3.1 Product Characteristics
The VACON® 1000 medium-voltage drive is an alternating current speed regulating device from Danfoss. The drive features include
excellent performance, easy and convenient operation, and a wide range of applications using IGBT power devices and complete
digital control.
High efficiency and low distortion
• The used multi-pulse input rectification transformer technology efficiently lowers the content of the input side distortion cur-
rent to less than 5%. It meets the IEEE 519-1992 standard and the strict requirements of electric grids for distortion, and enhan-
ces the power factor to more than 0.96 lagging.
• With the used cell-cascaded multilevel technology, there is normally no need for an output filter, and the output voltage wave-
form is similar to a sine-wave.
• System efficiency >98.5% (at rated frequency, excluding transformer).
Tolerant to power disturbances and wide applicable scope
• When the input voltage is as low as 70%, the system can still continue derated operation.
• With automatic output voltage adjusting function, when the input voltage fluctuates between 90–110%, the output voltage
can still be kept steady. Thus, safe and steady operation of the motor is possible.
High reliability
• SOA (Service-oriented architecture) design ensures that the system operates in a wide safe range:
- Sufficient design margin makes sure that each device operates in the middle area of the safe operating area.
- Optimized thermal design ensures temperature margin for the devices.
- The DC-link capacitors are designed for long lifetime service.
• Redundant auxiliary control power.
• The system provides a self-diagnosis function to show the position and type of failure and warn the user about the fault occur-
rence.
• Automatic detection and warning function for cooling fan failure or excessive dust in the inlet air filter notifying the user to
conduct maintenance.
• Production quality management, control of the process flow, and perfect test equipment and methods ensure the effective im-
plementation of each test item for devices, components, and units during the manufacturing process at Danfoss.
Site flexibility
• The compact structure and high power density of VACON® 1000 can reduce the space requirements on site.
• The electric connections between the cabinets use highly reliable connectors which are easy to install and maintain.

3.3.3 Transformer Cabinet

The transformer cabinet includes the phase-shift transformer and its accessories.
The transformer is integrated with the cabinet base through screws for the convenience of transportation and installation. The sys-
tem default setting is that, when the transformer temperature exceeds 95 °C (203 °F), the system reports an excessive high tempera-
ture alarm but does not shut down. When the temperature exceeds 110 °C (230 °F), the system reports an extra-high temperature
fault and shuts down.
In standalone systems, the same fan is used to cool the transformer and power cell cabinets.

3.3.4 Junction Cabinet

The junction cabinet is used for field cable connections. See 6.5 Cable Entry and Termination.

3.3.5 Start-up Cabinet

The start-up cabinet (+PSTC) is an option for the VACON® 1000 line-up systems. The start-up cabinet is used to magnetize the trans-
former and to charge the DC-link capacitors of the power cells with lower current, avoiding the tripping of the primary protection
(fuse or circuit breaker), or physical damage to the power components. The main function of the start-up cabinet is to depress in-
rush currents that can lead to a dip in the supply voltage:
• A phase-shifting transformer with a large capacity can produce a magnetizing surge as high as 6–8 times the rated current of
the transformer itself.
• The power cells of the drive contain several capacitors, which require a large precharge current when high voltage is applied.

Install the start-up cabinet between the high-voltage power input and phase-shifting transformer. When the MCB of the drive is
closed, the start-up cabinet limits the magnetizing surge and charge current of the capacitance quickly and efficiently. After the
drive is powered up, the current passes through the KM51/QF51 bypass, and the drive can function normally.

4 Vacuum circuit breaker 8 Bottom entry for cabling

The main electrical components of the start-up cabinet are a high-voltage switch and a current-limiting resistor.
The function of current-limiting resistance is to limit the primary current when a high voltage is connected. Each resistor can bear a
30 kJ energy during the power-up. The capacity of the drive defines how much resistance is needed in the start-up cabinet: the
larger the capacity, the more current-limiting resistors are needed.
The function of the high-voltage switch is to bypass the current-limiting resistor after the powering-up procedure, making the drive
function under normal load. The high-voltage switch is a vacuum contactor or vacuum circuit breaker, depending on the nominal
output current of the drive:
• 0 ＜ IN ≤266 A: Vacuum contactor (12 kV, 400 A)
• 266 ＜ IN ≤438 A: Vacuum contactor (12 kV, 630 A)
• 438 < IN ≤ 680 A: Vacuum circuit breaker (12 kV, 1250 A)
Operation process
• Power up the drive.
• The control program confirms if the system is ready and if the cabinet switch is separated or not.
• Power up the start-up cabinet and the control program counts the time it takes to complete the process. The process requires
about 5 s.
• The closing of the start-up cabinet switch bypasses the charged resistor and the drive has status 'running allowed'.
When to select the Start-up cabinet option?
The MCB protection at the installation site must not trip because of the inrush current when the drive is powered up or in normal
overload conditions. The overcurrent protection of the MCB must be set in the grey area shown in Illustration 14.
If the MCB meets these requirements, the start-up cabinet is not required. It is important to verify this condition, especially in retrofit
applications where a circuit breaker is already installed at the motor control center panel.
Even if it is not required, a start-up cabinet can still be installed to:
• Reduce inrush current.
• Reduce stresses in the electrical installation during the drive power-up operation.

When to select the Output Filter cabinet option?

The need for an output filter is application and case specific. Several things must be considered to find out if a dU/dt Filter is re-
quired:
• The type of the motor
• The type of the motor cable
• The length of the motor cable
• Specific environmental conditions, for example, explosive atmosphere
To evaluate if a dU/dt Filter is required, contact Danfoss.

3.3.7 Bypass Cabinet

The function of the bypass cabinet is to connect the motor directly to the grid if the AC drive fails or the application does not require
speed regulation. The goal is to minimize the unnecessary interruption of the production process, and to ensure the continuity of
production and improve the reliability of the system.
The bypass cabinet switches between two operation modes:
• Variable frequency operation, where the AC drive operates the motor.
• Power frequency operation, where the drive is bypassed, and the motor is connected directly to the grid.
Different bypass cabinets are available as options:
• Manual bypass cabinet
• Automatic bypass cabinet
• Synchronous transfer cabinet

3.3.7.1 Manual Bypass Cabinet

When the system can be shut down for a short time, the manual bypass cabinet can be used. Illustration 17 shows a typical bypass
cabinet configuration, where:

quency conversion operation.

Control and operation principle

KM42 (QF42) and KM43 (QF43) are interlocked to ensure that grid power is not directly supplied to the output of the drive, ensuring
the safety of the drive equipment. The electromagnetic lock of the isolation switch is interlocked with KM41 (QF41) and KM42
(QF42). When KM41 (QF41) and KM42 (QF42) are closed, the isolation switch is locked. To prevent the operation of the isolation
switch under live condition, the door to the isolation switch is locked.
The cabinet door has the ON/OFF button and status indicator of the medium voltage switch. The ON/OFF button is interlocked with
the Variable Frequency Operation signal and the high voltage alive display locking signal. When the system is running at high volt-
age or is in variable frequency operation, to prevent misoperation, the ON/OFF button is not functional.
The cabinet door has the Mode switch SF41. When the switch is in the "Enable" position, the drive is allowed to switch to the power
frequency bypass operation when the switching command is issued through HMI or DCS. When the switch is in the "Disable" posi-
tion, the switching command is invalid. If the drive fails, switching to power frequency bypass operation is not allowed. If the system
has a fault, the system trips.
In the automatic bypass function, the drive controls the switching action. When the system has a fault or receives the switching
command from DCS or HMI, the control system automatically executes the switch logic to complete the relevant switching.
The sequence in which the drive is switched from running (variable frequency mode) to bypassed (power frequency mode): KM41
(QF41) opens → KM42 (QF42) opens → KM43 (QF43) closes.

VACON® 1000

Operating Guide Product Overview

By default, the closing time interval from KM42 (QF42) to KM43 (QF43) is 5 s, and the time can be set. It is convenient to adjust
according to the motor and load state during field debugging. Thus, to ensure reasonable switching speed, the overcurrent obsta-
cle caused by the residual magnetic effect of the motor is avoided.
The sequence in which the drive is switched from bypassed (power frequency mode) to running (variable frequency mode): KM41
(QF41) closes → KM43 (QF43) opens → KM42 (QF42) closes.
KM41 (QF41) is switched on first. If no fault is found in the self-check, the system sends out the command to switch off KM43 (QF43)
and KM42 (QF42). The drive starts automatically (if the flying start function is enabled), and operation is switched from power fre-
quency to variable frequency.

3.3.7.3 Synchronous Transfer Cabinet

Synchronous transfer uses phase-locked loop technology, so that the frequency, phase, and amplitude of the output voltage of the
drive are consistent with the input voltage (grid voltage). The synchronous transfer function can realize undisturbed transfer be-
tween the grid and the drive, and reduce the impact on the mechanical equipment and grid. The option provides a convenient and
reliable solution for the start of heavy-load motors, the sequential soft start of multi motors into the power grid, and other applica-
tions.
Illustration 23 shows a synchronous transfer cabinet configuration, where:
• KM41–KM43 are high-voltage vacuum contactors or breakers, which are used for switching between power frequency and fre-
quency conversion operation.
• QS41–QS42 are manual separation knife switches, which are used to isolate the drive during maintenance to ensure the safety
of the equipment and personnel.
• L61is the reactor, which is used to:
- Suppress the output current fluctuation of the drive at the moment of grid connection due to the phase and amplitude
errors when the phase lock is successful.
- Reduce the probability of overcurrent fault of the drive caused by the sudden change of the output current of the drive at
the moment of switching.
• DN41 is a high voltage alive display indication, used to indicate when the high-voltage circuit is electrified.
• FN41 is an optional surge arrester, used to protect the equipment from surge currents, such as lightning.

Process sequence of load transfer from the drive to the grid

• Initial state: KM41 and KM42 are closed, and KM43 is open.
• Phase lock: The drive runs to grid frequency and starts to lock phase to grid voltage.
• Synchronous transfer: After phase lock, KM43 is closed and the load transfer to grid is started.
• Synchronous transfer finished: After the load transfer, KM42 and KM41 are opened.

• Phase lock: KM41 is closed. The drive runs to grid frequency and starts to lock phase to grid voltage.
• Synchronous transfer: After phase lock, KM42 is closed and the load transfer to the drive is started.
• Synchronous transfer finished: After the load transfer, KM43 is opened.
Control and operation principle
The operation principle of the synchronous transfer cabinet is similar to the automatic bypass cabinet. The devices in the bypass
cabinet are the same, as are their functions, but the operation sequence is different.
When switching from variable frequency operation to power frequency operation, the drive control software matches the frequen-
cy and phase of the input and output of the drive after receiving the switching command. When the frequency, amplitude, and
phase of the output voltage of the drive are consistent with the power grid, the switching operation is carried out.
The sequence in which the drive is switched from running (variable frequency mode) to bypassed (power frequency mode): KM43
(QF43) closes → KM41 (QF41) opens → KM42 (QF42) opens.
When switching from power frequency operation to variable frequency operation, the drive first operates without load, and tracks
the power grid to the phase-locked state. After the grid connection, the motor is cut out from the power frequency and switched to
the variable frequency operation.
The sequence in which the drive is switched from bypassed (power frequency mode) to running (variable frequency mode): KM41
(QF41) closes → KM42 (QF42) closes → KM43 (QF43) opens.

Illustration 25: Main Circuit Diagram of VACON® 1000

The phase-shift rectifier transformer is a 3-phase air-cooled dry-type transformer directly connected with the incoming high voltage.
The secondary windings use an extended delta connection, which can lower the content of the input side current distortion. The
phase-shift angle between the secondary windings can be calculated according to the following formula:

60°
Phase − shift angle =
Number of power cells

The secondary windings of the transformer provide input power for each power cell respectively. The number of secondary wind-
ings and the phase-shift angle between the windings are determined according to the voltage level and structure of the drive, as
shown in Table 4.

3.4.2 Power Cells

The power cell is the basic module of the medium-voltage drive, which produces a variable voltage and frequency output. It is com-
posed of fast acting fuses, a rectification bridge, DC-link capacitance, IGBT inverting bridge, and so on.
The input terminals of the power cells are connected with the 3-phase winding of the secondary side of the phase-shift transformer.
The 3-phase diode provides full-wave rectification to charge the DC-link capacitance, and the voltage on the capacitance is provi-
ded to the H-bridge 1-phase bridge inverter circuit formed by 4 IGBTs.
The power cell receives signals through optical fibers, and controls the closing and opening of the S1–S4 IGBTs by using PWM mod-
ulation mode to output a 1-phase impulse modulated waveform. Each cell has only 3 possible output states:
• When S1 and S4 are closed, the state of the output voltage VUV is VDC.
• When S2 and S3 are closed, the output voltage VUV is -VDC.
• When S1 and S3 or S2 and S4 are closed, the output voltage VUV is 0.
Illustration 26 shows the waveform diagram of the output voltage of each power cell and the superimposed output phase voltage
waveform when 6 cells are connected in series. As shown in the figure, 13 voltage levels are obtained through connecting the 6
power cells in series. The increasing number of the voltage levels reduces the distortion content of the output voltage and simulta-
neously lowers the risk of damaging the motor insulation caused by dU/dt. Illustration 27 and Illustration 28 are the waveform dia-
grams of the output voltage and current of the drive when loaded by a motor.

Each power cell has an independent cell control board and driver board. The cell control board receives the PWM signal transmitted
by the main control system through optical fiber to control the IGBT. Simultaneously, the status information of each power cell is
fed back to the main control system by the cell control board through optical fiber. The driver board is used to drive the IGBT and
feedback the failure signal of the IGBTs to the cell control board, such as short-circuit protection.

An example structure diagram of the control system is shown in Illustration 29. The number of power cells depends on the nominal
voltage of the drive.

Illustration 29: Structure Diagram of the Control System

The main functions of the main control system include:

• Digital input and output
• Analog input and output
• PWM control signal generation of each power cell
• Encoding and decoding of the control signal
• System self-diagnosis
• Delivery of various implementation instructions
• Collection and handling of various failures
• Communication with external systems
To enhance the flexibility at the site application, a PLC is used for the logical processing of the internal switching signals, site opera-
tion signals, and status signals of the medium-voltage drive. The VACON® 1000 medium-voltage drive uses a high-quality PLC to:
• Accomplish the input and output drive signal control
• Protection and interlocking
• External failure detection
• Communication with the main control system
• Control of the human-machine interface
The HMI (Human-machine interface) is based on a high-definition liquid-crystal touch-type screen. It is easy to operate and is used
to set functional parameters, display and record the system status, operation status, and faults through the connection to the PLC.

VACON® 1000

Operating Guide Product Overview

VACON® 1000 delivers high performance control accuracy using Vector Control. The ability to control motor flux and speed inde-
pendently yields fast dynamic response to load fluctuations and high torque at low speeds, including during motor startup. The
control diagram is shown in Illustration 30.
Both encoder and sensorless Vector Control approaches are available for selection. The speed sensors can be installed depending
on actual application conditions. For cases without the speed sensors, the system can still provide fast dynamic responses and high
output torque when the motor is running at low speed.

3.6.6 Cabinet Options

Cooling fan redundancy, +QDFR
With the cooling fan redundancy option, it is possible to operate part of the fans and keep some in standby. The operational fans
can be selected manually or if a fan fails, a redundant fan can be started automatically. Fan cycle time can also be configured, so
that the fans in operation and standby change periodically.
External cooling fan supply, +QDEX
If it is likely that the drive is going to be stopped for short periods of time, it is recommended to select the External cooling fan
supply option +QDEX. By default in VACON® 1000, the cooling fans are powered by the auxiliary winding of the built-in transformer.
If there is a mains voltage interruption, the fans stop. If the transformer is stopped for a few minutes and the fans are switched off,
hot air from the transformer section can enter the power cell section and cause overheating. This is especially relevant for stand-
alone type cabinets.

3.6.8 Environment Options

50 °C ambient temperature operation, +T50C
The option +T50C is designed to adapt VACON® 1000 for operation at ambient temperatures up to +50 °C. The option includes
software adaptation of the rated system current to the required derating. The system current is adapted to match the cooling condi-
tions. The system current is calculated according to the following formula:

T − 40
System current = Motor rated current × 1 −
100

When T = +50 °C, this equals: Motor rated current x 0.9.

High altitude, >2000 m above sea level, +THAL
The +THAL option adapts VACON® 1000 to work at heights up to 2000 m above sea level. The adaptations include changes to the
design of the input section, types of insulators, high-voltage cables, and more.
For higher altitudes, more adaptation is required. Always specify the actual height of the installation above sea level before placing
the VACON® 1000 order.

3.6.9 Engineered Options

To adapt VACON® 1000 to the technical requirements of a specific project, it is possible to install not only the standard options, but
also customized engineered options. These options are available on request. Engineering options are coded +Z*** with sequential

Operating Guide Receiving the Delivery

4 Receiving the Delivery

4.1 Checking the Delivery
1. Before unpacking, check the number of packing boxes according to the shipping list and then check whether the appear-
ance of the packing boxes is in good condition.

For drives with current rating >438 A, the power cells are delivered in separate boxes.

2. After removing the packaging, check the product and enclosed documents according to the shipping list to see whether
anything is missing, or does not match the order. Compare the type code for the order to the type code on the package
label. See 3.5 Type Code Description.
- If the delivery does not agree with the order, speak to the vendor immediately.
3. Examine the product for any transport damage.
- If the drive was damaged during the shipping, speak to the cargo insurance company or the carrier.

4.2 Storage
The storage temperature range of VACON® 1000 is between -40...+70 °C, and the relative humidity must not exceed 95%. The stor-
age environment must be out of direct sunlight, corrosion, inflammable gas, conductive dust, salt smog, and oil smoke.
VACON® 1000 is delivered on a fumigation treated wooden pallet. The drive is bolted to the pallet and vacuum packed in aluminum
foil. It is recommended to keep the equipment sealed in its packaging until installation. In its packaging, the drive can be stored in a
dry and ventilated place for more than one year. If the drive is required to be stored for a longer period, contact Danfoss.
If the drive is unpacked, apply desiccant on the drive when stored again. The aluminum foil packaging can be reused.

4.3 Lifting and Moving the Drive

W A R N I N G
LIFTING HEAVY EQUIPMENT
Follow local safety regulations for lifting heavy weights. Failure to follow recommendations and local safety regulations can result
in death or serious injury.
- Ensure that the lifting equipment is in proper working condition.

Move the cabinets in vertical position. To lift the cabinets, use a lifting device that can lift the weight of the cabinets. Refer to the
shipping marks on the package for more information, such as weight, center of gravity, and lifting positions.
Move the drive to the installation location before removing the packaging material.
VACON® 1000 standalone cabinets are delivered in one piece, but line-up designs are delivered in separate sections:
• Control cabinet
• Power cell cabinet
• Transformer cabinet
• Options cabinet
To divide the weight of the cabinets equally, and to prevent damage to the equipment, always use 4 lifting points. Align the lifting
locations with the center of gravity, which is marked on the package.
Move the cabinets slowly and carefully. Switchgear parts can easily fall because their center of gravity is high up at the back of the
cabinets.

4.3.1 Lifting the Standalone Cabinets

After the packaging of the cabinets is removed, a crane or forklift is required to lift them off the wooden pallets and to the installa-
tion location.

1. Use a crane to lift the cabinet from the bottom.

The distance (D) between crane hook and cabinet top must be more than 1.5 m (4.92 ft).
The minimum angle between two lifting ropes must be 45°.

5 Mechanical Installation
5.1 Operating Environment

N O T I C E
CONDENSATION
Moisture can condense on the electronic components and cause short circuits. Product warranty does not cover a failure caused
by moisture inside the VACON® 1000.
- Avoid installation in areas subject to frost.
- Install an optional space heater when the drive is colder than the ambient air or the drive is installed in an area with high
humidity.
- If the product has been in storage for more than 3 months or if there is condensation inside the drive, follow the dehumidifi-
cation process before powering up the drive. See 8.4.1 Dehumidification Process.

N O T I C E
EXTREME AMBIENT CONDITIONS
Hot or cold temperatures compromise unit performance and longevity.

To ensure the long-term and reliable operation of the drive, the installation environment must meet the following requirements:
• The temperature in the normal operating environment must be between -5...+40 °C. If the ambient temperature exceeds these
values, the equipment must be used in derated operation or equipped with corresponding air conditioning equipment.
• The relative humidity must be within 5% to 95% without condensation.
• Pollution degree: II
- Chemical gas: IEC 721-3-3, class 3C1
- Solid particle: IEC 721-3-3, class 3S2
Installation altitude
If the installation altitude is higher than 1000 m above sea level, consider the following:
• Deterioration of cooling
• Condensation
• Risk of corona discharge and breakdown
• Increased radiation levels
The +THAL option adapts VACON® 1000 to work at heights up to 2000 m above sea level. For higher altitudes, more adaptation is
required. Always specify the actual height of the installation above sea level before placing the VACON® 1000 order.

5.2 Cabinet Installation

Installation guidelines:
• To keep motor cable length as short as possible, install the drive close to the motor.
• Install the drive on a flat foundation. See 5.2.1 Foundation for the Drive.
• For safety and easier cabling, it is recommended to install the cabinet on a cable trench.
• Ensure that there is enough space around the unit for proper cooling. See 5.5 Cooling and Free Space Around the Enclosed
Drive.
• Ensure that there is enough room to open the cabinet doors and for working on the equipment.
• Remove the moving and lifting parts from the cabinet before installation.

5.2.1 Foundation for the Drive

Danfoss provides general arrangement and floor plan drawings for each VACON® 1000 delivery. Consult these drawings for floor
leveling requirements. The finished floor under and in front of the drive line-up must be smooth and level. The minimum floor level-
ing requirement is a tolerance of ±1 mm/m (±0.012 in/ft) over the whole length of the drive line-up. For example, for a 5 m (16.4 ft)
wide cabinet line-up, the floor leveling tolerance is ±5 mm (±0.06 in) over the 5 m (16.4 ft).

VACON® 1000

Operating Guide Mechanical Installation

If levelness of the foundation cannot be guaranteed, put shims on the bottom of the cabinets to adjust the levelness. Once the
levelness is within the tolerance, fix the cabinets to each other, and fix them to the foundation.
In installations on concrete floors, install all power and control conduits or cable guides before moving the units to the site. The
floor plan drawings show the available space for the conduits or cable guides. Conduits or cable guides must not extend more than
25.4 mm (1 in) above the floor level of the drive. Before pouring concrete, plug the conduit and cable guide openings.
In installations on steel floors, for example prefabricated metal buildings, cutouts for cable entry must not extend outside the space
provided in the frame of the drive as shown on the floor plan drawings.
The foundation must be able to support the weight of the drive.
The foundation must be non-flammable, smooth, non-abrasive, and anti-corrosive.
Weld or fix the base of the drive to the foundation.
If installing VACON® 1000 in an electrical room in a seismic area or where floor vibration or movements are transmitted to the load-
bearing structure of the VACON® 1000 cabinet, follow the special rules for installing electrical equipment.

5.2.2 Attaching the Cabinets

Once the cabinets are in position and aligned, attach the cabinets to each other.
For line-up cabinets, secure the power cell cabinet with control part and the transformer cabinets with junction part to each other.
Install the optional cabinets on the right side of the transformer cabinet in sequence.
For standalone cabinets, install the optional cabinets on the left side of the cabinet.

Illustration 40: Attachment Points in Line-up Cabinets

Notice the following points:

• When handling and installing the cabinet, consider safety protection measures, such as shockproof and moisture proof, to avoid
deformation of the frame and damage to the paint coating.
• Align the cabinets well before attachment.
• When attaching the cabinets, the bases of the two cabinets can be leaned against each other completely by using a lifting truck
or chain-reversing hoist before they are fixed.
• Use M6×40 hexagonal spacers and M6×10 screws to connect the adjacent cabinets.
• The cabinets must be grounded reliably.
• The fastening parts used in installation must be standard parts with Zn-Ni alloy plating.
• If the cabinet is placed against the wall or the depth of the cabinets is different, the hexagonal spacers cannot be used for at-
taching the back side of the cabinet. In this case, use angle steel parts to connect the cabinets.
e30bi668.10

5.4 Dimensions of the Enclosed Drive

See the dimensions of the drive cabinet in 11.2 Power Ratings and Dimensions.
Always refer to the delivery-specific information for the accurate dimensions.

5.5 Cooling and Free Space Around the Enclosed Drive

The AC drive produces heat in operation. VACON® 1000 uses forced air cooling to control the temperature of the transformer, power
cells, and other components. Fans on the top of the cabinet provide the airflow. The cool air is drawn into the cabinet through the
inlet and directed out from the outlet as shown in the picture.
e30bi671.10

Illustration 44: Flow of Cooling Air

Make sure that the temperature of the cooling air does not become higher than the maximum ambient operating temperature or
lower than the minimum ambient operating temperature of the drive. See 5.1 Operating Environment.

VACON® 1000

Operating Guide Mechanical Installation

Make sure that the hot air goes out of the cabinet and does not come back into the cabinet. There must be free space above the
cabinet without obstacles that can stop the airflow. Some free space in front of the cabinet is also necessary to be able to open the
cabinet doors safely and to do maintenance.
• The back side of the cabinet can be placed against a wall.
• The distance between the cabinet front and walls ≥1500 mm.
• The cabinet doors open to a 110° angle.
• The distance between the cabinet fan cover top and ceiling:
- ≥400 mm for non-ducted drives.
- ≥1000 mm for ducted drives.
The power loss of the AC drive can change significantly, when the load, the output frequency or the switching frequency changes. It
is useful to know the power loss, when planning the cooling equipment in an electrical room.
To calculate the power loss, use the ecoSmart tool. See http://ecosmart.danfoss.com/#/app/intro.

N O T I C E
Check local legislation for the safety clearance requirements around the cabinet.

5.6 Air Ducting Guidelines

Air ducts can be used to direct the warm outlet air from the VACON® 1000 out from the electrical room.
Air ducts are not manufactured or supplied by Danfoss. Therefore, also calculations or documentation for the manufacturing of air
ducts are not available from Danfoss. If an air duct is used, Danfoss takes no responsibility for the cooling efficiency. The air duct
sizing, manufacturing, and installation must be done by a professional HVAC integrator.
Guidelines for using an air duct:
• An air duct decreases the cooling efficiency compared to an open room.
• The outlet area of the air duct must be larger than the sum of the cabinet fan outlet areas.
• The air inlet area of the cabinet location must be larger than 1.5 times the sum of the fan outlet areas. The air inlet must have a
primary air filter.
• The longer the air duct is, the more the cooling efficiency decreases. The recommended maximum length of the air duct is 3 m.
For longer air ducts, support brackets and an induced draft fan are required.
• The outlet of the air duct must be waterproof to prevent water entering the air duct.
• The outlet of the air duct must be protected from the penetration of dust and small animals.
• If the drive has fans with a different productivity, there is a risk of air displacement

5.8 Electrical House Installation

If installing VACON® 1000 in environments with heavy dust, corrosive gases, temperature fluctuations above the rated range, or risk
of unauthorized entry, the standard IP42 enclosure protection is not sufficient. In such cases, it is recommended to install VACON®
1000 in an additional enclosure, such as an electrical house or modular building.
Consider that the cooling conditions in the additional enclosure deteriorate. The manufacturer of the enclosure must consider the
high volume of cooling air and the requirement for its filtration and dehumidification. Sometimes forced ventilation or AC unit in-
stallation is required. The density of the air filter material depends on the air quality and the dust type. If there is high dust content,
extra cyclone filters are recommended.
The electrical house is a complex engineering product with many subsystems such as lighting, fire alarm, security, climate control,
and many others. For ordering the electrical house, it is recommended to contact local professional suppliers. The calculation of the
cooling efficiency of the electrical house is the responsibility of the supplier.

applicable installation codes.
When selecting the size of the fuses or mains circuit breaker, refer to the available
• Short circuit power
• Continuous current
• Supply voltage

6.3 Galvanic Isolation Between the MV and LV Sections

There is galvanic isolation between the low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) sections of the cabinets. The insulation between
the sections protects the devices in the LV section from the medium voltages.
Most of the LV components are in the control cabinet. Only the current sensors (HECS) and some optional components, such as
space heaters, humidity sensors, and thermostat controllers are in the other cabinets. The connections between the LV and MV de-
vices are done either through optical fibers or are electrically isolated.

6.6 Grounding
Use interconnection busbars to connect the ground busbars in each cabinet.
In installations following the IEC standard, the cross-sectional area of the interconnection busbars must be at least:
• Standalone type: 25 mm × 3 mm.
• Lineup type <350 A: 40 mm × 3 mm.
• Lineup type 350–680 A: 50 mm × 4 mm.
In installations following the UL standard, the cross-sectional area of the interconnection busbars must be at least 50 mm × 6 mm.
Connect the main grounding busbar of the cabinet to the system grounding cable. The recommended minimum cross-sectional
area for the connection is 95 mm2.
The cross-sectional area of the grounding cables must be ≥16 mm2 and at least half of the cross-sectional area of the high voltage
phase wires. The grounding resistance of the grounding connection must be lower than 4 Ω.
The ground leakage current value must be lower than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC and must meet the safety specifications related to
high leakage current equipment.
The PE of the system grounding terminal must be grounded reliably to prevent accidents.
Do not use the same grounding wire with other power equipment or welding machine. Ground each drive independently where
there are multiple drives in the same room. Series connection to the ground is forbidden.

6.7 Power Cable Selection

• Use armored three-core copper cable with XLPE or ERP insulation and metallic shield.
• The wire sectional area recommended for the power and motor cables is based on the single-cable method of the three-core
cable and an ambient temperature of 40°C. If the conditions change (cable configuration, cable bundle, and ambient tempera-
ture), refer to the design information according to the cable configuration.
• The highest temperature of the cables in the cabinet when operating continuously is 90°C.
• The motor cable in the cabinet is copper-core with ethylene-propylene rubber insulation and chloroethene jacket.
• If the input voltage is larger than the output voltage, the nominal voltage of the output power cable must be equal to the input
voltage.

6.8 Additional Instructions for Cable Installation

For the specific wiring scheme, see the site wiring diagram. Note the following during cabling:
• Only use symmetrically EMC shielded cables between the drive and other equipment (high voltage power cabinet and motor).
• To avoid interference, route the control signals, communication, supply cables, and motor cables separately rather than in the
same cabling slot. If separate routing is impossible, the spacing between the control, signal, communication and power source
cables, and power motor cables must be >30 cm.
• If it is possible, do not put the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.
• For the control signals, use multi-core wire with a shielding layer, wherein the shielding layer is equipotentially grounded at
both ends and is not too long.
• The wires used to transmit different signals must be routed in an alternative and mutually vertical way (staggered), for example
AC signal and DC signal.

6.9 Control Wiring

6.9.1 Control Cable Selection

Control power cables
Use low-voltage cables with PVC or XLPE insulations of copper, with shield, and in single or multi-core constructions.
Cable specification for input voltage 208–600 V:
• Solid type cable, 2.5–6.0 mm2, or 14–10 AWG.
• Flexible type cable, 4.0 mm2, or 12 AWG.
Cable specification for input voltage 120 V:
• Solid type cable, two parallel connected cables, 2.5–6.0 mm2, or 14–10 AWG.
• Flexible type cable, two parallel connected cables, 4.0 mm2, or 12 AWG.
Control signal cables
Use control cables with XLPE or PVC insulation, with screening, and in multi-core constructions.
• Solid type cable, 1.0–4.0 mm2, or 17–12 AWG.
• Flexible type cable, 2.5 mm2, or 13 AWG.

6.9.2 Control Power Wiring

Connect L and N of the control power to terminals 1 and 7 in terminal block X12. See Table 10.

15 PE Grounding

The drive has a double supply circuit. If external power is lost, the supply switches to the auxiliary winding of the phase-shift trans-
former to output 1-phase power, and the drive can still operate normally. When the external power is restored, the supply switches
back to the external power.
Protection Requirements for the Supply Circuit
TT networks: If the neutral point of the control power is directly grounded, connect the frame to the grounding terminal (the
grounding terminal has no connection with the neutral point grounding).
IT networks: The neutral point of the control power is not directly grounded.

6.9.3 Control Circuit Wiring

The wiring terminals of the control circuit are as shown in table.
• The digital input terminals must be passive nodes with a capacity of 1 A/24 V DC.
• The digital output terminals provided by the system are passive nodes with a capacity of 5 A/220 V AC or 5 A/220 V DC.
• The definitions of all the I/O terminals are defaults, and can be defined and configured again according to requirements.

4. After the power cells finish discharging, power off the control power.

C A U T I O N
- Do not cut off the control power when the drive is powered on or the LED indicators of the power cells are on.

8.7 Interlocking System

8.7.1 Electromagnetic Interlocking System

N O T I C E
The electromagnetic interlocking system is installed as standard in IEC type drives.

The electromagnetic interlocking system ensures that the cabinet doors cannot be opened during operation of the drive.
Operation of the electromagnetic interlocking system
• Before HV power on: All electromagnetic locks are energized, all doors are unlocked, and can be opened or closed. Only after all
doors are closed, and after self-diagnosis, the PLC can send out the "MCB closing allowed" signal.
• HV power on: Once the MCB is closed to power the drive, the electromagnetic locks are de-energized, the doors are locked, and
cannot be opened during operation of the drive. If the doors are opened despite the locking (for example, by force), an "MCB
trip" signal is immediately sent to trip the MCB.
• HV power off: After the drive is powered off and the power cell discharge process is completed (15 minutes), the electromagnet-
ic locks are energized, the doors are unlocked, and can be opened.

8.7.2 Mechanical Interlocking System

N O T I C E
The mechanical interlocking system is installed as standard in UL type drives. It is available as an option for IEC variants.

The interlock system ensures that a process is followed and cannot be circumvented or short cut. The transfer of a key ensures that
wherever personnel find themselves, in either starting or shutting down operations, they can be assured that they are safe.
The interlock device contains three main parts:
• Main key for the isolating means
• Door keys (one for each cabinet door)
• Key exchange box
The interlock kit for the isolating means is not included in the delivery.

• When the main key for the isolating means is free from the key exchange box, the other door keys are locked in the box. There-
fore, the doors to the cabinet are locked.
• When the isolating means, for example main circuit breaker, is closed, the main key is locked there. To free the main key, open
the isolating means.
• To release the door keys sequentially, insert and turn the main key in the key exchange box. The released keys can then be used
to open the cabinet doors and to access the hazardous areas.
• The inserted main key stays locked in the key exchange box until all the released door keys are returned to their original posi-
tions.
• The drive cannot be restarted until all the door keys are returned to the key exchange box and the main key is removed and
taken to the isolating means.

10 Fault Tracing
10.1 Fault Types
When the control diagnostics of the drive find an unusual condition in the operation of the drive, the drive shows a notification
about it. The notification can be seen on the display of the control panel. The display shows the number, the name, and a short
description of the fault or alarm.
There are 2 different types of notification.
• An alarm informs of unusual operation on the drive. The alarm does not stop the drive. The system can be powered on, started,
and operated normally.
• A fault stops the drive immediately. Reset the drive and find a solution to the problem. Do not operate the system until the
problem has been found and corrected.
It is possible to configure different responses for some faults in the application. See 10.2 Fault Response Configuration.
To view specific information about alarms or faults, click AlarmFault.
Before contacting the distributor or the factory because of unusual operation, prepare some data. Write down the fault number and
