General warning symbol: Observe the explanations about the hazard on the de‐
vice labels.
For transportation, observe the "transportation markings (Page 53)" on the device packaging.
2.2 Qualified personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may only be operated by personnel
qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific
task, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Because of their training and
experience, qualified personnel can recognize any risks involved with handling these products/
systems and avoid any possible dangers.
2.3 The 5 safety rules

To ensure your own personal safety as well as to avoid material damage, always comply with the
safety-relevant instructions when carrying out any work. Also carefully comply with the 5 safety
rules according to EN 50110‑1 "Working in a no-voltage state" in the specified sequence.

Safety instructions
2.4 Safe handling
5 safety rules
1. Disconnect the system.
Also disconnect the auxiliary circuits, for example, anti-condensation heating.
2. Secure against reconnection.
3. Verify absence of operating voltage.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
To energize the system, apply the measures in reverse order.
2.4 Safe handling
Electric shock from external supplies

Even if the circuit breaker is open, parts of the drive can be under voltage (live) as a result of the
auxiliary voltage at the premagnetization, precharging or demagnetization transformers. This
danger is not limited to the drive, but can also occur with components that are electrically
connected to the drive (e.g. circuit breakers or isolators). Touching live parts can result in death,
serious injury and material damage
• Isolate all components that can feed voltage to the drive before commencing work.
Electric shock due to high voltages in operation

When operating this equipment very high voltages develop. Even after switching off the mains
voltage, or while the connected machine is still turning, high voltages can remain for a
prolonged length of time. Touching live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the 5 safety rules (Page 15).
• Operate the device properly.
• Service and maintain the device regularly and correctly.
Electric shock caused by induced voltage

Rotating machinery can induce dangerous high voltages and synchronous motors that are not
de-excited immediately can also pose a hazard. If the connection to the motor is not isolated or
grounded, these voltages can also remain. Touching live parts can result in death or serious
injury.
• Before opening the doors, wait until the connected machine has come to a standstill.

Safety instructions
2.4 Safe handling
Danger to life as a result of high voltages at the capacitors and in the DC link
High voltages are still present at the capacitors of the power cell and at the DC link even after the
system has been shut down. Touching live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• A label on the drive specifies the discharge times of the DC link capacitors. Only open the drive
once these discharge times have elapsed.
• Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
Electric shock caused by dangerous auxiliary voltages

Danger voltages are still present even after shutdown. Touching live parts can result in death or
serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the 5 safety rules.
Danger caused by arcing

Hazards caused by arcing can occur as result of the following factors, for example:
Input currents above the permissible limits, incorrectly dimensioned circuit breakers or
transformers, incorrectly connected or unconnected cables, dirt, objects that have been
forgotten, e.g. tools used for installation.
Arcing can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• As system operator, carefully ensure that the system has been professionally designed and
dimensioned.
• Correctly connect the power cables. The maximum permissible input currents are listed in
the "Technical specifications".
• Remove contamination and dirt.
• After installation and mounting, carefully check that no objects have been left in the device.
Burns caused by fire escaping from the pressure relief flaps

Fire can escape through the pressure relief flaps if arcing occurs. Persons who are on the roof
section of the drive can suffer severe burns. Objects that are on the roof section of the drive can
catch fire or be flung into the room. Death, serious injury or material damage can result.
• Never climb on the drive. Never place any objects on the roof section of the drive.
Danger due to live stationary parts, moving or rotating parts

Contact with the parts mentioned can result in death, serious physical injury or damage to
property.
• Observe the instructions regarding installation and operation.
• Always take protective measures before touching any components.
• Do not remove any covers.

Safety instructions
2.4 Safe handling
Risk of burns due to hot component surfaces

Certain components (e.g. the heat sink and reactor) can become very hot during operation.
These components can remain hot for a long time after operation. Severe skin injuries (burns)
can result when coming into contact with these components.
• After the device has been shut down, do not touch any hot components.
Risk of burns due to hot anti-condensation heating surface

When the temperature control limit value is reached the anti-condensation heating is switched
on. Once activated, the anti-condensation heating can generate a great deal of heat. Contact
can result in serious injury, such as skin burns.
• Ensure that the anti-condensation heating cannot be touched.
• Ensure that the anti-condensation heating is switched off before carrying out any repair or
maintenance work.
Risk of injury at places that are difficult to access

If you do not use appropriate protective equipment when working in places that are difficult to
access you are at risk of injury. For example, sharp edges and splinters can cause injuries to the
head and skin. If you carry out work in the upper section using unsuitable ladders or similar, you
can fall and injure yourself.
• Use appropriate protective equipment, especially a hard hat and gloves.
• Use suitable steps or ladders when working in the upper area.
Eye and skin injuries caused by deionized water

Deionized water is harmful to eyes and skin and can damage surfaces.
• Therefore, use appropriate protective clothing when you carry out any work on the drive.
However, if your eyes or skin do come into contact with deionized water, rinse the affected
area thoroughly with tap water as soon as possible.

2.7.3 Installation site safety
Danger due to an unsecured installation location

This device is used in industrial power installations. Improper use, incorrect operation,
insufficient maintenance, and access by unauthorized persons can lead to accidents. The results
can be death, serious bodily injury or damage to property.
• Install the device in electrical rooms where only qualified personnel have access. If this is not
possible, then ensure that a barrier prevents uncontrolled access. Use safety fences and
appropriate signs, for example, to prevent unauthorized entry to the zone that has been
fenced off.
• Place notices that indicate that only trained personnel are allowed to operate and carry out
maintenance and repair work.
• To comply with safety regulations, equip plants and systems with additional monitoring and
protective devices. Follow technical equipment legislation and accident prevention
regulations.
Note
The drive does not have a grounding breaker at the input/output. The system operator must,
therefore, ensure that there is sufficient grounding.

Safety instructions
2.7.4 Measures for operator protection in electromagnetic fields

The plant operator is responsible for taking the following appropriate measures (labels and
hazard warnings) to adequately protect operating personnel against any possible risk.
• Observe the relevant nationally applicable health and safety regulations or the applicable
national regulations in the country of installation. In Germany, "electromagnetic fields" are
subject to regulations BGV B11 and BGR B11 stipulated by the German statutory industrial
accident insurance institution.
• Display adequate hazard warning notices on the installation.
• Place barriers around hazardous areas.

• Take measures, e.g. using shields, to reduce electromagnetic fields at their source.
• Make sure that personnel are wearing the appropriate protective gear.
2.7.5 Requirements for the circuit breaker provided by the customer

The circuit breaker on the primary side of the input transformer on the plant side belongs to the
safety system of the converter. If a fault occurs inside the converter, the energy that is effective
at the fault location must be limited. This is realized as a result of the inductance of the incoming
transformer, which limits the rate-of-rise and magnitude of the current and the circuit breaker
that trips as quickly as possible.
WARNING
High voltages and arcs
Circuit breakers are safety components. Connecting or setting the circuit breaker incorrectly
can result in death, serious injury, or material damage.
• Connect the circuit breakers correctly.
• Select the system values that match the converter.
To ensure adequate converter protection, the circuit breaker provided by the customer must
fulfill the following requirements:
• The total opening time of the circuit breaker – from the command to actually opening – must
not be more than 80 ms. It is not permissible that the opening time, specified in the technical
documentation of the circuit breaker manufacturer, exceeds 80 ms. The converter monitors
the total opening time.
• The converter monitors the TRIP coils (shunt releases) for wire breakage and failure of the
control voltage in the switchgear installation.

Safety instructions
2.8 Residual risks
• The circuit breaker must be equipped with an undervoltage tripping function. The
undervoltage trip unit (low-voltage coil) is controlled via the tripping circuit in which the
"undervoltage trip unit" of the converter must also be integrated. The auxiliary voltage from
the switchgear (this is a reliable supply) is used as the supply.
• Avoid additional delay times when controlling the circuit breaker. All commands from the
drive to the circuit breaker must act directly without intervention of coupling relays.
• A feedback signal must be available for each of the circuit breaker states CLOSED and OPEN.
The feedback signals must not be delayed. Do not use any coupling relays.
• An additional, independently operating overcurrent protection for the circuit breaker must
be provided on the plant side (transformer and cable protection).
• The circuit breaker is activated and enabled by the converter closed-loop controller. Under no
circumstances should you close the circuit breaker by external mechanical or electrical
means. A mechanical interlock of the manual ON command at the circuit breaker prevents
destruction of the converter as a result of an uncoordinated switch-on operation.
2.8 Residual risks

According to the EU machinery directive, machine manufacturers / plant operators must
conduct a risk assessment of their machine. Plant operators must conduct a risk assessment of
their plant. In particular, pay attention to Annex 1 "General Principles" of the EU machinery
directive.

Safety instructions
2.8 Residual risks
Pay attention to the following residual risks:

• Unintentional movements of driven machine parts
Unintentional movements of driven machine parts can occur during commissioning,
operation, maintenance, and repair, e.g. from the following causes:
– Hardware defects and/or software errors in the sensors, controllers, actuators, and
connection technology
– Response times of the controller and drive
– Operating and/or environmental conditions outside of the specification
– Condensation/conductive contamination
– Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
– Use of radio devices/cell phones in the immediate vicinity of the controller
– External influences/damage
• High temperatures and emissions
A fault can occur as a result of the following, for example:
– Component malfunctions
– Software errors
For instance, a fault can have the following effects:
– Extraordinarily high temperatures, including open fires as a result of the fault
– Emissions of light, noise, particles or gases
Devices with "Open Type/IP20 degree of protection" must be installed in an electrical room or
a comparable environment.
• Hazardous shock voltages
Hazardous shock voltages can result from the following causes, for example:
– Component malfunctions
– Induction of voltages in moving motors
– Condensation/conductive contamination
• The release of substances and emissions that are harmful to the environment
Improper operation or the improper disposal of components can harm the environment.

Safety instructions
2.9 Security information
• Damage from pressure build-up during electric arcs in the event of a fault
If the building has not been designed correctly in terms of how it has been dimensioned,
damage can result from the pressure that can possibly build up inside.
• Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
The devices have been designed according to the relevant IEC standards, and tested in line
with strict type-testing procedures. They were developed and manufactured so that there is
a very low probability of internal faults occurring. However, internal faults cannot be
completely ruled out.
WARNING
Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
Defects such as damage to components, overvoltages, or loose parts, as well as exceptional
operating statuses, can cause a failure within the enclosure. This can result in an internal
electric arc. If an electric arc occurs and people are nearby, this could lead to death, serious
physical injury, and damage to property.
• Ensure that only qualified personnel perform any work that is required.
• Observe the safety and operating instructions in this documentation and labels attached to
the device for any work that is performed.

3.7 Re-cooling unit
3.7 Re-cooling unit
3.7.1 Operating principle of the re-cooling unit

The re-cooling unit dissipates the heat loss from the drive. The deionized water in the internal
water circuit absorbs the heat of the drive power unit which is to be dissipated. A maintenance-
free circulating pump pumps the hot water into the heat exchanger. The external raw water
circuit cools the hot deionized water. The cooled deionized water is pumped back to the drive.
For additional information, refer to the operating instructions of the re-cooling unit.
3.7.2 The internal deionized water circuit
The internal water circuit is filled with deionized water (deionized, fully-desalinated water). The
conductivity of the cooling water must be ≤ 1 µS/cm in operation.
NOTICE
Material damage due to inadmissible additives in the deionized water
Inadmissible additives in the deionized water can cause the cooling system to fail. This could
damage the drive.
• Use only deionized water that corresponds to the specifications. The specification of the
deionized water can be found in the documentation for the re-cooling unit.
• The level in the deionized water expansion tank and the pump motor circuit breakers are
monitored. Any water leak is also detected.
• The pressure of the deionized water is displayed on a manometer. If the flow is excessively
low, then the re-cooling unit automatically switches over the pumps.
• The deionized water temperature is measured. The value is used for controlling the three-
way valve
• If one of the monitoring devices responds, a signal is output or the re-cooling unit and drive
are switched off.
Deionized water requirements

• Content of sulfur chloride and nitrogen compounds
Content of oxidizable, organic substances Max. a quantity equivalent to the
usage of 30 mg/l potassium per‐
manganate KMnO4
Ion exchanger
An ion exchanger is installed in the re-cooling unit. The ion exchanger is connected in the
deionized water circuit.
If the conductivity exceeds the permissible limits, then a message is output. In this case, replace
the filling in the ion exchanger with an original filling. If the conductivity continues to rise, the
re-cooling unit and drive are switched off. The ion exchanger is a consumable and is not covered
by the warranty.
Dirt filters
The re-cooling unit is equipped with several dirt filters
• A dirt filter with a sieve (mesh width: 0.5 mm) is located in front of the drive intake.
• A fine filter (mesh width: 0.05 mm) is located at the ion filter outlet.
• An air filter is fitted on the expansion tank.
that filter out dirt and contamination from the water circuit, thereby preventing the drive from
being damaged.
3.7.3 The external raw water circuit
The raw water flows through the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger cools the deionized water.
If other raw water specifications apply, titanium heat exchanger plates or tube bundle heat
exchangers are available (optional).
NOTICE
Material damage caused by deposits of suspended solids
If you reduce the flow rate to reduce the raw water usage, then deposits of suspended solids
can build up in the heat exchanger as a result of the slow flow rate.
These suspended solids can then cause the cooling system to fail. The drive could be damaged.
Only reduce the raw water flow rate if the raw water does not have any suspended solids.

Replacing a power cell (Page 120)
3.8.5.1 IGBT module
Every IGBT module comprises the following components:

• Cooling plate
• Two IGBTs

Description
3.8 Components
• Control electronics
• Discharge resistors
A branch reactor is located in each phase, between the branch connections and the phase
output. The IGBTs can limit and disconnect a short-circuit current. This means that the converter
is short-circuit proof, that is, a short-circuit will not damage the device but instead will cause the
converter to stop.
For M2C topology, a low-inductance busbar is only required within the power cell. The control
electronics takes its power from the capacitor bank. The gating electronics is mounted directly
above the IGBT modules, and therefore guarantees a compact design with high noise immunity.
The power semiconductors are connected via the gating electronics. The gating command is
transmitted from the Power Stack Adapter (PSA) to the gating electronics via a plastic fiber-optic
cable connection.
3.8.5.2 Capacitor bank

For the M2C inverter unit, the capacitor bank represents distributed DC link capacitors; this
means that a central energy storage device (DC link capacitor) is not necessary. The capacitor
bank smooths and stores the energy of the DC link and protects the power semiconductors
against switching overvoltages. It is maintenance free and self-healing.
The drive is switched off when the circuit breaker is disconnected. The capacitor bank is
discharged via the gating electronics and discharge resistors.
3.8.6 Door limit switch

Door limit switches monitor the doors. The circuit breaker opens when a door is opened.
3.8.7 Electromechanical door interlocking system
The electromechanical door interlock system is designed to protect personnel, and is an integral
part of the safety concept. During operation all the doors are interlocked (with the exception of
the door for the Control Module).
The electromechanical door interlocking system prevents access to the power unit while
operational. The following conditions must be fulfilled in order to open the doors. You can open
the doors once released by the control.
For more information see section "Opening device" in the "Maintenance" chapter.
The device cannot be switched on again until all the doors are closed. The doors remain
interlocked if the auxiliary voltage fails. For more information on this topic, see section "Repair"
in the "Maintenance" chapter.

3.8.8 Precharging
The power cell capacitors must be precharged in order to avoid overcurrents and temporary
overvoltage conditions in the DC link when connecting the line supply. The DC link is precharged
via the auxiliary supply.
The precharging circuit comprises the following components:
• Precharging transformer
• Diode bridge
• Precharging resistors
• Contactor for switching on and off
• Circuit-breaker
Detailed information about interconnecting the precharging components is provided in the
circuit manual. The component mounting locations are provided in the layout diagram.
3.8.9 Actual value sensing

The actual value sensing is used to measure voltages and currents. The voltages are measured
using AVT combination modules, whose measuring resistors are connected in series. The
currents are measured using electronic LEM current transformers and AVT combination
modules.
AVT combination modules are separated and isolated from circuits that can be touched using a
transformer. The AVT combination modules convert analog signals into digital signals. They
transfer signals to the Power Stack Adapter (PSA) via fiber-optic cables.
Detailed information about interconnecting the actual value sensing modules is provided in the
circuit manual. The component mounting locations are provided in the layout diagram.

3.9.2 Automatic restart function (option L32)

With option "Automatic restart" (L32), the system automatically restarts when the line supply
fails, irrespective of how long the line supply failure was. Alarms are acknowledged
automatically and the drive is restarted.
Voltage Sensing Module (VSM)

With the "Automatic restart" option, a Voltage Sensing Module VSM10 is integrated in the drive.
The VSM10 acquires the actual voltage values at the medium-voltage level upstream of the
circuit breaker.
When the medium voltage is restored after a power failure, this is detected by the open-loop/
closed-loop controllers via voltage transformers when the input-side circuit breaker has dropped
out. The voltage transformers should be located at the medium-voltage level upstream of the
circuit breaker.
For safety reasons, a time limit between the power failure and the maximum permissible power
restoration time is incorporated to ensure that the drive does not restart in an uncontrolled
manner. As a further warning, an acoustic signal is output when the drive restarts.
You can find further information on the Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10) in Section "Description
of the Components".

6.1 Safety instructions for electrical connections
Danger as a result of an insufficient degree of protection

The degree of protection can be diminished if the cable entries are inadequately sealed, e.g.
after making modifications to the top plate or base plate. Dirt and vermin can enter the device
while it is operational. When operated with an insufficient degree of protection, this can result
in death, serious injury and material damage.
• Close and seal the cable entries corresponding to the degree of protection.

damage.
Injury caused by short circuit

Damaged cables, or their improper routing, can cause damage to property and personal injury.
• Only use cables that are completely intact and not damaged. Correctly route the cables. Do
not interchange input and output terminals.
• Make sure that a short-circuit cannot occur on the power cables due to failure of the
insulation as a result of incorrect cable installation.
• Check the electrical connections after service work.
Danger caused by incorrect cable routing

Arcing can occur if cables are not routed in the supplied cable channels. This can result in death,
serious injuries or material damage.
• Use the cable ducts and cable entries on the roof to route the cables when electrically
connecting the cabinets.

Electrical connection
6.1 Safety instructions for electrical connections
Material damage caused by parts that can be magnetized

The use of magnetizable parts, e.g. ferrous cable clamps, is not permitted. Using parts and
components that can be magnetized can cause damage.
• Only use parts that consist of non-magnetic material.
Damage caused by incorrectly shrinking cable terminations

If you are connecting the mains and motor-side power cables, when shrinking the cable
terminations, other control lines and fiber-optic cables in the surrounding cable channels can
become damaged.
• When shrinking, ensure not to damage cables in the surrounding cable channels.
Damage caused by incorrectly opening the doors

• Open the doors as described in Section "Preparing for use".

Note
Control and signal lines must always be connected according to the circuit diagrams supplied
with the unit. Detailed information about connecting the components is given in the
interconnection diagram.
Note
We recommend using shielded cables. Unshielded cables can transfer disturbances to the
control and signal lines and lead to malfunctions in the drive.
Note
To ensure trouble-free operation without interference or disturbances, route the power cables
and signal lines separately. Interference, for example, will result in the device not behaving as
expected.
When connecting and routing power and signal cables, observe the instructions provided in
chapter "Electromagnetic compatibility (Page 75)".

6.2 Electromagnetic compatibility

The following fundamental information and guidelines facilitate compliance with the EMC
directives.
Note
We recommend that EMC is planned for the entire plant.
Cabinet installation
• Connect painted or anodized metal components using contact washers or remove the
insulating layer.
• Use unpainted, de-oiled mounting plates.
• Establish a central connection between ground and the protective conductor system (PE
protective conductor).
Cable installation
• Cables that are subject to or sensitive to interference should be laid as far apart from each
other as possible.
• The distance between the power cable and the signal cable should be at least 20 cm. Device-
specific data apply for power cables. You can find further information on power cables under
"Connecting power cables".
• When the cables are routed close to ground potential, the immunity to interference is
increased. For this reason, you are advised to lay these cables along edges and at ground
potential.
• Ground the reserve cores on at least one end.
• In order to avoid additional locations where interference can be coupled in, long cables
should be shortened or routed where there is little interference.
• If conductors or cables conduct signals of different classes, then the conductors and cables
must cross at a right angle. This especially involves sensitive and noisy signals.
– Class 1:
Unshielded cables for ≤ 60 V DC
Unshielded cables for ≤ 25 V AC
Shielded analog signal cables
Shielded bus and data cables
Operator panel interfaces, incremental/absolute encoder cables
– Class 2:
Unshielded cables for > 60 V DC and ≤ 230 V DC
Unshielded cables for > 25 V AC and ≤ 230 V AC
– Class 3:
Unshielded cables for > 230 V AC/V DC and ≤ 1000 V AC/DC
– Class 4:
Unshielded cables for > 1000 V AC/DC

Shield connection
• Do not use cable shields to conduct current. It is not permissible that the cable shield is used
as neutral or PE conductor.
• Apply the cable shield so that it covers the greatest possible surface area. Use ground clamps,
ground terminals or ground screw connections.
• Avoid extending the cable shield to the grounding point using a wire. This reduces the shield
effectiveness by up to 90%.

• Attach the cable shield to a shield busbar directly after the line inlet into the cabinet. Insulate
the shielded cable without any interruptions. Route the cable shield up to the device
connection.

② Shielded cable
③ Mounting clip
Figure 6-1 Shield connection using a clip
NOTICE
Impaired functionality as a result of damaged or incorrectly connected cable shields
Incorrect connection or damaging of the cable shield can impair the function of the system.
• Handle the cable shield carefully.
• Ensure that the cable shield is correctly connected.
• Bridge shield gaps (at terminals, circuit-breakers, contactors, etc.) with minimum impedance
and through the largest possible surface area.
① Shield busbars
② Cables
③ Terminals
Figure 6-2 Bridging shield gaps

6.4 Shield support
I/O connection
• Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
and distributed devices with the largest possible cross-section (at least 16 mm²).
• Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
• Choose the greatest possible clearance between the power and signal cables (at least 20 cm).
The greater the distance over which the cables are routed in parallel, the greater the
clearance must be. You must install additional shields if sufficient clearance cannot be
maintained.
• Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.
• Surge suppressors – e.g. RC elements or varistors – must be connected to the solenoids of
contactors and relays in the device.
• In order to reduce noise/interference entering or exiting via the cable, filter auxiliary voltages
in the control cabinet.
6.3 Potential concept

A noise-free connection between the internal and external supply voltage can be achieved by
connecting the 0 V potentials to each other and grounding them. This also eliminates the need
for the control circuit insulation monitor required by DIN EN 60204-1.

Figure 6-3 Potential concept
6.4 Shield support
Only use shielded medium-voltage cables to reduce cable-conducted radio frequency

interference (RFI) and to achieve the appropriate EMC compatibility.
• The cable shield must be uninterrupted over the complete length of the cable and must
comprise non-magnetic material. Preferably use cables with foil-type shields.
• Do not connect other cable shields, power cables or control signals to the motor cable shield.
Powerful electrical interference and disturbances are induced in cables such as these.

6.4 Shield support
• For plants and systems distributed over a wide physical area, always use an equipotential
bonding conductor.
• Correctly connect armored cable using a cable gland. The cable armor must be connected to
the cable gland around its complete circumference. The gland itself must be in contact with
the gland plate around its complete circumference and must be connected to PE.

DANGER
Danger to life as a result of insufficient grounding
The drive must be grounded to ensure that it operates safely and reliably. If the drive is operated
with insufficient grounding, then the protection and monitoring functions can fail. Death,
serious injury, or material damage will result.
• To ensure the correct functioning of the protection and monitoring equipment, ground the
device.
A grounding busbar is located in the lower section of the cabinets ②. The grounding busbar is
used to ground the components installed in the cabinet and to ground the cabinet itself.
1. To ensure safe drive operation, connect a protective grounding conductor ④ to the
grounding busbar ②.
2. Connect the grounding cable of the foundation ③ to the grounding busbar ②.

Figure 6-6 Connecting the grounding cable
6.7 Laying the signal lines
Malfunction due to common cable installation

Malfunctions can occur in the converter if cables with differing voltage levels are laid together
with internal cables in one cable duct in the cabinet.
• Do not run cables coming from the outside, for example to the terminal strips, together with
internal cables in one cable duct.
Ensure that the following instructions are complied with:
• All signal lines must be shielded. The cable shield should be braided, because cables shielded
by tape or foil are five times less efficiently protected against interference. Always ground the
cable shields at both ends. Contacting at one end is advantageous in exceptional cases only.
• Clamp the shield of incoming analog and binary cables to the shield busbar at the entry point
into the cabinet. Continue running the cable, still shielded, to the terminal strip or board. No
shields are connected to the terminal strips or boards.
• Serial connecting cables must be shielded. Place the shield on the metallic connector
housing. Also connect the shield to the shield rail. Do not connect the cable shield to a ground
pin of the connector.
• The connector housing and front plate of the boards do not provide adequate cable shielding.
Connect the cable shields at both ends to the shield rails in the cabinets. Always use shielded
analog signal cables, regardless of whether they are installed inside or outside cabinets. In
order to increase the effectiveness of the shielding, ground spare conductors at both ends.

6.8 Connecting the auxiliary voltage
You should only use the pre-assembled cable sets supplied. These cable sets are marked at both
cable ends with the precise designation of the connection point at which you must connect or
plug in the cable.
Note
For more information, see the interconnection diagram in the circuit manual.
Please proceed as follows:

1. Connect the signal and power supply cables.
2. Connect the shield and secure the cable. You can find further information on this in the
“Electromagnetic compatibility" section.
3. Seal the cable routing according to the degree of protection required.

NOTICE
Thermal destruction of the power cable
Cables that have not been properly secured at the connection point, represent a high electrical
transition resistance, which can result in thermal destruction.
• Tighten the screws with the specified torques (Page 115).
NOTICE
Damage to the power cable/connecting busbars as a result of high temperatures
In operation, the temperatures of the connecting busbars and power cables increase very
significantly. The connecting busbars to connect the power cables are designed for
temperatures up to 100 °C. If unsuitable power cables are connected, then the power cable and/
or its insulation can be damaged. Cable temperatures exceeding 100 °C can damage the
connecting busbars. This can result in damage in the converter.
• Only use a power cable that has conductor or cable insulation that is rated for > 85 °C.
• To protect the connecting busbars, the temperature of the power cable must not exceed
100 °C.

view/26233208)

Operation 8
8.1 Safety instructions for operation
Electric shock caused by a high voltages

High voltages are present both during operation and also after the device has been switched
off. Touching live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure that no voltage is present when the doors of the power unit are open.
• Do not open the doors during operation.
Danger when operating the converter that has a fault condition

Operating a converter where a fault has been identified can result in death, severe injury and
significant material damage.
• Strictly observe all fault and alarm messages.
• Rectify the fault cause. Only switch on the converter again after the cause of fault has been
fully rectified. You can find further information on alarms and faults in the section "Indicating
and rectifying faults."
• If it is not possible to simply rectify a fault, inform the manufacturer's service personnel
immediately. For additional information, see the "Service & Support" chapter.
Danger when operating the drive without removing the cause of the fault
Some faults, e.g. overcurrent can be acknowledged without having to remove the fault.
Operating a converter where a fault has been identified can result in death, severe injury and
significant material damage.
• Strictly observe all fault and alarm messages.
• Rectify the fault cause. Only switch on the converter again after the cause of fault has been
fully rectified. You can find further information on alarms and faults in the section "Indicating
and rectifying faults."
• If it is not possible to simply rectify a fault, inform the manufacturer's service personnel
immediately. For additional information, see the "Service & Support" chapter.

Operation
8.3 Functions
Danger when operating with ground fault

The type and location of the fault cannot be established just from a ground fault error message.
For example, the glow discharge at the winding overhang of the machine may result in a fault
signal. In the event of continued operation, serious follow-on faults up to electric arcs are
possible. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• Immediately switch off the device if a ground fault occurs during operation. Then identify and
eliminate the source of the ground fault.
• The company operating the plant or system is responsible for the consequences when the
device is still operated after a ground fault has been identified. Carry out a risk analysis.
Danger when the permissible short-circuit currents are exceeded

Serious follow-on faults are possible, if the specified short-circuit current values are exceeded.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• Observe the maximum permitted short-circuit current.
• Observe the specified maximum short-circuit times.
Damage caused by incorrect parameter assignment

Malfunctions can occur if you change parameters.
• Do not change the parameters, e.g. for the motor circuit-breaker.
8.2 Operating the converter

Only trained personnel may operate the converter.
8.3 Functions
Note
To complement these operating instructions, the List Manual contains an overview of all
parameters as well as a selection of function diagrams to describe the operating principle.
8.3.1 Monitoring functions and protective functions
The drive features hardware and software functions that protect it against faults and damage
caused by impermissible operating statuses or hardware malfunctions. The monitoring
elements provide internal microprocessor-controlled monitoring and remote device monitoring.

Operation
8.3 Functions
8.3.1.1 Insulation monitoring
The drive is operated in an ungrounded IT supply system. This means that the drive can continue
to operate if just one ground fault occurs.
Note
A second ground fault causes the drive to fail.
For safety reasons, it is necessary to detect such ground faults, in order to eliminate the risk of
electric shock on the drive. This is the reason why the drive is equipped with insulation
monitoring (A-Isometer) that continually monitors the insulation state of the drive including
that of the motor.
Only one A-Isometer can be connected to each live connected IT system. The A-Isometer adjusts
monitoring in line with the line discharge capacitance. The A-Isometer is connected between the
ungrounded line supply and the equipotential bonding conductor (PE).
For the duration of testing, disconnect the instrument cables of the A-Isometer when
performing any insulation or voltage testing on the power system.
Self-test
The A-Isometer performs an automatic self-test under the following conditions:
• When the insulation resistance of the line supply > 20 MΏ
• Every 24 hours when an output relay for the system error message has been preselected.
Terminal monitoring
The connections to mains and ground (PE) are monitored continuously. If the cables are
interrupted or not connected, or if their resistance is high, this is indicated on the LCD. In this
case, please check the terminal conductors immediately, as the insulation resistance is not being
measured properly.
The insulation resistance can be > 20 MΏ in new or small IT systems. To suppress the message,
disable the connection monitoring in Setup2. The A-Isometer monitors the insulation resistance
of the drive.
The following limit values are monitored:
• Limit value 1: Insulation resistance < 500 kΩ = Signal 1 (alarm)
• Limit value 2: Insulation resistance < 100 kΩ = Signal 2 (fault)
The signals are issued to STARTER and output on the operator panel. Further information about
the wiring is contained in the circuit manual.

Operation
8.3 Functions
8.3.1.2 Tripping of the circuit-breaker in case of undervoltage

If a serious fault occurs (e.g. overload in the DC link), the drive is immediately disconnected from
the power supply using the safety shutdown function.
WARNING
Danger to life as a result of residual voltages at the output terminals
This function cannot ensure that the drive stops immediately, nor can it ensure that residual
voltages do not still exist at the output terminals and within the device itself.
High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are not observed or if the
equipment is handled incorrectly.
• Always carefully observe the "five safety rules (Page 15)".
The shutdown of the circuit-breaker is triggered by a safety contactor combination.

The plant-side circuit-breaker must be equipped with an undervoltage trip to ensure the wire-
break protection for the circuit-breaker OFF command. If a circuit-breaker OFF command is
issued as a result of an overvoltage trip, the circuit-breaker is switched off so that it is fail-safe.
8.3.1.3 Automatic restart

After the power fails and returns, the drive is automatically switched on again, irrespective of the
length of the power failure. Alarms are acknowledged automatically and the drive is restarted.
Prerequisites
The following general conditions must be satisfied in order that the drive can be switched on:
• The auxiliary supplies must not fail.
• The power supply for the fans, coolant pumps, and the open-loop/closed-loop controllers
must be maintained.
If the main infeed fails, the pulse block is initiated. The DC link is supported for a short time using
the precharge.
Starting the drive from standstill

This function is suitable for drives with low moments of inertia and load torques that allow the
drive to come to standstill within seconds, e.g. pump drives with a head of water.
Starting the drive with the "flying restart" function

This function can also be activated as follows: The function is suitable for drives with high inertia
loads (e.g. fan drives). This function can be used to switch the drive to the motor that is still
rotating.

Operation
8.4 Fault and system messages
Failure of the auxiliary supply

If the main infeed fails, the following possibilities are available:
• The input-side circuit breaker is still closed.
When the medium-voltage supply system has been restored, the DC-link voltage increases.
This increase is detected by the closed-loop and open-loop controllers.
When a threshold value is exceeded, operation is resumed.
• The input-side circuit breaker has tripped.
After a fixed, definable time, the circuit breaker receives a "CLOSE" command.
The system then checks the DC link voltage.
The device is switched off if the DC link voltage continues to decrease.
If the DC-link voltage increases, operation is resumed when a threshold value is exceeded.
Note
Restricted drive operation when operated via the operator panel in the LOCAL mode
The automatic restart function cannot be used in conjunction with the operator panel in the
LOCAL mode.
When operated in the LOCAL mode, the operator panel withdraws the "ON" command to the
circuit breaker if fault OFF1, OFF2 or OFF3 is active.
8.4.1 Indicating and rectifying faults
The drive provides many protection functions. These protection functions protect the drive
against damage in a fault situation. A distinction is made between the following messages:
• Fault
A fault is a message from the drive indicating a fault or other exceptional (unwanted) state.
The cause can be a fault in the drive itself or also an external fault. This fault, for example,
could have been issued by the winding temperature monitoring of the asynchronous motor.
The faults are displayed and can be reported to a higher-level control system. Once you have
eliminated the cause of the fault, you must acknowledge the fault message.
• Alarm
An alarm is the response to a fault condition identified by the drive, that does not result in the
drive being shutdown. Alarms acknowledge themselves. If the cause is no longer present,
the alarms reset themselves automatically.
The converter indicates a fault by displaying the corresponding fault and/or alarm on the
operator panel.

Operation
Faults are displayed as follows:

• By illuminating the red LED "FAULT"
Additionally, a note relating to the cause of the alarm is displayed in the status bar of the
operator panel.
Press the <F1> "Help " key function to call up information about the cause and remedial
measures. Press the <F5> "Quitt." key to acknowledge a stored fault.
Alarms are indicated as follows:
• The yellow LED "Alarm" flashes
Additionally, a note relating to the cause of the alarm is displayed in the status bar of the
operator panel.
Every fault and alarm is entered in the fault/alarm buffer along with time the fault occurred. The
time stamp refers to the relative system time in milliseconds (r0969).

9.1 Safety instructions for maintenance
Danger due to improper maintenance and repairs

Improper repairs can result in death and serious physical injury.
• Only qualified maintenance and installation personnel may perform repairs.

damage.
Electric shock caused by externally connected high voltages

Magnetizing and demagnetizing equipment that is fed from an external voltage source can
result in high voltages. This voltage can result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure that no voltage from external feeds exists before commencing maintenance and
repair work.
Danger to life as a result of a hazardous voltage at the anti-condensation heating

The anti-condensation heating system is used when the device is switched off during non-
operational periods or when maintenance work is being carried out. For this reason, the heating
is supplied with voltage from a separate line supply. When the power supply voltage for the anti-
condensation heating is connected – also for an EMERGENCY OFF or when the main switch is
open – a hazardous voltage is still present. This voltage can cause serious injury.

Maintenance
9.1 Safety instructions for maintenance
Risk of burns due to hot anti-condensation heating surface

When the temperature control limit value is reached the anti-condensation heating is switched
on. Once activated, the anti-condensation heating can generate a great deal of heat. Contact
can result in serious injury, such as skin burns.
• Ensure that the anti-condensation heating cannot be touched.
• Ensure that the anti-condensation heating is switched off before carrying out any repair or
maintenance work.
Injury when falling

There is a risk of falling if you step on the cover of the anti-condensation heating. This can result
in injury.
• Do not use the anti-condensation heating system to help you get to the top of the cabinet.
Damage due to non-authorized spare parts

Using non-approved spare parts can affect the function of the equipment and damage it. Third-
party spare parts and unapproved spare parts may not meet the requirements.
• Only use spare parts that have been approved by the manufacturer.
Damage caused by foreign bodies

If foreign bodies are left in the device after installation and maintenance work, this can cause
damage when the device is switched on.
• Before switching on, check as to whether there are any foreign bodies in the device. Remove
any foreign bodies.
Damage due to contamination and dirt

Contamination and dirt can damage the device.
• Visually inspect the equipment at least once per year. For more information, please refer to
the section "Visual inspections".
• Dust deposits inside the cabinet unit must be removed at regular intervals (or at least once
a year) by qualified personnel in line with the relevant safety regulations.
Note
The actual intervals at which maintenance procedures are to be performed depend on the
environmental and operating conditions. Define maintenance intervals that reflect your plant-
specific environmental and operating conditions and meet your availability requirements. When
doing so, take the prescribed maintenance intervals into consideration, as well as the
instructions for repairing and replacing installed components.

9.3 Opening the doors
The drive is equipped with a door interlocking system. Depending on the design, this is an
electromechanical door interlocking system or optionally a safety locking system.
The doors for the Control Module can be opened for monitoring purposes during operation.
WARNING
Danger to life although the door interlocking has been released
Even when the door interlocking is released, high voltages can still be present at the auxiliary
circuits (fans, anti-condensation heating, closed-loop control, etc.). Touching live components
can result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure that work is only carried out by qualified personnel.
• The five safety rules must be observed.
The doors cannot be opened until the following conditions are fulfilled:
• The converter is ready to switch on, or in the "switching on inhibited" state, no ON command
is active.
• The circuit breaker is open (feedback signal, "circuit-breaker OPEN").

Maintenance
9.4 Inspection and maintenance
• The "zero voltage criterion" in the DC link is fulfilled.

• The "zero voltage criterion" at the phase connection is fulfilled.
• None of the cell controls supplies status information.
The cell electronics no longer operate below a cell voltage of 200 V. As a consequence, status
information is no longer transferred to the control.
• The cell electronics no longer functions.
Up to the residual discharge (<5 V), the system waits for 5x the time constant of the discharge
resistor and cell capacitor. For the components being used, this results in a time constant of
at least 14 minutes.
WARNING
Danger to life even after shutdown
After shutdown, high voltages are present at the drive and its components. Furthermore, if the
connection to the machine or the line supply is not disconnected and grounded, these voltages
can persist. Touching live components can result in death or serious injury.
• Never force the doors open during operation or while the DC link capacitors are being
discharged.
• The five safety rules (Page 15) must be observed.
If the auxiliary voltage fails, you can only unlock the doors manually. To unlock the doors,
proceed as described in the chapter titled "Preparation for use".

that the dirt is not distributed, but actually removed by constant changes of the wiping surface
of the cloth. For significant levels of pollution and dirt, use an ESD cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol
(however, not so much that it drips from the cloth).

Maintenance
9.4.3.2 Cleaning aluminum parts

The surface of untreated aluminum is always covered by a thin but dense oxide skin. This natural
oxide layer acts as surface protection and is the reason for the good weathering resistance of
aluminum materials. In most cases, this means that additional protective measures are
superfluous.
• Remove greasy layers using ethyl alcohol.
• If there are other very dirty areas, use ESD-compliant fiber or plastic brushes for cleaning.
NOTICE
Corrosion damage caused by unsuitable cleaning agents and cleaning instruments
Using unsuitable cleaning chemical agents and cleaning instruments may transfer metallic,
corrosion-inducing impurities onto the aluminum. This can result in corrosion damage.

9.5.8.1 Discharging the snubber circuit capacitor
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock at the snubber circuit capacitors
The snubber circuit capacitors are not always equipped with discharge resistors. The energy
stored in the capacitors is discharged via a diode. Voltages of up to several 1000 V can occur and
cause an electric shock. This can result in death, severe injuries and significant material
damage.
• You should always handle the capacitors as if they are charged.
• Discharge the snubber circuit capacitors. Short-circuit the snubber circuit capacitors briefly
before you withdraw the diode stack.
