Motor Compatibility
Benefits of Standard Motor Compatibility

Why Limit the Options?
Procuring a new motor can increase the project implementation cost.

The number of existing motors exceeds the number of new motors built each year by 30 to 50 times (average 40). Existing or new motors could be: Induction (asynchronous) Synchronous Wound Rotor Permanent Magnet Synchronous Super Conducting
21.06.2007
31 31
Motor Insulation Is A Concern

Retrofits?
Existing motors do not have special insulation systems.

Existing cables that run to motors are not designed for voltage spikes associated with non-sinusoidal power loads. Long cable runs can result in voltage doubling.
Harmonics from non-sinusoidal loads can increase:

Motor heating Mechanical System Torsional Resonance Excessive noise Bearing wear (Due to increased circulating currents)
Not a Problem With ROBICON Perfect Harmony

21.06.2007
32 32
Harmony Motor Compatibility Claims

No common mode motor insulation stress
Drive is compatible with both new and existing motors
No motor embedded RTD insulation failures
Overall induced torque ripple 1% or less on driven load for any given frequency No additional VFD induced motor heating
Drive can be safely applied to 1.0 service factor motors

Harmonic Voltage Factor < 0.02, well below MG1 limit = 0.03 Drive creates no motor voltage insulation stress
No dV/dT problems
No Problem with Harmonys Output Power Quality

Effective Modulation Frequency

Output Voltage Modulation Frequency
A higher effective modulation frequency means a lower motor current distortion.

The effective modulation frequency for the Harmony family of products (based on a cell switching frequency of 600 Hz) becomes: 3 Cell System 3,600 Hz 4 Cell System 4,800 Hz 5 Cell System 6,000 Hz 6 Cell System 7,200 Hz
With the Harmony Concept the modulation frequency is maintained throughout the motor speed/frequency range.

Consideration of Harmonic Voltage Factor

Harmonic Voltage Factor

US NEMA Standard MG 1-30 defines requirements for motor derating based resulting from harmonic injection from a VFD. The Harmonic Voltage Factor (HVF) is calculated based on the motor voltage waveform harmonics, reflecting the combined heating effect on the motor stator windings which caused the current harmonics to be induced by a distorted voltage waveform. The standard states that if the calculated HVF is greater than 0.03, a motor must be thermally de-rated.
HVF for Harmony VFD outputs are:

For a 3 Series Cell Solution < 0.020 For a 4 Series Cell Solution < 0.010 For a 5 Series Cell Solution < 0.007 For a 6 Series Cell Solution < 0.005
and Hence No Motor De-rating is Needed

Extended Cable Length Applications

Output Filters for Long Cables?
ROBICON Perfect Harmony VFD systems have been applied for solutions where the cable length between the VFD output and motor connection have exceeded 35 kilometers (22 miles). In general, no motor filters are required. When cable lengths exceed 2 kilometers (6,500 feet), a calculation of the output system should be completed to insure that a filter is not required.

Input MV Availability
Input VFD Voltage Within +/- 10% of Rated Value: 100% VFD continuous output power available. Input VFD Voltage Falls Within 90% to 65% of Rated Value: VFD output power is rolled-back linearly from 100% power @ 90% input voltage down to 50% power @ 65% input voltage. During roll-back, the highest available voltage will be sourced to the motor. The output power is reduced by limiting the available motor torque. The VFD can operate continuously in this mode. Input VFD Voltage Falls Below 65% or Disappears All Together: The VFD will ride-through without tripping for at least five cycles. During ride-through the motor voltage is maintained but no torque is produced until input VFD voltage is re-established. If input voltage is not re-established before the energy stored in the power cells is depleted, the VFD will trip.

VFD Sizing
Understanding and Applying V-Available

V-Available is the maximum voltage the VFD can produce. It is based on the cell rated voltage and number of working cells. V-Required is the motor rated voltage or the process required voltage.
Note: A process may operate at a speed less than the motor 50 or 60 Hz rated speed.
V-Available margin is important when:

Considering the implications of long cable runs Dealing with applications that required closed transition synchronous transfer The process rating needs to be stable during a line voltage excursion Special requirements are placed on power electronics redundancy
Example Power Generation Applications are commonly sized for N+2 cell redundancy at rated motor voltage
VFD Sizing
Sizing for Input Voltage and Frequency
As an Isolation Transformer is always included the input voltage can be set independently from the VFD System output voltage.
Input voltages to 13.8 kV and input frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz are supported in standard designs. Input voltages above 13.8 kV should be referred to the factory for proper sizing. For WCIII and HV solutions, primary voltages above 20 kV require the application of an Air-cooled primary winding. Transformer cubicle sizing may be impacted by the primary voltage rating. Refer to the sizing tables.

PDC Solutions
A Power Distribution Center (PDC) is commonly supplied as part of a VFD System Solution.
The term PDC is used, as opposed to control house, for tax and depreciation reasons.
For VFD solutions to 10,000 HP (7.5 MW) is common to locate up to two VFDs in a single PDC.
VFD cooling is commonly handled on PDC solutions as follows: GEN IV - Wall Mounted HVAC GEN IIIe Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers WCIII Liquid-to-Air or Water-to-Water Heat Exchangers HV Water-to-Water Heat Exchangers
Note: As more than 96% of all heat is transferred to the heat exchanger. GEN IIIe, WCIII and HV PDCs have very low supplementary HVAC requirements.
