1.6 Central Stock System

ABB Motors established Central Stock Europe (CSE) in 1988. The concept of a central stock system is unique in the electric motors market. The rapid and efficient service it provides has since become a powerful marketing and sales argument for ABB Motors. To further improve the CSE service, ABB Motors opened a new, fully automated warehouse in nearby Menden, Germany, in June 1997. The new premises provide 1,500 m2 additional storage space and 7,000 new pallet locations for the 1,500 stock articles and 90,000 stocked items. Robotized warehousing has cut processing times, enabling later cut-offs for same day dispatch. Central Stock Europe is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, therefore allowing rapid deliveries in break down situations. CSE is also investing in a new order handling system to improve the entire process. A single phone call or fax to any local ABB sales office now accesses one of the most efficient on-line sales support and access networks for stock enquiries and order processing.

2. Energy saving and the environment

2.1 General

At the World Summit held in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997, 55 nations of the world agreed to implement measures to reduce emissions to stabilise the global environment. The 38 industrialised nations agreed to reduce their 1990 level greenhouse emissions by an average of 5% between 2008 and 2012. Further, the European Union made a commitment to reduce its emissions by 8%, the US by 7% and Japan by 6%.

Output kW

In October 1998, the European Union and CEMEP (The European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical Machines and Power Electronics) agreed to introduce three efficiency classes for electric motors. This agreement forms part of the European Commissions aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO 2 emissions. The burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity, primarily consumed by households and industry, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Industry will, therefore, have a major part to play in reducing harmful emissions. For instance by increasing the efficiency of their production processes, and installing energy efficient devices, industrial processes will consume less electricity. Which, in turn, will reduce the amount of electricity which must be generated to meet demand.

25

2. Energy saving and the environment

2.2 Energy Efficient Motors

Motors account for around 65 per cent of the electric energy consumed in industrial applications. Energy saving is dependent on the kW rating of the motor, the loading and the hours run. As such, higher efficiency motors can play a significant part in reducing CO2 emissions. ABB Motors M2000 range is designed to meet changing world attitudes towards energy efficiency and motor performance. The all round operational performance of these motors goes a long way towards fulfilling the commitments of world governments to the Kyoto Summit. Industries can also help by recycling raw materials such as plastic and aluminium. This will save the electricity needed to produce these materials from their raw state (oil and aluminum ore respectively).
2.2.1 Motors for EU motor efficiency levels

ABB is one of only a handful of leading motor manufacturers in Europe, to have a motor range to meet or exceed the minimum efficiencies stated in the highest level of the EU agreement for LV motors. These efficiency levels apply to 4-pole, three phase squirrel cage induction motors, rated for 400 V, 50 Hz, with S1 duty class and with the output 1.1-90 kW, which account for the largest volume on the market. CEMEP and the European Commission are formulating an agreement for 2-pole motors, which account for the second largest production volume. This agreement is expected to be announced by April 1999.
2.2.2 Motors according to EPAct requirements

The recently amended American Energy Policy and Conservation Act, generally referred to as EPAct, requires electric motors in the 0.7 - 150 kW (1 - 200 hp) range, manufactured in or imported to the United States or Canada, to meet the efficiency levels demanded by law. ABB Motors wide product range includes motors that fulfil these requirements.

26

2. Energy saving and the environment

2.2.3 Benefits of high efficiency motors

Reducing energy costs is one way companies can cut their overheads to remain competitive. Significant savings can be made by installing an energy efficient motor. This is particularly the case when considering either new installations or equipment packages, replacing oversized and underloaded motors, making major modifications to facilities or processes, or instead of repairing or rewinding a failed motor. High efficiency motors offer savings through reduced energy costs, less downtime and a lower stock inventory. Even small rises in efficiency will make a substantial saving in the overall cost of a motor, taking into account both the operating and capital cost. For example, in the UK, an 11 kW motor costs, typically, under GBP 500 to buy, yet over GBP 50,000 to run over a 10 year operating life. The purchase price is therefore around 1 per cent of the motors total life cycle cost. The table below compares the capital cost of various motor sizes with their running costs by showing approximately how long it takes to consume their own capital cost in energy cost.
Capital cost versus running cost (GBP) Rating Approx. cap cost Typical efficiency Input kW Daily running cost Days to consume capital cost 5.5 kW 285 85 % 6.47 7.76 18.5 kW 680 90 % 20.56 24.67 90 kW 3,700 92 % 97.83 117.40 250 kW 10,500 94 % 265.96 319.15

Assuming continuous duty at a tariff of GBP 0.05/kWh

All ABB motors are energy efficient as standard, available off the shelf in all standard frame sizes. There is also a range of High Effiency Motors available. They are suitable for all applications, including hazardous areas, and variable speed drive.

27

2. Energy saving and the environment

2.2.3 Benefits of high efficiency motors

An energy efficient motor produces the same output power (torque) but uses less electrical input power (kW) than a standard efficiency motor. This higher efficiency is achieved by using higher quality and thinner laminations in the stator to reduce core loss, more copper in the slots to reduce I 2R loss. Energy efficient motors also have reduced fan and stray losses. There are three main motor efficiency testing standards, IEC 34-2 (EU), IEEE 112-1991 (USA), and JEC 37 (Japan). The main difference is that IEEE 112 measures the total losses by a direct method, thus giving the lowest values. IEC 34-2 is an indirect method which assumes the additional losses to be 0.5 per cent, which is lower than real losses for small motors. JEC 37 is also an indirect method which assumes the additional losses to be zero, thus giving the highest values.

2. Energy saving and the environment

2.2.4 Energy saving, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Life Cycle Assessment can show designers how to obtain environmental benefits in their products. The table below compares two standard 11 kW electric motors of different design. Motor A is manufactured by ABB Motors, and Motor X by a competitor. The ABB motor requires more copper and iron to manufacture than motor B, but this makes it more efficient in operation. This means that it uses less electricity than motor X over its lifetime. Operating 8,000 hours per year for 15 years, the more efficient ABB motor will use 140,681 kWh, and the less efficient motor X, 177,978 kWh. With an efficiency of 91.1 per cent, an ABB motor will lose 8.9 per cent of the 140,681 kWh. Motor X, with an efficiency of 89 per cent, will lose 11 per cent of the 177,978 kWh. The table shows the environmental aspects of these two motors based on their losses, manufacture and 96 per cent recycling. Evaluated according to the EPS scheme, motor A has a 21 per cent lower environmental impact.

4.1 Insulation

ABB Motors use class F insulation systems, which, with temperature rise B, is the most common requirement among industry today.
Class F insulation system

s Max ambient temperature 40 C s Max permissible temperature rise 105 K s Hotspot temperature margin + 10 K
Class B rise

s Max ambient temperature 40 C s Max permissible temperature rise 80 K s Hotspot temperature margin + 10 K
Insulation system temperature class

s Class F 155 C s Class B 130 C s Class H 180 C

The use of Class F insulation with Class B temperature rise gives ABB Motors products a 25 C safety margin. This can be used to increase the loading by up to 12 per cent for limited periods, to operate at higher ambient temperatures or altitudes, or with greater voltage and frequency tolerances. It can also be used to extend insulation life. For instance, a 10 K temperature reduction will extend the insulation life.

4.3 Starting motors

Connection transients

It is important to remember that the term starting current refers to the steady-state rms value. This is the value measured when, after a few cycles, the transient phenomena have died out. The transient current, the peak value, may be about 2.5 times the steady-state starting current, but decays rapidly. The starting torque of the motor behaves in a similar way, and this should be borne in mind if the moment of inertia of the driven machine is high, since the stresses on the shaft and coupling can be very great.

Direct-On-Line (D.O.L.) starting

The simplest way to start a squirrel cage motor is to connect it directly to the mains supply. In which case, a direct-on-line (D.O.L) starter is the only starting equipment required. However, one limitation with this method is that it results in a high starting current. Even so, it is the preferred method, unless there are special reasons for avoiding it.

50

4. Electrical design

4.3 Starting motors

Y/-starting
If it is necessary to restrict the starting current of a motor due to supply limitations, the Y/ method can be employed. This method, where for instance, a motor wound 400 V is started with the winding Y connected, will reduce the starting current to about 30 per cent of the value for direct starting, and the starting torque will be reduced to about 27 per cent of the D.O.L value. However, before using this method, one must first determine whether the reduced motor torque is sufficient to accelerate the load over the whole speed range. Please contact your nearest sales office for the Mot Size calculation program.

4. Electrical design

4.3.1 Soft starters

A soft starter limits the starting current while providing a smooth start. The magnitude of the starting current is directly dependent on the static torque requirement during a start, and on the mass of the load to be accelerated. By continually adapting the motor voltage to the actual requirement automatically, a soft starter will generally save energy, particularly when the motor runs with a light load. In the ABB soft starter, the main circuit is controlled by semiconductors instead of mechanical contacts. Each phase is provided with two antiparallel connected thyristors which allows current to be switched at any point within both positive and negative half cycles. The lead time is controlled by the firing angle of the thyristor which, in turn, is controlled by the built in printed circuit board.

Soft starters reduce both current and torque

52

4. Electrical design

4.3.2 Starting time

Starting time is a function of load torque, inertia and motor torque. As the starting current is always very much higher than the rated current, an excessively long starting period will cause a harmful temperature rise in the motor. The high current also leads to electromechanical stresses.

Permitted starting time

In view of the temperature rise, the starting time must not exceed the time specified in the table. The figures in the table apply to starting from normal operating temperature. When starting from cold, these can be doubled.
Maximum starting times (seconds) for occasional starting

53

4. Electrical design

4.3.2 Starting time

Permitted frequency of starting and reversing

When a motor is subjected to frequent starting, it cannot be loaded at its rated output due to the thermal starting losses in the windings. Calculating the permissible output power can be based on the number of starts per hour, the moment of inertia of the load, and the speed of the load. Mechanical stresses may also impose a limit below that of thermal factors. m Permitted output power P = PN 1-m
o

PN = rated output of motor in continuous duty J + J'L m=x. M JM x = number of starts per hour J M = moment of inertia of motor in kgm2 J' L = moment of inertia of load in kgm2, recalculated for the motor shaft, i.e. multiplied by (load speed/motor speed)2. The moment of inertia J (kgm2) is equal to 1/4 GD2 in kpm2. m o= highest permitted number of starts per hour for motor at no load, as stated in the table at right.

4.3.3 Starting characteristics

Catalogues usually state a maximum starting time as a function of motor size and speed. However, there is now a standardized requirement in IEC 34-12 which specifies the permitted moment of inertia of the driven machine instead of the starting time. For small motors, the thermal stress is greatest in the stator winding, whilst for larger motors it is greatest in the rotor winding. If the torque curves for the motor and the load are known, the starting time can be calculated by integrating the following equation:
TM - TL = (JM + JL) x d

dt where TM= motor torque, Nm TL = load torque, Nm JM = moment of inertia of motor, kgm2 JL = moment of inertia of load, kgm2 = motor angular velocity In case of gearing TL and JL will be replaced by T'L and J'L correspondingly. If the starting torque TS and maximum torque Tmax of the motor are known, together with the nature of the load, the starting time can be approximately calculated with the following equation:
tst = (JM +JL) x K1 Tacc

where tst = starting time, s Tacc = acceleration torque, K1 Nm K1 = as per table below

A duty in which, generally, load and speed are varying non-periodically within the permissible operating range. This duty includes frequently applied overloads that may greatly exceed the full loads. For this duty type, suitable full load values should be taken as the basis of the overload concept.
4.5 Uprating

4.7 Power factor

A motor consumes both active power, which it converts into mechanical work, and also reactive power, which is needed for magnetization but does not perform any work. The active and reactive power, represented in the diagram (below) by P and Q, together give the apparent power S. The ratio between the active power, measured in kW, and the apparent power, measured in kVA, is known as the power factor. The angle between P and S is usually designated . The power factor is equal to cos. The power factor is usually between 0.7 and 0.9. It is lower for small motors and higher for large motors.
The power factor is determined by measuring the input power, voltage and current at rated output. The power factor stated is subject to a tolerance of (1-cos)/6

If there are many motors in an installation, a lot of reactive power will be consumed and therefore the power factor will be lower. For this reason, power suppliers sometimes require the power factor of an installation to be raised. This is done by connecting capacitors to the supply which absorb reactive power and thus raise the power factor.
4.7.1 Phase compensation

With phase compensation, the capacitors are usually connected in parallel with the motor, or group of motors. However, in some cases, overcompensation can cause an induction motor to self-excite and run as a generator. Therefore, to avoid complications, it is normal practice not to compensate for more than the no-load current of the motor. The capacitors must not be connected in parallel with single phases of the winding; such an arrangement may make the motor difficult or impossible to start with star starting.

67

4. Electrical design

4.7.1 Phase compensation

If a two-speed motor with separate windings has phase compensation on both windings, the capacitors should not remain in circuit on the unused winding. Under certain circumstances, such capacitors can cause increased heating of the winding and possibly also vibration.

The following formula is used to calculate the size (per phase) of a capacitor for a mains frequency of 50 Hz:

Q C = 3.2 . 106 .
where

U2

C = capacitance, F U = capacitor voltage, V Q = reactive power, kvar.

The reactive power is obtained using the formula: Q=K.P where

K = constant from table on right P = rated power of motor, kW

5.3 Bearings

Motors are normally fitted with single row deep groove ball bearings. The complete bearing designation is stated on the rating plate of most motor types. If the bearing in the D-end of the motor is replaced with a roller bearing NU- or NJ-, higher radial forces can be handled. Roller bearings are especially suitable for belt drive applications. When there are high axial forces, angular-contact ball bearings should be used. This version is available on request. When ordering a motor with angular-contact bearings, the method of mounting and direction and magnitude of the axial force must be specified. Please see the respective product catalog for more specific details about bearings.
Bearing life

The normal life L10 of a bearing is defined, according to ISO, as the number of operating hours achieved or exceeded by 90 per cent of identical bearings in a large test series under certain specific conditions. 50 per cent of the bearings achieve at least five times this figure.
Bearing size

Reliability is the main criteria for bearing size design, taking into account the most common types of application, load of the motor and motor size. ABB uses 63 series bearings which are of robust design for longer life and higher loadability. 62 series bearings have lower noise levels, higher maximum speeds, and lower losses.

Noise

6 Noise

6.1 Noise reduction

Noise is subject to strict regulations today, with maximum permitted levels. Accordingly, we make noise reduction a major design criterion in the development of our motors.
6.2 Noise components

The principal noise components in a motor are the fan and the magnetic circuit. At high speeds and high outputs, the noise of the fan dominates. At low speeds, the magnetic circuit dominates. In slip-ring motors, the brushes and slip-rings also add noise.

Components that raise noise level

85

6 Noise

6.2.1 Fan

Fan noise can be reduced by an optimized fan design. Similarly, increasing the overall efficiency of the motor enables the fan diameter to be reduced. However, the fan must be large enough to generate sufficient air flow to ensure adequate cooling of the motor. The noise level of larger motors can be reduced by fitting a silencer. On larger 2 pole motors, an unidirectional fan which rotates in one direction only and so generates less noise, can be used. ABB can advise you on the best solution for your specific application.
6.2.2 Magnetic noise

ABB Motors new electrical design reduces magnetic noise.

6.3 Airborne and structure borne noise

Noise can be propagated in two ways. Airborne noise caused by the fan is propagated by air. Structure borne noise is caused by the bearings, and by magnetic noise vibrating through the motor frame, foundation, walls and any pipework.
6.3.1 Airborne noise

Depending on the application, airborne noise can be reduced by fitting a silencer, a unidirectional fan or by installing a water cooled motor. For instance, choosing an air-water cooled version has a far lower noise level at high outputs and is far cheaper than a totally enclosed air-air cooled version. A totally enclosed version with separate cooling air supply and exhaust usually has the same noise level as a water cooled version, and costs even less. And as larger motors are often installed in separate rooms, the noise level is of secondary importance.

86

6 Noise

6.3.2 Structure borne noise

An effective method of eliminating structure borne noise is to mount accurately dimensioned vibration dampers. Choosing vibration dampers arbitrarily, could, however, worsen the noise problem.
6.3.3 Low noise motors

Most manufacturers offer low noise versions of large motors and motors for high speeds. However to achieve low noise, the motor design is modified in ways which may impair cooling. In certain cases, a larger motor may be necessary to deliver the required output, and so increase the cost. The cost of a low noise motor should therefore be weighed against the cost of other noise reducing measures that can be applied to the plant.
6.4 Sound pressure level and sound power level

Sound is pressure waves sent out by an object through the medium (usually air) in which it is immersed. The sound pressure is measured in dB during a noise test. The difference between the sound pressure detectable by the human ear, and the human pain threshold is 1:10,000,000. As the difference in pressure is so great and we experience a 10 dB difference as a doubling of the sound level, a logarithmic scale is employed where:
sound pressure level Lp = 10 log (P/P0)2 dB P0 = 2* 10 - 5 (Pa) minimum detectable noise P = measured pressure (Pa)

87

6 Noise

6.4 Sound pressure level and sound power level

The sound pressure is measured in a test room to eliminate reflected noise and external sources. A microphone is variously placed 1 meter from the motor to measure sound from different directions. As the noise level varies in different directions due to the influence of the sources, a tolerance of 3 dB (A) is applicable for the average sound pressure level. The measured sound level (Lp) can be converted into power radiated from the sound source, to determine the sound power level (Lw). The formula for this is: Lw = Lp + Ls (Ls is calculated from the measuring surface, acc to DIN).
6.5 Weighting filters

Amplifiers and various filters are used when measuring the composite sound. The dB figures measured in this way have (A), (B), or (C) added after them, depending on which filter is used. Normally only the dB (A) figure is given. This corresponds most closely with the perception of the ear. The filters pass the entire frequency range, but attenuate or amplify certain parts of it. The filter characteristics correspond to stylized 40-, 70- and 100-phon curves for pure tones. Information on sound pressure level is meaningful only if the distance from the sound source is stated. For example, 80 dB(A) at a distance of one meter from a point sound source corresponds to 70 dB(A) at three meters.
6.6 Octave bands

The mean sound pressure level is measured with a broad band filter covering the entire frequency band. Measurement is also done with a
88

6 Noise

6.6 Octave bands

narrow band filter to define the noise level per octave band (frequency band), as the perception of the human ear is dependent on the octave band.
Octave band analysis

To get an idea of the character of the composite sound, it has proven practical to divide up the frequency range into octave bands with a ratio of 1:2 between the band limit frequencies. The frequency range is usually referred to by the mid-frequency of the band. The measured dB figures for all octave bands, the octave band levels, are generally shown in the form of an octave band diagram. A system of noise rating curves, known as NR curves, has been developed under ISO to express the subjective degree of disturbance of different noises. These curves are intended to be used when assessing the risk of damage to hearing. Similar systems are also available. NR curve numbers signify the degree of noise. For the octave band with a mid-frequency of 1,000 Hz, the number is equal to the sound pressure level in dB. The NR curve that touches the noise curve of the motor in question determines the motors noise rating. The table below illustrates the use of noise rating. It shows how long a person can remain in a noisy environment without suffering permanent hearing damage.

NR 85 90 95 105 120

Time per day > 5 hours = 5 hours = 2 hours < 20 minutes < 5 minutes

89

6 Noise

6.7 Converter duty

At converter duty, the motor noise produced in certain octave bands can change considerably, depending on the switching frequency of the converter. The converter does not produce a sinusoidal voltage. However, as ABB Direct Torque Control converters do not have a fixed switching frequency, the noise level is much lower than would be the case if a fixed switching frequency converter were used with the same motor.

90

6 Noise

6.8 Additional sound sources 6.8.1 Perception of difference in sound level

A difference of 1 dB in sound level is barely detectable, whereas a 10 dB difference is perceived as a doubling or halving of the sound level. The table (position) illustrates the sound pressure level when several sources of sound are present. For example, diagram A shows that the sound pressure level will be 3 dB higher if the sound level of two identical sources are added together. Diagram B shows how the sound level pressure changes when the sound sources have different pressure levels. However, before logarithmic values can be added or subtracted, they must be converted into absolute numbers. An easier way of adding or subtracting sound sources is to use the diagrams below.

Adding several equal sound sources. Adding together two such sources increases the total level by 3 dB; adding together four increases it by 6 dB, and so on.

Adding two different levels. When the difference between the two sound pressure levels is greater than 10 dB, the lower level contributes so little to the total sound pressure level it may be disregarded.

7. Installation and maintenance

7.1 Delivery acceptance

Please note every motor must be installed and maintained in accordance with the Machine Instructions booklet which is included with the motor on delivery. The installation and maintenance instructions in this chapter are for guideline purposes only. 1. Please inspect equipment for transit damage on delivery, and if found, inform the forwarding agent immediately. 2. Check all rating plate data, especially the voltage and winding connection (Y or ). 3. Remove transit locking, if fitted, and turn shaft by hand to check for free rotation.
7.2 Insulation resistance check

Before commissioning the motor, or when winding dampness is suspected, measure the insulation resistance. Resistance, measured at 25 C, must be greater than the reference value where
Ri > 20 X U + 2P M ohm (measured with 500 V DC Megger) 1000

where U = voltage, Volts; P = output power, kW

WARNING

Windings should be discharged immediately after measuring to avoid risk of electric shock. The insulation resistance reference value is halved for each 20 C rise in ambient temperature. If the reference resistance value is not attained, the winding is too damp, and must be oven dried at 90 C for 12-16 hours, followed by 105 C for 6-8 hours. NB Drain hole plugs, if fitted must always be removed before oven drying. If the dampness is caused by sea water, the winding should be rewound.

Operating conditions

Motors are designed for use in industrial drive applications. Normal ambient temperature range -25 C to + 40 C. Maximum altitude 1,000 m above sea level.
Safety

All motors must be installed and operated by qualified personnel familiar with all relevant safety requirements. Safety, and accident prevention equipment required by local health and safety regulations must always be provided at the mounting and operating site.
WARNING

Small motors with supply current directly switched by thermally sensitive switches can start automatically.
Accident prevention

Never stand on a motor. To prevent burns, the outer casing must never be touched during operation. Special instructions may also apply to certain special motor applications (e.g. frequency converter supply). Always use lifting lugs to lift the motor.

7.5 Handling
Storage

s Motors should always be stored in a dry, vibration free and dust free environment. s Unprotected machined surfaces (shaft-ends and flanges) should be treated with an anti-corrosive. s It is recommended that shafts are periodically rotated by hand to prevent grease migration. s Anti condensation heaters, if fitted, should preferably be energized. The characteristics of electrolytic capacitors, if fitted to single-phase motors, will require reforming if stored over 12 months.
Please contact ABB Motors for details.
Transportation

Machines fitted with cylindrical-roller and/or angular-contact bearings must be secured with locking devices during transit.

Customers are responsible for preparing the foundation for the motor. The foundation must be smooth, level and, if possible, vibration free. A concrete foundation is therefore recommended. If a metal foundation is used, this should be treated with an anti-corrosive. The foundation must be stable enough to withstand the forces that can arise in the event of a three-phase short-circuit. Short-circuit torque is primarily a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and can thus have both positive and negative values. The stress on the foundation can be calculated with the aid of the data tables in the motor catalog and the formula below.
F = 0.5 x g x m + 4 x Tmax A

where F = stress per side, N g = gravitational acceleration, 9.81 ms2 m = weight of motor, kg Tmax = maximum torque, Nm A = lateral distance between the holes in the motor feet, m. The dimension is taken from the dimension drawing and is expressed in meters. The foundation should be dimensioned to afford a sufficiently large resonance gap between the natural frequency of the installation and any interference frequencies.
7.6.1 Foundation studs

The motor should be secured with foundation studs or a base plate. Motors for belt drives should be mounted on slide rails. The foundation studs are bolted to the feet of the motor once the locating pins have been inserted in the holes reamed for the purpose. The studs must be fitted to the right feet with a 1-2 mm shim between the stud and the feet; see the markings on the studs and on the stator feet. Place the motor on the foundation and align the coupling. With a

spirit level check that the shaft is horizontal. The height of the stator frame can be adjusted with either setting screws or shims. When you are quite sure alignment is correct, grout the blocks.
7.7 Coupling alignment

Motors must always be aligned accurately. This is particularly important in the case of directly coupled motors. Incorrect alignment can lead to bearing failure, vibration, and even shaft fracture. In the event of bearing failure or if vibration is detected, the alignment should be checked immediately. The best way of achieving proper alignment is to mount a pair of dial gauges as shown (page 100). Each gauge is on a coupling half, and they indicate the difference between the coupling halves both axially and radially. Slowly rotating the shafts while observing the gauge readings, gives an indication of the adjustments that need to be made. The coupling halves must be loosely bolted together so that they can easily follow each other when they are turned. To determine whether the shafts are parallel, measure with a feeler gauge the distance x between the outer edges of the coupling halves at a point on the periphery: see page 100. Then turn both halves together through 90, without changing the relative positions of the shafts, and measure again at exactly the same point. Measure the distance again after 180 and 270 rotation. For typical coupling sizes, the difference between the highest and lowest readings must not exceed 0.05 mm. To check that the shaft centres are directly opposite each other, place a steel rule parallel with the shafts on the turned periphery of one coupling half and then measure the clearance between the periphery of the other half and the rule in four positions as a parallelism check. The difference between the highest and lowest readings must not exceed 0.05 mm.

7.7 Coupling alignment

When aligning a motor with a machine whose frame reaches a different temperature to the motor in normal service, allowance must be made for the difference in shaft height resulting from different thermal expansion. For the motor, the increase in height is about 0.03 % from ambient temperature to operating temperature at full output. Mounting instructions from manufacturers of pumps, gear units etc. often state the vertical and lateral displacement of the shaft at operating temperature. It is important to bear in mind this information to avoid vibration and other problems in service.

7.7.1 Mounting pulleys and coupling halves

Care must be taken when fitting pulleys and coupling halves to prevent damage to bearings. They must never be forced into place or levered out. A coupling half or pulley that is a push fit on the shaft can be pushed on by hand for about half the length of the shaft extension. A special tool or fully-threaded bolt, a nut and two flat pieces of metal, are then used to push it fully home against the shoulder of the shaft.

7.8 Slide rails

Motors for belt drives should be mounted on slide rails as shown in figure 2. The slide rails should be placed horizontally on the same level. Then position the motor and slide rails on the foundation and align them such that the middle of the motor pulley coincides with the middle of the pulley on the driven machine. Check the motor shaft is parallel with the drive shaft, and tension the belt in accordance with supplier instructions. Do not exceed the maximum belt forces (i.e. radial bearing loads) stated in the product catalog. The slide rail nearest the belt must be positioned such that the tensioning screw is between the motor and the driven machine. The screw in the other slide rail must be on the other side. See figure. After alignment, grout in the slide rail fixing bolts.
WARNING

Do not over-tension the belts. Excessive belt tension can damage bearings and cause shaft fracture.

Positions of slide rails for belt drive.

With belt drive the shafts must be parallel and the pulleys must be in line.

7.9 Mounting bearings

Always take special care with bearings. Bearings should be fitted by heating or purpose made tools, and removed with pullers. When a bearing is to be mounted on a shaft, cold or hot mounting may be used. Cold mounting is only suitable for small bearings and bearings that do not have to be pressed far on to the shaft. For hot mounting and where the bearing is an interference fit on the shaft, the bearing is first heated in an oil bath or with a special heater. It is then pressed onto the shaft with a mounting sleeve that fits the inner ring of the bearing. Grease-filled bearings, which usually have sealing plates or shield plates, should not be heated.

7.10 Lubrication

ABB Motors policy is to have reliability as a vital issue in bearing design as well as in bearing lubrication systems. That is why we, as standard, follow the L1-principle (meaning that 99 per cent of the motors are sure to make the interval time). The lubrication intervals can also be calculated according to L10-policy which means that 90 per cent of the motors are sure to make the interval time. L 10-values, which are normally doubled compared to L1-values, are available from ABB Motors at request.

Motors up to frame size 180 are normally fitted with permanently greased bearings of type Z or 2Z.
Guidelines for bearing lifetime:

Selecting a motor

9. Selecting a motor

9.1 Motor type

The two fundamental variables to consider when selecting a motor are: s The electricity supply to which the motor will be connected s The type of enclosure or housing
Type of enclosure

There are two basic enclosure options available: drip proof in steel or totally enclosed, in aluminum, steel and cast iron. The totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor is the predominant standard for industrial applications today. The versatile TEFC is fully enclosed within the motor frame, with cooling air directed over it by an externally mounted fan.
List ABB motors: Standard three phase motors IEC and NEMA Hazardous area motors Marine motors Open drip proof motors Single phase motors Brake motors Integral motors Windmill generators Water cooled motors Roller table motors Fan application motors Smoke venting motors High speed motors Traction motors Reluctance motors

9.2 Loading (kW)

Loading is determined by the equipment to be driven, and the torque available at the shaft. Electric motors have standard outputs per frame size.
9.3 Speed

The induction motor is a fixed single speed machine. Its speed is dependent on the frequency of the electricity supply and the stator winding design.

115

No load speed is slightly lower than synchronous speed due to the no load losses in the machine. Full load speed is typically a further 3-4 per cent lower than no load speed.

10. Variable speed drives

10.1 General

Squirrel cage induction motors offer excellent availability, reliability and efficiency. However, they have two weaknesses; starting performance and smooth speed control over a wide range. A motor with a frequency converter - variable speed drive (VSD) - solves both these problems. A variable speed drive motor can be started softly with low starting current, and the speed can be controlled and adjusted to suit the application demand without steps over a wide range. Manufacturers are increasingly recognizing the tremendous advantages VSD delivers. Today VSDs account for about 10 per cent of motor drives and this is expected to rise to 25 per cent in the year 2005. The principal advantages of VSD: s Optimal speed and control accuracy to deliver major energy savings (typically 50 per cent). s Lower maintenance s Higher production quality and greater productivity.

121

10. Variable speed drives

10.2 Converters

Converters are power electronic devices which convert input AC power at fixed voltage and frequency into output electric power with variable voltage and frequency. Direct or indirect converters are used, depending on the solution employed.
10.2.1 Direct converters

Direct converters such as cyclo-converters and matrix converters change the input directly to output with no intermediate links. Cyclo-converters are used in high power applications (MW range) and at low frequencies.
10.2.2 Indirect converters

Indirect converters are either current source, or voltage source converters. In a current-source converter (CSC), the intermediate link acts as a dccurrent source and the output consists of controlled current pulses at continuously variable frequency which are fed to different phases of the three-phase system. This enables stepless speed control of the motor. In a voltage-source converter (VSC), the dc link acts as a dc-voltage network and the output is a voltage pulse, or voltage pulse sequence.
10.3 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)

ABB variable speed drives use Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) with variable swiching frequency voltage source converters as these best meet the majority of requirements. In a PWM drive, the rectifier converts the input line power which has a nominally fixed voltage and frequency to fixed voltage dc power. This fixed voltage dc power is then filtered to reduce the ripple voltage resulting from the rectification of the ac line. The inverter then changes the fixed voltage dc power to ac output power with adjustable voltage and frequency.

Rectifier

Inverter unit

A complete dimensioning program for drives and motors are availiable on a CD. Below here is a brief information about motor and converter selection.
Motor selection

The motor selected should have a specified load torque totally below the guideline for the converter to be used. However, if operation will not be continuous in all speed range duty points, the load curve may exceed the guideline. In which case, special dimensioning is required. Further, the maximum torque must be at least 40 per cent higher than the load torque at any frequency, and the maximum permissible speed of the motor must not be exceeded.
Motor design

Converters with different working principles, modulation patterns and switching frequencies give different performances for the same motor.

123

10. Variable speed drives

10.4 Dimensioning the drive

As performance and behavior is also dependent on the motor design and construction, motors of the same size and output power but of different design, may behave quite differently with the same converter.
Converter selection

The converter should be selected according to the nominal power P N of the motor. The rated current of the converter must also be that of the motor selected.

124

10. Variable speed drives

10.5 Loadability (torque)

Both theoretical calculations and laboratory tests show that the continuous maximum load (torque) of a converter driven motor is mainly dependent on the modulation pattern and switching frequency of the converter. The tables below offer guidelines for motor selection.

Motor Loadability with ACS600. Standard aluminum and cast iron motors

These guidelines present the maximum continuous load torque of a motor as a function of frequency (speed) to give the same temperature rise as with rated sinusoidal voltage supply at nominal frequency and full rated load. The temperature rise is normally class B. If the ABB catalogue indicates that class F temperature rise is utilized on sinusoidal supply, according to the guidelines, the converter drive also utilizes class F temperature rise. For general applications, the following motors from the ABB range (IP 55) can be used with frequency converters: s Standard aluminum motors s Standard cast iron motors s Standard flameproof motors type EEx de, EEx d. For pump and fan applications, standard steel motors (IP 55) and open drip proof motors (IP 23) can be used.

125

10. Variable speed drives

10.5 Loadability (torque)

Slip ring motors are not recommended for converter applications. Please note that in critical conditions, frequency converter application may require a special rotor design in frame sizes 355 and 400. Torque is reduced due to extra heating from harmonics and a decrease in cooling according to frequency range. Loadability can therefore be improved by more effective cooling, filtering the converter output voltage and by special rotor design
s More effective cooling

More effective cooling is achieved by mounting a separate constant speed cooling fan, which is especially beneficial at low speeds. Selecting a fan motor speed and fan design to deliver a higher cooling effect than that of the standard motor at nominal speed, will give an improved cooling effect over the entire speed range. Liquid cooling (water cooled motors) is another very effective cooling method. In very demanding cases, the bearing end shields must also be cooled.
s Filtering

Filtering the converter output voltage reduces the harmonic content of the motor voltage and current and so causes less additional losses in the motor. This minimizes the need for derating. The full power of the drive and the speed range must be taken into account when dimensioning filters (additional reactances). Filters also reduce electromagnetic noise, EMC and voltage peak problems. However they do limit the maximum torque of the motor.
s Special rotor design

A motor with a rotor cage and rotor bars specifically designed for converter drive performs better in a converter drive but less well in normal network application.

126

10. Variable speed drives

10.6 Insulation level

In a PWM converter, the output voltage (or current) is a voltage (current) pulse or pattern of pulses. Depending on the type of power components and the design of power circuit, a considerable overshoot is developed at the voltage pulse leading edge. The insulation level must, therefore, always be checked using the following simple rules: s If the nominal voltage of the supply network is up to 500 V, no insulation strengthening is required for standard ABB induction motors s If the network voltage is 525-690 V, reinforced motor insulation is recommended If the rated voltage is 500-575 V, the need for reinforced insulation will depend on the drive, especially the converter type and size, the motor size, and the cable length between the motor and converter terminals.
10.7 Earthing

In a converter drive special attention must be paid to the earthing arrangements to ensure: s Proper action of all protective devices and relays for general safety s Minimum or acceptable level of electromagnetic interference s Acceptable level of bearing voltages to avoid bearing currents and bearing failures.

127

10. Variable speed drives

10.8 High speed operation

In a frequency converter drive the actual speed of the motor may deviate considerably from its rated speed. For higher speed operation, the maximum permissible speed of the motor type - or critical speed of the entire equipment must not be exceeded.
The maximum permissible speeds for basic motors are as follows: Frame size 63-100 112-200 225-280 315, 2-pole 315, other pole numbers 355, 400 2-pole 355, 400 other pole numbers Speed r/min 6000 4500 3600 3600 3000 3600 2500

When high speed operation exceeds the nominal speed of the motor, the maximum torque and bearing construction should also be checked.
10.8.1 Maximum torque

In the field weakening area, the voltage of the motor is constant, but the motor flux and the capability to produce torque reduces rapidly when the frequency is increased. At the highest speed point (or at any other duty point in the field weakening area), the maximum (breakdown) torque must be not less than 40 per cent higher than the load torque. If filters or additional reactances are used between the converter and the motor, the voltage drop of the fundamental voltage with full load current must be taken into account.
10.8.2 Bearing construction

There is a limit to the speed at which rolling bearings can be operated. Bearing type and size, internal design, load, lubrication and cooling conditions, plus cage design, accuracy and internal clearance, all influence the permissible maximum speed.

10.8.3 Lubrication

In general, the limit is set by the operating temperature with respect to the lubricant and bearing component. Changing the bearings enables higher speeds. However, if this is done, the lubrication should also be upgraded.
10.8.3 Lubrication

The sheer strength of the lubricant is determined by its base oil viscosity and thickener, which, in turn, determines the permissible operating speed for the particular bearing. The maximum speed can be increased by using high speed greases or oil lubrication. Very accurate lubrication with small quantities also reduces the bearing friction and heat generation.
10.8.4 Fan noise

Fan noise increases with the speed of the motor and generally becomes dominant at 50 Hz for 2- and 4-pole motors. If the motor speed further increases, the noise level will also be higher. The noise level increase can be calculated approximately using the following formula:
Lsp = 60 x log n2 n1 dB (A)

where Lsp = increase of the sound pressure level when the speed is changed from n1 to n2. Fan noise is typically white noise, i.e. containing all frequencies within the audible frequency range. Fan noise can be reduced by either: s Replacing the fan (and fan cover) with a reduced outer diameter fan s Using a unidirectional fan s Fitting a silencer

10.9 Balancing

The balancing accuracy and mechanical strength of all rotating parts should be checked if the standard motor speed limit is to be exceeded. All other parts mounted on the motor shaft, such as coupling halves and pulleys must also be carefully balanced.
10.10 Critical speeds

The first critical speed of a standard motor must never be exceeded, and a safety margin of 25 per cent allowed.
10.11 Shaft seals

All rubbing shaft seals (V-rings, oil seals, sealed bearings RS, etc.) have a recommended maximum speed limit. If this is below the proposed high speed operation, non-rubbing labyrinth seals should be used.
10.12 Low speed operation

10.12.1 Lubrication

At very low speeds, the motors ventilation fan loses its cooling capacity. If the operational temperature of the motor bearings is 80 C, (check by measuring the surface temperature of the bearing endshields), shorter relubrication intervals or special grease (Extreme Pressure (EP) grease or high temperature lubricant) should be used. The relubrication interval should be halved for each 15 C increase in the bearing temperature above + 70 C.
10.12.2 Cooling capacity

The air flow and cooling capacity depends on the fan speed. A separate constant speed fan can be used to increase cooling capacity and motor loadability at low speeds. As the internal cooling is not affected by an outer separate fan, a small reduction in loadability is still necessary at very low speeds.

10.12.3 Electromagnetic noise

The harmonic components of the frequency converter voltage increase the magnetic noise level of the motor. The frequency range of these magnetic force waves can cause structural resonance in the motor, especially steel frame ones. Magnetic noise can be reduced by: s Increasing the switching frequency, giving higher order harmonics and lower amplitudes, less sensitive to the human ear s Filtering the harmonic components at the converter output filter or in additional reactances s Motor silencer s Separate cooling system with white fan noise which masks the magnetic noise.
