Introduction
Trip
A state entered in fault situations, e.g. if the frequency
converter is subject to an over-temperature or when the
frequency converter is protecting the motor, process or
mechanism. Restart is prevented until the cause of the
fault has disappeared and the trip state is cancelled by
activating reset or, in some cases, by being programmed
to reset automatically. Trip may not be used for personal
safety.
Trip locked
A state entered in fault situations when the frequency
converter is protecting itself and requiring physical
intervention, for example, if the frequency converter is
subject to a short circuit on the output. A locked trip can
only be cancelled by cutting off mains, removing the cause
of the fault, and reconnecting the frequency converter.
Restart is prevented until the trip state is cancelled by
activating reset or, in some cases, by being programmed
to reset automatically. Trip locked may not be used for
personal safety.
VT characteristics
Variable torque characteristics used for pumps and fans.
VVCplus
If compared with standard voltage/frequency ratio control,
Voltage Vector Control (VVCplus) improves the dynamics
and the stability, both when the speed reference is
changed and in relation to the load torque.
1.7 Power Factor

The power factor is the relation between I1 and IRMS.
Power factor =
3 U I1 COS
3 U IRMS
The power factor for 3-phase control:

=
I1 cos 1
I1
=
since cos 1 = 1
IRMS
IRMS
The power factor indicates to which extent the frequency

converter imposes a load on the mains supply.
The lower the power factor, the higher the IRMS for the
same kW performance.
IRMS = I12 + I52 + I72 + . . + In2
In addition, a high power factor indicates that the different

harmonic currents are low.
The frequency converters built-in DC coils produce a high
power factor, which minimizes the imposed load on the
mains supply.

2.1.1 Safety Note
WARNING
WARNING
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous
whenever connected to mains. Incorrect installation of
the motor, frequency converter or fieldbus may cause
death, serious personal injury or damage to the
equipment. Consequently, the instructions in this
manual, as well as national and local rules and safety
regulations, must be complied with.
Safety Regulations
1.
Disconnect the frequency converter from mains, if
repair work is to be carried out. Check that the
mains supply has been disconnected and that the
necessary time has passed before removing
motor and mains plugs.
2.
The [Off/Reset] key does not disconnect the

equipment from mains and is thus not to be used
as a safety switch.
3.
Correct protective earthing of the equipment

must be established, the user must be protected
against supply voltage, and the motor must be
protected against overload in accordance with
applicable national and local regulations.
4.
The earth leakage currents are higher than 3.5

mA.
5.
Protection against motor overload is set by

1-90 Motor Thermal Protection. If this function is
desired, set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to data
value [4], [6], [8], [10] ETR trip] or data value [3],
[5], [7], [9]ETR warning.
Note: The function is initialised at 1.16 x rated
motor current and rated motor frequency. For the
North American market: The ETR functions
provide class 20 motor overload protection in
accordance with NEC.
6.
Do not remove the plugs for the motor and

mains supply while the frequency converter is
connected to mains. Check that the mains supply
has been disconnected and that the necessary
time has elapsed before removing motor and
mains plugs.
7.
Check that all voltage inputs have been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed
before commencing repair work.
UNINTENDED START
1.
The motor can be brought to a stop with digital

commands, bus commands, references or a
local stop, while the frequency converter is
connected to mains. These stop functions are
not sufficient to avoid unintended start and
thus prevent personal injury.
2.
While parameters are being changed, the motor

may start. Consequently, always activate the
stop key [Off/Reset] before modifying data.
3.
A motor that has been stopped may start if

faults occur in the electronics of the frequency
converter, or if a temporary overload or a fault
in the supply mains or the motor connection
ceases.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input power. Installation, start
up, and maintenance should be performed by qualified
personnel only. Failure to perform installation, start up,
and maintenance by qualified personnel could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
the motor may start at any time. The frequency
converter, motor, and any driven equipment must be in
operational readiness. Failure to be in operational
readiness when the frequency converter is connected to
AC mains could result in death, serious injury,
equipment, or property damage.

Product Overview
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
Frequency converters contain DC-link capacitors that can
remain charged even when the frequency converter is
not powered. To avoid electrical hazards, disconnect AC
mains, any permanent magnet type motors, and any
remote DC-link power supplies, including battery
backups, UPS and DC-link connections to other
frequency converters. Wait for the capacitors to fully
discharge before performing any service or repair work.
The amount of wait time is listed in the Discharge Time
table. Failure to wait the specified time after power has
been removed before doing service or repair could result
in death or serious injury.

converter. Danfoss do this by means of a manufacturer's

declaration.
The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
Frequency converters must be CE labeled 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.
The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The
presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the
mutual interference between different components/
appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.
The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996.
Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and
issues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carry
out EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in this
Design Guide. In addition, Danfossspecifies which
standards our products comply with. Danfossoffers the
filters presented in the specifications and provide other
types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.
The frequency converter is most often used by professionals of the trade as a complex component forming part
of a larger appliance, system or installation. It must be
noted that the responsibility for the final EMC properties of
the appliance, system or installation rests with the installer.
Table 2.1 Discharge Time
2.1.2 Disposal Instruction

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.
2.2 CE Labeling
2.2.2 What is Covered

The EU "Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive
89/336/EEC" outline three typical situations of using a
frequency converter. See 2.2.3 Danfoss Frequency Converter
and CE Labeling for EMC coverage and CE labeling.
1.
The frequency converter is sold directly to the

end-consumer. The frequency converter is for
example sold to a DIY market. The end-consumer
is a layman. He installs the frequency converter
himself for use with a hobby machine, a kitchen
appliance, etc. For such applications, the
frequency converter must be CE labeled in
accordance with the EMC directive.
2.
The frequency converter is sold for installation in

a plant. The plant is built up by professionals of
the trade. It could be a production plant or a
heating/ventilation plant designed and installed
by professionals of the trade. Neither the
frequency converter nor the finished plant has to
be CE labeled under the EMC directive. However,
the unit must comply with the basic EMC
requirements of the directive. This is ensured by
using components, appliances, and systems that
are CE labeled under the EMC directive.
2.2.1 CE Conformity and Labeling

What is CE Conformity and Labeling?
The purpose of CE labeling 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. Frequency converters are regulated by three
EU directives:
The machinery directive (98/37/EEC)
All machines with critical moving parts are covered by the
machinery directive of January 1, 1995. Since a frequency
converter is largely electrical, it does not fall under the
machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is
supplied for use in a machine, Danfoss provides
information on safety aspects relating to the frequency
10
MG18C502 - Rev. 2013-09-06
Product Overview
3.
The frequency converter is sold as part of a

complete system. The system is being marketed
as complete and could for example, be an airconditioning system. The complete system must
be CE labeled in accordance with the EMC
directive. The manufacturer can ensure CE
labeling under the EMC directive either by using
CE labeled components or by testing the EMC of
the system. If only CE labeled components are
chosen, the entire system does not have to be
tested.
2.2.3 Danfoss Frequency Converter and CE

Labeling
CE labeling is a positive feature when used for its original
purpose, that is, to facilitate trade within the EU and EFTA.
However, CE labeling may cover many different specifications. Check what a given CE label specifically covers.
The covered specifications can be very different and a CE
label may therefore give the installer a false feeling of
security when using a frequency converter as a component
in a system or an appliance.
Danfoss CE labels the frequency converters in accordance
with the low-voltage directive. This means that if the
frequency converter is installed correctly, Danfoss
guarantees compliance with the low-voltage directive.
Danfoss issues a declaration of conformity that confirms
our CE labeling in accordance with the low-voltage
directive.
The CE label also applies to the EMC directive provided
that the instructions for EMC-correct installation and
filtering are followed. On this basis, a declaration of
conformity in accordance with the EMC directive is issued.
The Design Guide offers detailed instructions for installation to ensure EMC-correct installation. Furthermore,
Danfoss specifies which our different products comply
with.
Danfoss provides other types of assistance that can help to
obtain the best EMC result.
2.2.4 Compliance with EMC Directive

89/336/EEC
As mentioned, the frequency converter is mostly used by
professionals of the trade as a complex component
forming part of a larger appliance, system, or installation. It
must be noted that the responsibility for the final EMC
properties of the appliance, system or installation rests
with the installer. As an aid to the installer, Danfoss has
prepared EMC installation guidelines for the Power Drive

system. The standards and test levels stated for Power
Drive systems are complied with, if the EMC-correct
instructions for installation are followed.
2 2
2.3 Air Humidity

The frequency converter has been designed to meet the
IEC/EN 60068-2-3 standard, EN 50178 9.4.2.2 at 50 C.
2.4 Aggressive Environments

A frequency converter contains many mechanical and
electronic components. All are to some extent vulnerable
to environmental effects.
CAUTION
The frequency converter should not be installed in
environments with airborne liquids, particles, or gases
capable of affecting and damaging the electronic
components. Failure to take the necessary protective
measures increases the risk of stoppages, thus reducing
the life of the frequency converter.
Liquids can be carried through the air and condense in the
frequency converter and may cause corrosion of
components and metal parts. Steam, oil, and salt water
may cause corrosion of components and metal parts. In
such environments, use equipment with enclosure rating
IP54. As an extra protection, coated printed circuit boards
can be ordered as an option. (Standard on some power
sizes.)
Airborne particles such as dust may cause mechanical,
electrical, or thermal failure in the frequency converter. A
typical indicator of excessive levels of airborne particles is
dust particles around the frequency converter fan. In dusty
environments, use equipment with enclosure rating IP54 or
a cabinet for IP20/TYPE 1 equipment.
In environments with high temperatures and humidity,
corrosive gases such as sulphur, nitrogen, and chlorine
compounds causes chemical processes on the frequency
converter components.
Such chemical reactions rapidly affects and damages the
electronic components. In such environments, mount the

2.6.2 The Clear Advantage - Energy Savings
Before installing the frequency converter, check the

ambient air for liquids, particles, and gases. This is done by
observing existing installations in this environment. Typical
indicators of harmful airborne liquids are water or oil on
metal parts, or corrosion of metal parts.
The clear advantage of using a frequency converter for

controlling the speed of fans or pumps lies in the
electricity savings.
When comparing with alternative control systems and
technologies, a frequency converter is the optimum energy
control system for controlling fan and pump systems.

Product Overview
2.6.3 Example of Energy Savings
2.6.4 Comparison of Energy Savings
As shown in Illustration 2.3, the flow is controlled by

changing the RPM. By reducing the speed only 20% from
the rated speed, the flow is also reduced by 20%. This is
because the flow is directly proportional to the RPM. The
consumption of electricity, however, is reduced by 50%.
If the system in question only needs to be able to supply a
flow that corresponds to 100% a few days in a year, while
the average is below 80% of the rated flow for the
remainder of the year, the amount of energy saved is even
more than 50%.
The Danfoss frequency converter solution offers major

savings compared with traditional energy saving solutions.
This is because the frequency converter is able to control
fan speed according to thermal load on the system and
the fact that the frequency converter has a built-in facility
that enables the frequency converter to function as a
Building Management System, BMS.

2.6.8 Using a Frequency Converter Saves

Money
When larger motors are started, it is necessary in many

countries to use equipment that limits the start-up current.
In more traditional systems, a star/delta starter or soft
starter is widely used. Such motor starters are not required
if a frequency converter is used.
Example 2.6.9 Without a Frequency Converter shows that a

lot of equipment is not required when a frequency
converter is used. It is possible to calculate the cost of
installing the 2 different systems. In the example, the 2
systems can be established at roughly the same price.
As illustrated in Illustration 2.8, a frequency converter does

not consume more than rated current.

2.6.12 Variable Air Volume

VAV, or Variable Air Volume systems, control both the
ventilation and temperature to satisfy the requirements of
a building. Central VAV systems are considered to be the
most energy efficient method to air condition buildings. By
designing central systems instead of distributed systems, a
greater efficiency can be obtained.
The efficiency comes from utilising larger fans and larger
chillers which have much higher efficiencies than small
motors and distributed air-cooled chillers. Savings are also
seen from the decreased maintenance requirements.
the installation. Instead of creating an artificial pressure

drop or causing a decrease in fan efficiency, the frequency
converter decreases the speed of the fan to provide the
flow and pressure required by the system.
Centrifugal devices such as fans behave according to the
centrifugal laws. This means the fans decrease the pressure
and flow they produce as their speed is reduced. Their
power consumption is thereby significantly reduced.
The PI controller of the VLT HVAC Basic Drive can be used
to eliminate the need for additional controllers.
2.6.13 The VLT Solution

While dampers and IGVs work to maintain a constant
pressure in the ductwork, a frequency converter solution
saves much more energy and reduces the complexity of

2.6.14 Constant Air Volume

CAV, or Constant Air Volume systems, are central
ventilation systems usually used to supply large common
zones with the minimum amounts of fresh tempered air.
They preceded VAV systems and are therefore found in
older multi-zoned commercial buildings as well. These
systems preheat amounts of fresh air utilising Air Handling
Units (AHUs) with a heating coil, and many are also used
to air condition buildings and have a cooling coil. Fan coil
units are frequently used to assist in the heating and
cooling requirements in the individual zones.

With a frequency converter, significant energy savings can
be obtained while maintaining decent control of the
building. Temperature sensors or CO2 sensors can be used
as feedback signals to frequency converters. Whether
controlling temperature, air quality, or both, a CAV system
can be controlled to operate based on actual building
conditions. As the number of people in the controlled area
decreases, the need for fresh air decreases. The CO2 sensor
detects lower levels and decreases the supply fans speed.
The return fan modulates to maintain a static pressure
setpoint or fixed difference between the supply and return
air flows.
Cooling coil
Heating coil
Filter
With temperature control, especially used in air

conditioning systems, as the outside temperature varies as
well as the number of people in the controlled zone
changes, different cooling requirements exist. As the
temperature decreases below the set-point, the supply fan
can decrease its speed. The return fan modulates to
maintain a static pressure set-point. By decreasing the air
flow, energy used to heat or cool the fresh air is also
reduced, adding further savings.
Several features of the Danfoss HVAC dedicated frequency
converter can be utilised to improve the performance of
the CAV system. One concern of controlling a ventilation
system is poor air quality. The programmable minimum
frequency can be set to maintain a minimum amount of
supply air regardless of the feedback or reference signal.
The frequency converter also includes one PI controller,
which allows monitoring both temperature and air quality.
Even if the temperature requirement is satisfied, the
frequency converter maintains enough supply air to satisfy
the air quality sensor. The controller is capable of
monitoring and comparing 2 feedback signals to control
the return fan by maintaining a fixed differential air flow
between the supply and return ducts as well.

2.6.16 Cooling Tower Fan

Cooling Tower Fans cool condenser water in water cooled
chiller systems. Water cooled chillers provide the most
efficient means of creating chilled water. They are as much
as 20% more efficient than air cooled chillers. Depending
on climate, cooling towers are often the most energy
efficient method of cooling the condenser water from
chillers.
They cool the condenser water by evaporation.
The condenser water is sprayed into the cooling tower
until the cooling towers fill to increase its surface area.
The tower fan blows air through the fill and sprayed water
to aid in the evaporation. Evaporation removes energy
from the water dropping its temperature. The cooled water
collects in the cooling towers basin where it is pumped
back into the chillers condenser and the cycle is repeated.
Several features of the Danfoss HVAC dedicated frequency

converter, the HVAC frequency converter can be utilised to
improve the performance of cooling tower fans
applications. As the cooling tower fans drop below a
certain speed, the effect the fan has on cooling the water
becomes small. Also, when utilising a gear-box to
frequency control the tower fan, a minimum speed of
40-50% may be required.
The customer programmable minimum frequency setting
is available to maintain this minimum frequency even as
the feedback or speed reference calls for lower speeds.
Also as a standard feature, the frequency converter can be
programmed to enter a sleep mode and stop the fan
until a higher speed is required. Additionally, some cooling
tower fans have undesireable frequencies that may cause
vibrations. These frequencies can easily be avoided by
programming the bypass frequency ranges in the
frequency converter.
130BB453.10
With a frequency converter, the cooling towers fans can be

controlled to the required speed to maintain the

2.6.18 Condenser Pumps

Condenser water pumps are primarily used to circulate
water through the condenser section of water cooled
chillers and their associated cooling tower. The condenser
water absorbs the heat from the chiller's condenser section
and releases it into the atmosphere in the cooling tower.
These systems are used to provide the most efficient
means of creating chilled water, they are as much as 20%
more efficient than air cooled chillers.
Using a frequency converter instead of a throttling valve

simply saves the energy that would have been absorbed
by the valve. This can amount to savings of 15-20% or
more. Trimming the pump impeller is irreversible, thus if
the conditions change and higher flow is required the
impeller must be replaced.

Product Overview
2.6.20 Primary Pumps

Primary pumps in a primary/secondary pumping system
can be used to maintain a constant flow through devices
that encounter operation or control difficulties when
exposed to variable flow. The primary/secondary pumping
technique decouples the primary production loop from
the secondary distribution loop. This allows devices such
as chillers to obtain constant design flow and operate
properly while allowing the rest of the system to vary in
flow.
As the evaporator flow rate decreases in a chiller, the
chilled water begins to become over-chilled. As this
happens, the chiller attempts to decrease its cooling
capacity. If the flow rate drops far enough, or too quickly,
the chiller cannot shed its load sufficiently and the chillers
safety trips the chiller requiring a manual reset. This
situation is common in large installations especially when 2
or more chillers in parallel are installed if primary/
secondary pumping is not utilised.

Depending on the size of the system and the size of the
primary loop, the energy consumption of the primary loop
can become substantial.
A frequency converter can be added to the primary
system, to replace the throttling valve and/or trimming of
the impellers, leading to reduced operating expenses. Two
control methods are common:
22
Flow meter
Because the desired flow rate is known and is constant, a
flow meter installed at the discharge of each chiller, can be
used to control the pump directly. Using the built-in PI
controller, the frequency converter always maintains the
appropriate flow rate, even compensating for the changing
resistance in the primary piping loop as chillers and their
pumps are staged on and off.
Local speed determination
The operator simply decreases the output frequency until
the design flow rate is achieved.
Using a frequency converter to decrease the pump speed
is very similar to trimming the pump impeller, except it
does not require any labor and the pump efficiency
remains higher. The balancing contractor simply decreases
the speed of the pump until the proper flow rate is
achieved and leaves the speed fixed. The pump operates
at this speed any time the chiller is staged on. Because the
primary loop does not have control valves or other devices
that can cause the system curve to change and the
variance due to staging pumps and chillers on and off is
usually small, this fixed speed remains appropriate. In the
event the flow rate needs to be increased later in the
systems life, the frequency convertercan simply increase
the pump speed instead of requiring a new pump
impeller.

2.6.22 Secondary Pumps

Secondary pumps in a primary/secondary chilled water
pumping system distribute the chilled water to the loads
from the primary production loop. The primary/secondary
pumping system is used to hydronically de-couple one
piping loop from another. In this case, the primary pump is
used to maintain a constant flow through the chillers while
allowing the secondary pumps to vary in flow, increase
control and save energy.
If the primary/secondary design concept is not used and a
variable volume system is designed, when the flow rate
drops far enough or too quickly, the chiller cannot shed its
load properly. The chillers low evaporator temperature
safety then trips the chiller requiring a manual reset. This
situation is common in large installations especially when 2
or more chillers in parallel are installed.
With the proper sensor location, the addition of frequency

converters allows the pumps to vary their speed to follow
the system curve instead of the pump curve.
This results in the elimination of wasted energy and
eliminates most of the over-pressurization, 2-way valves
can be subjected too.
As the monitored loads are reached, the 2-way valves close
down. This increases the differential pressure measured
across the load and 2-way valve. As this differential
pressure starts to rise, the pump is slowed to maintain the
control head also called setpoint value. This set-point value
is calculated by summing the pressure drop of the load
and two way valve together under design conditions.
NOTICE
When running multiple pumps in parallel, they must run
at the same speed to maximize energy savings, either
with individual dedicated drives or one frequency
converter running multiple pumps in parallel.

Local reference forces the configuration mode to open

loop, independent on the setting of 1-00 Configuration
Mode.
The internal controller allows the frequency converter to

become an integral part of the controlled system. The
frequency converter receives a feedback signal from a
sensor in the system. It then compares this feedback to a
set-point reference value and determines the error, if any,
between these 2 signals. It then adjusts the speed of the
motor to correct this error.
For example, consider a pump application where the
speed of a pump is to be controlled so that the static
pressure in a pipe is constant. The desired static pressure
value is supplied to the frequency converter as the setpoint reference. A static pressure sensor measures the
actual static pressure in the pipe and supplies this to the
frequency converter as a feedback signal. If the feedback
signal is greater than the set-point reference, the
frequency converter slows down to reduce the pressure. In
a similar way, if the pipe pressure is lower than the setpoint reference, the frequency converter automatically
speed up to increase the pressure provided by the pump.

2.7.6 Feedback Conversion

In some applications it may be useful to convert the
feedback signal. One example of this is using a pressure
signal to provide flow feedback. Since the square root of
pressure is proportional to flow, the square root of the
pressure signal yields a value proportional to the flow. See

2.7.9 Tuning the Drive Closed Loop Controller

Once the frequency converter's closed loop controller has been set up, the performance of the controller should be tested.
In many cases, its performance may be acceptable using the default values of 20-93 PI Proportional Gain and 20-94 PI Integral
Time. However, in some cases it may be helpful to optimize these parameter values to provide faster system response while
still controlling speed overshoot.
2.7.10 Manual PI Adjustment

1.
Start the motor.
2.
Set 20-93 PI Proportional Gain to 0.3 and increase it until the feedback signal begins to oscillate. If necessary, start
and stop the frequency converter or make step changes in the set-point reference to attempt to cause oscillation.
Next reduce the PI proportional gain until the feedback signal stabilises. Then reduce the proportional gain by
40-60%.
3.
Set 20-94 PI Integral Time to 20 s and reduce it until the feedback signal begins to oscillate. If necessary, start and
stop the frequency converter or make step changes in the set-point reference to attempt to cause oscillation. Next,
increase the PI integral time until the feedback signal stabilises. Then increase of the integral time by 15-50%.

2.8 General Aspects of EMC

Electrical interference is usually conducted at frequencies in the range 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Airborne interference from the
frequency converter system in the range 30 MHz to 1 GHz is generated from the inverter, motor cable, and the motor.
As shown in Illustration 2.23, capacitance in the motor cable coupled with a high dU/dt from the motor voltage generate
leakage currents.
The use of a screened motor cable increases the leakage current (see Illustration 2.23) because screened cables have higher
capacitance to earth than unscreened cables. If the leakage current is not filtered, it causes greater interference on the
mains in the radio frequency range below approximately 5 MHz. Since the leakage current (I1) is carried back to the unit
through the screen (I3), there is in principle only a small electro-magnetic field (I4) from the screened motor cable according
to Illustration 2.23.
The screen reduces the radiated interference, but increases the low-frequency interference on the mains. Connect the motor
cable screen to the frequency converter enclosure as well as on the motor enclosure. This is best done by using integrated
screen clamps so as to avoid twisted screen ends (pigtails). Pigtails increase the screen impedance at higher frequencies,
which reduces the screen effect and increases the leakage current (I4).
If a screened cable is used for relay, control cable, signal interface and brake, mount the screen on the enclosure at both
ends. In some situations, however, it is necessary to break the screen to avoid current loops.

If the screen is to be placed on a mounting plate for the frequency converter, the mounting plate must be made of metal,
because the screen currents have to be conveyed back to the unit. Moreover, ensure good electrical contact from the
mounting plate through the mounting screws to the frequency converter chassis.
When unscreened cables are used, some emission requirements are not complied with, although most immunity
requirements are observed.
To reduce the interference level from the entire system (unit+installation), make motor and brake cables as short as
possible. Avoid placing cables with a sensitive signal level alongside motor and brake cables. Radio interference higher than
50 MHz (airborne) is especially generated by the control electronics. See 5.2.4 EMC Compliant Electrical Installation for more
information on EMC.

2.8.5 Harmonics Test Results (Emission)
The harmonics do not affect the power consumption

directly but increase the heat losses in the installation
(transformer, cables). Consequently, in plants with a high
percentage of rectifier load, maintain harmonic currents at
a low level to avoid overload of the transformer and high
temperature in the cables.
Power sizes up to PK75 in T4 and P3K7 in T2 complies with

IEC/EN 61000-3-2 Class A. Power sizes from P1K1 and up to

Illustration 2.24 Harmonic Currents
Some of the harmonic currents might disturb communication equipment connected to the same transformer or
cause resonance in connection with power-factor
correction batteries.
To ensure low harmonic currents, the frequency converter
is equipped with intermediate circuit coils as standard. This
normally reduces the input current IRMS by 40%.
The voltage distortion on the mains supply voltage
depends on the size of the harmonic currents multiplied
by the mains impedance for the frequency in question.

2.8.6 Immunity Requirements
0.25-22 kW
The immunity requirements for frequency converters

depend on the environment where they are installed. The
requirements for the industrial environment are higher
than the requirements for the home and office
environment. All Danfoss frequency converters comply
with the requirements for the industrial environment and
consequently comply also with the lower requirements for
home and office environment with a large safety margin.

2.9 Galvanic Isolation (PELV)
Illustration 2.25 Galvanic Isolation
2.9.1 PELV - Protective Extra Low Voltage

1 Power supply (SMPS)
All control terminals and relay terminals 01-03/04-06

comply with PELV (Protective Extra Low Voltage) (Does not
apply to grounded Delta leg above 440 V).
Galvanic (ensured) isolation is obtained by fulfilling
requirements for higher isolation and by providing the
relevant creapage/clearance distances. These requirements
are described in the EN 61800-5-1 standard.
The components that make up the electrical isolation, as
described, also comply with the requirements for higher
isolation and the relevant test as described in EN
61800-5-1.
The PELV galvanic isolation can be shown in
Illustration 2.26.
To maintain PELV all connections made to the control
terminals must be PELV, e.g. thermistor must be
reinforced/double insulated.

PELV offers protection by way of extra low voltage.

Protection against electric shock is ensured when the
electrical supply is of the PELV type and the installation is
made as described in local/national regulations on PELV
supplies.

Motor-generated over-voltage
The voltage in the intermediate circuit is increased when
the motor acts as a generator. This occurs in following
cases:
2.10 Earth Leakage Current
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
Touching the electrical parts could be fatal - even after
the equipment has been disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been
disconnected, such as load sharing (linkage of DC
intermediate circuit), as well as the motor connection for
kinetic back-up.
Before touching any electrical parts, wait at least the
amount of time indicated in the Table 2.1.
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the
nameplate for the specific unit.
NOTICE
Leakage Current
The earth leakage current from the frequency converter
exceeds 3.5 mA. To ensure that the earth cable has a
good mechanical connection to the earth connection, the
cable cross section must be at least 10 mm2 Cu or 16
mm2 Al or 2 rated earth wires terminated separately.
Residual Current Device protection RCD
This product can cause a DC current in the protective
conductor. Where a residual current device (RCD) is used
for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, only
an RCD of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this
product. Otherwise, another protective measure shall be
applied, such as separation from the environment by
double or reinforced insulation, or isolation from the
supply system by a transformer. See also Application
Note Protection against Electrical Hazards, MN90G.
Protective earthing of the frequency converter and the
use of RCDs must always follow national and local
regulations.
2.11 Extreme Running Conditions

Short circuit (motor phase phase)
Current measurement in each of the 3 motor phases or in
the DC-link, protects the frequency converter against short
circuts. A short circuit between 2 output phases causes an
overcurrent in the inverter. The inverter is turned off
individually when the short circuit current exceeds the
permitted value (Alarm 16 Trip Lock).
To protect the frequency converter against a short circuit
at the load sharing and brake outputs see the design
guidelines.
Switching on the output
Switching on the output between the motor and the
frequency converter is fully permitted. The frequency
converter is not damaged in any way by switching on the
output. However, fault messages may appear.
38
1.
The load drives the motor (at constant output

frequency from the frequency converter), that is
the load generates energy.
2.
During deceleration ("ramp-down") if the moment

of inertia is high, the friction is low and the rampdown time is too short for the energy to be
dissipated as a loss in the frequency converter,
the motor and the installation.
3.
Incorrect slip compensation setting (1-62 Slip

Compensation) may cause higher DC link voltage.
The control unit may attempt to correct the ramp if

possible (2-17 Over-voltage Control.)
The inverter turns off to protect the transistors and the
intermediate circuit capacitors when a certain voltage level
is reached.
Mains drop-out
During a mains drop-out, the frequency converter keeps
running until the intermediate circuit voltage drops below
the minimum stop level, which is typically 15% below the
frequency converter's lowest rated supply voltage. The
mains voltage before the drop-out and the motor load
determines how long it takes for the inverter to coast.
2.11.1 Motor Thermal Protection

This is the way Danfoss protects the motor from being
overheated. It is an electronic feature that simulates a
bimetal relay based on internal measurements. The characteristic is shown in Illustration 2.27.

the ETR cuts off and trips the frequency converter. The
curves are showing the characteristic nominal speed at
twice the nominal speed and at 0.2x the nominal speed.
It is clear that at lower speed the ETR cuts off at lower
heat due to less cooling of the motor. In that way the
motor are protected from being over heated even at low
speed. The ETR feature is calculating the motor
temperature based on actual current and speed.

Summary
With the ETR, the motor is protected for being over-heated
and there is no need for any further motor protection.
That means when the motor is heated up, the ETR timer
controls for how long time the motor can run at the high
temperature before it is stopped to prevent over heating.
If the motor is overloaded without reaching the
temperature, the ETR shuts of the motor.
Using an analog input and 10 V as power supply:

Example: The frequency converter trips when the motor
temperature is too high.
Parameter set-up:
Set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to [2] Thermistor Trip
Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to [2] Analog Input 54

5.2.2 Connecting to Mains and Motor

The frequency converter is designed to operate all
standard 3-phased asynchronous motors. For maximum
cross-section on wires see 8.2 General Specifications.
Use a shielded/armored motor cable to comply

with EMC emission specifications, and connect
this cable to both the decoupling plate and the
motor metal.
Keep motor cable as short as possible to reduce

the noise level and leakage currents.
For further details on mounting of the

decoupling plate, see FC 101 De-coupling Plate
Mounting Instruction.
Also see EMC-Correct Installation in the VLT HVAC

Basic Design Guide.
1.
Mount the earth wires to earth terminal.
2.
Connect motor to terminals U, V and W.
3.
Mount mains supply to terminals L1, L2 and L3

and tighten.

How to Install
5.2.3 Fuses and Circuit Breakers

Branch circuit protection
To protect the installation against electrical and fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch gear, machines etc.,
must be short-circuit and overcurrent protected according to national and local regulations.
Short circuit protection
Danfoss recommends using the fuses and circuit breakers listed in Table 5.15 to protect service personnel or other
equipment in case of an internal failure in the unit or short-circuit on DC-link. The frequency converter provides full short
circuit protection in case of a short-circuit on the motor.
Overcurrent protection
Provide overload protection to avoid overheating of the cables in the installation. Overcurrent protection must always be
carried out according to local and national regulations. Circuit breakers and fuses must be designed for protection in a
circuit capable of supplying a maximum of 100,000 Arms (symmetrical), 480 V maximum.
UL/Non UL compliance
Use the circuit breakers or fuses listed in Table 5.15, to ensure compliance with UL or IEC 61800-5-1.
Circuit breakers must be designed for protection in a circuit capable of supplying a maximum of 10,000 Arms (symmetrical),
480 V maximum.
NOTICE
In the event of malfunction, failure to follow the protection recommendation may result in damage to the frequency
converter.

How to Install
5.2.4 EMC Compliant Electrical Installation

General points to be observed to ensure EMC-correct electrical installation.
Use only screened/armoured motor cables and screened/armoured control cables.

Connect the screen to earth at both ends.
Avoid installation with twisted screen ends (pigtails), since this ruins the screening effect at high frequencies. Use
the cable clamps provided instead.
It is important to ensure good electrical contact from the installation plate through the installation screws to the
metal cabinet of the frequency converter.
Use starwashers and galvanically conductive installation plates.
5 5
Do not use unscreened/unarmoured motor cables in the installation cabinets.

7 RS-485 Installation and Set-up

7.1 RS-485
NOTICE
NOTICE
61 68 69
P
RS-485 is a 2-wire bus interface compatible with multi-drop

network topology, that is, nodes can be connected as a
bus, or via drop cables from a common trunk line. A total
of 32 nodes can be connected to one network segment.
Repeaters divide network segments.
Screened, twisted-pair cables are recommended

to reduce noise between conductors.
130BB795.10
7.1.1 Overview
COMM. GND
Illustration 7.1 Network Connection
Each repeater functions as a node within the segment in

which it is installed. Each node connected within a given
network must have a unique node address, across all
segments.
Terminate each segment at both ends, using either the
termination switch (S801) of the frequency converters or a
biased termination resistor network. Always use screened
twisted pair (STP) cable for bus cabling, and always follow
good common installation practice.
Low-impedance earth connection of the screen at every
node is important, including at high frequencies. Thus,
connect a large surface of the screen to earth, for example
with a cable clamp or a conductive cable gland. It may be
necessary to apply potential-equalizing cables to maintain
the same earth potential throughout the network - particularly in installations with long cables.
To prevent impedance mismatch, always use the same
type of cable throughout the entire network. When
connecting a motor to the frequency converter, always use
screened motor cable.

7.1.5 EMC Precautions
Set the parity and number of stop bits.
NOTICE
Observe relevant national and local regulations, for
example regarding protective earth connection. To avoid
coupling of high-frequency noise between the cables,
the RS-485 communication cable must be kept away
from motor and brake resistor cables. Normally, a
distance of 200 mm (8 inches) is sufficient, but Danfoss
recommends keeping the greatest possible distance
between the cables. Especially where cables run in
parallel over long distances. When crossing is
unavoidable, the RS-485 cable must cross motor and
brake resistor cables at an angle of 90.

Table 7.2 Modbus Communication Parameter Settings
The FC protocol, also referred to as FC bus or Standard

bus, is the Danfoss standard fieldbus. It defines an access
technique according to the master-follower principle for
communications via a serial bus.
One master and a maximum of 126 followers can be
connected to the bus. The master selects the individual
followers via an address character in the telegram. A
follower itself can never transmit without first being
requested to do so, and direct message transfer between
the individual followers is not possible. communications
occur in the half-duplex mode.
The master function cannot be transferred to another node
(single-master system).
The physical layer is RS-485, thus utilising the RS-485 port
built into the frequency converter. The FC protocol
supports different telegram formats:
A short format of 8 bytes for process data.

A long format of 16 bytes that also includes a
parameter channel.
A format used for texts.
7.2.1 FC with Modbus RTU

The FC protocol provides access to the Control Word and
Bus Reference of the frequency converter.
The Control Word allows the Modbus master to control
several important functions of the frequency converter.

Each character transferred begins with a start bit. Then 8

data bits are transferred, corresponding to a byte. Each
character is secured via a parity bit. This bit is set at "1"
when it reaches parity. Parity is when there is an equal
number of 1s in the 8 data bits and the parity bit in total.
A stop bit completes a character, thus consisting of 11 bits

7.4.10 Parameter Value (PWE)

The parameter value block consists of 2 words (4 bytes),
and the value depends on the defined command (AK). The
master prompts for a parameter value when the PWE block
contains no value. To change a parameter value (write),
MG18C502 - Rev. 2013-09-06
write the new value in the PWE block and send from the
master to the follower.
When a follower responds to a parameter request (read
command), the present parameter value in the PWE block
is transferred and returned to the master. If a parameter
contains several data options, e.g. 0-01 Language, select
the data value by entering the value in the PWE block.
Serial communication is only capable of reading
parameters containing data type 9 (text string).
15-40 FC Type to 15-53 Power Card Serial Number contain
data type 9.
For example, read the unit size and mains voltage range in
15-40 FC Type. When a text string is transferred (read), the
length of the telegram is variable, and the texts are of
different lengths. The telegram length is defined in the
second byte of the telegram (LGE). When using text
transfer, the index character indicates whether it is a read
or a write command.
To read a text via the PWE block, set the parameter
command (AK) to F Hex. The index character high-byte
must be 4.

Parameter values are transferred as whole numbers only.
Conversion factors are therefore used to transfer decimals.
4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz] has a conversion factor of
0.1.
To preset the minimum frequency to 10 Hz, transfer the

transferred is multiplied by 0.1. The value 100 is thus
perceived as 10.0.

7.6 Modbus RTU Overview

7.6.1 Assumptions
The Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) is designed to

communicate with any controller that supports the
interfaces defined in this document. It is assumed that the
user has full knowledge of the capabilities and limitations
of the controller.
7.6.3 Modbus RTU Overview

Regardless of the type of physical communication
networks, the Modbus RTU Overview describes the process
a controller uses to request access to another device. This
process includes how the Modbus RTU responds to
requests from another device, and how errors are detected
and reported. It also establishes a common format for the
layout and contents of message fields.
During communications over a Modbus RTU network, the
protocol determines:
How each controller learns its device address

Recognizes a message addressed to it
Determines which actions to take
Extracts any data or other information contained
in the message
If a reply is required, the controller constructs the reply

message and sends it.
Controllers communicate using a master-follower
technique in which only the master can initiate
transactions (called queries). Followers respond by
supplying the requested data to the master, or by taking
the action requested in the query.
The master can address individual followers, or can initiate
a broadcast message to all followers. Followers return a
response to queries that are addressed to them
individually. No responses are returned to broadcast
queries from the master. The Modbus RTU protocol
establishes the format for the masters query by providing
the device (or broadcast) address, a function code defining
the requested action, any data to be sent, and an errorchecking field. The followers response message is also
constructed using Modbus protocol. It contains fields
confirming the action taken, any data to be returned, and
an error-checking field. If an error occurs in receipt of the
message, or if the follower is unable to perform the
requested action, the follower constructs an error message,
and send it in response, or a time-out occurs.
Danfoss assumes that the installed controller supports the

interfaces in this document, and strictly observes all
requirements and limitations stipulated in the controller
and frequency converter.

7.8.2 Modbus RTU Message Structure

The transmitting device places a Modbus RTU message
into a frame with a known beginning and ending point.
This allows receiving devices to begin at the start of the
message, read the address portion, determine which
device is addressed (or all devices, if the message is
broadcast), and to recognise when the message is
completed. Partial messages are detected and errors set as
a result. Characters for transmission must be in
hexadecimal 00 to FF format in each field. The frequency
converter continuously monitors the network bus, also
during silent intervals. When the first field (the address
field) is received, each frequency converter or device
decodes it to determine which device is being addressed.
Modbus RTU messages addressed to zero are broadcast
messages. No response is permitted for broadcast
messages. A typical message frame is shown in Table 7.14.

7 7
7 7
7.8.3 Start/Stop Field
7.8.6 Data Field
Messages start with a silent period of at least 3.5 character

intervals. This is implemented as a multiple of character
intervals at the selected network baud rate (shown as Start
T1-T2-T3-T4). The first field to be transmitted is the device
address. Following the last transmitted character, a similar
period of at least 3.5 character intervals marks the end of
the message. A new message can begin after this period.
The entire message frame must be transmitted as a
continuous stream. If a silent period of more than 1.5
character intervals occurs before completion of the frame,
the receiving device flushes the incomplete message and
assumes that the next byte is the address field of a new
message. Similarly, if a new message begins before 3.5
character intervals after a previous message, the receiving
device considers it a continuation of the previous message.
This causes a time-out (no response from the follower),
since the value in the final CRC field is not valid for the
combined messages.
The data field is constructed using sets of 2 hexadecimal

digits, in the range of 00 to FF hexadecimal. These are
made up of one RTU character. The data field of messages
sent from a master to follower device contains additional
information which the follower must use to take the action
defined by the function code. This can include items such
as coil or register addresses, the quantity of items to be
handled, and the count of actual data bytes in the field.
7.8.4 Address Field

The address field of a message frame contains 8 bits. Valid
follower device addresses are in the range of 0-247
decimal. The individual follower devices are assigned
addresses in the range of 1-247. (0 is reserved for
broadcast mode, which all followers recognise.) A master
addresses a follower by placing the follower address in the
address field of the message. When the follower sends its
response, it places its own address in this address field to
let the master know which follower is responding.
7.8.5 Function Field

The function field of a message frame contains 8 bits. Valid
codes are in the range of 1-FF. Function fields are used to
send messages between master and follower. When a
message is sent from a master to a follower device, the
function code field tells the follower what kind of action to
perform. When the follower responds to the master, it uses
the function code field to indicate either a normal (errorfree) response, or that some kind of error occurred (called
an exception response). For a normal response, the
follower simply echoes the original function code. For an
exception response, the follower returns a code that is
equivalent to the original function code with its most
significant bit set to logic 1. In addition, the follower places
a unique code into the data field of the response message.
This tells the master what kind of error occurred, or the
reason for the exception. Also refer to 7.8.10 Function
Codes Supported by Modbus RTU and 7.8.11 Modbus
Exception Codes
88
7.8.7 CRC Check Field

Messages include an error-checking field, operating based
on a Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) method. The CRC
field checks the contents of the entire message. It is
applied regardless of any parity check method used for the
individual characters of the message. The CRC value is
calculated by the transmitting device, which appends the
CRC as the last field in the message. The receiving device
recalculates a CRC during receipt of the message and
compares the calculated value to the actual value received
in the CRC field. If the 2 values are unequal, a bus time-out
results. The error-checking field contains a 16-bit binary
value implemented as 2 8-bit bytes. When this is done, the
low-order byte of the field is appended first, followed by
the high-order byte. The CRC high-order byte is the last
byte sent in the message.
7.8.8 Coil Register Addressing

In Modbus, all data are organised in coils and holding
registers. Coils hold a single bit, whereas holding registers
hold a 2-byte word (that is 16 bits). All data addresses in
Modbus messages are referenced to zero. The first
occurrence of a data item is addressed as item number
zero. For example: The coil known as coil 1 in a
programmable controller is addressed as coil 0000 in the
data address field of a Modbus message. Coil 127 decimal
is addressed as coil 007EHEX (126 decimal).
Holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the
data address field of the message. The function code field
already specifies a holding register operation. Therefore,
the 4XXXX reference is implicit. Holding register 40108 is
addressed as register 006BHEX (107 decimal).

7.8.11 Modbus Exception Codes

For a full explanation of the structure of an exception code
response, refer to 7.8.5 Function Field.
For information on the parameters, size and converting

index, consult the product relevant programming guide.
Code Name
Meaning
The function code received in the query is

not an allowable action for the server (or
follower). This may be because the
function code is only applicable to newer
devices, and was not implemented in the
unit selected. It could also indicate that
the server (or follower) is in the wrong
state to process a request of this type, for
example because it is not configured and
is being asked to return register values.
Illegal
function
Illegal data
address
The data address received in the query is

not an allowable address for the server
(or follower). More specifically, the
combination of reference number and
transfer length is invalid. For a controller
with 100 registers, a request with offset
96 and length 4 would succeed, a request
with offset 96 and length 5 generates
exception 02.
Illegal data
value
A value contained in the query data field

is not an allowable value for server (or
follower). This indicates a fault in the
structure of the remainder of a complex
request, such as that the implied length is
incorrect. It specifically does NOT mean
that a data item submitted for storage in
a register has a value outside the
expectation of the application program,
since the Modbus protocol is unaware of
the significance of any particular value of
any particular register.
Reading 3-14 Preset Relative Reference (32bit): The holding

registers 3410 & 3411 holds the parameters value. A value
of 11300 (Decimal), means that the parameter is set to
1113.00 S.
Follower
An unrecoverable error occurred while the
device failure server (or follower) was attempting to
perform the requested action.
Table 7.20 Modbus Exception Codes
7.9.2 Storage of Data

The Coil 65 decimal determines whether data written to
the frequency converter are stored in EEPROM and RAM
(coil 65=1) or only in RAM (coil 65= 0).
7.9.3 IND
Some parameters in the frequency converter are array
parameters e.g. 3-10 Preset Reference. Since the Modbus
does not support arrays in the Holding registers, the
frequency converter has reserved the Holding register 9 as
pointer to the array. Before reading or writing an array
parameter, set the holding register 9. Setting holding
register to the value of 2, causes all following read/write to
array parameters to be to the index 2.
7.9.4 Text Blocks

Parameters stored as text strings are accessed in the same
way as the other parameters. The maximum text block size
is 20 characters. If a read request for a parameter is for
more characters than the parameter stores, the response is
truncated. If the read request for a parameter is for fewer
characters than the parameter stores, the response is space
filled.
7.9.5 Conversion Factor

The different attributes for each parameter can be seen in
the section on factory settings. Since a parameter value
can only be transferred as a whole number, a conversion
factor must be used to transfer decimals.
7.9.6 Parameter Values
7.9 How to Access Parameters

7.9.1 Parameter Handling
The PNU (Parameter Number) is translated from the
register address contained in the Modbus read or write
message. The parameter number is translated to Modbus
as (10 x parameter number) DECIMAL. Example: Reading
3-12 Catch up/slow Down Value (16bit): The holding register
3120 holds the parameters value. A value of 1352
(Decimal), means that the parameter is set to 12.52%
Standard data types

Standard data types are int16, int32, uint8, uint16 and
uint32. They are stored as 4x registers (400014FFFF). The
parameters are read using function 03HEX "Read Holding
Registers." Parameters are written using the function 6HEX
"Preset Single Register" for 1 register (16 bits), and the
function 10 HEX "Preset Multiple Registers" for 2 registers
(32 bits). Readable sizes range from 1 register (16 bits) up
to 10 registers (20 characters).

7 7
Non standard data types

Non standard data types are text strings and are stored as
4x registers (400014FFFF). The parameters are read using
function 03HEX "Read Holding Registers" and written using
function 10HEX "Preset Multiple Registers." Readable sizes
range from 1 register (2 characters) up to 10 registers (20
characters).

8.2 General Specifications

Protection and features
Electronic thermal motor protection against overload.

Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the frequency converter trips in case of overtemperature
The frequency converter is protected against short-circuits between motor terminals U, V, W.
When a motor phase is missing, the frequency converter trips and issues an alarm.
When a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips, when the intermediate
circuit voltage is too low or too high.
The frequency converter is protected against earth faults on motor terminals U, V, W.
