Categorization by frame size

Some information in this manual is only valid for certain drive frame sizes. Such
information includes the frame size indication, for example, frame R1. The type
designation label of the drive shows the frame size. The frame size for each drive type is
given in the drive hardware manual.

Quick planning guide

No. Step
1. Define a duty cycle diagram for each motor (shaft power). Select the motors and drives as
usual with the DriveSize PC tool by ABB. Do not consider the common DC system yet.
2. Define a DC link duty cycle for the common DC system, and define the key variables
P , P
mot,ave mot,max
See section Defining the DC link duty cycle and key variables
3. Select the drives that you will connect to the AC power line.
See section Selecting the drives which are connected to AC power line
4. Define the means to handle the surplus DC link energy (motor braking energy).
See Handling the surplus energy
5. Design the construction of the common DC link.
See section Constructing the DC link
6. Select the fuses and phase loss guards.
See section Selecting the fuses
7. Examine the need for DC contactors. If needed, select them.
See section DC contactors
8. Plan the interlocking and safety.
• See Connecting the Ready and Start enable signals
• Consider the use of safety circuits (such as emergency stop or Safe torque off) or control
signal interlocking for safe and reliable operation.
9. Select the measures necessary for the EMC. See section
(EMC) on page 35.
10. Repeat all design steps to verify the design.
