Data for parameters 102 through 106 can be read

Automatic motor tuning

Automatic motor tuning (AMT) measures stator re-
sistance RS without the motor axle turning. This
means that the motor is not delivering any torque.
AMT can optimize adjustment of the adjustable fre-
quency drive to the motor. For best possible tuning,
it is recommended that AMT be performed on a cold
motor. Repeated AMT runs can cause motor heat-
ing, resulting in an increase in the stator resistance.
As a rule, however, this is not critical. (See parame-
ter 107, Automatic motor tuning, AMT, description
for more detail before running AMT.)

Perform AMT in accordance with the following proce-

dure:

1. Press the [QUICK MENU] key to enter Quick

menu mode
2. Use the [+] key to scroll to parameter 107.

now flash and dashes will move from left to right
in the data value field.
6. When "107" appears once more with the data
value [0], AMT is complete. Press [STOP/RESET]

damage, especially when installing large units.

■ Enclosures
In the USA and some other countries, a NEMA 1 ter-
minal cover enclosing terminal connectors is required
for remote mounting of the drive. All units rated IP 20
(no terminal cover) may need to be mounted within a
cabinet, panel, conduit box, or other protective en-
closure. IP 20 is not suitable for remote mounting.

■ Spacing for mechanical installation

All units require a minimum of 4 inches (100 mm)
open air space at the fan inlet and outlet of the drive.

connected to the AC line. Incorrect instal-
lation of the motor or drive may cause damage to
the equipment, serious injury or death. Comply with
the safety instructions in this manual as well as local
and national rules and safety regulations. Touching
electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equip-
ment has been disconnected from the AC line. Wait
at least 4 minutes for current to dissipate.
NOTE!
It is the responsibility of the user or installer to
ensure correct grounding and protection in ac-
cordance with national and local standards.

■ Grounding
Comply with the following at installation:

• Safety grounding: The drive has a high leakage

current and must be grounded properly for safety.

Installation
Follow all local safety regulations.
• High frequency grounding: Keep grounding ca-
bles as short as possible.

Connect all grounds to ensure the lowest possible

conductor impedance. The lowest possible conduc-
tor impedance is achieved by keeping the conductor
as short as possible and by grounding with the
greatest possible surface area. If multiple drives are
installed in a cabinet, the cabinet backplate, which
must be made of metal, should be used as a joint
ground reference plate. The drives must be fitted to
the backplate at the lowest possible impedance.

To achieve low impedance, connect the drive to the

backplate with the drive fastening bolts. Remove any
layers of isolating paint from the contact points.

■ Additional protection
ELCB relays or multiple protective grounding can be
used for additional protection. In the case of a
ground fault, a DC content may develop in the faulty
current. Never use an RCD (ELCB) relay, type A, as
it is not suitable for DC faulty currents. If ELCB re-
lays are used, comply with local regulations.
In addition, if ELCB relays are used, they must be:

tent in the faulty current (3-phase bridge rectifier)

A high voltage test can be performed by short-

In general, control cables must be screened/ar-

mored, and the screen must be connected to the
unit’s metal cabinet with a cable clamp at each end.
The drawing shows the correct way to perform
grounding.

1. Correct earthing
Control cables and cables for serial communica-
tion must be attached with cable clamps at both
ends to ensure maximum possible electrical con-
tact.
2. Incorrect earthing
Do not use twisted screen ends that are plaited
together (pigtails), as these increase screen
impedance at higher frequencies.
3. Securing the ground potential between a PLC
and the adjustable frequency drive
If there is a different ground potential between the
drive and the PLC, electrical noise can be gener-
ated which could interfere with the whole system.
This problem can be solved by attaching a com-
pensation cable, which is placed beside the
control cable. Minimum cable diameter: 6 AWG.
4. In the event of a 50/60 Hz earth loop
If very long control cables are used, 50/60 Hz
ground loops can arise which can interfere with
the whole system. This problem is resolved by at-
taching one end of the screen to ground via a
100 nF condenser (short pin length).

■ Direction of motor rotation

Problems may arise at start-up and when operating
at low rpm if the motor sizes are widely different.
This is because the small motors’ relatively high re-
sistance in the stator calls for a higher voltage at the
start-up and at low rpm.
In systems with motors connected in par-
allel, the electronic thermal relay (ETR) of
the adjustable frequency drive cannot be
used as motor protection for the individual motor.
For this reason further motor protection must be
used, e.g. thermistors in each motor (or an individ-
ual thermal relay).
NOTE!
In systems with motors connected in parallel,

Liquids carried through the air can condense in the

Steam, oil and brine may also cause corrosion of
components and metal parts. In these areas, it is
recommended to install units in cabinets. As a mini-

from the other control circuits with increased isola-

PELV (Protective Extra-Low Voltage) separation is
achieved with galvanic separators between control
circuits and circuits connected to the AC line poten-
tial. These separators meet the requirements for
increased isolation in standard EN 50 178. Installa-
tion must be in accordance with local and national
PELV regulations.

All control terminals, terminals for serial communica-

tion and relay terminals are safely separated from
the AC line potential, i.e. they comply with the PELV
requirements. Circuits that are connected to control
terminals 12, 18, 19, 20, 27, 29, 33, 42, 46, 50, 55,
53 and 60 are galvanically connected to one an-
other. Serial communication connected to terminals
67 - 70 is galvanically isolated from the control ter-

Safeguards:

• Electronic thermal motor protection against overload.

• Temperature monitoring of the heatsink ensures that the adjustable frequency drive cuts out if the tempera-

ture reaches 100 C. An overload temperature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heatsink is below

70 C.
• The adjustable frequency drive is protected against short circuits on motor terminals U, V, W.
• If an AC line phase is missing, the adjustable frequency drive will cut out.
• Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the adjustable frequency drive cuts out if the in-
termediate circuit voltage is too low or too high.
• The adjustable frequency drive is protected against ground fault on motor terminals U, V, W.

1. American Wire Gauge. Max. cable cross sec-

tion is the largest cable cross section that can be
attached to the terminals. Always follow national
and local regulations.
2. Type gG pre-fuses must be used. If you want to
comply with UL/cUL the pre-fuses used must be
Bussmann KTN-R 200 V, KTS-R 500 V or equiva-
lent. The fuses must provide protection in a circuit
capable of supplying a maximum of 100,000 amps
RMS (symmetrical), 500 V maximum.
3. Measured using a 25 m screened/armored mo-
tor cable with a rated load and rated frequency.
