ETR
Electronic thermal relay is a thermal load calculation based
on present load and time. Its purpose is to estimate the
motor temperature.
Hiperface®
Hiperface®is a registered trademark by Stegmann.
Initializing
If initializing is carried out (parameter 14-22 Operation
Mode), the frequency converter returns to the default
setting.
Intermittent duty cycle
An intermittent duty rating refers to a sequence of duty
cycles. Each cycle consists of an on-load and an o-load
period. The operation can be either periodic duty or non-
periodic duty.
LCP
The local control panel makes up a complete interface for
control and programming of the frequency converter. The
control panel is detachable and can be installed up to 3 m
(10 ft) from the frequency converter, that is, in a front
panel with the installation kit option.
NLCP
Numerical local control panel interface for control and
programming of the frequency converter. The display is
numerical and the panel is used to show process values.
The NLCP has no storage and copy functions.
lsb
Least signicant bit.
msb
Most signicant bit.
MCM
Short for mille circular mil, an American measuring unit for
cable cross-section. 1 MCM=0.5067 mm2.
Online/oine parameters
Changes to online parameters are activated immediately
after the data value is changed. Press [OK] to activate
changes to o-line parameters.
Process PID
The PID control maintains the required speed, pressure,
temperature, and so on, by adjusting the output frequency
to match the varying load.
PCD
Process control data.
Power cycle
Switch o the mains until display (LCP) is dark – then turn
power on again.
Pulse input/incremental encoder
An external, digital pulse transmitter used for feeding back
information on motor speed. The encoder is used in
applications where great accuracy in speed control is
required.
RCD
Residual current device.
Set-up
Save parameter settings in 4 set-ups. Change between the
4 parameter set-ups and edit 1 set-up, while another set-
up is active.
SFAVM
Switching pattern called stator ux-oriented asynchronous
vector modulation (parameter 14-00 Switching Pattern).
Slip compensation
The frequency converter compensates for the motor slip by
giving the frequency a supplement that follows the
measured motor load keeping the motor speed almost
constant.
SLC
The SLC (smart logic control) is a sequence of user-dened
actions executed when the associated user-dened events
are evaluated as true by the SLC. (See
chapter 3.11 Parameters: 13-** Smart Logic).
STW
Status word.
FC standard bus
Includes RS485 bus with FC protocol or MC protocol. See
parameter 8-30 Protocol.
THD
Total harmonic distortion states the total contribution of
harmonic.
Thermistor
A temperature-dependent resistor placed on the frequency
converter or the motor.
Trip
A state entered in fault situations, for example if the
frequency converter is subject to an overtemperature or
when the frequency converter is protecting the motor,
process, or mechanism. The frequency converter prevents a
restart until the cause of the fault has disappeared. To
cancel the trip state, restart the frequency converter. Do
not use the trip state for personal safety.
Trip lock
The frequency converter enters this state in fault situations
to protect itself. The frequency converter requires physical
intervention, for example when there is a short circuit on
the output. A trip lock can only be canceled by discon-
necting mains, removing the cause of the fault, and
reconnecting the frequency converter. Restart is prevented
until the trip state is canceled by activating reset or,
sometimes, by being programmed to reset automatically.
Do not use the trip lock state for personal safety.
VT characteristics
Variable torque characteristics used for pumps and fans.

VVC+
If compared with standard voltage/frequency ratio control,
voltage vector control (VVC+) improves the dynamics and
the stability, both when the speed reference is changed
and in relation to the load torque.
60°AVM
60°asynchronous vector modulation
(parameter 14-00 Switching Pattern).
Power factor
The power factor is the relation between I1and IRMS.
Powerfactor =  3xUxI1cosϕ
3xUxIRMS
The power factor for 3-phase control:
Powerfactor =  I1xcosϕ1
IRMS
= I1
IRMS
sincecosϕ1 = 1
The power factor indicates to which extent the frequency
converter imposes a load on the mains supply.
The lower the power factor, the higher the IRMS for the
same kW performance.
IRMS =  I1
2+I5 2+I7 2 + .. + In 2
In addition, a high-power factor indicates that the dierent
harmonic currents are low.
The DC coils in the frequency converters produce a high-
power factor, which minimizes the imposed load on the
mains supply.
Target position
The nal target position specied by positioning
commands. The prole generator uses this position to
calculate the speed prole.
Commanded position
The actual position reference calculated by the prole
generator. The frequency converter uses the commanded
position as setpoint for position PI.
Actual position
The actual position from an encoder, or a value that the
motor control calculates in open loop. The frequency
converter uses the actual position as feedback for position
PI.
Position error
Position error is the dierence between the actual position
and the commanded position. The position error is the
input for the position PI controller.
Position unit
The physical unit for position values.
1.2 Safety
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors,
which can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. High voltage can be present
even when the warning indicator lights are o. Failure to
wait the specied time after power has been removed
before performing service or repair work, could result in
death or serious injury.
1. Stop the motor.
2. Disconnect AC mains, permanent magnet type
motors, and remote DC-link power supplies,
including battery back-ups, UPS, and DC-link
connections to other frequency converters.
3. Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully, before
performing any service or repair work. The
duration of waiting time is specied in Table 1.4.

plugs. For information about the discharge time,
see Table 1.4.
•[O] does not disconnect the mains supply and
must not be used as a safety switch.
•Ground the equipment properly, protect the user
against supply voltage, and protect the motor
against overload in accordance with applicable
national and local regulations.
•The ground leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
Ensure correct grounding of the equipment by a
certied electrical installer.
•Do not remove the plugs for the motor and
mains supply while the frequency converter is
connected to mains. Check that the mains supply
has been disconnected and that the necessary
time has elapsed before removing motor and
mains plugs.
•The frequency converter has more voltage
sources than L1, L2, and L3, when load sharing
(linking of DC intermediate circuit) or external 24
V DC is installed. Check that all voltage sources
have been disconnected and that the necessary
time has elapsed before commencing repair work.
For information about the discharge time, see
Table 1.4.
NOTICE
When using the Safe Torque O, always follow the
instructions in VLT
®
Frequency Converters - Safe Torque
O Operating Instructions.
NOTICE
Control signals from, or internally within, the frequency
converter may in rare cases be activated in error, be
delayed, or fail to occur entirely. When used in situations
where safety is critical, for example, when controlling the
electromagnetic brake function of a hoist application,
these control signals must not be relied on exclusively.
NOTICE
Hazardous situations must be identied by the machine
builder/integrator who is responsible for considering the
necessary preventive means. More monitoring and
protective devices may be included, always according to
valid national safety regulations, for example, law on
mechanical tools and regulations for the prevention of
accidents.
Protection mode
Once a hardware limit on motor current or DC-link voltage
is exceeded, the frequency converter enters the protection
mode. Protection mode means a change of the PWM
modulation strategy and a low switching frequency to
minimize losses. This continues for 10 s after the last fault
and increases the reliability and the robustness of the
frequency converter while re-establishing full control of the
motor.
Protection mode can be disabled by setting
parameter 14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault to 0, which
means that the frequency converter trips immediately if 1
of the hardware limits is exceeded.
NOTICE
Disabling protection mode in hoisting applications
(parameter 14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault = 0) is
recommended.

Very long control cables and analog signals may in rare cases, and depending on installation, result in 50/60 Hz ground
loops due to noise from mains supply cables.
If this occurs, it may be necessary to break the shield or insert a 100 nF capacitor between shield and enclosure.
Connect the digital and analog inputs and outputs separately to the common inputs (terminals 20, 55, and 39) of the
frequency converter to avoid ground currents from both groups to aect other groups. For example, switching on the
digital input may disturb the analog input signal.
