The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy and
(through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout their long
working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product
manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they can very easily be dismantled into their
major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated without the use of tools,
while other parts are secured with conventional screws. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller
products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these
containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product, can be recycled in the
same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy favours easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and
regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best practice.

1 Safety Information
1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of
the product.
1.2 Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
1.3 System design and safety of
personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into
complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may
present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored
electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause
injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system
design to avoid hazards either in normal operation or in the event of
equipment malfunction. System design, installation, commissioning and
maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary
training and experience. They must read this safety information and this
guide carefully.
The STOP and SECURE DISABLE functions of the drive do not isolate
dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external
option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical
isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
None of the drive functions must be used to ensure safety of
personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which
might result in a hazard, either through their intended behaviour or
through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application where a
malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow
damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an
over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a
fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and
use of the drive must be complied with, including the specified
environmental limits. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical
force.
1.5 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses or other protection, and protective earth (ground) connections.
This guide contains instruction for achieving compliance with specific
EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used
must comply with the following directives:
98/37/EC: Safety of machinery.
89/336/EEC: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
1.6 Special note on SECURE DISABLE/
ENABLE function in regen operation
In regen operation the enable input of the Regen drive stage has no
safety functions. It only enables the active rectifier operation. It does not
disable any operation of the motoring drive(s) and it does not prevent the
regen stage from producing DC power.
The enable input of the motoring drive stage can be used for safety
functions if required. Consult the Unidrive SP User Guide for information
on SECURE DISABLE.
1.7 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.
A Warning contains information which is essential for
avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.

Unidrive SP Regen Installation Guide 7
Issue Number: 2 www.controltechniques.com
2 Introduction
The following installation guide should be read in conjunction with the
Unidrive SP User Guide.
Any Unidrive SP drive can be configured as an AC Regenerative Unit
(hereafter referred to as a Regen drive).
This guide covers the following:
• Principles and advantages of operation in regen mode
• Safety information
• EMC information
• Detailed information on additional components required
• System design
• Special considerations
• Installation
• Commissioning and optimisation of the completed system
At least two Unidrive SP drives are required to form a complete
regenerative system - one connected to the supply and the second one
connected to the motor. A Unidrive SP in regen mode converts the AC
mains supply to a controlled DC voltage, which is then fed into another
drive(s) to control a motor(s).
The motoring drive(s) in a regen configuration could be another drive
other than a Unidrive SP, e.g. Unidrive classic or Commander SK etc.
The following regen components are also required in addition to the
Unidrive SP drives.
1. Regen inductor
2. Switching frequency filter inductor
3. Switching frequency filter capacitor
4. Softstart resistor
5. Varistors
6. MCBs
7. Overload relays
2.1 Regen operation
For use as a regenerative front end for four quadrant operation.
Regen operation allows bi-directional power flow to and from the AC
supply. This provides far greater efficiency levels in applications which
would otherwise dissipate large amounts of energy in the form of heat in
a braking resistor.
The harmonic content of the input current is negligible due to the
sinusoidal nature of the waveform when compared to a conventional
bridge rectifier or thyristor front end.
2.2 Advantages of Unidrive SP operating
in regen mode
The main advantages of an AC Regen system are:
• Energy saving
• The input current waveform is sinusoidal
• The input current has a near unity power factor
• Power factor correction can be implemented using Pr 4.08
• The output voltage for the motor can be higher than the available AC
mains supply.
• The Regen drive will synchronise to any frequency between 30 and
100Hz, provided the supply voltage is within the supply requirements
(operating frequency range of 48Hz to 65Hz)
• Under conditions of AC mains instability, a Unidrive SP Regen
system can continue to operate down to approximately 75Vac (200V
product) 150Vac (400V product) 225Vac (575V and 690V product)
supply voltage without any effect on the DC bus voltage and hence
on the operation of the motoring drives (increased current will be
taken from the AC supply during this condition to compensate up to
the current limit of the Regen drive)
• Transient operation is possible between 40 and 72Hz down to the
above supply voltage levels for approximately 1 second.
• The Regen and motoring drives are identical (when using Unidrive
SP).
• Power feed-forward term available, using analogue I/O set-up
• A fast transient response is possible using the power feed forward
term.
2.3 Principles of operation
The input stage of a non-regenerative AC drive is usually an
uncontrolled diode rectifier, therefore power cannot be fed back onto the
AC mains supply. By replacing the diode input rectifier with a voltage
source PWM input converter (Unidrive SP), AC supply power flow can
be bi-directional with full control over the input current waveform and
power factor. Currents can now be controlled to give near unity power
factor and a low level of line frequency harmonics.
In the case of a Unidrive SP operating in regenerative mode, the IGBT
stage is used as a sinusoidal rectifier converting the AC supply to a
controlled DC voltage.
Furthermore, by maintaining the DC bus voltage above the peak supply
voltage the load motor can be operated at a higher speed without field
weakening. Alternatively, the higher output voltage available can be
exploited by using a motor with a rated voltage higher than the AC mains
supply, thus reducing the current for a given power.
Regen inductors must be used to ensure a minimum source impedance,
these being selected and specified later in the guide.
The difference between the PWM line voltage and the supply voltage
occurs across the regen inductors at the Regen drive. This voltage has a
high frequency component, which is blocked by the regen inductor, and
a sinusoidal component at line frequency. As a result currents flowing in
these inductors are sinusoidal with a small high frequency ripple
component.

2.4 Power flow
The following phasor diagram illustrates the relationship between the
supply voltage and the Regen drive voltage. The angle between the two
voltage vectors is approximately 5° at full load, this results in a near unity
power factor of 0.996.
Figure 2-1
The direction of the power flow can be changed relative to the supply
voltage, by making small changes to the Regen drives output voltage
and phase.
2.5 Synchronisation
The synchronisation of the Regen drive to the supply does not require
additional hardware. The space vector modulator within the Regen drive
represents the angle and magnitude of the AC supply at all times. This
however is not the case when the AC supply is first connected or when
the Regen drive is disabled.
Unless some form of synchronisation is carried out the current
controllers will start with values of zero resulting in zero volts being
applied to the inverter output terminals. The phase locked loop (PLL)
would also start with zero and so would not lock onto the supply.
To overcome these problems the following information must be obtained
before the Regen drive attempts to start:
1. The mains supply voltage vector magnitude
2. The angle of the supply voltage vector
3. The frequency of the supply
These values are obtained by carrying out a synchronisation on enable
• The first stage of the pre-start tests is to measure the initial DC Bus
voltage, which is assumed to be equal to the peak line-to-line
voltage of the supply.
• The second stage of the pre-start test is to apply two short pulses of
zero volts at the converter input. These pulses must be short enough
so that the peak current is less than the over current trip level of the
converter. The time between the pulses must also be long enough
so that the current built up in the input inductors during the first pulse
has decayed to a low level before the second pulse is applied.
These are used to calculate the instantaneous angle of the supply
voltage vector during the first test pulse. The second test pulse is
then applied at time Td later to allow the supply frequency to be
calculated.
At this stage the supply inductance is also calculated
• Once the synchronization is complete the phase locked loop (PLL) is
set-up. At this point the whole control system could be started and
should operate without any large transients.
• To improve the robustness of the start-up phase a further short test
pulse voltage vector, with the same magnitude and phase as the
estimated supply voltage vector is applied. This is to detect
measurement errors that could have occurred because of supply
distortion present during the pre-start tests.
2.6 Current trimming
A current feedback trimming routine runs before the drive is enabled to
minimise offsets in the current feedback. This feature can be user
configured, for more details refer to section 8.5 Current trimming on
page 91.
2.7 Regen system configurations
The Regen drive has been designed to provide a regulated DC supply to
other motoring drives. The Regen drive gives bi-directional power flow
with sinusoidal currents and a near unity power factor.
Following are the possible configurations for Unidrive SP Regen:
• Single Regen, single or multiple motoring (Figure 4-1 on page 32)
• Single Regen, multiple motoring using a Unidrive SPMC (Figure 4-
2 on page 34)
• Single Regen, multiple motoring using an external charging resistor
(Figure 4-3 on page 36)
• Multiple Regen, multiple motoring using a Unidrive SPMC (Figure 4-
4 on page 38)
Refer to Table 3-2 on page 14, for the Regen drive ratings.
The sizing of a regen system must take into account the following
factors:
• Line voltage
• Motor rated current, rated voltage and power factor
• Maximum load power and overload conditions
In general, when designing a regen system, equal Regen and motoring
drive rated currents will work correctly. However, care must be taken to
ensure that under worst case supply conditions the Regen drive is able
to supply or absorb all the required power. In multi-drive configurations,
the Regen drive must be of a sufficient size to supply the net peak power
demanded by the combined load of all the motoring drives and total
system losses.
If the Regen drive is unable to supply the full power required by the
motoring drive, the DC bus voltage will drop and in severe cases may
lose synchronisation with the mains and trip. If the Regen drive is unable
to regenerate the full power from the motoring drive on the DC bus, then
the Regen and motoring drive(s) will trip on over-voltage.

2.8 Regen drive system types
2.8.1 Single Regen, single motoring system
Figure 2-2 shows a typical layout for a standard regen system consisting of a single Regen drive and single motoring drive. In this configuration the
Regen drive is supplying the motoring drive and passing the regenerative energy back to the mains supply.
The power up connections to L1, L2, L3 of the Regen drive are only made during power-up. Once both drives are powered up, this is switched out
and the main regen supply switched in. The auxiliary on the charging circuit to the Regen drive’s L1, L2, L3 connections for power up must be closed
(charging supply removed) before the Regen drive can be enabled.
Figure 2-2 Single Regen, single motoring system
For the above single Regen, single motoring configuration; the Regen drive must be of the same frame size or larger.
2.8.2 Single Regen, multiple motoring system
Figure 2-4 shows the layout for a regen system consisting of a single Regen drive with multiple motoring drives. In this configuration the Regen drive
is sized to the total power of all motoring drives.
Figure 2-3 Single Regen, multiple motoring system
It is also possible to have a single Regen drive powering multiple motoring drives as shown with the power up connections also being provided via the
Regen drives L1, L2, L3 inputs and using the Regen drives own internal softstart.
In this arrangement the total capacitance of the motoring drives must not exceed the capacitance of the Regen drive, in cases where this does please
contact Technical Support.

2.8.3 Multiple Regen, multiple motoring system
Figure 2-5 shows a multiple regen drive system with multiple motoring drives. For this configuration the regen drives are sized to the total power
requirement of all motoring drives.
For the multiple regen and multiple motoring drives arrangement there are two possible options for the required start-up circuit. This can either consist
of a Unidrive SPMC rectifier module (for example an SPMC 1402 is capable of charging a maximum DC Bus capacitance of 66mF) or an external
charging resistor as detailed in Chapter 4 System design on page 30.
Special care should be taken when designing a multiple regen and multiple motoring drive system ensuring that all the required fusing is in place on
both the common DC Bus connections and the AC supply to all regen drives.

The Unidrive SPMC is a half controlled thyristor bridge is used as a front end to the SPMD inverter module or as a stand alone rectifier for several
smaller drives. Soft-start is built in.
The Unidrive SPMU is used as a front end to the SPMD inverter module or as a stand alone rectifier for several smaller drives. Softstart must be
supplied externally using a resistor and contactor or SPMC.
An external 24V, 3A power supply is required in addition to the AC supply to allow the rectifier to operate. Control wiring is required between the
rectifier and motoring drive(s) so that if the rectifier indicates a fault the motoring drive(s) will be disabled.

The user must provide a means of preventing live parts from
being touched. A cover around the electrical connections at
the top of the inverter and the bottom of the rectifier where the
cables enter is required.
Input fuses as specified must be provided.
The Unidrive SPMC/U depends on the drive for protection.
Status outputs must be linked to the drive enable regen
drive(s) and circuit to ensure that when the rectifier indicates
a fault the motoring drive(s) are disabled.
