General
Work on live equipment must be done only by duly qualified and trained staff.

Unconditionally pay attention to following points:

• Never touch live parts.
• Only use suitable tools and proper measuring instruments according to the overvoltage class III or IV
(maximum voltage 690 V AC and 1000 V DC).
• Work on live equipment must be done only under attendance of a second skilled person. Be aware of the
location of the emergency OFF facilities.
• Take care of correct work clothes and protective equipment:
• Isolating gloves (at least class 0)
• Accidental arcing proof clothes
• Insulating mats up to 1000 V (covering mats)
• Insulation of the working position up to 1000 V
• Safety helmet with eyepiece (accidental arcing proofed)
• Safety shoes with steel toe cap recommended

HMFT
Also observe the safety directives of EN 50110 "Work on electric installations below 1 kV AC and
1.5 kV DC".

Please consult our competent service experts in case of severe faults, which cannot be solved by
means of this instruction.

Before exchanging defect parts or fuses, the cause of fault must be found. Exchanging parts without

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

eliminating the cause of fault leads to anew breakdown and may even enlarge the dimension of
damage.

Check as well the ambient conditions before exchanging defect parts or the whole device. See also
chapter "Environmental influences", page 5.

 Identification of the device
It is important to identify the respective device on the basis of type and serial number in case of maintenance
and repair. These information are required especially when contacting the service department or ordering
spare parts.

There are two possibilities to identify a device:

1. Read off the data on the name plate of the device.
The name plate is always placed on the inner side of the cubicle
door of the incoming cubicle ICC and the serial number of the IVC is
placed on the cubicle door bottom right.
2. Read off the values of parameter group [1.11 IDENTIFICATION]

These information are absolutely necessary for maintenance and

repair:
Type: Name plate or [1.11 IDENTIFICATION]
Serial no.: Name plate or [1.11 IDENTIFICATION]

Storage

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

Storage temperature -25°C to 70°C
When the inverter was disconnected over a longer period, the performance of its electrolytic capacitors is
reduced. But due to the "active balancing system" no special treatment of the frequency inverter is necessary
when the maximum storage time has not been exceeded:
• 12 months at a maximum storage temperature of +50°C
• 24 months at a maximum storage temperature of +45°C
• 36 months at a maximum storage temperature of +40°C

When the maximum storage temperature has been exceeded, the inverter has to be applied with mains
voltage for about one hour (forming the electrolytic capacitors) before pulse enable takes place. We
recommend to execute this process already after a shutdown period of 6 months.

In case of line contactor control the line contactor has to be controlled manually without applying a
start command to the frequency inverter.

Non-observance of these precautions may cause material damage.

4
 Environmental influences
The cubicle units ATV61 Plus and ATV71 Plus can be designed in protection degree IP23 and IP54. They
contain an internal water cooling circuit. The heat of the inverter is exhausted with a water-air heat exchanger
to the ambient air.
The incoming cubicle ICC and the outgoing cubicle OGC are cooled with two three-phase fans in the cubicle
door.

Use of frequency inverters in waste water treatment plants

Sewage gases may contain ammoniac which cause oxidation of bright copper. In this case, components of the
control and power electronics will corrode and this leads to a malfunction of the device !

Use of frequency inverters in dust polluted environment (e.g. waste incineration plants)
Please be aware of the risk of conductive (metal-)dust and the impact on the inverter electronics. Conductive
dust causes short circuit of components and thus results in damage.

Use of frequency inverters in the vicinity of crushing plants

Please observe that dust is produced in varying size and consistence in the vicinity of crushing plants (e.g.
shredders). The use of the inverters has to take place in that way, that a contamination with dust is impossible.
HMFT

Condensation
Generally the operation of the frequency inverter in condensing environment is forbidden. Also condensation
without mains voltage supply causes in interaction with dust (e.g. at chalk-pits) oxidation of copper (even
through solder resist).

Correctives in case of the described environmental influences may be:

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

• Installation of the frequency inverters aloof from contaminated areas.

• Cooling air for the inverter supplied from a clean area through a separated air flow channel (overpressure
ventilation).
• Appropriate high protection degree of the cubicle (take care of sufficient cooling!).

If the frequency inverter is operated outside the specification, warranty claim expires !!!
This applies for example in case of:
• Conductive dust
• Humidity and condensation
• Aggressive atmosphere
• Operation outside the specified temperature range
• Non-compliance with pollution degree 2 according to EN 61800-5-1

5
Application remarks
The use of the ATV61 Plus and ATV71 Plus frequency inverters is basically in all mains variants permitted. But
690 V devices must not be operated in "Corner Grounded Networks".

For applications with nongrounded mains (typical for industrial mains) the frequency inverter has to be ordered
in IT design.

Please observe the remarks in chapter "Nongrounded mains" of the corresponding mounting
instructions.

Avoid the use of reversing contactors to change the rotational direction. If avoiding is not possible, at least an
interlock with the inverter has to be provided !

Motors with attached magnetic spring-loaded brake must be supplied externally and not from the inverter
output !

Supply fans of forced ventilated motors externally and not from the motor terminal box !

Factory setting

HMFT
For the ATV61 Plus and ATV71 Plus cubicle units of types EXAC63 to EXAM24 the parameter settings differ
from the macro configuration [1.12 FACTORY SETTINGS], which are stored in the factory under "CONFIG 2"
[1.12 FACTORY SETTINGS].
This configuration is additionally stored as Config source and thus the effective delivery state is recovered
when resetting to factory default.

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

Following parameter settings are stored in the Config 2 macro:

[1.8 FAULT MANAGEMENT] USB [UNDERVOLTAGE MGT]

EtF- [EXTERNAL FAULT] to LI5
The external fault is used for monitoring of the motor circuit breakers
and temperature sensors in the incoming cubicle and outgoing
cubicle.
[1.7 APPLICATION FUNCT.] LLC- [LINE CONTACTOR COMMAND]
When the device includes the option "LIne contactor", it is also
activated in the software.

Motor data
Each frequency inverter provides factory motor data according to its power.
These motor data are the basis for operating the frequency inverter but usually they are adjusted by entering
the data of the rating plate or they are improved by the determined autotuning data.

When changing a motor parameter the autotuning data get lost. That means that autotuning has to be
executed again after each change of a motor parameter!

Maintenance

Maintenance intervals
Regular maintenance reduces failure rate. Therefrom you should observe the specified intervals regarding
inspection and exchange of the different system components.
The specifications in the following table are recommended at normal ambient conditions. If the drive is
operated under worse conditions, the intervals have to be shortened.
Operating the inverter further than 11 years requires additional spare part storage on your side.

 Visual inspection
During visual inspection the overall condition of the inverter installation should be checked for following points:

• Mechanical damages of the housing

Maintenance and exchange of fans

HMFT

The life cycle of the AC fans is approx. 40.000 hours. The ambient condition has an effect on the life cycle and
thus the fans have to be exchanged regularly.

Exchanging the fans in the cooling cubicle

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

• Take care that the dans cannot operate by ensure that no mains
voltage exist
• The motor circiut breakers Q11...Q13 are disconnected !

Remove the two screws above the heat exchanger in order to

exchange the fans in the cooling cubicle COC. Afterwards the whole
cooling unit can be swivelled out horizontal where it remains in its
position.

1.10 - Diagnostics Test Procedure
Test Procedure

Allows the diagnosis of a failed element through

HMFT
various tests such as:
• Thyristor test
• Transistor test

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

Transistor test

For this test a motor must be connected and the motor nameplate data entered into the “motor control’’ menu.
The result depends upon the proper matching between the motor and the current information entered. It uses
injected DC (warning, to the current level, which must be representative of the full load motor current).

Principle:

To detect a short circuit each transistor are command during 6 μS, if the opposite transistor is in short circuit,
there are a short circuit in the DC bus.
To detect an open transistor 2 transistors are command (ex: T1 and T6), the motor is used, and the current is
measured via the current sensor. If one is open it’s checked by combination (T1/T6 then T1/T2 then T3 /T4
then T3 / T2 then T5 / T4 and finally T5 /T6).

44
 The results only apply to the IGBTs: possible results are OK, short circuit and open.
If an output contactor is present, be sure it is closed for the test.
To start the test you must push the ENT button for ~2 sec.

If the test result is short circuit or open transistor the fault can be caused by:
• Bad motor connection = check the wiring.
• Problem with the transistor command = change the power board or the gate drive board.
• Problem with the transistor = change the transistor.

Thyristor test
HMFT

This menu is only present for sizes larger than 18.5 kW (230V, 480V and 690V range).
The test does not require any specific wiring by the customer: it is only necessary that the product be
powered by three-phase power.

Each thyristors are blocked one by one then open, the

discharging time is measured. If the thyristor is bad the
level of the DC bus is not the same.
8 P01 342 EN.00/00

This test can work for a long time because it depends

of the time discharge.
The result generated is a number of pulses that
corresponds to an OK / NOK result depending on
whether the power supply is 50 / 60 Hz.

The diodes are never tested by this test !

Measurement of power semiconductors
Before any work at the inverter disconnect the frequency inverter from the mains, wait until the DC link
is discharged and check whether there is no voltage anymore!!

When measuring the power part, we recommend the following proceeding in order to avoid faulty
measurements:
• These measurements can be executed with connected mains and motor terminals when there is no
voltage. If the measuring values point out a defect, disconnect the mains or motor terminals in order to
locate the fault more precisely.
• Measure the diodes, thyristors and IGBTs with a universal measuring instrument with diode test function
and applied current.

In case of this measurement the absolute values are not decisive because they heavily depend on the
used measuring instrument. The consistency of the measured values is the determining factor. Please
observe furthermore that the measuring instrument needs some time to charge the DC link capacity.

Rectifier measurement

HMFT
Before any work at the inverter disconnect the frequency inverter from the mains, wait until the DC link
is discharged and check whether there is no voltage anymore!!

The diodes are measured between the input terminals L1.1x...L3.2x and the minus DC link busbar PC/-. The
thyristors are measured between the input terminals L1.1x...L3.2x and the plus DC link busbar PA/+.

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

The DC link voltage applies at the connection of the braking unit in the outgoing cubicle.

The gates of the thyristors cannot be checked when the module is built-in!

52
 IGBT measurement

The IGBTs are measured between the motor terminals U, V, W and the plus or minus DC link busbar PA/+,
PC/-.

In case of a defect IGBT the module is rather infrequently defective because the control electronics
reacts very fast and thus prevents mechanical destruction. Therefrom a measurement is absolutely
necessary for assessment.

The gates of the IGBTs cannot be checked when the module is built-in!
HMFT
8 P01 342 EN.00/00

Opening the IVC

It should be avoided to open the inverter cubicle IVC, if possible.

Opening the inverter cubicle IVC must be done only by duly qualified and trained staff because of
danger of life !

Before any work at the power part disconnect the frequency inverter from the mains, lock against
being switched on again, wait at least 15 min. until the DC link is discharged and check with a
multimeter whether there is no voltage at the mains connection and the DC link terminals anymore !

Avoid swirling dust produced by other equipment nearby !

Take precautions against intrusion of dust or dirt into the cubicle before opening the IVC.

Execute the recommended steps according to chapter "Analytic trouble shooting

", page 15 before opening the inverter cubicle.

Follow the instructions in chapter "Visual inspection", page 11, chapter " Analytic trouble shooting
", page 15 and "Exchanging defect components", page 61.

Before closing the inverter cubicle IVC again, ensure that all plug connections and hose connections are
connected and absolutely sealed (see chapter "Visual inspection", page 11) and check whether there is no
dust and humidity in the inverter.
If there is dust or humidity (condensation water) inside the device, it has to be cleaned and dried carefully.

53
External service supply
It is possible to apply a voltage supply to the frequency inverter in order to operate the most important
components and the cooling pump to fill the cooling circuit, to check them and to locate a failure.

The DC link will not be charged by this supply variant. However PCBs for voltage supply are applied
with voltages> 25 V up to 600 V DC !

The mounting plate of the PCBs is not applied with earth potential but it is floating and there may be
voltage against earth !

The 3-phase service supply (only 400 V) is connected to terminals 4, 5 and 6 of the terminal strip X100 in the
outgoing cubicle. The power consumption is about 200 W.

Please observe that the motor circuit breakers must be in the following states for using the service supply.

Motor circuit breaker Position Comment

Q4 OFF for supply of the electronics
Q10 OFF only when the cooling pump is required

The control lamp in the outgoing cubicle, for checking the direction of rotation "K09" must be active. Otherwise

HMFT
the rotational direction of the pump is wrong or the phases of the service supply have to be interchanged at
terminals X100/4/5/6 in the outgoing cubicle.
The motor circuit breakers Q11...Q16 in the outgoing cubicle are irrelevant for the service supply.
It is not possible to operate the fans with this supply variant.

In any case after applying the service supply, measure the DC link voltage because the DC link could

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

be charged anyway due to a defect component !

54
 Diagnostic LEDs
The devices contain additional LEDs on the PCBs for simple diagnostics and troubleshooting that show the
proper voltage supply of the different modules.

defective !

Checking the current transformers

The voltage supply of the current transformers is monitored by the software. If a current transformer is
defective and there is a short-circuit at the voltage supply, the software recognises the situation and indicates
the trip message "Inf9".

In order to detect which of the three current transformers is the defective one, they have to be checked when
the IVC is opened. So please observe chapter "Opening the IVC", page 53 !
We recommend to supply the inverter with service supply during executing the measurements (see chapter
"External service supply", page 54). It is absolutely necessary to apply impulse inhibit to the frequency inverter.

Check LED 5 and LED 6 on the measuring board (A2) interface first (see chapter "Diagnostic LEDs", page 55
and chapter "Plans", page 76). These two LEDs show whether the positive and negative voltage supply of the
current transformers is existing.

The measuring devices used have to comply with overvoltage category CAT III or CAT IV according
IEC 61010 !

The supply ground of the current transformers is for all ATV61 Plus and ATV71 Plus devices Vd0 (half
DC link potential).

The mounting plate, at which the PCB (A1 power board) is mounted, is NOT applied with earth
potential but with half DC link voltage.

56
 The current transformer must be supplied with voltage as soon as current is flowing; otherwise they
can be destroyed.

Observe the general protective measures in chapter "General", page 2.

When LED 5 and LED 6 do not light, check the service supply first (see page 54).
When the service supply is alright, pull off the plugs directly at the current transformer on after the other. If the
LEDs are lighting up after pulling off a current transformer, the respective current transformer is defective
because it causes a short-circuit of the voltage supply.
Additionally you can check the measuring signals of the other current transformers against Vd0.

Color: yellow for T1 / phase U

green for T2 / phase V
violet for T3 / phase W
red +24 V supply
black -24 V supply
HMFT

All three connections of the current transformers are measured towards the respective ground of the current
transformer Vd0.

Following pictures apply for the current transformer signal:

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

Current transformer defective:

If the measuring signal of the current transformer is not constant at
0V, the current transformer is defect and has to be replaced.

Current transformer alright:

The measuring signal of the current transformer is constant at 0V.

57
Measurement of IGBTs when the device is energized

Measurements at live parts must be done only by duly qualified and trained staff !!
The measuring devices used have to comply with CAT III or IV.
Maximum voltage: 690 V AC and 1000 V DC !!

For the ATV61 Plus & ATV71 Plus devices the rectifier IGBTs can be checked as follows:
Measure the voltages between the motor phases U, V, W against Vd0 (is not earth potential) when the inverter is
applied with voltage (DC link charged), impulse inhibit is active and the motor is disconnected. Potential Vd0
applies on the heat sink (not on the protective grid !) in the outgoing cubicle.

Avoid a short circuit between Vd0 and PE !

HMFT
8 P01 342 EN.00/00
When all three measured voltages are approximately zero, there is no IGBT short circuit.

When approximately the half DC link voltage is measured at an output phase, it points out a defect of the
respective phase.
Positive voltages → failure in the positive bridge section
Negative voltages → failure in the negative bridge section

Possible cause of defect can be the motor control, the measurement board interface, the gate driver card or
the IGBT.

58

Measuring points for various voltages
The following chapter points to important measuring points inside the inverter in order to execute more
precisely analysis of faults.

70
 Recommissioning
After servicing you should proceed as follows in order to ensure safe commissioning:

1. Execute a visual inspection (see chapter "Visual inspection", page 11).

2. Apply service supply to the device as described in chapter "External service supply", page 54.
Now you can check the most important functions and voltage supplies:
− Check the diagnostic LEDs on the measurement board and of the measurement interface board as well
as the supply LED of the phase modules.
− When the supply of all components is alright, you can close the IVC and then remove the service supply.
3. Execute a diode test of the power part.
4. Supply the inverter with mains voltage for about 1 second. When nothing extraordinary occurs, connect the
inverter with the mains.
5. Each maintenance should be concluded by a load test (preferable with nominal load).
Additionally the input and output currents should be measured and checked for symmetry in all three
phases. After this check the thermal stress of the power terminals when there is no voltage.
HMFT
8 P01 342 EN.00/00

71
Software concept
The frequency inverters contain several microprocessors and thus they contain different software programs.
Basically, there are 3 programs:
• Applicative software
• Motor control software
• Software of the graphical keypad
When the inverters are delivered, they contain the latest software versions which are compatible to each other.

The applicative software is the program for controlling the behaviour of the inverter. It contains all adjustable
parameters and it processes all inputs and outputs as well as all open and closed loop tasks.

The motor control software contains the program for controlling the motor and software functions near the
motor. The software version is readable only in service parameter [1.11 IDENTIFICATION] "MC software".

The software of the graphical keypad contains the program for indication on the display and the different
language versions.
The software version is readable in service parameter [1.11 IDENTIFICATION] "GraficS".
The latest version of the graphical keypad also works with all older applicative-versions overall parameter

HMFT
families.

An older graphical keypad can be also used with a newer inverter (i.e. with newer applicative-software).
New parameters are only indicated as a symbol and not with text.

8 P01 342 EN.00/00

72
 Spare part concept
All Drivers include a power part with modular construction. Thus the phase modules and the rectifier module
are typically replaced as a whole. Exceptions are the graphical keypad, option cards used and fans as well as
other control PCBs and components of the cooling unit.
