2 Safety and Conformity

NOTE
2.1 Safety Precautions
Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed of together with domestic waste. It must be separately collected with electrical and electronic waste according to local and currently valid legislation. MCC 101/102 Design Guide

2 2

Never attempt to repair a defect filter.

The filters presented in this design guide are specially designed and tested for Danfoss Drives frequency converters (FC 102/202/301 and 302). Danfoss takes no resposibility for the use of third party output filters.

NOTE

NOTE

The phased out LC-filters that were developed for the VLT5000 series and are not compatible with the VLT FCseries frequency converters. However, the new filters are compatible with both FC-series and VLT 5000-series

NOTE
2.1.1 CE Conformity and Labelling
What is CE Conformity and Labelling? The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced the CE label as a simple way of showing whether a product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the specifications or quality of the product. The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC) Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The directive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances used in the 50 - 1000 V AC and the 75 - 1500 V DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity upon request. Warnings

690V applications: For motors not specially designed for frequency converter operation or without double insulation, Danfoss highly recommend the use of either du/dt or Sine-Wave filters.

NOTE

Sine-wave filters can be used at switching frequencies higher than the nominal switching frequency, but should never be used at switching frequencies with less than 20% lower than the nominal switching frequency.

du/dt filters, unlike Sine-wave filters, can be used at lower switching frequency than the nominal switching frequency, but higher switching frequency will cause the overheating of the filter and should be avoided.

NOTE

CAUTION
When in use the filter surface temperature rises. DO NOT touch the filter during operation.

WARNING
Never work on a filter in operation. Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from the drive or motor.

CAUTION
Before servicing the filter, wait at least the voltage discharge time stated in the Design Guide for the corresponding VLT to avoid electrical shock hazard.

3 Introduction to Output Filters

3.1 Why use Output Filters
This chapter describes why and when to use Output Filters with Danfoss Drives frequency converters. It is divided into three sections:

the motor cable (type, cross-section, length, screened or unscreened, inductance and capacitance) the high frequency surge impendance of the motor

3 3

Protection of Motor Insulation Reduction of Motor Acoustic Noise Reduction of High Frequency Electromagnetic Noise in Motor Cable

3.2 Protection of Motor Insulation 3.2.1 The Output Voltage

The output voltage of the frequency converter is a series of trapezoidal pulses with a variable width (pulse width modulation) characterized by a pulse rise-time tr. When a transistor in the inverter switches, the voltage across the motor terminal increases by a du/dt ratio that depends on:

Because of the impedance mismatch between the cable characteristic impedance and the motor surge impedance a wave reflection occurs, causing a ringing voltage overshoot at the motor terminals - see following illustration. The motor surge impedance decreases with the increase of motor size resulting in reduced mismatch with the cable impedance. The lower reflection coefficient () reduces the wave reflection and thereby the voltage overshoot. In the case of parallel cables the cable characteristic impedance is reduced, resulting in a higher reflection coefficient higher overshoot. For more information please see IEC61800-8.

Output Filters Design Guide

Typical values for the rise time and peak voltage UPEAK are measured on the motor terminals between two phases. Two different definitions for the risetime tr are used in practice. The international IEC standards define the rise-time as the time between 10 % to 90 % of the peak voltage Upeak. The US National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) defines the rise-time as the time between 10 % and 90 % of the final, settled voltage, that is equal to the DC link voltage UDC. See following illustrations. To obtain approximate values for cable lengths and voltages not mentioned below, use the following rules of thumb: 1. 2. Rise time increases with cable length. UPEAK = DC link voltage x (1+); represents the reflection coefficient and typical values can be found in table below (DC link voltage = Mains voltage x 1.35). du/dt = du/dt =

Various standards and technical specifications present limits of the admissible Upeak and tr for different motor types. Some of the most used limit lines are shown in the figure below:

IEC60034-17 limit line for general purpose motors when fed by frequency converters, 500V motors. IEC60034-25 limit for converter rated motors: curve A is for 500V motors and curve B is for 690V motors. NEMA MG1 Definite purpose Inverter Fed Motors.

Table 3.1 Typical values for reflection coefficients (IEC61800-8).

If, in your application, the resulting Upeak and tr exceed the limits that apply for the motor used, an output filter should be used for protecting the motor insulation.

3.3 Reduction of Motor Acoustic Noise

The acoustic noise generated by motors has three main sources: 1. 2. 3. The magnetic noise produced by the motor core, through magnetostriction The noise produced by the motor bearings The noise produced by the motor ventilation

3.4 Reduction of High Frequency Electromagnetic Noise in the Motor Cable

When no filters are used, the ringing voltage overshoot that occurs at the motor terminals is the main high-frequency noise source. This can be seen in the figure below that shows the correlation between the frequency of the voltage ringing at the motor terminals and the spectrum of the highfrequency conducted interference in the motor cable. Besides this noise component, there are also other noise components such as:

3 3

When a motor is fed by a frequency converter, the pulsewidth modulated (PWM) voltage applied to the motor causes additional magnetic noise at the switching frequency and harmonics of the switching frequency (mainly the double of the switching frequency). In some applications this is not acceptable. In order to eliminate this additional switching noise, a sine-wave filter should be used. This will filter the pulse shaped voltage from the frequency converter and provide a sinusoidal phase-to-phase voltage at the motor terminals.

The common-mode voltage between phases and ground (at the switching frequency and its harmonics) - high amplitude but low frequency. High-frequency noise (above 10MHz) caused by the switching of semiconductors - high frequency but low amplitude.

Illustration 3.5 Correlation between the frequency of the ringing voltage overshoot and the spectrum of noise emissions.

Output Filters Design Guide

When an output filter is installed following effect is achieved:

3.5.1 Mitigation of Premature Bearing WearOut

There are a number of measures that can be taken for preventing premature wearing and damage of the bearings (not all of them are applicable in all cases combinations can be used). These measures aim either to provide a lowimpedance return path to the high-frequency currents or to electrically isolate the motor shaft for preventing currents through the bearings. Besides, there are also mechanical related measures. Measures to provide a low-impedance return path

In the case of du/dt filters the frequency of the ringing oscillation is reduced below 150kHz. In the case of sine-wave filters the ringing oscillation is completely eliminated and the motor is fed by a sinusoidal phase-to-phase voltage.

3 3

Remember, that the other two noise components are still present. The use of unshielded motor cables is possible, but the layout of the installation should prevent noise coupling between the unshielded motor cable and the mains line or other sensitive cables (sensors, communication, etc.). This can be achieved by cable segregation and placement of the motor cable in a separate, continuous and grounded cable tray.

3.5 What are Bearing Currents and Shaft Voltages?

Fast switching transistors in the frequency converter combined with an inherent common-mode voltage (voltage between phases and ground) generate high-frequency bearing currents and shaft voltages. While bearing currents and shaft voltages can also occur in direct-on-line motors, these phenomena are accentuated when the motor is fed from a frequency converter. The majority of bearing damages in motors fed by frequency converters are because of vibrations, misalignment, excessive axial or radial loading, improper lubrication, impurities in the grease. In some cases, bearing damages are caused by bearing currents and shaft voltages. The mechanism that causes bearing currents and shaft voltages is quite intricate and beyond the scope of this Design Guide. Basically, two main mechanisms can be identified:

Follow EMC installation rules strictly. A good highfrequency return path should be provided between motor and frequency converter, for example by using shielded cables. Make sure that the motor is properly grounded and the grounding has a low-impedance for highfrequency currents. Provide a good high-frequency ground connection between motor chassis and load. Use shaft grounding brushes. Use isolated bearings (or at least one isolated bearing at the non-driving end NDE). Prevent shaft ground current by using isolated couplings. Make sure that the motor and load are properly aligned. Make sure the loading of the bearing (axial and radial) is within the specifications. Check the vibration level in the bearing. Check the grease in the bearing and make sure the bearing is correctly lubricated for the given operating conditions.

Measures that isolated the motor shaft from the load

Mechanical measures

Capacitive coupling: the voltage across the bearing is generated by parasitic capacitances in the motor. Inductive coupling: caused by circulating currents in the motor.

The grease film of a running bearing behaves like isolation. The voltage across the bearing can cause a breakdown of the grease film and produce a small electric discharge (a spark) between the bearing balls and the running track. This discharge produces a microscopic melting of the bearing ball and running track metal and in time it causes the premature wear-out of the bearing. This mechanism is called Electrical Discharge Machining or EDM.

One of the mitigation measures is to use filters. This can be used in combination with other measures, such as those presented above. High-frequency common-mode (HF-CM) filters (core kits) are specially designed for reducing bearing stress. Sine-wave filters also have a good effect. dU/dt filters have less effect and it is recommended to use them in combination with HF-CM cores.

3.5.2 Measuring Electric Discharges in the Motor Bearings

The occurrence of electric discharges in the motor bearings can be measured using an oscilloscope and a brush to pick up the shaft voltage. This method is difficult and the interpretation of the measured waveforms requires a deep understanding of the bearing current phenomena. An easy alternative is to use an electrical discharge detector (130B8000). Such a device consists of a loop antenna that receives signals in the frequency range of 50MHz 200MHz and a counter. Each electric discharge produces an electromagnetic wave that is detected by the instrument and the counter is incremented. If the counter displays a high number of discharges it means that there are many discharges occurring in the bearing and mitigation measures have to be taken to prevent the early wear out of the bearing. This instrument can be used for experimentally determining the exact number of cores needed to reduce bearing currents. Start with a set of 2 cores. If the discharges are not eliminated, or drastically reduced, add more cores.

The number of cores presented in the table above is a guiding value that should cover most applications with a generous safety margin. If the cores are installed on the drive terminals and you experiment core saturation because of long motor cables (the cores have no effect on bearing currents), check the correctness of the installation. If cores keep saturating after the installation is made according to EMC best practice, consider moving the cores to the motor terminals.

3.6 Which Filter for which Purpose

The table below shows a comparison of du/dt and Sine-wave filter performance. It can be used to determine which filter to use with your application.
Performance criteria Motor insulation stress du/dt filters Up to 150 m cable (screened/ unscreened) complies with the requirements of IEC60034-17 (general purpose motors). Above this cable length the risk of double pulsing (two time mains network voltage) increases. Sine-wave filters High-frequency common-mode filters

Advantages:

3.6.1 du/dt Filters

The du/dt filters consist of inductors and capacitors in a low pass filter arrangement and their cut off frequency is above the nominal switching frequency of the drive. The inductance (L) and capacitance (C) values are shown in the tables in the section Electrical Data - du/dt Filters in the chapter Selection of Output Filters. Compared to Sine-wave filters they have lower L and C values, thus they are cheaper and smaller. With a du/dt filter the voltage wave form is still pulse shaped but the current is sinusoidal - see following illustrations. Features and benefits du/dt filters reduce the voltage peaks and du/dt of the pulses at the motor terminals. The du/dt filters reduce du/dt to approx. 500V/s.

Protects the motor against high du/dt values and voltage peaks, hence prolongs the lifetime of the motor Allows the use of motors which are not specifically designed for converter operation, for example in retrofit applications

Application areas: Danfoss recommends the use of du/dt filters in the following applications:

Applications with frequent regenerative braking Motors that are not rated for frequency converter operation and not complying with IEC600034-25 Motors placed in aggressive environments or running at high temperatures Applications with risk of flash over Installations using old motors (retrofit) or general purpose motors not complying with IEC 600034-25 Applications with short motor cables (less than 15 meters) 690 V applications

Illustration 3.10 Measured du/dt values (rise time and peak voltages) with and without du/dt filter using 15m, 50m and 150m cable lengths on a 400V, 37kW induction motor.

The du/dt value decreases with the motor cable length whereas the peak voltage increases (see illustration above). The Upeak value depends on the Udc from the drive and as Udc increases during motor braking (generative) Upeak can increase to values above the limits of IEC60034-17 and thereby stress the motor insulation. Danfoss therefore recommends du/dt filters in applications with frequent braking. Furthermore the illustration above shows how the Upeak increases with the cable length. As the cable length increases, the cable capacitance rises and the cable behaves like a low-pass filter. That means longer rise-time tr for longer cables. Therefore it is recommended to use du/dt filters only in applications with cable lengths up to 150 meters. Above 150m du/dt filters have no effect. If further reduction is needed, use a sine-wave filter.

insulation and flash-over. Danfoss therefore recommends du/dt filters in applications with motor cable lengths shorter than 15m.

3.6.2 Sine-wave Filters

Sine-wave filters (are designed to) let only low frequencies pass. High frequencies are consequently shunted away which results in a sinusoidal phase to phase voltage waveform and sinusoidal current waveforms. With the sinusoidal waveforms the use of special frequency converter motors with reinforced insulation is no longer needed. The acoustic noise from the motor is also damped as a consequence of the sinusoidal wave condition. The sinewave filter also reduces insulation stress and bearing currents in the motor, thus leading to prolonged motor lifetime and longer periods between services. Sine-wave filters enable use of longer motor cables in applications where the motor is installed far from the drive. As the filter does not act between motor phases and ground, it does not reduce leakage currents in the cables. Therefore the motor cable length is limited - see table Comparison of du/dt and sine-wave filters in section Which Filters for which Purpose The Danfoss Drives Sine-wave filters are designed to operate with the VLT FC Series Drives. They replace the LC-filter product range and are backwards compatible with the VLT 5000-8000 Series Drives. They consist of inductors and capacitors in a low-pass filter arrangement. The inductance (L) and capacitance (C) values are shown in tables in the section Electrical Data - Sine -wave Filters in the chapter Selection of Output Filters. Features and benefits As described above, Sine-wave filters reduce motor insulation stress and eliminate switching acoustic noise from the motor. The motor losses are reduced because the motor is fed with a sinusoidal voltage, as shown in illustration 525V - with du/dt filter. Moreover, the filter eliminates the pulse reflections in the motor cable thus reducing the losses in the frequency converter. Advantages:

Illustration 3.11 525V - with and without du/dt filter

Illustration 3.12 690V - with and du/dt filter

Protects the motor against voltage peaks hence prolongs the lifetime Reduces the losses in the motor Eliminates acoustic switching noise from the motor Reduces semiconductor losses in the drive with long motor cables Decreases electromagnetic emissions from motor cables by eliminating high frequency ringing in the cable

Source: Test of 690V 30kW VLT FC 302 with MCC 102 du/dt filter The illustrations above show how Upeak and rise time behaves as a function of the motor cable length. In installations with short motor cables (below 5-10m) the rise time is short which causes high du/dt values. The high du/dt can cause a damaging high potential difference between the windings in the motor which can lead to breakdown of the

Reduces electromagnetic interference from unscreened motor cables Reduces the bearing current thus prolonging the lifetime of the motor

Application areas: Danfoss recommends the use of Sine-wave filters in the following applications:

Voltage and current with and without Sine-wave filter:

Applications where the acoustic switching noise from the motor has to be eliminated Retrofit installations with old motors with poor insulation Applications with frequent regenerative braking and motors that do not comply with IEC60034-17 Applications where the motor is placed in aggressive environments or running at high temperatures Applications with motor cables above 150m up to 300m (with both screened and unscreened cable). The use of motor cables longer than 300m depends on the specific application Applications where the service interval on the motor has to be increased 690V applications with general purpose motors Step up applications or other applications where the frequency converter feeds a transformer

3.6.3 High-Frequency Common-Mode Core Kits

High-frequency common-mode (HF-CM) core kits are one of the mitigation measures to reduce bearing wear. However, they should not be used as the sole mitigation measure. Even when HF-CM cores are used, the EMC-correct installation rules must be followed. The HF-CM cores work by reducing the high-frequency common-mode currents that are associated with the electric discharges in the bearing. They also reduce the high-frequency emissions from the motor cable which can be used, for example, in applications with unshielded motor cables.

Generally the output filters are designed for the nominal switching frequency of the VLT FC-Series drives.

NOTE

Sine-wave filters can be used at switching frequencies higher than the nominal switching frequency, but should never be used at switching frequencies with less than 20% lower than the nominal switching frequency.

du/dt filters, unlike Sine-wave filters, can be used at lower switching frequency than the nominal switching frequency, but higher switching frequency will cause the overheating of the filter and should be avoided.

4.1.2 HF-CM Selection

The cores can be installed at the frequency converters output terminals (U, V, W) or in the motor terminal box. When installed at the frequency converters terminals the HF-CM kit reduces both bearing stress and high-frequency electromagnetic interference from the motor cable. The number of cores depends on the motor cable length and frequency converter voltage and a selection table is shown below:
Cable A- and Blength frame [m] T5 T7 50 100 150 300 2 4 4 4 4 4 6 6 C-frame T5 2 2 4 4 T7 2 4 4 4 D-frame T5 2 4 4 4 T7 4 4 4 6 E-frame + F T5 2 2 4 4 T7 2 4 4 4

CAUTION
Check the core temperature during commissioning. A temperature above 70C indicates saturation of the cores. If this happens add more cores. If the cores still saturate it means that the cable capacitance is too large because of: too long cable, too many parallel cables, cable type with high capacitance. Applications with parallel cables When parallel cables are used the total cable length has to be considered. For example 2 x 100m cables are equivalent with one 200 m cable. If many paralleled motors are used a separate core kit should be installed for each individual motor. The ordering numbers for the core kits (2 cores/package) are given in the following table.
VLT frame size Danfoss part no. Core dimension [mm] W w 43 H 40 61 h d Weight Packaging dimension [kg] [mm] 130x100x 70 190x100x 70 235x190x 140 290x260x 110

When installed in the motor terminal box the HF-CM kit reduces only bearing stress and has no effect on the electromagnetic interference from the motor cable. Two cores is sufficient in most cases, independent of the motor cable length. Danfoss provides the HF-CM cores in kits of two pieces/kit. The cores are oval shaped for the ease of installation and are available in four sizes: for A and B frames, for C frames, for D frames, for E and F-frames. For F-frame drives one core kit shall be installed at each inverter module terminals. Mechanical mounting can be made with cable ties. There are no special requirements regarding mechanical mounting.

In normal operation the temperature is below 70C. However, if the cores are saturated they can get hot, with temperatures above 70C. Therefore it is important to use the correct number of cores to avoid saturation. Saturation can occur if the motor cable is too long, motor cables are paralleled or high capacitance motor cables, not suitable for frequency converter operation, are used. Always avoid motor cables with sector-shaped cores. Use only cables with roundshaped cores.

5.1 Mechanical Mounting 5.1.1 Safety Requirements for Mechanical Installation

WARNING
Pay attention to the requirements that apply to integration and field mounting kit. Observe the information in the list to avoid serious damage or injury, especially when installing large units. The filter is cooled by natural convection. To protect the unit from overheating it must be ensured that the ambient temperature does not exceed the maximum temperature stated for the filter. Locate the maximum temperature in the paragraph Derating for Ambient Temperature. If the ambient temperature is in the range of 45C - 55C, derating of the filter will become relevant.

5 5

Illustration 5.1 Correct installation

5.1.2 Mounting

All wall mounted filters must be mounted vertically with the terminals at the bottom. Do not mount the filter close to other heating elements or heat sensitive material (such as wood) The filter can be side-mounted with the frequency converter. There is no requirement for spacing between the filter and frequency converter. Top and bottom clearance is minimum 100mm (200mm for foot print filters). The surface temperature of IP20/23 units does not exceed 70C. The surface temperature of IP00 filters can exceed 70C and a hot surface warning label is placed on the filter.
PE U V W

Illustration 5.2 Wrong installation. The PE should not go through the core.

Mechanical installation of HF-CM The HF-CM cores have an oval shape to allow easier installation. They should be placed around the three motor phases (U, V and W). It is important to put all three motor phases through the core, else the core will saturate. It is also important not to put the PE or any grounding wires through the core, else the core will loose its effect. In most applications several cores have to be stacked.

The cores can vibrate due to the alternating magnetic field. When close to the cables isolation or other parts, it is possible that the vibration causes the wearing of the core or cable isolation material. Use cable ties to secure the cores and cable.

How to Install

Output Filters Design Guide

5.1.3 Earthing
The filter must be earthed before switching the power on (high leakage currents). Common mode interferences are kept small by ensuring that the current return path to the VLT has the lowest possible impedance.

unscreened cables are employed it should be ensured that the installation minimizes the possibility of cross-couplings with other cables carrying sensitive signals. This can be achieved by measures such as cable segregation and mounting in earthed cable trays.

Choose the best earthing possibility (e.g. cabinet mounting panel) Use the enclosed (in accessory bag) protective earth terminal to ensure the best possible earthing Remove any paint present to ensure good electrical contact Ensure that the filter and frequency converter make solid electrical contact (high frequency earthing) The filter must be earthed before switching the power on (high leakage currents)

The cable screen must be solidly connected at both ends to the chassis (e.g. housing of filter and motor). When IP00 filters are installed in cabinets and screened cables are used, the screen of the motor cable should be terminated at the cabinet cable entry point. All screen connections must exhibit the smallest possible impedance, i.e. solid, large area connections, both ends of screened cable. For maximum cable length between VLT and output filter: Below 7.5kW: 2m Between 7,5 - 90kW: 5-10m Above 90kW: 10-15m

5 5

5.1.4 Screening
It is recommended to use screened cables to reduce the radiation of electromagnetic noise into the environment and prevent malfunctions in the installation.

NOTE

The cable between frequency converter and filter should be kept as short as possible

Cable between the frequency converter output (U, V, W) and filter input (U1, V1, W1) to be screened or twisted. Use preferably screened cables between the filter output (U2, V2, W2) and the motor. When

NOTE

More than 10m is possible but Danfoss strongly discourge such installations, due to the risk of increased EMI and voltage spikes on the filter terminals.

Illustration 5.3 Wiring diagram

For F-frame drives parallel filters shall be used, one filter for each inverter module. The cables or bus bars between inverter and filter should have the same length for each module. The paralleling connection should be after the du/dt filter, either at the filters' terminals or at the motor terminals.

6 How to Programme the Frequency Converter

The VLT switching frequency must be set to the value specified for the individual filter. Please consult the VLT Programming Guide for the corresponding parameter values. With an output filter installed only a reduced Automatic Motor Adaption (AMA) can be used. du/dt filters, unlike Sine-wave filters, can be used at lower switching frequency than the nominal switching frequency, but higher switching frequency will cause the overheating of the filter and should be avoided.

NOTE

NOTE

6 6

Sine-wave filters can be used at switching frequencies higher than the nominal switching frequency, but should never be used at switching frequencies with less than 20% lower than the nominal switching frequency.
