 Introduction VLT® Refrigeration Drive FC 103 Low Harmonic Drive

1 1 1.3.2 Working Principle

The low harmonic drive is a high-power frequency converter with an integrated active filter. An active filter is a device that
actively monitors harmonic distortion levels and injects compensative harmonic current onto the line to cancel the
harmonics.

Illustration 1.1 Basic Layout for the Low Harmonic Drive

Low harmonic drives are designed to draw an ideal sinusoidal current waveform from the supply grid with a power factor of
1. Where traditional non-linear load draws pulse-shaped currents, the low harmonic drive compensates that via the parallel
filter path, lowering the stress on the supply grid. The low harmonic drive meets the highest harmonic standards with a
THDi less than 5% at full load for <3% pre-distortion on a 3% unbalanced 3-phase grid.

Introduction Operating Instructions

1.6.4 IEC Harmonic Standards 1 1

The mains voltage is rarely a uniform sinusoidal voltage with constant amplitude and frequency because loads that draw
non-sinusoidal currents from the mains have non-linear characteristics.

Harmonics and voltage fluctuations are two forms of low-frequency mains interference. They have a different appearance at
their origin than at any other point in the mains system when a load is connected. So, a range of influences must be
determined collectively when assessing the effects of mains interference. These influences include the mains feed, structure,
and loads.

Mains interference can cause the following:

Undervoltage warnings
• Incorrect voltage measurements due to distortion of the sinusoidal mains voltage.
• Cause incorrect power measurements because only RMS-true measuring takes harmonic content into account.

Higher functional losses

• Harmonics reduce the active power, apparent power, and reactive power.
• Distort electrical loads resulting in audible interference in other devices, or in worst case, even destruction.
• Shorten the lifetime of devices as a result of heating.

In most of Europe, the basis for the objective assessment of the quality of mains power is the Electromagnetic Compatibility
of Devices Act (EMVG). Compliance with these regulations ensures that all devices and networks connected to electrical
distribution systems fulfil their intended purpose without generating problems.

Standard Definition
EN 61000-2-2, EN 61000-2-4, EN 50160 Define the mains voltage limits required for public and industrial power grids
EN 61000-3-2, 61000-3-12 Regulate mains interference generated by connected devices in lower current products
EN 50178 Monitors electronic equipment for use in power installations

Table 1.6 EN Design Standards for Mains Power Quality

There are 2 European standards that address harmonics in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 9 kHz:

EN 61000–2–2 (Compatibility Levels for Low-Frequency Conducted Disturbances and Signalling in Public Low-Voltage Power
Supply Systems) states the requirements for compatibility levels for PCC (point of common coupling) of low-voltage AC
systems on a public supply network. Limits are specified only for harmonic voltage and total harmonic distortion of the
voltage. EN 61000–2–2 does not define limits for harmonic currents. In situations where the total harmonic distortion
THD(V)=8%, PCC limits are identical to those limits specified in the EN 61000–2–4 Class 2.

EN 61000–2–4 (Compatibility Levels for Low-Frequency Conducted Disturbances and Signalling in Industrial Plants) states the
requirements for compatibility levels in industrial and private networks. The standard further defines the following 3 classes
of electromagnetic environments:

• Class 1 relates to compatibility levels that are less than the public supply network, which affects equipment
sensitive to disturbances (lab equipment, some automation equipment, and certain protection devices).
• Class 2 relates to compatibility levels that are equal to the public supply network. The class applies to PCCs on the
public supply network and to IPCs (internal points of coupling) on industrial or other private supply networks. Any
equipment designed for operation on a public supply network is allowed in this class.
• Class 3 relates to compatibility levels greater than the public supply network. This class applies only to IPCs in
industrial environments. Use this class where the following equipment is found:

Typically, a class cannot be defined ahead of time without taking into account the intended equipment and processes to be
used in the environment. VLT® Refrigeration Drive FC 103 Low Harmonic observes the limits of Class 3 under typical supply

1.6.5 IEEE Harmonic Standards

The IEEE 519 standard (Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical Power Systems)
provides specific limits for harmonic voltages and currents for individual components within the supply network. The
standard also provides limits for the sum of all loads at the point of common coupling (PCC).

To determine permissible harmonic voltage levels, IEEE 519 uses a ratio between the supply short-circuit current and the
maximum current of the individual load. For permissible harmonic voltage levels for individual loads, see Table 1.9. For
permissible levels for all loads connected to the PCC, see Table 1.10.

ISC/IL (RSCE) Permissible individual harmonic voltages Typical areas

10 2.5–3% Weak grid
20 2.0–2.5% 1–2 large loads
50 1.0–1.5% A few high-output loads
100 0.5–1% 5–20 medium-output loads
1000 0.05–0.1% Strong grid

Voltage at the PCC Permissible individual harmonic voltages Permissible THD(V)

VLine≤69 kV 3% 5%

Table 1.10 Permissible Voltage THD at the PCC for all Loads

Limit harmonic currents to specified levels, as shown in Table 1.11. IEEE 519 utilises a ratio between the supply short-circuit
current and the maximum current consumption at the PCC, averaged over 15 minutes or 30 minutes. In certain instances
when dealing with harmonic limits containing low harmonic numbers, the IEEE 519 limits are lower than the 61000-2-4
limits. Low harmonic drives observe the total harmonic distortion as defined in IEEE 519 for all Rsce. Each individual
harmonic current fulfills table 10-3 in IEEE 519 for Rsce≥20.

3.3.1 Cooling and Airflow

Cooling

3 3
Obtain cooling by taking air in through the plinth in the front and out of the top, in and out the back of the unit, or by
combining the cooling possibilities.
Back cooling
The backchannel air can also be ventilated in and out the back. This offers a solution where the backchannel could take air
from outside the facility and return the heat losses outside the facility, thus reducing air-conditioning requirements.
Airflow
Secure the necessary airflow over the heat sink. The flow rate is shown in Table 3.1.

see IEC 364-3. When optimum EMC performance is needed,
parallel motors are connected, or the motor cable length is
above 25 m, set parameter 14-50 RFI Filter to [ON].
In OFF, the internal RFI capacitors (filter capacitors)
between the enclosure and the DC link are cut off to avoid
damage to the intermediate circuit and reduce ground

Refer to the application note VLT on IT mains. It is
important to use isolation monitors that work together

Provide 3-phase power for electric blowers often required
for larger motors. Power for the starters is provided from

frequency converters is off. Up to 2 starters are allowed (1
if a 30 A, fuse-protected circuit is ordered), and are
integrated into the frequency converter STO circuit.
Unit features include:
• Operation switch (on/off).
• Short-circuit and overload protection with test

• Manual reset function.

• 3-phase power matching incoming mains voltage

• Terminals are off when the incoming power to

• Power for the fused protected terminals is
provided from the load side of any supplied
contactor, circuit breaker, or disconnect switch.
In applications where the motor is used as a brake, energy
is generated in the motor and sent back into the
frequency converter. If the energy cannot be transported
back to the motor, it increases the voltage in the frequency
converter DC line. In applications with frequent braking
and/or high inertia loads, this increase may lead to an
overvoltage trip in the frequency converter and finally a
shut down. Brake resistors are used to dissipate the excess
energy resulting from the regenerative braking. The resistor
is selected based on its ohmic value, its power dissipation

A trip is the action when an alarm has appeared. The trip disables the active filter and can be reset by pressing [Reset] or
resetting via a digital input (parameter group 5-1* Digital Inputs [1] Reset). The original event that caused an alarm cannot
damage the active filter or cause dangerous conditions. A trip lock is an action when an alarm occurs, which may cause
damage to active filter or connected parts. A trip lock situation can only be reset by a power cycling.

1) For type of fuse see chapter 8.4.1 Fuses.

2) American Wire Gauge.
3) Measured using 5 m screened motor cables at rated load and rated frequency.
4) The typical power loss is at nominal load conditions and expected to be within ±15% (tolerence relates to
variety in voltage and cable conditions). Values are based on a typical motor efficiency (eff2/eff3 border line).
Motors with lower efficiency also add to the power loss in the frequency converter and opposite. If the switching
frequency is increased comed to the default setting, the power losses may rise significantly. LCP and typical control
card power consumptions are included. Further options and customer load may add up to 30 W to the losses
(though typical only 4 W extra for a fully loaded control card, or options for slot A or slot B, each).
Although measurements are made with state-of-the-art equipment, some measurement inaccuracy must be
allowed for (±5%).

Protection and features:

• Electronic thermal motor protection against overload.
• Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the frequency converter trips if the temperature reaches a
predefined level. An overload temperature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heat sink is below the
allowed values.
• The frequency converter is protected against short circuits on motor terminals U, V, W.
• If a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
• Monitoring of the DC-link voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips if the intermediate circuit voltage is
too low or too high.
• The frequency converter is protected against ground faults on motor terminals U, V, W.
