/in , , /by

acs550We’re pleased to announce the addition of ACS550 Series Variable Frequency Drives to our online sales product line. The ACS550 Drives is a long time player from the line of ABB variable frequency drives and go up to 550 horsepower. This drive is a great fit for users who are used to the ABB brand of variable frequency drives and are looking for a cost-effective solution for running their motor application.

The ABB ACS550 Series drive finds it’s place as a mid-level applications drive. Typically it is used for open loop applications rather than closed loop. There is an optional encoder card though for users who find themselves in need of a closed loop setup of their motor and drive.

As with the majority of variable frequency drives out there, such as the SMVector, the ACS550 also comes with threeoperating modes. These operating modes include standard V / Hz control, variable torque controlandopen loop vector control. An integrated line filter (or EMC filter) comes standard onany model in an R2 frame or smaller. All boards are coated for harsh environments and each ACS550 includes a swinging choke for superior harmonic reduction.

If you find yourself wanting to know more information on the ACS550 drive simply swing by anyACS550 product page to learn more, you can also grab the manuals while you’re there to get an idea of how to setup your drive. One of the unique features of all ABB drives is the macro system for setting up applications, such as pumps or fans. Each drive comes with preset macros that make the configuration and startup the drive simple.

One confusing aspect of ABB drives is that they tend to come in two separate ratings. There is a “standard rating” and a “heavy duty rating” – heavy duty ratings are typically reserved for applications that are variable torque and may endure extreme loads for up to 10 minutes. To be exact, the ACS550 heavy duty ratings allow for 150% short term overload ratings from 1 to 10 minutes. Since we aren’t always able to know the application our customers are implementing these drives into all ratings at our site are specified at heavy duty.

The ACS800 variable frequency drive is a newer product for those looking for a possible replacement or upgrade of their ACS550 drive. The ACS800 is defined by us as an applications drive. This drive has just about every feature a modern variable frequency drive can have. This includes the integration of a full range of applications and extensive quantity of accessories to make it compatible with almost any industrial system. For the longest time the ACS800 has been ABBs go to drive.

Eaton Cold Weather Parameter

/in , /by

Eaton adjustable frequency drive products implemented an Eaton cold weather parameter functionality. The Eaton cold weather parameter function will provide the ability of the drive to function down below the initial rated temperature with a safe cost effective way to perform warming of both the motor and the drive cabinet.TheEatonDG1 adjustable frequency drive has a parameter group that supplys a selectable AC voltage to the motor at a very low frequency for a desired period of time and also lowers the temperature fault level.

This design uses the current draw through the IGBT modules to warm up the unit temperature by sending a 0.5Hz output frequency to the motor. The drives standard low temperature fault point is -10C which in most applications this is sufficient. In extreme temperature regions that often reach below this point, this can cause a fault, preventing operation of the drive. With the cold weather functionality enabled, the trip point is taken from a -10C fault level and moves it down to -30C with an alarm trip point at -20C. Therefore, the adjustable frequency drive will start the motor in a normal operational mode when the unit temperature is above the -20C level. If the drives unit temp is between -20C and -30C and the drive is stopped, when the run command is given the drive will go into the cold weather warm up feature to enable the motor to start when it reaches -20C.

Eaton Cold Weather Parameter Setup

There are four Eaton cold weather parameter options that are used to perform the cold weather protection functionality with the primary one being the under temperature fault condition setting. These parameters provide a safe way to warm up the drive instead of enabling full voltage output in cold environments. Each of these settings is described in detail below:

P9.23: Unit Under Temp Protection This parameter is used to define the function of the unit under temperature which is the highest drive heat sink temperature taken from the IGBT gate and a thermal temperature sensor in the power board. This parameter comes defaulted as a Fault but can be changed to No Action, a Warning, or Fault and Coast to a stop. To use the cold weather warm up feature, this parameter should be left on either one of the Fault actions. The No Action and Warning will allow the drive to start and run up to the set reference when the start command is given. This could potentially damage the capacitors and IGBT module.

P9.39: Cold Weather Mode This parameter is used to enable the cold weather warm up fea- ture when the Unit Under Temp Protection is set to one of the fault conditions. With this enabled, it causes the unit temperature trip to be adjusted from -10C to -30C. In addition, it activates a warm up sequence when the unit temperature is between -30C and -20C. When a run com- mand is given, the output frequency will be set to 0.5 Hz and run for a selectable voltage percent- age and time. It will also indicate the drive is in the mode with an Alarm 90 Cold Weather Warm in this operational state. Once temperature goes above -20C, the drive will ramp up to the set ref- erence value. If the temperature does not rise above -20C in the specified time, the drive will go into a Fault F13 Under Temp Fault which can be reset and the sequence could be repeated.

p9.40: Cold Weather Voltage Level This parameter is used to select the percentage of volt- age output the drive will provided at 0.5Hz when in the cold weather warm up mode. This value can be set from 0 to 20% of the motor rated voltage setting in the drive. This value should be set based off the ambient temperature and how quickly the user would like the drive to warm up. A higher voltage will cause more current to flow through the motor heating it up faster, but this also can cause additional heating which can cause increased winding wear over long periods of time. It is recommended that the voltage level be set to the lowest level that will effectively meet the users application requirements.

P9.41: Cold Weather Time Out This parameter is used to select the time limit for the drive to run at the 5Hz level at the selected voltage. This time can be set from 0 to 10 minutes, the longer the time the more likely the drive will warm itself up to a starting condition. However, as the time is increased, the motor life may be reduced due to significant heating of the motor windings over long periods of time. It is recommended that the voltage level be set to the lowest level that will effectively meet the users application requirements.

Drive System Integration

/in , /by

Drive system integration is becoming more complex and demanding with technology.Manufacturing in the future will be much more resourceful than todays factories. Manufacturers must reach increasingly higherrates of productivity and efficiency at the lowestpossible cost. At the sametime, the next stage of industrial manufacturing is just around the corner: Industry4.0; an initiative known as the Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalitioncharacterized by smart factories and self organizing communities of machinery, driven by information that’s virtually generated.

Drive technology alone can’t overcomeall the new challenges needed in today’s manufacturing processes. What is needed is consistent integration of drive technology into the factory environment of the manufacturingprocess.This changewill turndrive system integration into success factors that will lead the way to the future of production. Drive system integrationhelps improve the productivity, efficiency,and competitiveness of industrial manufacturingand reduces labor hours which increases marketing andproduction time.Drive system integration engineers are experts in providing engineering studies to increase machine speed forincreased production and/or to improve machine tension control for improvement ofproduct quality while decreasing run time needed to manufacture.

VFD Repair

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Most VFD repair can be prevented with routine maintenance. VFD repair cost and lead times can also be reduced with routine maintenance. VFD repair can be expensive and also cost manufacturers production downtime during the VFD repair process. Most manufacturers keep spare VFD units in stock to prevent production downtime whenthe VFD repair isin process.

Connections
Checkingconnections is a step many people miss or do incorrectly during the VFD repair process. Heat cycles and mechanical vibration can lead to sub-standard connections, as can standard preventative maintenancepractices. Reusing torque screws is not a good Idea, and further tightening an already tight connection can ruin the connection.Bad connections eventually lead to arcing. Arcing at the VFD input could result in nuisance over voltage faults, clearing of input fuses, or damage to protective components. Arcing at the VFD output could result in over-current faults or even damage to the power components.

Loose connections can cause erratic operation. For example, a loose START/STOP signal wire can cause uncontrollable VFD starting and stopping. A loose speed reference wire can cause the drive speed to fluctuate, resulting in scrap, machine damage, or personnel injury.

Conduct Diode and IGBT Tests
There are a number of methods to test the input and output power sections of aVFD, and this step is essential prior to applying power to the VFD unit. If for any reason there is a short on the input side or output side of the VFD, further damage can be caused to the unit if power is applied to it.

For this reason, Precision Electric uses meters to properly test the input and output power sections of the VFD prior to applying power to the actual unit. If a short is found, the unit can be disassembled and the cause of the short can be diagnosed and quoted for repair. If the repair is too costly, then a replacement is offeredto the customer.

Power Up Unit
If the input and output power sections test healthy during this step of the VFD repair process, Precision Electric will power the unit and perform amp reading and output frequency tests. Precision Electric prefers to slowly increase power voltage to the unit until the rated input voltage of the VFD is achieved.

Depending on whether or not the VFD provides a display will determine what further action(s) will be taken. If display is unavailable, dis-assembly and diagnosis of the internal power supply of the control section of the VFD is likely necessary to further evaluate cause of failure and establish costand lead time for the VFD repair.

Run A Motor
If the previous three tests have passed during the VFD repair process, then it is time to run a basic jog function of the VFD with a simple template program. Often when a VFD comes into our facility, we make sure to backup whatever program is currently stored in the VFD prior to inputting a template program and running a test procedure. This ensure we have a backup copy of the program.

The best method for backing up depends on the brand of drive, but after it has been backed up, we either reset the VFD to factory defaults through the keypad and recommission a basic start, stop and job application or closed loop if an encoder is involved. If the motor will not run, it will be necessary to checkthe output voltages and current ratings going to the motor to see if the VFD is functioning properly to rotate the motor.

Contact Customer
At this point we have determined the cause of failure, estimated lead time and costof the VFD repair. If the VFD has tested good entirely, then further underlying issues are communicated with the customer. This is when Precision Electricwill gather application specific information from the customer to establish whether or not it may be some outside issue associated with the system including, but not limited to, PLC communications, faulty IO, bad wiring or even bad cabling. There is no single way to do this step, as it really depends on a wide variety of variables.

Send Service Tech
If the customer cannot establish failure on any other aspect of the machine and the VFD appears to test fine, then it may be necessary to send a field service technician on site to establish cause of failure. Field service technicians should betrained to troubleshoot any issue ranging from standard VFD repair, to advanced robotics, PLCs and more. Field technicians should also be trained to establish cause of failure and come up with solutions as quick as possible.

VFD repair should be taken with extreme caution. VFD repair should only be performed by technicians who have required training and experience to work with electrical equipment. Precision Electric strongly recommends to consult an expert in the field when repairing VFD equipment.Many VFD controllers have an internal DC bus that retains a charge after power has been cut to the drive, as a result, it does not mean it’s safe to work with. Technicians working with VFD repair must always take extra precautions to ensure proper safety measures are taken, or injury or even death may occur.

Eaton SVX9000 Over Temp

/in /by

The trip level for Eaton SVX9000 over temp default is 90Conthe IGBTs and B5C for the power board. Depending on the drive size there may be up to B different temps that can be read from the HMI. FRB and below drive only have one sensor for the IGBTs and one for the power board. The power board is not read out on the HMI. Onlarger Eaton SVX9000 drives you there’sa sensor for every IGBT, although only the highest from each phase is displayed on the HMI. It will also display the power board’s temperature. The temperature displayed in the monitor menu is the highest reading of the IGBTs. To see the individual reading, go to the multi monitor which is normally located in the system menu.

When there is an Eaton SVX9000 over temp trip, the first thingto determine is whether it’s an Eaton SVX9000 over temp power module trip or a power board trip. In the fault history the fault will list a module and sub-module. The sub module is the one that will say either module or board and this tells you where the fault is coming from. If it says module this is from the IGBTs and if it says board it is from the power board.

If the Eaton SVX9000 over temp trip is from the module the first thing that you need to check is to see whether the cooling fans work. If the fans work the next thing to check is whether you have air flow through the drive. If air flow isn’t present, you may need to send your Eaton drive to Precision Electric for repair services. If you have air flow check the temp of the air flow to see if there is really hot air coming out of the drive or if it’s cool air. If you have cool air flowing through the drive and it is still tripping out more than likely the temperature monitoring circuit is bad. This type of failure normally requires repair service. Another thing to look for is the ambient temp of the environment that the drive is located in. The drive is meant to be in a location that does not exceed 40C and is no more than 1000 M above sea level. If either of these 2 conditions are exceeded, the drive may needto be de-rated.

If the trip is from the power board it can be caused by a couple of things. If the ambient temp around the boards is too high you can get this trip. More likely this trip will occur on FR10 and above drives. This trip is coming from the ASICs board and normally tells you the fan that cools the ASIC board is not working. Something to note with this trip is that the drive will try to prevent this trip by changing its switching frequency. The drive will start to do this 1C before the warning level and will reduce its switching freq faster the closer it gets to the trip level. The drive will lower its switching frequency down to 2kHz.

Power board failure is a common problemfrom Eaton SVX9000 over temp tripping. For Eaton SVX9000 over temp repair and replacement inquiries, contactPrecision Electric. To learn more about Eaton SVX9000 adjustable speed drives, visit the Eaton Website.

ABB Energy Saving Solutions

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Nearly 70 percent of all industrial electrical energy use goes to powering electric motors. These motors are the workhorses of business, from pumps moving fluids to fans moving air to compressors, conveyors, and every type of machine that depends on rotational force to get its job done. More than 90 percent of industrial motors either cannot adjust their power consumption or use very crude methods to do so. Many always run at full speed, regardless of the actual output needed. In many applications, energy use can be cut to one- eighth just by reducing the motor speed by half.The most immediate, cost-effective and practical way to address the energy challenge is to grasp the opportunities for energy reduction that come from using energy more efficiently with available and proven technology. ABB energy saving solutions includes a variety of products and services. ABBs drives, motors and other technologies can help lower energy use by reducing power consumption and losses, improving productivity or through better management of equipment.

ABB energy saving solutions face today’s industry and commerce energy challenges. Pressures to reduce energy consumption, lower carbon dioxide emissions and provide secure power supplies are coming from governments, consumers, legislators and shareholders. All of these pressures are against a background of ever-rising energy prices and the dramatic effects climate change is having on the environment. As a result, industry and their consumers are demanding ever more energy-efficient products. ABB energy saving solutions consist of low voltage AC drives (variable frequency drives) and DC drives. AC and DC Drives are designed to run electric motors based on the processes current demands rather than running them at full speed and reducing output using mechanical controls like throttles, dampers or gears.

Drives reduce the output of an application, such as a pump or a fan, by controlling the speed of the motor, ensuring it runs no faster than it needs. Many motors are oversized to cope with a maximum demand that rarely or never occurs. The drive brings the motor speed down to match the actual demand needed by the application. This often cuts energy consumption by 50 percent and in extreme cases by as much as 90 percent.

When other control methods are used, such as dampers, vanes or valves, the motor runs at full speed and the flow of the output is mechanically restricted. For instance, the flow through a pipeline may be reduced by a valve. This is wasteful, because the motor keeps running at its nominal speed regardless of the demand. The pump delivers maximum output and the excess is reduced at the valve, where the surplus energy is wasted through friction.

The energy saving potential in industries and utilities is enormous just in motor-driven applications alone: hundreds of millions of electric motors driving machines, compressors, fans, pumps or conveyors in virtually every sector account for about 70 percent of all the electricity that industry uses. In addition to the energy savings, the drive delivers accurate control and less mechanical wear, reducing maintenance and extending the life expectancy of the system. ABBs product range, from 0.18 kW to 72 MW, is the widest available from any manufacturer, offering drives for every need. ABB energy saving solutions are easy to control and quantify. Many of ABBs drives have built-in energy calculators to monitor energy consumption and savings in kilowatt hours, local currencies and carbon dioxide reductions. The drives built-in energy calculators show actual results that can be used as a basis for future energy saving projects.

Variable Frequency Drive Repair

/in , /by

Variable frequency drive repair is an asset to industrial manufacturing because drive replacement isexpensive and prolongedlead times for OEM drive repair is a common problem.

Technology has evolvedvariable frequency drive manufacturers to consistently release new and better drive products for industrial manufacturing. This constant new technology puts the drive manufacturer at an advantage, and the variable frequency drive user at the mercy of purchasing new equipment in place of obsolete and discontinued drive products. Variable frequency drive repair service centers are the backbone of minimizing downtime while maximizing productivity for manufacturers.

Variable frequency drive repair service centers are often the quickest and least expensive means of getting a manufacturer back into production due to variable frequency drive failure. Since minimal downtime is critical for manufacturers, variable frequency drive repair centers offer expeditedvariable frequency drive repair solutions. Drive repair service centers can often repair failed equipment and get the repaired drive equipment installed and back into production in less time than the drivemanufacturer will offer a replacement or repair quote.

Manufacturers should keep spare variable frequency drives for production lines that must continuously operate to meet customer demands. When crucial equipment fails, manufacturers emphasize the importance of installing spare equipment to get production back up; which is then followed by promptly sending out the failed drive for repair. This process will ensure that whenever a piece of equipment fails during production, there is always a rebuilt spare piece of equipment that can be quickly installed to replace failed equipment, to meet production demands.

The objective of Precision Electric variable frequency drive repair is to provide manufacturing facilities with prompt repair services so that manufacturers can meet their customer’s demands. Precision Electric variable frequency drive repair consists of removing all variable frequency drive parts, cleaning parts and all other components, replacement of damaged components, final testing of all electrical components, assembly, final test of drive with electric motor, and safely package and ship drive back to the customer.
