sensitive to static electricity. Voltages so low
that they cannot be felt, seen or heard, can reduce
the life, affect performance, or completely destroy
sensitive electronic components. When performing
service, proper ESD equipment should be used to
prevent possible damage from occurring.
The VLT Adjustable Frequency Drive

contains dangerous voltages when
connected to line voltage. After
disconnecting from the line wait at least 20 minutes for
200 and 400 V units (VLT 4452-4652: Wait at least 40
minutes) and 30 minutes for 525-600 V units before
touching any electrical components. Also make sure
that other voltage inputs have been disconnected,
such as external 24 VDC, load-sharing (linkage of DC
intermediate circuit), as well as the motor connection for
kinetic back-up. Only a competent electrician should
carry out the electrical installation. Improper installation
of the motor or the VLT may cause equipment failure,
serious injury or death. Follow this manual and National
Electrical Codes (NEC ) and local safety codes.

■ AEO - Automatic Energy Optimization

Normally, the U/f characteristics have to be set on the
basis of the expected load at different frequencies.
However, knowing the load at a given frequency in
an installation is often a problem. This problem can
be sol-ved by using a VLT 4000 VT with its integral
Automatic Energy Optimization (AEO), which ensures
optimum energy utilization. All VLT 4000 VT units
feature this function as a factory setting, i.e. it is
not necessary to adjust the AFD U/f ratio in order to
obtain maximum energy savings. In other AFDs, the
given load and voltage/frequency ratio (U/f) must be
assessed to carry out correct setting of the AFD. If the AEO function has been selected in parameter

Introduction
■ Type code ordering number string
On the basis of your order, the VLT AFD is given an
ordering number that can be seen from the nameplate
on the unit. The number may look as follows:
VLT-4008-V-T4-CN1-ST-R0-DL-F00-A31-C0

VLT 4000 VTprotection:
• Electronic motor thermal protection against overload.
• Temperature monitoring of heat-sink ensures that the VLT AFD cuts out if the temperature reaches 90°C
for Chassis and NEMA 1. For NEMA 12, the cut-out temperature is 80°C. An overtemperature can only
be reset when the temperature of the heat-sink has fallen below 60°C.

VLT® 4000 VT
For the units mentioned below, the limits are as follows:
- VLT 4152, 380-460 V, cuts out at 75 °C and can be reset if the temperature is below 60 °C.
- VLT 4202, 380-460 V, cuts out at 80 °C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60° C.
- VLT 4452-4652, 380-460 V, cuts out at 85° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60°.
- VLT 4102-4152, 525-600 V, cuts out at 75° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below
60° C.
- VLT 4202, 525-600 V, cuts out at 80° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60° C.
- VLT 4252-4402, 525-600 V, cuts out at 100° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below
70° C.
• The VLT AFD is protected against short-circuiting on motor terminals U, V, W.
• The VLT AFD is protected against ground fault on motor terminals U, V, W.
• Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the VLT AFD cuts out if the intermediate circuit
Installation
voltage gets too high or too low.
• If a motor phase is missing, the VLT AFD cuts out.
• If there is a line fault, the VLT AFD is able to carry out a controlled deramping.
• If a line phase is missing, the VLT AFD will cut out when a load is placed on the motor.

in the list must be observed to avoid serious damage
or injury, especially when installing large units.
The VLT AFD must be installed vertically.
The VLT AFD is cooled by means of air circulation.

For the unit to be able to release its cooling air, the
minimum distance over and below the unit must
be as shown in the illustration below.
To protect the unit from overheating, it must be ensured
that the ambient temperature does not rise above the
max. temperature stated for the VLT AFD and that
the 24-hour average temperature is not exceeded.
The max. temperature and 24-hour average can be

■ High voltage test

A high voltage test can be carried out by short-circuiting
terminals U, V, W, L1, L2 and L3 and energizing
by max. 2.5 kV DC for one second between
this short-circuit and the chassis.
NOTE
The RFI switch must be closed (position ON)
when high voltage tests are carried out . The
line and motor connection must be interrupted
in the case of high voltage tests of the total installation
if the leakage currents are too high.
■ Heat emission from VLT 4000 VT

The tables in General technical data show the power
loss Pϕ (W) from VLT 4000 VT. The maximum cooling air
temperature tIN, MAX is 40° at 100% load (of rated value).
Installation
■ Ventilation of integrated VLT 4000 VT
The quantity of air required for cooling AFD
can be calculated as follows:
1. Add up the values of P for all the AFDs to be

integrated in the same panel.
The highest cooling air temperature (tIN ) present
must be lower than tIN, MAX (40°C).
The day/night average must be 5°C lower.
The outlet temperature of the cooling air must
not exceed: tOUT, MAX (45° C).
2. Calculate the permissible difference between
the temperature of the cooling air (tIN) and
its outlet temperature (tOUT):
t= 45° C-tIN.
3. Calculate the required
Insert t in Kelvin
The outlet from the ventilation must be placed

above the highest-mounted AFD.
Allowance must be made for the pressure loss
across the filters and for the fact that the pressure
is going to drop as the filters are choked.

The drawing below indicates how correct Wrong grounding

grounding is carried out. Do not use twisted cable ends (pigtails), since these
increase the shield impedance at high frequencies.
Protection with respect to ground potential

between PLC and VLT
If the ground potential between the VLT AFD and the
PLC (etc.) is different, electric noise may occur that will
disturb the whole system. This problem can be solved
by fitting an equalizing cable, to be placed next to the
control cable. Minimum cable cross-section: 8 AWG.
For 50/60 Hz ground loops

If very long control cables are used, 50/60 Hz
ground loops may occur that will disturb the
whole system. This problem can be solved by
connecting one end of the shield to via a ground
100nF capacitor (keeping leads short).
Cables for serial communication

Low-frequency noise currents between two VLT AFD
can be eliminated by connecting one end of the
shield to terminal 61. This terminal is connected to
ground via an internal RC link. It is recommended
to use twisted-pair cables to reduce the differential
mode interference between the conductors.

in parameter 426, PID Differentiator gain limit.
Lowpass filter
If there are ripple currents/voltages on the feedback
signal, these can be dampened by means of a built-in
lowpass filter. Set a suitable lowpass filter time constant.
This time constant represents the limit frequency of
the ripples occurring on the feedback signal.
If the lowpass filter has been set to 0.1s, the limit
frequency will be 10 RAD/sec., corresponding to (10/
2 x π ) = 1.6 Hz. This means that all currents/voltages
that vary by more than 1.6 oscillations per second
will be removed by the filter.
In other words, regulation will only be carried out
on a feedback signal that varies by a frequency of
less than 1.6 Hz. Choose a suitable time constant
in parameter 427, PID Lowpass filter time.
Optimisation of the process regulator

The basic settings have now been made; all that
remains to be done is to optimize the proportional

VLT 4000 VT in any way by switching on the output.
However, fault messages may appear.
Motor-generated overvoltage
The voltage in the intermediate circuit is increased when
the motor acts as a generator. This occurs in two cases:
1. The load drives the motor (at constant
output frequency from the AFD), i.e. the
load generates energy.
2. During deceleration ("ramp-down") if the moment of
inertia is high, the load is low and the ramp-down
time is too short for the energy to be dissipated as a
loss in the VLT AFD, the motor and the installation.

Based on the graph outlined above, it is possible to

calculate the system efficiency at different speeds.
The efficiency of a motorconnected to the AFD
depends on the sine shape of the current. In gene-ral,
the efficiency is just as good as with line operation. The
efficiency of the motor depends on the type of motor.
In the range of 75-100% of the rated torque,

the efficiency of the motor is practically constant,
both when it is controlled by the AFD and
when it runs directly on line.
In small motors, the influence from the U/f characteristic

on efficiency is marginal; however, in motors from 15
HP and up, the advantages are significant.
