Operation principle

Operation principle
What this chapter contains
The chapter describes the operation of the du/dt filter and the intended use.
Operation principle
The drive employs modern IGBT inverter technology. Regardless of frequency, the
drive output comprises pulses of approximately the drive DC bus voltage with a very
short rise time. The pulse voltage can almost double at the motor terminals,
depending on the attenuation and reflection properties of the motor cable and the
terminals. This can cause additional stress on the motor and motor cable insulation.
Modern variable speed drives with their fast rising voltage pulses and high switching
frequencies can generate current pulses that flow through the motor bearings, which
can gradually erode the bearing races and rolling elements.
The common mode filters mainly reduce bearing currents. The du/dt filters also
protect the motor insulation system.
To avoid damage to motor bearings and insulation system:
• Select and install the cables according to the instructions given in the hardware
manual.
• Check if the installation needs to be equipped with additional protection
equipment, such as insulated N-end bearings in the motor, or the drive output
filters. The requirements are specified in the drive Hardware manual. See chapter
Planning the electrical installation, section Selecting the motor, and chapter du/dt
filter.

Graphs illustrating the effect of the du/dt filter
The graphs show the peak line-to-line voltage (ÛLL
) and voltage change (du/dt) at
the motor terminals as a function of the motor cable length.
ÛLL and du/dt are scaled
to the nominal line-to-line voltage
(UN ). To calculate the actual peak voltage value in
volts and du/dt value in volts per microsecond, multiply the values of the graph by
the supply voltage
(UN ).
The values in the first graph are measured with an ABB du/dt filter while the second
graph without any output filtering. The values in the second graph are only
representative. The actual unfiltered du/dt values depend on the drive type, and are
usually in the range of 1 to 5 kV/microsecond.
In case of drives with an IGBT supply unit or resistor braking, the ÛLL and du/dt
values are approximately 20% higher.
The voltage rise time can be calculated as follows: t = 0.8 · ÛLL/(du/dt).

Selecting the du/dt filter
What this chapter contains
The chapter instructs in selecting a du/dt filter for your drive.
Filter selection procedure
1) For the ACS800 drives, the data can be found either from the appropriate Technical catalog or
Hardware manual. The PDF files are available at www.abb.com/drives.
Applicability checks of the pre-selected filter
Long or several parallel motor cables, or special cable types may cause excessive
temperature rise in the filter. Therefore, check that the pre-selected filter fulfils these
general requirements valid for every installation:
• The motor cable length does not exceed the maximum allowed length. The
maximum length is given in the Hardware manual of the drive. For some filter
types the length is still restricted independent on the drive type. Check the
maximum values in section General notes and restrictions starting from page 11.
• The energy loss in the du/dt filter does not exceed the maximum heat dissipation
capacity of the filter (Emax) given in subsection Maximum current and heat
dissipation capacity of the filter below. The energy loss is calculated as follows:
E= ½ · C · (Udc)2where
• The current through the filter does not exceed the maximum value given in
subsection Maximum current and heat dissipation capacity of the filter below.
Step What to do More information
1. Check whether a du/dt filter
is needed in the installation. The requirements are specified in the drive Hardware manual. See chapter Planning the electrical installation,
section Selecting the motor, and chapter du/dt filter.1)
2. Pre-select a filter according
to the drive type. Filter selection tables are in the drive Hardware manual.1) The pre-selected filter is suitable for most applications.
3. Check that the pre-selected
filter is suitable for your
application.
Section Applicability checks of the pre-selected filter below.
If the checks are passed, use the pre-selected filter. If any of
the conditions is not met, choose a bigger filter, use two
filters in series or change the motor cabling.
E energy loss in the du/dt filter
C total capacitance of the motor cable(s), i.e. the product of the capacitance/length value
given in the cable catalogue and the length of the motor cable. In case of parallel motor
cables, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual cable capacitance.

Installation
What this chapter contains
This chapter contains general note and restrictions to be considered in the
installation, and shows the connections diagrams.
General notes and restrictions
WARNING! Do not attempt any work on a powered drive. After switching off the
mains, always allow the intermediate circuit capacitors 5 minutes to discharge before
working on the frequency converter, the motor or the motor cable. Check (with a
voltage indicating instrument) that the drive is in fact discharged before beginning
work.
• Encase the non-enclosed (IP00) filters to meet the safety requirements (for
cabinet installation solely).
• Beware of hot surfaces. The surface of the IP22/IP54 filter housing can reach a
temperature up to 40 °C higher than the ambient temperature.
• Use shielded cable between enclosures.
• Mount the filter on a mounting structure that is of non-flammable material and
strong enough to carry the weight of the filter.
• Ground the filter to the protective earth (PE) terminal of the cabinet. No separate
grounding conductor is needed if there is proper galvanic connection through the
filter fixing screws and the mounting plate.
•Maximum allowed drive output frequency: 120 Hz
•Maximum allowed average switching frequency:
3 kHz (converter units with supply voltage < 500 V) or
2 kHz (converter units with supply voltage > 500 V)
Change the switching frequency with a drive parameter. If there is no such
parameter in the drive sw, apply the settings to be used with long motor cables.
For example, for the ACS850 drive, set parameter 40.01 Motor noise to value
Default.
•Maximum cable length between the drive output and the filter: 3 m
•Maximum motor cable length for AOCH0xxx-70 filters: 300 m (cumulative for
several parallel-connected motors)

Installation
12
•Maximum motor cable length for NOCH0xxx-6x filters (cumulative for several
parallel-connected motors):
• The filters cool by natural convection. The air space above the filter is hot (up to
70 °C (158 °F) depending on the installation and operating conditions). Take this
into account in the cabinet design.
• The following free space requirements apply for the AOCH0xxx-70 filters:
150 mm free space on each free side. Exception: 500 mm above the filter if
installed below the drive. Exception: 50 mm between the single phase filters
which are connected to the same drive.
If filters are mounted on top of each other with single drive types 0320-5,
0610-5 and 0610-7, the filters need a minimum of 700 m3/h of forced cooling.
Maximum of three filters can be mounted on top of each other.
