1. SAFETY
ONLY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN MAY CARRY OUT

THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1.1 Warnings
1 The components of the power unit circuit are live when the Non-
Regenerative Front End is connected to AC supply. Coming into contact
with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe
injury. The control unit is isolated from mains potential.
2 The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains potential. Howev-
er, the relay outputs and other I/O-terminals may have dangerous control
voltage present even when the Non-Regenerative Front End is discon-
! nected from the AC supply.
WARNING 3 Do not touch the components on the circuit boards. Static voltage dis-
charge may damage the components.
1.2 Safety Instructions
1 The Non-Regenerative Front End, AC choke and optional components are

meant for fixed installations only.
2 Do not perform any measurements when the Non-Regenerative Front

End is connected to the AC supply.
3 After having disconnected the Non-Regenerative Front End from the AC

supply, wait until the fan stops. Wait 5 more minutes before doing any
work on the Non-Regenerative Front End connections. Do not even open
the cover before this time has expired.
4 Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of the Non-
Regenerative Front End. There is a certain procedure according to which
the tests shall be performed. Ignoring this procedure may result in dam-
aged product.
5 Before connecting the Non-Regenerative Front End to AC supply, make

sure that the Non-Regenerative Front End front and cable covers are
closed.
6 Before doing any work on Common DC bus, system shall be earthen.
1.3 Earthing

2. EU DIRECTIVE
2.1 CE marking
The CE marking on the product guarantees the free movement of the product within the EEA (European
Economic Area). It also guarantees that the product complies with applicable directives (for example, the
EMC directive and other possible so-called new method directives). Vacon NX Non-Regenerative Front End
carries the CE label as a proof of compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC) directive. SGS FIMKO has acted as the Notified Body.
2.2 EMC directive

2.2.1 Introduction
The EMC Directive provides that the electrical apparatus must not excessively disturb the environment it is
used in, and, on the other hand, it shall have an adequate level of immunity toward other disturbances from
the same environment.
The compliance of Vacon NX Non-Regenerative Front End with the EMC directive is verified with Technical
Construction Files (TCF) and checked and approved by SGS FIMKO, which is a Notified Body. The Technical
Construction Files are used to authenticate the conformity of Vacon NX Non-Regenerative Front End with
the Directive because it is impossible to test such a large product family in a laboratory environment and
because the combinations of installation vary greatly.

3.4 Maintenance
All technical devices, drives as well, need a certain amount of care-taking and failure preventive mainten-
ance. To maintain trouble-free operation of the Vacon NX Non-Regenerative Front End, environmental
conditions, as well as load, line power, process control, etc. have to be within specifications, determined by
manufacturer.
If all conditions are in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, there are no other concerns, but
to provide a cooling capacity high enough for the power- and control circuits. This requirement can be met
by making sure, that the cooling system works properly. Operation of cooling fans and cleanness of the
heat sink should be verified regularly.
Regular maintenance is recommended to ensure trouble free operation and long lifetime of Vacon NX Non-
Regenerative Front End. At least the following things should be included in the regular maintenance.

4. NON-REGENERATIVE FRONT END (NFE)

4.1 Introduction
The Vacon NX Non-Regenerative Front End is used to transfer power between the AC input and intermedi-
ate DC circuit. The Vacon NX Non-Regenerative Front End has only a one-way function. This means that
when power can only transferred from the AC input to the intermediate DC circuit. If braking is needed
brake chopper has to be connected to the intermediate DC circuit.
In a typical Vacon NX Non-Regenerative Front End configuration, the desired number of Inverters, Figure
4-1, are connected to the intermediate DC circuit.
The Non-Regenerative Front End configuration consists of the unit itself, AC choke, AC fuses, main contac-
tor and DC fuses, Figure 4-2.

4.9 Non-Regenerative Front End – Fuse selection

4.9.1 Introduction
AC fuses are used to protect the input network in case the Non-Regenerative Front End unit or the AC
choke is faulty. DC fuses are used to protect the Non-Regenerative Front End unit and the AC choke in case
there is a short circuit in the DC buses. If DC fuses are not used, short-circuit in the DC buses will cause a
loading of the Non-Regenerative Front End unit. Vacon Plc will not assume any responsibility for damages
caused by insufficient protection.

4.10 Non-Regenerative Front End unit – Circuit breaker selection

The Non-Regenerative Front End can also be protected by a circuit-breaker. The recommended type of cir-
cuit-breaker is shown in Table 4-10. If a circuit-breaker from another manufacturer is used, it must be
equivalent to the circuit-breaker shown. Further information on the circuit-breaker shown is available
from the manufacturer. Circuit-breaker does not provide the same level of protection as fuses. A circuit-
breaker can be used without a main contactor. The circuit-breakers shown are suitable for equipment
rated at 380–690 V.

4.11 Non-Regenerative Front End unit – Main contactor

If a main contactor is to be used, the type shown in Table 4-11 are recommended. If a contactor from an-
other manufacturer is used, it must be equivalent to the types shown. Further information on the contactor
shown is available from the manufacturer.
Table 4-11. Recommended main contactor type.
4.12 Pre-Charging
External pre-charging circuit is not needed with the Non-Regenerative Front End. Pre-charging is done by
controlling thyristors and the DC link voltage is charged smoothly. Pre-charging is current limit controlled.
Due to this, the charging time varies depending on DC link capacitance. The Non-Regenerative Front End
performs charging without any additional control when the main contactor is closed. If Non-regenerative
Front Ends are parallelly connected, each module charges DC link voltage independently. Parallelly con-
nected modules can be connected to the supply simultaneously or one module at a time. See Appendix 7-2
for the circuit diagram of parallelly connected NFE modules.
The Non-Regenerative Front End monitors the pre-charging process. If the time of charging is over the ad-
justable pre-charging monitoring time (default 10s) a fault is indicated. If the DC link capacitance is so high
that the default value for charging monitoring is not enough, the value can be increased.
4.13 Paralleling
The power of the input group can be increased by connecting several Non-Regenerative Front End units in
parallel. No communication between the units is required; they work independently.
Each Non-Regenerative Front End unit connected in parallel must have its own short-circuit protection on
AC and DC sides. The fuses are selected in accordance with Section 4.9. When paralleling, attention must
be paid to the sufficient short-circuit capacity of the system.
The derating of Non-Regenerative Front End units connected in parallel is 5% of the DC power; this should
be taken into account when selecting the input unit.
If a device is to be isolated from the AC and DC voltages, and other Non-Regenerative Front End units con-
nected in parallel are also to be used, separate isolators are required in the AC input and DC output. The
AC input can be isolated using a compact circuit-breaker, an ordinary circuit-breaker or a fuse switch.
Contactors are not suitable for isolating the AC input because they cannot be locked in the safe position.
The DC output can be isolated using a fuse switch. A load isolation switch or safety isolation switch can be
used for this. The device can also be connected to mains even when the other devices connected in parallel
are already connected and running. After this, the device can be connected to the intermediate circuit.
Note: Parallel connection means that the AC supply of more than one units connected together from DC link is cou-
pled with the same supply transformer.
4.14 12-pulse solution

In 12-pulse solution the supply transformer has two galvanically separated secondary circuits, see Appen-
dix 7-3. The 12-pulse solution can reduce the effect of harmonic waves of the current in the supply net-
work. In order to reduce the effect of harmonics, there must be a phase displacement of 90º between the
secondary circuits of the transformer. The phase displacement is implemented by connecting one second-
ary circuit to triangle and the other to star. In 12-pulse solution there must be an equal number of non-
regenerative units connected to the both secondary coils of the supply transformer.

4.15 Derating
The output power has to be derated if one of following cases:
Ambient temperature is more than 40ºC
Installation altitude is more than 2000 m
4.15.1 As the Ambient Temperature

The power rating of the Non-Regenerative Front End unit is valid for an ambient temperature of 40ºC. If the
device is to be used in higher ambient temperatures, its power rating must be subjected to derating. The
derating coefficient is 1.5%/1ºC, for ambient temperatures not exceeding 50ºC. The reduced power is cal-
culated using the formula:
Pde Pn * ((100% (t 40º C) * x)/100)

Pn = nominal power of the unit
t = ambient temperature

4.15.2 As the Installation altitude

The power rating of the Non-Regenerative Front End unit is valid for a maximum installation altitude of
3,000 m (380-690 V). If the device is to be used in higher installation altitudes temperatures, its power rat-
ing must be subjected to derating. The derating coefficient is 1.5%/100m. The power rating of the device
can be reduced to a maximum installation altitude of 3,000 m. The reduced power is calculated using the
formula:
Pde Pn * ((100% (hinst hbase ) * x)/100)

5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Mounting
The equipment mounting must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the equipment. The enclosure class
of the equipment will depend on the mounting and solutions to be used. The equipment mounting must
provide sufficient shielding for contact of the live parts (IP2x). The installation and mounting must comply
with local laws and regulations.
5.1.1 Non-Regenerative Front End Unit
The Non-Regenerative Front End can be mounted in a vertical position on the back plane of a cubicle.
Enough space must be reserved around the Non-Regenerative Front End to ensure sufficient cooling, see
Figure 5-5. Follow the minimum dimensions for installation, see Table 5-1. Required cooling air capacity
and minimum air holes on the switchgear, see Table 5-2. Also make sure that the mounting plane is rela-
tively even. The Non-Regenerative Front End is fixed with four bolts, Figure 5-1.

5.1.2 AC choke
The AC choke can only be mounted in a vertical position on the floor of a cubicle. Enough space must be
reserved around the AC choke to ensure sufficient cooling, see Figure 5-7. Follow the minimum dimen-
sions for installation, see Table 5-3. Required cooling air capacity and minimum air holes on the switch-
gear, see Table 5-4. Also make sure that the floor is relatively even. AC choke must be attached properly
so that it will not be able to move.
AC choke can be mounted so that the connectors face forward or so that they face to the side. Figure 5-2
presents a mounting where the connectors face forward. Figure 5-3 presents a mounting where the con-
nectors face to the side. This mounting is recommended if the Non-Regenerative Front End units are par-
allelly connected. In this case it must be assured that the connectors face to the same direction and that
there is enough space between the connectors and the AC choke.

5.2.1 Non-Regenerative Front End unit
Enough free space must be left around the Non-Regenerative Front End unit to ensure sufficient air circu-
lation and cooling. You will find the required dimensions for free space in the table below. You will find the
required cooling air, minimum air holes and heat dissipation in the Table 5-2.
When planning the cooling for the space, take into consideration that the Non-Regenerative Front End unit
heat loss is approx. 1% of the nominal capacity. Air flow, see Figure 5-6.

5.2.3 Arranging ventilation of the enclosure

The enclosure door must be provided with air gaps for air intake. To achieve sufficient cooling inside the
cabinet, the dimensions for the total area of free openings for incoming air given in Table 5-2 and Table 5-4
must be followed. For instance, there could be two screened gaps as presented in Figure 5-8 (Vacon's rec-
ommendation). This layout ensures a sufficient air flow to the module fans as well as cooling of the addi-
tional components.
Air outlet gaps must be situated on top of the cabinet. The minimum effective air outlet area per unit frame
is given in Table 5-2 and Table 5-4. The cooling arrangements inside the cabinet must be such that they
prevent hot output air from mixing with the incoming fresh air (see Chapter Steering air flow).
The ventilation gaps must fulfill the requirements set by the selected IP class. The examples in this ma-
nual apply to protection class IP21.
During operation, air is sucked in and circulated by a fan blower at the bottom of the power unit. If the
power unit is placed in the upper part of the cabinet, the fan blower will be in the mid of the cabinet, at the
height of the upper ventilation grid. In case of the AC choke is installed below the Non-Regenerative Front
End unit air inlet 1.1 in Figure 5-8 cannot be used.

2. Hot air exhaust
5.2.4 Steering air flow

Cooling air must be taken in through the ventilation gaps on the door and blown out at the top of the enclo-
sure. To steer the hot air from the power unit to the outlet at the top of the enclosure and prevent it from
circulating back to the fan blower, use either of the following arrangements:

32 • vacon
A. Install a closed air duct from the power unit to the outlet on top of the enclosure (A in figures
below).
B. Install shields in the gaps between the power unit and the cabinet walls (B in figures below).
Place the shields above the air outlet gaps at the sides of the module.
Figure 5-9. Cabinet cooling airflow guides.

The sheet metal airflow guides (deflectors) prevents air circulation between different sections of the equipment.
The shield guides in prevent air circulation inside a section. The exhaust air holes must not be covered, nor
must anything be placed above them to stop the free exit of warm air from inside the equipment. The cooling air
intake holes must not be blocked in any way.
The materials used for preventing the circulation of air inside the equipment must be fire-restraining. The
edges must be sealed to prevent the formation of gaps. When the deflectors are made according to the instruc-
tions, no separate cooling fan is required.
NOTE! The deflectors must be installed above the air intake holes on the top (in the front) of the unit.
NOTE! If a flat roof is used, mount a V-shaped air guide on the underside of the roof to direct the air flow
horizontally. See Figure 5-10.

5.3 Power connection

5.3.1 AC connection
The 3-phase input is connected to the input terminals of the AC choke (L1, L2 and L3), see Figure 5-12.
Used input terminal are selected by supply voltage. The output terminals of the AC choke (L1, L2 and L3)
are connected to the input terminals of the NFE unit (L1, L2 and L3), see Figure 5-11. The AC input of the
NFE input group must be protected against short circuit. The fuses suitable for protection are shown in
Section 4.9. A circuit breaker can also be used for protection, see Section 4.10. The best short-circuit pro-
tection is achieved by using fuses. The short-circuit protection must be on the input side when seen from
the AC choke, Figure 4-2.
A cable or busbar designed for the purpose must be used to make the connection. The connection must be
dimensioned according to the nominal current rating of the Non-Regenerative Front End. The necessary
overloading allowance must also be used. The connection must also have the same short-circuit capacity
as the whole system. The connecting cable or busbar may be of copper or aluminium. When aluminium is
used, steps must be taken to prevent corrosion. The dimensions of the terminals in the unit are indicated
in Appendix 7-6.
