Control Cable Routing - Danfoss VLT AQUA Drive FC 200 Operating Instructions Manual

How to Install
4.6.18 Motor Insulation
For motor cable lengths ≤ the maximum cable length
listed in 8 General Specifications the following motor
insulation ratings are recommended because the peak
voltage can be up to twice the DC link voltage, 2.8 times
the mains voltage, due to transmission line effects in the
motor cable. If a motor has lower insulation rating it is
recommended to use a dU/dt or sine wave filter.

4.6.19 Motor Bearing Currents
It is recommended that motors of a rating 110 kW or
higher operating via frequency converters should have
NDE (Non-Drive End) insulated bearings installed to
eliminate circulating bearing currents due to the physical
size of the motor. To minimize DE (Drive End) bearing and
shaft currents proper grounding of the frequency
converter, motor, driven machine, and motor to the driven
machine is required. Although failure due to bearing
currents is low and dependent on many different items, for
security of operation the following are mitigation strategies
which can be implemented.
Standard Mitigation Strategies:
1. Use an insulated bearing
2. Apply rigorous installation procedures
Ensure the motor and load motor are aligned
Strictly follow the EMC Installation guideline
Reinforce the PE so the high frequency
impedance is lower in the PE than the input
power leads
Provide a good high frequency connection
between the motor and the frequency converter
for instance by screened cable which has a 360°
connection in the motor and the frequency
converter
Make sure that the impedance from frequency
converter to building ground is lower that the
grounding impedance of the machine. This can
be difficult for pumps- Make a direct earth
connection between the motor and load motor.
3. Apply conductive lubrication
4. Try to ensure that the line voltage is balanced to
ground. This can be difficult for IT, TT, TN-CS or
Grounded leg systems
5. Use an insulated bearing as recommended by the
motor manufacturer

NOTE
Motors from reputable manufacturers will typically have
these fitted as standard in motors of this size
If found to be necessary and after consultation with
Danfoss:
6. Lower the IGBT switching frequency
7.
Modify the inverter waveform, 60° AVM vs.

8. Install a shaft grounding system or use an
isolating coupling between motor and load
9. Use minimum speed settings if possible
10. Use a dU/dt or sinus filter

4.6.20 Control Cable Routing

Tie down all control wires to the designated control cable
routing as shown in the picture. Remember to connect the
shields in a proper way to ensure optimum electrical
immunity.
Fieldbus connection
Connections are made to the relevant options on the
control card. For details, see the relevant fieldbus
instruction. The cable must be placed in the provided path
inside the frequency converter and tied down together
with other control wires (see Illustration 4.39 and
Illustration 4.40).
