turbo blowers save energy in water treatment Aeration blowers have an important task in wastewater treatment, but their handicap is high energy consumption. Houston, Texas based HSI produces high speed turbo blowers which can reduce energy costs by 20-40%. They use Vacons NXP Liquid Cooled Drive for its small footprint and to control the speed of the motor. The liquid-coled drive also has only minimal power losses to the air, which reduces the need for drive cabinet ventilation. Many municipalities, such as The City of Louisville, Colorado have joined the green technology movement and purchased the HSI product. The wastewater treatment facility is now saving 25-30% in energy which will pay off the new equipment in 5-6 years.

drilling holes in canada Located in London, Ontario, Canada, Edge Automation provides engineering, machining, mill-wrighting, fabricating, PLC/electrical controls and on-site services. Vacon had proved to be a valuable partner in previous projects and it was decided early on that the Vacon NXP product platform would drive a new project; the heart of the 3-axis beam drilling system, the spindle. The drill head assembly weighs in excess of 4 tons and travels at speeds above 50 centimetres (20 inches) per second. This mass helps absorb drill vibration, making this the quietest drill on the market yet still keeping it agile and quick. This design produces the highest precision, the highest speeds and broadest power range of any drill machine in its class.
horse walkers driven by vacon x4 J P Livestock Co. in Marana, Arizona, has over 80 quarter* horses. It would take many cowboys to perform daily exercise routines for this many horses, but J P Livestock has a Trojan horse walker. Trojan manufactures state of the art horse walking machines with automated exercise programs to accommodate almost any need from exercise to rehabilitation. Trojan Horse Walkers provide all of these variations automatically in regard to speed, direction and time with a simple to use Vacon X4 drive. In fact, they went through six different manufacturers of VFDs and Vacon was the only one that was costeffective and user friendly. One step up from the Vacon X4 is the Vacon X5 model, which has a USB flash drive port that will allow Trojan to send a flash drive ready to go with an infinite number of programs to fit any horse walking, exercise or rehabilitation needs.
through hard rock with tunnel boring machines The Robbins Company, a USA-based company, is engaged in the design, manufacture, sale and rental of custom-made equipment for the underground excavation industry. Since 1990s, the Robbins company only uses liquid cooled drives to control their tunnel boring machines (TMBs), each of which includes 4-15 drives to control one cutterhead. Typical Robbins TBM applications include road, railway, cable, water and sewerage tunnels. TBMs are used to excavate circular cross-section tunnels through a wide variety of geology, from soils to hard rock. The main advantage of liquid cooling compared to air cooled drives in tunnel boring is space saving. Liquid cooled drives are also more suitable for severe and demanding conditions such as dust and humidity.
energy-efficient megaship in the caribbean The Oasis of the Seas which is a part of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship Fleet debuted in December 2009 as the worlds largest and most innovative cruise ship, featuring many cruise industry firsts. Energy efficiency and a low carbon footprint per passenger were central design criteria. The figures are impressive. Koja Marines air conditioning systems onboard the Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, which are powered by Vacon AC Drives uses no more power than that on the Freedom class vessels, which is a major achievement considering that the interior area is 43 % larger. The need for air-conditioning onboard varies depending on the specific function in an area and the number of passengers present. The 350 Vacon AC drives are a key technology that help Koja Marine meet this challenge, providing steeples speed control of the fan coil units.
retrofitting a raymond mill Gypsum is an ancient, versatile material that was once used as plaster in the Egyptian pyramids. Today it is most commonly used in gypsum board in homes and commercial buildings. Smooth grinding of the gypsum rock into fine powder is essential for guaranteeing the quality of the end product. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina in the USA, National Gypsum Company is a building products manufacturer and one of the leading gypsum board producers in the world. At its Portsmouth site in New Hampshire, Vacon X range AC drives were recently installed to improve process control of the Raymond mill - a powerful roller-style mill that takes raw gypsum rock and converts it into a fine powder. The mill was originally not fitted with variable speed, which caused problems and wasted energy.

The Vacon NX Family offers a high-performance control platform for all demanding drive applications. There are five slots (A, B, C, D and E) for I/O boards, and a suitable board can be selected for each slot (see table below). The Vacon NX Family drives are delivered with OPT-A1 and OPT-A2 boards if the I/O is not specified. In many countries, boards OPT-A1 and OPT-A3 are used as standard I/O as the galvanically isolated thermistor input is often required. Removable terminals, snap-in card installation, automatic card identification and instructions on the drive help making quick connections. If necessary, the inputs, outputs and fieldbus boards can be added in the field. The Vacon NX Family is simply the most flexible frequency converter series on the market. An external +24 V supply option enables communication with the control unit even if the mains supply is switched off (e.g. fieldbus communication and parameter settings).

software modularity
The All-in-One application package found in the Vacon NX Family has seven built-in software applications that, when selected, provide access to pre-defined parameter sets with the most common settings for simple setup based on only one parameter.
The user can select which application to use during either the Start-Up Wizard or setting the Application parameter at any time. With this one parameter, the drive can be quickly programmed for a Multi-pump application with autochange, pressure control with an integrated PID control or have access to all the parameters to build a completely custom solution.
vacon nx family
There are also many other software packages available for the Vacon NX Family that can be applied for various applications such as the PFC or Multi-Motor Control applications. Thanks to the open architecture of the Vacon NX Family, if there are requirements for more custom user applications, one can be created using the Vacon NC61131-3 Engineering tool.

The Vacon NXC regenerative and lowharmonic cabinet drives are a perfect choice for applications where low harmonics are required or where energy is fed back to the mains. clean Power saves costs The regenerative low-harmonic cabinet drive offers an excellent total solution to meet even the most demanding power quality requirements. The drive complies with the IEEE-519, G5/4 harmonic standards, when correctly installed. The low current THDi reduces supply currents and allows supply transformers, protection devices and power cables to be smaller. It brings savings for new and retrofit projects because there is no need to invest in expensive 12- or 18-pulse transformers when new or old existing 6-pulse transformers can be used. regenerative functionality saves energy The regenerative function makes it possible to feed energy back to the mains in energy generation applications or to improve the efficiency of the system when the braking power can be fed back to the mains. An additional advantage is simplified installation work and space savings when no brake resistors are needed. Power factor control imProves the suPPly The power factor of the active supply unit can be set in a wide range that makes it possible to minimize the required reactive power of the system. main features Clean power with total current harmonics less than 5% Regenerative function brings savings Power factor control Compact solution with a wide range of standard options available makes it easy to configure the drive

vacon drivesynch
The Vacon DriveSynch is a new, innovative control concept for running standard drives in parallel to control high-power AC motors. This concept suits highAuthor power single or multiple winding motors typically above 1 MW (1250 HP).
high-Power ac drives uP to 5 mw can be built using standard drive comPonents with the following benefits:
System is modular and easy to extend High total power can be obtained combining smaller drives The redundancy of the system is higher than in a conventional drive because each unit can be run independently The small size of the individual drive makes it easy to maintain and service Identical individual units reduce the required amount of spare parts and costs No special skills are required for engineering, installation, commissioning and maintenance of high-power drives as they are made from standard low-power modules Du/dt filter at the output of each individual unit ensures load balancing Can also run multiple winding motors with a phase shift between the windings

ultimate performance
The Vacon NXP drive is the most space-saving AC drive in the market. It is well suited for locations where air cooling would be difficult, expensive or impractical or where the installation space is at a premium.
The Vacon NXP Liquid Cooled drive, being extremely compact and versatile, is suitable for many different industry segments including Marine and Offshore, Pulp and Paper and Mining and Metal industries. The Vacon Liquid Cooled drives are available in power ranges from 7.5kW to 5000kW (10HP to 6000HP) with supply voltages ranging from 380V to 690V. The flexibility of the Vacon NXP control module allows for advanced control of induction and permanent magnet motors.
extremely versatile
Due to the flexibility of the Vacon NXP control module, all applications currently available for the NX family are also available for the Vacon Liquid Cooled drives. The small size and over 98% cooling efficiency allows the Vacon Liquid Cooled drives can be completely sealed in cabinets with an IP54/NEMA 12 or higher rating allowing the drives to be installed almost anywhere. The Vacon Liquid Cooled drives can also reduce or eliminate the need for large Air Conditioned process control rooms while keeping the audible noise in the control rooms down to practically a whisper.
designed reliability
Proven technology, high-quality electrical components Modularity No galvanic contact between coolant and power electronics Fulfils international safety and functionality standards, as well as classification requirements Liquid cooling guarantees more stable conditions High tolerance against environmental variations High cooling efficiency protects the drive in high ambient temperature environments Extensive and full power final testing on motor for whole drive system All IGBTs are protected against overtemperature and overload Double-shielded cooling circuitry
benefit
flexible installation
High power density, e.g, a 12-pulse CH74 is the smallest in the world; the rectifier, inverter and optional brake chopper in the same package. Extensive operating conditions, temperatures up to 50C without derating No need for filtered cooling air or for a large air conditioning system No large blowers reduces audible drive noise High IP/NEMA enclosure rating possible for almost any environment High cooling efficiency High switching frequency reduces current ripple for motor, improving motor loadability in AC drive applications
benefit
Reduced installation costs Install almost anywhere Practically silent operation Reduced footprint Increased energy savings
In warm climates it is extremely important to observe the amount of heat load transferred to the electrical room because it is in a direct relationship to the electrical energy consumption. The type-tested switchgears standard EN 60439-1 specifies that the electrical rooms 24-hour average temperature should be below +35C and the maximum temporary temperature cannot exceed +40C. Due to this, the cooling system in electrical rooms is typically based on air conditioning chillers, which are dimensioned by the maximum heat load, the inside temperature of the electrical room and the outdoor maximum temperature. The normal electrical energy consumption of air conditioning is 25...33% of the cooling power. Therefore, high-power drives are creating huge energy consumption, based on the heat load produced. The initial investments in the liquid cooled AC drives technology are slightly more expensive than those in the air cooled AC drives technology because of the technology used, cooling piping arrangements and heat exchanger systems. It is significant to understand that a heat exchanger needs also be compared to ventilation and air condition systems with ventilation ducts, ventilation machine and ventilation automation system.
The non-evaluated features remarkably decrease the payback time of the liquid cooled drives. The payback time of a single 650-kW liquid cooled drive is 3 years. The payback time of >1 MW high power drives or drive groups reduces significantly and the initial investment difference can be compensated during the first operating year. The electrical energy cost trend supports a wider use of the liquid cooled drives technology, and the number of on-shore installations is growing rapidly.

high configurability
Vacon offers a comprehensive range of common DC bus drive products. The product family covers a number of front-end units, inverter units and brake chopper units in the entire power range from 1 to 2000 kW (1-2500HP) at 380 VAC to 690 VAC. The drive components are built on the Vacon NX technology.
Common DC bus components are used in a multitude of combinations. In a typical DC bus configuration, the drives which are braking can transfer the energy directly to the drives in motoring mode.

front-end units
The front-end units convert a mains AC voltage and current into a DC voltage and current. The power is transferred from the mains to a common DC bus (and, in certain cases, vice versa). vacon afe unit The AFE (Active front-end) unit is a bidirectional (regenerative) power converter for the front-end of a common DC bus drive line-up. An external LCL filter is used at the input. This unit is suitable in applications where low mains harmonics are required. AFE is able to boost DC link voltage (default +10%) higher than nominal DC link voltage (1,35x UN). AFE needs an external pre-charging circuit. However, AFE does not need any external measurements to operate. AFE units can be connected parallel without any special connections between the units. AFE units can be connected to the same fieldbus with inverters, and they can be controlled and monitored via fieldbus. vacon ffe unit The FFE (Fundamental front-end) unit is a bidirectional (regenerative) power converter for the front-end of a common DC bus drive line-up. The FFE is a device that operates as a diode bridge for motoring power and like an anti-parallel thyristor bridge for regenerating power. In the FFE unit, IGBTs are used instead of thyristors. A dedicated external choke is used at the input. The FFE unit is suitable as a rectifying device when a normal level of harmonics is accepted but regeneration to the mains is required. There are many benefits when conparing with the anti-parallel thyristor bridges: no autotransformers are needed (for nominal DC link voltage 1,35xUN), max motor voltage is the same as supply voltage without autotransformer, controlled operation in case of supply failure and the spare parts are the same as in the inverter of the same size. FFE needs an external charging circuit. FFE unit can be connected to the same fieldbus with inverters, and it can be controlled and monitored via fieldbus. vacon nfe unit The NFE (Non-regenerative front-end) unit is a unidirectional (motoring) power converter for the front-end of a common DC bus drive line-up. The NFE is a device that operates as a diode bridge using diode/thyristor components. A dedicated external choke is used at the input. The NFE unit has the capacity to charge a common DC bus. This unit is suitable as a rectifying device when a normal level of harmonics is accepted and no regeneration to the mains is required. No external charging circuit is needed because the charging is made by the controlling thyristors. NFE units can be connected parallel without any special connections between the units. inverter unit The INU (Inverter unit) is a bidirectional DC-fed power inverter for the supply and control of AC motors. The INU is supplied from a common DC bus drive line-up. A charging circuit is needed in case the connection possibility to a live DC bus is required. The DC side charging circuit is integrated up to 75 kW (FR4-FR8) and external for higher power ratings (FI9-FI14). brake choPPer unit The BCU (Brake chopper unit) is a unidirectional power converter for the supply of excessive energy from a common DC bus drive line-up to resistors where the energy is dissipated as heat. External resistors are needed. By using two brake resistors, the braking power of the brake chopper is doubled.

2nd environment
The product family standard EN61800-3 sets limits for both emissions and immunity to radio frequency disturbances. The environment has been divided into the first and second environments, in practice, public and industrial networks, respectively. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) filters are typically required to meet the EN61800-3 standard. These filters are integrated in the Vacon NXP as standard. The 208240 V and 380500 V ranges of the Vacon NXP (FR4-FR9) meet the requirements of the first and second environments (H level: EN61800-3, category C2). No additional RFI filters or cabinets are required. The FR10-FR14 and the 500-690 V ranges of the Vacon NXP meet the requirements of the second environment (L-level: EN61800-3, category C3). The units in the frame sizes FR4, FR5 and FR6 (with a voltage range from 380 to 500 V) are also available with extremely low-emission integrated EMC filters (C level: EN61800-3, category C1). This is sometimes required in very sensitive locations such as hospitals.

load characteristics
AC drive applications come in all shapes and sizes but they are grouped into one of three basic categories: Constant Torque, Variable Torque or Constant Horsepower. Each system has unique characteristics and sizing of the drive is dependent on the application type as well as the specific characteristics of the given load. A look at each type will help determine in which application category your machine resides. constant torque Constant torque applications are the most common type of load. The basic characteristic is that load demands are the same throughout the designed speed range of the machine. The drive system, consisting of the AC drive and motor, can supply constant torque because the motor can deliver the required horsepower proportional to the speed across the operating range. Matching drive and motor performance is essential to making sure you have enough power for the application. Constant torque loads are found in most industrial environments. Applications such as conveyers, positive displacement pumps, extruders, and hoists are good examples of this loading characteristic. Overloads, shock loading and high-inertia loads are also potential loading issues that are found in constant torque applications. This is where the issue of Normal Duty versus Heavy Duty comes into play. Three basic characteristics are true for constant torque applications: 1. The same amount of torque is needed to move the load regardless of the operating speed. 2. The load usually requires more torque to break the load loose and start the load moving than to keep it moving. 3. The load has the potential to exceed the motor power rating during operation. variable torque Fans and centrifugal pumps comprise the majority of loads found in the variable torque group. In a fan application, the torque demand will vary with the square of the change in speed and the power requirement will vary as the cube of the change in speed. At full speed, the load requirement is 100% torque and power, but a 50% change in speed creates a 75% decrease in torque demand and a 88% decrease in power required. Fans will occasionally have inertia issues that must be overcome on starting. Pumps have a similar load characteristic, but often have static pressure issues that must be overcome by the motor making them a little stubborn to start. For this reason, AC drives are excellent solutions for control of variable torque applications and provide both energy savings and a payback on the drive cost over a short time frame. It is important to look at the load inertia of a fan or the static pressure issues of a pump to consider the overall torque requirements and the short term overload requirements of the load. constant horsePower Sizing a drive on a constant horsepower application is the most difficult of the three types of applications. In this application type, the speed and torque demands have an inverse relationship. Torque demand is high at low speeds and is low at high speeds. Typical applications, such as center winders and some machine tools, require additional care when selecting a drive/motor combination. Sizing a drive/motor combination for any application is based on the torque demand both at starting and during operating speeds. But you must also account for the designed speed range and torque capacity of the motor. All AC motors have a designed operating range in which they can develop the optimum torque capacity based on the horsepower nameplate rating. Motors operating outside this designed speed range will not develop the torque required for the application. The current demand of the motor to develop this torque is the point at which the drive must be sized. Although drives are rated in horsepower, current capacity will be the deciding factor for reliable operation. drive overload caPacity Each of the Load Characteristics listed describes controlling a load from zero to the base speed of the motor. During acceleration and when extra load is momentarily applied, the demand on the motor and drive can exceed 100% of the capacity of the pair. Every drive and motor has overload capacity built into it for these occasions and the drives are self-protected to prevent damage. Drives like the Vacon X4 and X5 have a dual rating from an overload perspective. Both a Low Overload and a High Overload rating are available on each model. Repeated fast speed changes with high-inertia loads, excessive static friction, short term overloads, shock loading, or in the case of pumps, static pressure loads are potential reasons that might drive you to choose the High Overload rating of the inverter for sizing purposes. If there are no such issues, sizing the drive based on the Low Overload rating is appropriate. These ratings difference are represented as: Low Overload - 110% (120% for Vacon X Series) of nominal current for 60s every 10min High Overload - 150% of nominal current for 60s every 10min

A special type of noise resulting from AC drives sinusoidal waves with higher frequencies than the main power supply, which are transmitted back to the AC line.
holding torque
Sometimes called static torque, holding torque specifies the maximum external torque that can be applied to a stopped, energized motor without causing the rotor to rotate. Generally used as a figure of merit when comparing motors. An index of the amount of work a machine or motor can perform. One horsepower is equal to 746 watts. Since power is equal to torque multiplied by speed, horsepower is a measure of a motors torque and speed capability; e.g., a 1 HP motor will produce 36 lb-in. at 1,750 rpm. Formula: HP = Torque (lb-in.) x Speed (RPM)/63,025 or HP = Torque (lb-ft.) x Speed (RPM)/5,252 or HP = Volts x Amps x Efficiency/746 The International Electro-technical Commission, which writes international standards for electrical devices.

temperature, which is at the motors maximum rated temperature.
Pull-out torque
resolution
The smallest increment into which a parameter can be broken down. For example, a 1000 line encoder has a resolution of 1/1000 of a revolution. An electromagnetic feedback device that converts angular shaft position into analog signals. These signals can be processed in various ways, such as with an RDC (resolver-todigital converter) to produce digital position information. There are two basic types of resolvers: transmitter and receiver. A transmitter-type is designed for rotor primary excitation and stator secondary outputs. Position is determined by the ratio of the sine output amplitude to cosine output amplitude. A receiver-type is designed for stator primary excitations and rotor secondary output. Position is determined by the phase shift between the rotor output signal and one of the primary excitation signals. Oscillatory behavior caused by mechanical limitations. This behavior is usually thought of as continuous.

ringing
Oscillation of a system following a sudden change in state. Usually will diminish over time. The moving part of the motor. A control scheme used in AC drives to assist the motor in developing full torque capacity over the largest speed range. A motor model designed into the software of the drive makes assumptions based on commanded speed and current to calculate rotor position. These calculations are used to adjust the PWM signal and thus voltage and frequency to the motor. A high-performance control utilizing similar control scheme to a Flux Vector drive but coupled with a low-inertia PM motor. The time required for a parameter to stop oscillating or ringing and reach its final value. The part of the rotor that extends outside of the motor case and connects to the equipment to be rotated. A load that produces extremely high peak torque for very short duration. This type of load is associated with conveyorized grinding, crushing and separation processes. A gated diode that only allows current to pass through it when the current reaches a certain value, which turns on the SCR. DC drive converters typically use this device to transform AC current into a variable and tightly controlled form of DC current.
speed
Describes the linear or rotational velocity of a motor or other object in motion. The designed operational limits of an AC drive motor combination. Typically stated as a ratio such as 20:1 to indicate base frequency down to 1/20 th of its base speed (1800 to 90 rpm). The ability to have the load run at the precise speed it is commanded. Usually requires a feedback device and software within the control to look at the commanded speed and the actual speed and make the necessary adjustment. The amount of torque developed with voltage applied and shaft locked, or not rotating. Also known as locked-rotor torque. The non-moving part of the motor. Specifically, it is the iron core with the wire winding in it that is pressed into the frame shell. The winding pattern determines the voltage constant of the motor. A motor rotating at a speed corresponding correctly to the applied frequency is said to be synchronized. Load torque in excess of the motors capacity (rated torque) will cause a loss of synchronism. The rotational speed on an AC motor if the rotor and the stator are exactly at the same point in time. This speed assumes no slip is occurring. A device that monitors the actual speed of the motor. Feedback signal is usually an analog DC signal rated at so many volts per 1000 RPM.

tcP
Transmission Control Protocol, is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. See above.
The amount of braking capacity designed into the drive for stopping a regenerative load or torque required to stop the load. The amount of torque it takes to accelerate the load to full speed. Defined as the motors holding torque divided by the inertia of its rotor. The higher the ratio, the higher a motors maximum acceleration capability will be. A means of allowing an operator to program control references to the drive/motor system, and to monitor motor and drive operating conditions. Loads in applications that exhibit both increases in torque and horsepower as speed increases. A reference to drives because they manipulate the voltage supplied to the motor. The change in position as a function of time. Velocity has both a magnitude and sign. The force that pushes or pulls electrons, causing them to flow. A type of noise in which large quantities are suddenly transmitted across the line. A type of AC control scheme that controls the frequency of AC power output to the motor, and does not use feedback devices.
tcP/iP
user/operator interface
thermal resistance An indication of how effectively a unit rids itself of heat; a measure of (rth) (c/watt)
temperature rise per watts lost.
thermostat
A temperature sensitive pilot duty device mounted on the interior of the motor to protect it from overheating. Measure of angular force that produces rotational motion. This force is defined by a linear force multiplied by a radius; e.g. lb-in. Torque is an important parameter of any motion control system. Formula: Torque (lb-ft.) = 5,250 x HP/RPM An expression of the relationship between input current and output torque. For each ampere of current, a fixed amount of torque is produced.
