Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 Introduction The LMV3 features an integrated, closed-loop Variable Speed Drive (VSD) control that is typically used to ramp the speed of the combustion air blower with firing rate. This is accomplished by transmitting a 0- 10 VDC or a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal from the LMV3 to the VSD, and then reading back the speed of the blower motor.
Page 107
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 As mentioned above, VFDs switch multiple IGBTs on and off very rapidly to generate a "modified" sine wave on all three phases going to the motor. Doing this has some tradeoffs, one of which is electrical noise, or harmonics.
Page 108
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 In general, a line reactor is recommended if the supply capacity (kVA) of the transformer feeding the drive is greater than or equal to 10 times the capacity (kVA) of the drive for transformers 600 kVA and larger.
Page 109
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 NOTE: The DC bus runs at voltages substantially higher than the incoming voltage to the drive (about 35% higher) and typically employs large capacitors. These capacitors remain charged for a period of time after the incoming power to the drive is de-energized, and are a shock hazard until they discharge.
Page 110
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 The DC bus can absorb a small amount of energy in the DC bus capacitors. However, if the motor generates more than what these capacitors can absorb, the DC bus voltage will rise to critical levels and one of two actions will be taken by the VFD.
Page 111
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 Types of VFDs: Vector and Volt/Hz Although there are over a hundred different manufacturers of VFDs, two main types of VFDs are produced by these manufacturers for use on blower motors. These two types are Vector and Volt/Hz. Vector VFDs can usually be run in either Vector mode or Volt/Hz mode.
Page 112
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 2. The stopping method (after the run / stop contact is opened) should be set to "Coast to Stop" to let the motor coast to a stop after post-purge. 3. Reverse operation (the ability to reverse the motor with an input) should be disabled. 4.
Page 113
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 Brushless DC Blowers (PWM Blowers) Another common type of variable speed blower used with the LMV3 is the brushless DC blower, commonly referred to as a PWM blower. These blowers typically have the variable speed drive and DC brushless motor integrated into one blower mounted unit.
Page 114
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 Centrifugal Blower Fundamentals Since a centrifugal blower is the piece of machinery being controlled by the LMV3, a brief mention of its basic characteristics is warranted. Specifically, there are three fundamental "fan laws" that a person working with such equipment should be aware of.
Page 115
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 Standardized Speed - Standardizing the LMV3 After the VSD blower is installed, wired and programmed correctly (see Section 2 for wiring), the LMV3 must be standardized. The purpose of the standardization (calibration) procedure is to establish a relationship between the speed signal sent to the VSD (0-10 VDC or PWM) and the actual speed (RPM) of the blower wheel.
Page 117
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 NOTE: The total time of the standardization shown in Figure 5-3 is 70 seconds with a VFD ramp time of 30 seconds. Longer VFD / LMV3 ramp times will increase the total time taken for the standardization.

LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 If the speed control signal is increased to the maximum allowable signal and the blower RPM is still low, an Error Code 83, Diagnostic Code 2 will be displayed on the AZL. If the speed control signal is decreased to the minimum allowable signal and the blower RPM is still high, an Error Code 83, Diagnostic Code 1 will be displayed on the AZL.
Page 120
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 Blower Speed Monitoring The LMV3 relies on its connected devices to achieve an accurate, repeatable fuel-to-air ratio from low fire to high fire. These connected devices are typically the SQM33 actuators and a VSD blower. The accuracy and repeatability of the burner’s fuel-to-air ratio is directly dependent on how accurately the actuators can be positioned, and how accurately the blower’s speed can be controlled.

Page 122
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 Looking at the blower speed monitoring bands in Figure 5-5, and also the standardized speed baseline shown in Figure 5-4, it is clear that the LMV3 expects the VSD blower to have a linear response through the operating range.
Page 123
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 For the standardized speed and the setting of parameter 662 shown above, the blower can deviate from the standardized speed baseline by +/- 2.5% of the standardized speed (+/- 89 RPM) at anywhere from 10% to 100% VSD without causing the LMV3 to pause modulation.
Page 124
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 Suggested Setup Procedure for the VSD Control – Parallel Positioning Application After verifying that all VSD blower-related components are installed and wired correctly, the LMV3 control can be programmed for the VSD blower application. Naturally, this must be done before the Ratio Control Curves are commissioned.
Page 125
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 2. Determine if separate ramping of VSD and air damper is necessary when driving from pre-purge to ignition. If separate ramping is used, the air damper stays at pre-purge position while the VSD ramps down to ignition position.
Page 126
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 7. Set the VSD blower speed monitoring bands to values that are safe for the application. See complete explanation of these bands detailed earlier in this section a. VFDs with three phase blowers are typically more accurate from a speed control standpoint, especially if a vector type of VFD is used.
Page 127
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 Suggested Setup Procedure for the VSD Speed Shift The LMV3 also features a VSD speed shift, which enables the VSD speed curve to be shifted up or down a limited amount at any point on the fuel-to-air ratio control curve. This feature enables the LMV3 to accept a 4-20mA signal from an external device to shift the VSD speed, which “trims”...
Page 128
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 After these points are considered, the LMV3 parameters can be set for the application. 1. Set the expected amount of speed shift. This can be changed at any point in time, even with the burner running, so if the exact value is not known a conservative approach (smaller magnitude number) is recommended.

LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 Changing the VSD Shift High and the VSD Shift Low values limits the amount of trim. This is done by cutting down the range of the 4-20mA signal, not re-spanning the 4-20mA signal. In other words, each 0.4mA of signal change will always equal 1% VSD trim.
Page 130
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 When set to Options 1 or 2 (activated or activated with analog input test), the VSD speed will be shifted from the base VSD curve using the 4-20mA analog signal. This shift will occur when the LMV3 reaches phase 60, and the shift delay (parameter 550/570) has timed out.
Page 131
LMV Series Technical Instructions Document No. LV3-1000 Additional Tips for Burners with VSD Speed Shift The VSD speed shift occurs rather slowly. The rate at which the shift occurs is 1% VSD shift every 2 • seconds until the targeted shift is reached. If the VSD speed shift is used as part of an O trim system, this must be taken into account.
Page 132
Technical Instructions LMV Series Document No. LV3-1000 Additional Tips for Burners with VSD Control Most of the time, speed faults that are seen on the LMV3 are caused by the VFD not being able to • decelerate the blower quickly enough when the blower is being ramped down. If fast ramp times are not critical for the application, ramp times can be increased and this should correct the issue.
