of thermal capacity used as determined
by the stator RTD(s) is higher when the "use stator RTDs" parameter is selected such as to use
the stator temperature measurement. The thermal capacity used based on the temperature
reported by the stator RTD group is shown in "Thermal Capacity used as determined by Stator
Temperature".

Figure 6-13 Thermal Capacity used as determined by Stator Temperature
The variables Tlimit and Tmax are the maximum rated ambient temperature and the maximum
allowable insulation temperature as earlier defined. The variable Tmaxoper is the operating
temperature of the stator at full rated load and at an ambient temperature of Tlimit. The amount
of thermal capacity used when the stator temperature is at Tmaxoper is determined based on the
hot to cold stall ratio (HCSR) in accordance with the equation below:
H (Tstator = Tmax oper ) = (1 − HCSR )
Note that H is scaled such that a value of H=1 corresponds to 100% thermal capacity used. The
hot to cold stall ratio is defined as the ratio of the rated maximum stall time of a machine which
has been operating at full rated load in a maximum rated ambient temperature environment for
a time period long enough to reach thermal equilibrium to the maximum to the rated maximum
stall time of a machine which has stabilized in the same ambient temperature environment
without operating.
The value of HCSR will presumably be less than or equal to one since the allowable stall time
with a hot stator winding should be less than the allowable stall time with a cold stator winding.
For example, if the allowable stall time of a machine is 5 seconds with a cold stator, and 4
seconds with a hot stator, then the HCSR will be equal to 0.8 and the amount of thermal
capacity used when the stator RTDs report a temperature equal to Tmaxoper will be 20%. When
the stator RTD(s) are enabled, the thermal overload function will report the model predicted
value if that value is greater than 20% or the value of 20% obtained from the stator temperature
measurement.

Overview
The variable parameter thermal overload function uses a first order differential equation to track
the amount of thermal capacity used in the machine as described in IEC 60255-149. Thermal
capacity is used up as the machine temperatures approach maximum rated or allowable
conditions. An equivalent heating current is calculated that takes into account the RMS phase
currents of the machine as well as the amount of negative sequence current. The heat input to
the machine is determined based on the square of the equivalent heating current divided by an
adjustable rated current. The thermal capacity is adjusted based on thermal time constants for
heating, cooling, or stopped conditions in the machine in accordance with a first order
differential equation that accounts for heat inputs and heat outputs in the machine. The variable
parameter function uses values of rated current, heating time constant, and cooling time
constant that are a function of the demand speed. An adjustable threshold can be set to limit the
maximum amount of thermal capacity used. The function reports a trip or alarm condition or can
block starting of the motor when the thermal capacity used exceeds the programmed value.
The thermal model of the machine can be biased by RTD measurements of ambient
temperature and/or stator temperature. Ambient RTD readings are used to compensate for the
effects of an ambient temperature other than rated, stator RTD readings are used to set
minimum thermal capacity used values based on the stator temperature.

The k-Factor can be varied as a function of the demand to effectively change the value of
current at which the steady state value of the thermal capacity used is equal to 100%. Since
losses increase with increasing frequency, the current required to reach rated machine
temperature is likely to be lower at high speeds. A reduced k factor at higher demand settings
can be used to adjust the steady state value of thermal capacity used to account for such speed
effects. Adjustment of the k factor as a function of the speed demand can also be used to
account for decreased cooling effects at low speeds in cases where the cooling is diminished
at low speeds. Figure " Use of a Variable k-Factor in Variable Thermal Overload Protection
Function" shows an example of how to use the 20 parameters to define a k-Factor variation with
the demand setting. The values of the parameters are given in Table "Values of the k-Factor
Settings". Note that the programmed value at 190% demand is used at all speeds in excess of
190%.

6.17 Device 50 - Fixed Pickup Instantaneous Overcurrent Device

Overview
Fixed pickup instantaneous overcurrent is used to protect the motor and connected load very
quickly against operation under conditions of high current. The fixed pickup instantaneous
overcurrent function provides a single instantaneous overcurrent setting that produces a trip or
alarm condition when the current rises above that value. The function can be programmed to
produce a trip or an alarm when any one, any two, or all three of the phase currents is above
the set point. The function offers an enable that latches once a programmable minimum speed
has been reached. The function can also be enabled once a programmable time period has
elapsed since the starting of the motor.

6.18 Device 51 - Fixed Inverse Time Overcurrent
6.18.1 Device 51 - Fixed Inverse Time Overcurrent

Overview
Fixed pickup inverse time overcurrent is used to protect the motor and connected load against
operation under conditions of high current with a trip time that is inversely related to the amount
of current. The fixed pickup inverse time overcurrent function provides a single instantaneous
overcurrent setting that produces a trip or alarm condition when the chosen inverse time
characteristic is met. The function can be programmed to produce a trip or an alarm when any
one, any two, or all three of the phase currents has met its inverse time curve. A variety of IEEE,
ANSI, IEC, and IAC inverse time curves are selectable as well as a user defined curve function.
The function offers an enable that latches once a programmable minimum speed has been
reached. The function can also be enabled once a programmable time period has elapsed
since the starting of the motor. Flux based PLL or encoder provides per unit speed (absolute
value).

User Programmed Curve

A user defined pickup and dropout time curve may be selected that allows pickup and drop out
times to be entered over the range of 0 to 190% per unit current. The pickup level that is set
defines the point on the curve that divides between dropout times and pickup times. Pickup and
dropout times are linearly interpolated between points except for that the 190% point defines
the pickup time for all values above that point. Typically, the VFD cannot measure output
currents in excess of 200% and current readings will tend to saturate in the case of currents in
excess of that value (this should be verified for the specific VFD in cases where protection may
be affected by output current sensor saturation). The pickup or dropout time is assumed to be
constant between the closest point to the pickup level and the pickup level itself. Refer to the
figure below to view an example of a user programmed curve.

The time dial multipler (TDM) affects the actual value of the trip time as well as the curve input
data. If the TDM is set to one, then the times in the table will be obtained but the times may also
be scaled with a non-unity value of the TDM setting. The reset type must also be set to "timed"
for the reset values in the table to apply. With reset type set to "instantaneous", an
instantaneous reset will occur when the current falls below the pickup level.

6.21 Device 59G - Fixed Pickup Instantaneous Zero Sequence

Overvoltage
Overview
Fixed pickup instantaneous zero sequence overvoltage is used to protect the motor very
quickly under conditions of high zero sequence voltage which could be caused by high phase
to ground leakage or a ground fault. The fixed pickup zero sequence overvoltage function
provides a single zero sequence overvoltage setting that produces a trip or alarm condition
when the zero sequence voltage rises above that value. The function offers an enable that
latches once a programmable minimum speed has been reached. The function can also be
enabled once a programmable time period has elapsed since the starting of the motor.
Note
The zero-sequence voltage uses a per unit system based on the rated line to neutral voltage of
the machine. A 100% zero sequence voltage will occur when the RMS value of the average of
the three phase voltages with respect to earth ground is equal to the rated machine voltage
(given as a line-to-line voltage) divided by the square root of 3.

6.23 Device 66 - Notching or Jogging Device - Starts per Hour

Overview
The starts per hour function is used to enforce a minimum time between starts of the machine.
A programmable minimum time since last start can be set. A start attempt prior to the expiration
of the minimum time can be programmed to trip, alarm, or block start.
Note
The Protection Systems Engineer must ensure that either the fixed or variable Thermal Model
protection parameters are properly set.
A thermal model is required for hot starts, cold starts, and minimum thermal capacity to run. It
is not possible to use these functions without a thermal model. The software is arranged to
automatically enable the fixed thermal model once one the three functions is enabled. That is,
the thermal model cannot be disabled as long as the hot starts, cold starts, or minimum thermal
capacity functions are enabled.
If the thermal model is not configured properly, the system will not be protected as intended.

Overview
Fixed pickup overfrequency is used to protect the motor and connected load against sustained
operation under conditions of higher than desired frequency. The fixed pickup overfrequency
function provides a single overfrequency setting that produces a trip or alarm condition when
the frequency rises above that value. The function offers an enable that latches once a
programmable minimum speed has been reached. The function will remain enabled until the
drive stops or the demand is set to a value below the minimum speed reset. The minimum
speed reset is used to define a range of demand settings below which the function will remain
in a reset condition. The per-unit speed protection variable may be derived from a flux based
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) or encoder.
Note
Encoder Loss
Depending upon the value of parameter 1320 (encoder loss response), the drive will either
default to the phase locked loop to obtain motor speed information or the drive will stop.
Fixed Pickup Overfrequency
Note
Over-frequency is enabled by a minimum speed or by a starting time, both of which can be set
to zero. If set to zero, the function is enabled on start-up.

6.28 Device 81 - Variable Pickup Overfrequency

Overview
Variable pickup overfrequency is used to protect the motor and connected load against
operation at higher frequencies than desired or to detect conditions under which the motor
frequency has risen above the desired setpoint due to problems with load regeneration or other
difficulties in the machine or load. The variable pickup overfrequency function provides a curve
of overfrequency points as a function of the commanded motor speed. A trip or alarm condition
occurs when that frequency rises above the curve at a given speed setting. The function offers
an enable that latches once a programmable minimum speed has been reached. The function
will remain enabled until the drive stops or the demand is set to a value below the minimum
speed reset. The minimum speed reset is used to define a range of demand settings below
which the function will remain in a reset condition. The function can also be enabled once a
programmable time period has elapsed since the starting of the motor. The per-unit speed
protection variable may be derived from a flux based Phase Locked Loop (PLL) or encoder.

6.29 Device 81 - Fixed Pickup Underfrequency

Fixed pickup underfrequency is used to protect the motor and connected load against
sustained operation under conditions of lower than desired frequency. The fixed pickup
underfrequency function provides a single underfrequency setting that produces a trip or alarm
condition when the frequency falls below that value. The function offers an enable that latches
once a programmable minimum speed has been reached. The function can also be enabled
once a programmable time period has elapsed since the starting of the motor.reached. The
function will remain enabled until the drive stops or the demand is set to a value below the
minimum speed reset. The minimum speed reset is used to define a range of demand settings
below which the function will remain in a reset condition. The per-unit speed protection variable
may be derived from a flux based Phase Locked Loop (PLL) or encoder.

6.30 Device 81 - Variable Pickup Underfrequency

Overview
Variable pickup underfrequency is used to protect the motor and connected load against
operation at lower frequencies than desired or to detect conditions under which the motor
frequency has fallen below the desired setpoint due to problems with excessive load torque or
other difficulties in the machine or load. The variable pickup underfrequency function provides
a curve of underfrequency points as a function of the commanded motor speed. A trip or alarm
condition occurs when that frequency falls below the curve at a given speed setting. The
function offers an enable that latches once a programmable minimum speed has been
reached. The function will remain enabled until the drive stops or the demand is set to a value
below the minimum speed reset. The minimum speed reset is used to define a range of demand
settings below which the function will remain in a reset condition. A flux based phase-lock-loop
(PLL) or encoder provides the per unit speed (absolute value) input measurement data. The
default is PLL.

each phase overcurrent A, B, C corresponds to bit fields 11, 12, 13 respectively. If a "1" instead
of "0" displays, that would mean that a fault or alarm (depending on configuration) has
occurred. An capture of one of the pages in this Output ID appendix is provided below for
additional clarification.

RTD Status
The RTD Status Screen displays the status and temperature of all RTD inputs. The RTD status
may be displayed as OK, Short, Open, or Disable.
Referring to the RTD Status Screen shown below, it can be seen that RTD1 (RT1) displays a
status of OK. This means that the RTD1 is enabled, and neither shorted, nor opened. Viewing
the lower portion of the status screen, it can be seen that RTD1 shows a valid temperature of
94.2 °C . The remaining RTDs in the status screen display a status of Disable.
Looking at the lower portion of the screen, it can be seen all but the valid RTD have a
temperature value of 3276 °C. This is a purposely programmed value to show that the RTD
does not have an OK status. In this screen, the status of those RTDs with invalid temperature
show a Disable status. Other valid status for invalid temperature display may be Short, Open,
or Disable.

Should the AMP menu not display properly, ensure that the PLC is correctly installed. The
protection engineer responsible for the initial programming should be able to correct this
problem.
If this issue persists, contact Siemens Support. This information is contained in the Service and
Support chapter of this manual.
Note
The PLC is a ‘key’ to unlock the AMP and RTD functions in the VFD control.
● Should the AMP menu not display properly on the PLC, please check for loose connections
to the PLC and verify that the internal IP address of the VFD is set to 172.17.20.16
(Parameter #9310).
● The PLC contains an encrypted passcode. The passcode only gives access to the PLC
software in the VFD control. This passcode is not required to program the protection

A.1 IEEE Device Numbers and Functions
IEEE device numbers and functions

Each standard device number, its definition and its functions are based on a system adopted
as standard for automatic switchgear by IEEE, and incorporated in American Standard C37.2
- (1979). The table provides the definition of only those functions used in motor relay protection
for Sinamics GH180 Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drives.
Device Definition and Function

Number
12 Overspeed device is usually a direct-connected speed switch that functions on machine overspeed.
14 Underspeed device functions when the speed of a machine falls below a pre-determined value.
37 Undercurrent or underpower relay functions when the current or power flow decreases below a predetermined
value.
38 Bearing protective device functions on excessive bearing temperature or on other abnormal mechanical con‐
ditions associated with the bearing, such a s undue wear, which may eventually result in excessive bearing
temperature or failure.
46 Reverse-phase or phase-balance current relay is a relay that functions when the polyphase currents are of
reverse phase sequence or when the polyphase currents are unbalanced or contain negative phase-sequence
components above a given amount.
48 Incomplete sequence relay is a relay that generally returns the equipment to the normal, or off, position and
locks it out if the normal starting, operating, or stopping sequence is not properly completed within a prede‐
termined time. If the device is used for alarm purposes only, it should preferably be designated as 48A alarm.
49 Machine or transformer thermal relay is a relay that functions when the temperature of a machine armature
winding or other load carry winding or element of a machine or power transformer exceeds a predetermined
value.
50 Instantaneous overcurrent relay is a relay that functions instantaneously on an excessive value of current.
51 AC time overcurrent relay is a relay with either a definite or inverse time characteristic that functions when the
ac input current exceeds a predetermined value, and in which the input current and operating time are inde‐
pendently related or inversely related through a substantial portion of the performance range.
55 Power factor relay is a relay that operates when the power factor in an ac circuit rises above or falls below a
predetermined value.
66 Notching or jogging device functions to allow only a specified number of operations of a given device or
equipment, or a specified number of successive operations within a given time of each other. It is also a device
that functions to energize a circuit periodically or for fractions of specified time intervals, or that is used to permit
intermittent acceleration or jogging of a machine at low speeds for mechanical positioning,
81 Frequency relay is a relay that responds to the frequency of an electrical quantity, operating when the frequency
or rate of change of frequency exceeds or is less than a predetermind value.
Separate descriptive tables as configured for the devices used in Motor Protection for
SINAMICS GH180 Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drives are provided in the sections

ESD guidelines A
A.1 ESD-sensitive Components
Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD)
NOTICE
ESD Sensitive Equipment
● Always be aware of electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working near or touching
components inside the VFD cabinet. The printed circuit boards contain components that
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Handling and servicing of components that are
sensitive to ESD should be done only by qualified personnel and only after reading and
understanding proper ESD techniques. The following ESD guidelines should be observed.
Following these rules can greatly reduce the possibility of ESD damage to printed circuit
board (PCB) components.
● Always transport static sensitive equipment in antistatic bags.
● Always use a soldering iron that has a grounded tip. Also, use either a metallic vacuum-
style plunger or copper braid when desoldering.
● Ensure that anyone handling the printed circuit boards is wearing a properly grounded
static strap. The wrist strap should be connected to ground through a 1 Megohm resistor.
Grounding kits are available commercially through most electronic wholesalers.
● Static charge build-up can be removed from a conductive object by touching the object with
a properly grounded piece of metal.
● When handling a PC board, always hold the card by its edges.
● Do not slide printed circuit boards (PCBs) across any surface (e.g., a table or work bench).
If possible, perform PCB maintenance at a workstation that has a conductive covering that
is grounded through a 1 Megohm resistor. If a conductive tabletop cover is unavailable, a
clean steel or aluminum tabletop is an excellent substitute.
● Avoid plastic Styrofoam™, vinyl and other non-conductive materials. They are excellent
static generators and do not give up their charge easily.
● When returning components to Siemens Industry, Inc. always use static-safe packing. This
limits any further component damage due to ESD.

ESD guidelines
Components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD)
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge
Electronic components can be destroyed in the event of improper handling, transporting,
storage, and shipping.
Pack the electronic components in appropriate ESD packaging; e.g. ESD foam, ESD
packaging bags and ESD transport containers.
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below.
● Avoid physical contact with electronic components. If you need to perform absolutely
essential work on these components, then you must wear one of the following protective
gear:
– Grounded ESD wrist strap
– ESD shoes or ESD shoe grounding strips if there is also an ESD floor.
● Do not place electronic components close to data terminals, monitors or televisions.
Maintain a minimum clearance to the screen (> 10 cm).
● Electronic components should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating
materials such as plastic foil, plastic parts, insulating table supports or clothing made of
synthetic fibers.
● Place components in contact with ESD-suited materials e.g. ESD tables, ESD surfaces,
ESD packaging.
● Measure on the components only if one of the following conditions is met:
– The measuring device is grounded with a protective conductor.
– The measuring head of a floating measuring device has been discharged directly before
the measurement.
The necessary ESD protective measures for the entire working range for electrostatically
sensitive devices are illustrated once again in the following drawings. Precise instructions for
ESD protective measures are specified in the standard IEC 61340-5-1.
