Safety instructions
What this chapter contains

This chapter contains safety instructions which you must follow when installing,
operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or
damage may occur to the drive, the motor, or driven equipment. Read the safety
instructions before you work on the unit.
Use of warnings and notes

There are four types of safety instructions used in this manual:
Electricity warning warns of high voltage which can cause physical

injury and/or damage to the equipment.
General warning warns about conditions, other than those caused by

electricity, which can result in physical injury and/or damage to the
equipment.
Electrostatic discharge warning warns of electrostatic discharge which
can damage the equipment.
Hot surface warning warns of component surfaces that may become

hot enough to cause burns if touched.
Safety instructions

Installation and maintenance work

These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive, motor cable or motor.
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or
damage to the equipment.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain the drive.
• Never work on the drive, the motor cable or the motor when input power is
applied. After disconnecting the input power, always wait for 5 minutes to let the
intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the drive,
the motor or the motor cable.
Always ensure by measuring with a multimeter (impedance at least 1 Mohm)
that:
1. There is no voltage between the drive input phases U1, V1 and W1 and the
ground.
2. There is no voltage between terminals UDC+ and UDC– and the ground.
3. There is no voltage between terminals R+ and R– and the ground.
• Drives controlling a permanent magnet motor: A rotating permanent magnet

motor feeds power to the drive causing the drive to become live even when it is
stopped and the supply power switched off. Before maintenance work on the
drive,
– disconnect the motor from the drive by using a safety switch
– prevent the start-up of any other motors in the same mechanical system
– lock the motor shaft
– measure that the motor is in fact de-energised, then connect the U2, V2 and
W2 terminals of the drive to each other and to the PE.
• Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the
external control circuits. Externally supplied control circuits may carry
dangerous voltages even when the input power of the drive is switched off.
• Do not make any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive.
• If a drive whose varistors or internal EMC filters are not disconnected is

installed on an IT power system (an ungrounded power system or a high
resistance grounded [over 30 ohms] power system), the drive will be connected
to earth potential through the varistors/filters. This may cause danger or
damage the drive.
• If a drive whose varistors or internal EMC filter are not disconnected is installed
on a corner-grounded TN system, the drive will be damaged.
Notes:
• Even when the motor is stopped, dangerous voltages are present at the power
circuit terminals U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2, and UDC+, UDC–, R+, R–.

• Depending on the external wiring, dangerous voltages (115 V, 220 V or 230 V)

may be present on the terminals of the relay outputs of the drive.
• The drive supports the Safe torque off function. See page 42.
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or
damage to the equipment.
• The drive is not field repairable. Never attempt to repair a malfunctioning drive;
contact your local ABB representative or Authorized Service Center for
replacement.
• Make sure that dust from drilling does not enter the drive during the installation.
Electrically conductive dust inside the drive may cause damage or lead to
malfunction.
• Ensure sufficient cooling.
WARNING! The printed circuit boards contain components sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. Wear a grounding wrist band when handling the boards. Do not touch
the boards unnecessarily.
Safety instructions

Start-up and operation

These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation of the drive, start up or
operate the drive.
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death,
or damage to the equipment.
• Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure that the motor
and all driven equipment are suitable for operation throughout the speed range
provided by the drive. The drive can be adjusted to operate the motor at
speeds above and below the speed provided by connecting the motor directly
to the power line.
• Do not activate automatic fault reset functions if dangerous situations can

occur. When activated, these functions will reset the drive and resume
operation after a fault.
• Do not control the motor with an AC contactor or disconnecting device

(disconnecting means); instead, use the control panel or external commands
via the I/O board of the drive or a fieldbus adapter. The maximum allowed
number of charging cycles of the DC capacitors (i.e. power-ups by applying
power) is one per two minutes. The maximum total number of chargings is
100000 for frame sizes A and B, 50000 for frame sizes C and D.
• Drives controlling a permanent magnet motor: Do not run the motor over the
rated speed. Motor overspeed leads to overvoltage which may permanently
damage the drive.
Notes:
• If an external source for start command is selected and it is ON, the drive will
start immediately after an input voltage break or a fault reset unless the drive is
configured for 3-wire (pulse) start/stop.
• When the control location is not set to local, the stop key on the control panel
will not stop the drive.
WARNING! The surfaces of drive system components (such as the mains choke
and braking resistor, if present) become hot when the system is in use.

Component Description
Braking chopper Conducts the energy generated by a decelerating motor from the DC bus to a
braking resistor. The braking chopper is built in the ACS850-04; braking
resistors are external options.
Braking resistor Dissipates the regenerative energy by converting it to heat.
Capacitor bank Energy storage which stabilizes the intermediate circuit DC voltage.
du/dt filter See page 105.
Inverter Converts the DC voltage to AC voltage and vice versa. The motor is controlled
by switching the IGBTs of the inverter.
Mains choke See page 97.
EMC filter See page 99.
Rectifier Converts the three-phase AC voltage to DC voltage.
Motor control
The motor control is based on direct torque control. Two phase currents and DC link
voltage are measured and used for the control. The third phase current is measured
for earth fault protection.
Product overview
The ACS850-04 is an air-cooled IP20 drive module for controlling AC motors. It is to
be installed into a cabinet by the customer.
The ACS850-04 is available in several frame sizes depending on output power. All
frame sizes use the same control unit (type JCU).

This chapter guides in planning the installation of a drive module into a user-defined
cabinet. The issues discussed are essential for safe and trouble-free use of the drive
system.
Note: The installation examples in this manual are provided only to help the installer
in designing the installation. Please note that the installation must, however,
always be designed and made according to applicable local laws and
regulations. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation
which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations.
Cabinet construction
The cabinet frame must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive
components, control circuitry and other equipment installed in it.
The cabinet must protect the drive module against contact and meet the
requirements for dust and humidity (see chapter Technical data).
Disposition of the devices

For easy installation and maintenance, a spacious layout is recommended. Sufficient
cooling air flow, obligatory clearances, cables and cable support structures all
require space.
For a layout example, see section Cooling and degrees of protection below.
Grounding of mounting structures

Make sure all cross-members or shelves on which drive system components are
mounted are properly grounded and the connecting surfaces left unpainted.
Note: Ensure that the components are properly grounded through their fastening
points to the installation base.
Note: It is recommended that the EMC filter (if present) and the drive module be
mounted on the same mounting plate.

28
Main dimensions and free space requirements

The modules can be installed side by side. The dimensions of the drive modules as
well as free space requirements are presented below. For more details, refer to
chapter Dimension drawings.
Frame D Frame C Frame B Frame A

29
Note: EMC filters of type JFI-x1 mounted directly above the drive module do not
increase the free space requirements. (For EMC filters of type JFI-0x, see the
dimension drawing of the filters on page 121.)
200 mm [7.9”]
300 mm [12”]
The temperature of the cooling air entering the unit must not exceed the maximum
allowed ambient temperature (see Ambient conditions in chapter Technical data).
Consider this when installing heat-generating components (such as other drives,
mains chokes and braking resistors) nearby.
Cooling and degrees of protection

The cabinet must have enough free space for the components to ensure sufficient
cooling. Observe the minimum clearances given for each component.
The air inlets and outlets must be equipped with gratings that
• guide the air flow
• protect against contact
• prevent water splashes from entering the cabinet.
The drawing below shows two typical cabinet cooling solutions. The air inlet is at the
bottom of the cabinet, while the outlet is at the top, either on the upper part of the
door or on the roof.

30
Air outlet
Air inlet
Arrange the cooling of the modules so that the requirements given in chapter
Technical data are met:
• cooling air flow
Note: The values in Technical data apply to continuous nominal load. If the load is less than
nominal, less cooling air is required.
• allowed ambient temperature.

Make sure the air inlets and outlets are sufficient in size. Please note that in addition
to the power loss of the drive module, the heat dissipated by cables and other
additional equipment must also be ventilated.
The internal cooling fans of the modules are usually sufficient to keep the component
temperatures low enough in IP22 cabinets.
In IP54 cabinets, thick filter mats are used to prevent water splashes from entering
the cabinet. This entails the installation of additional cooling equipment, such as a
hot air exhaust fan.
The installation site must be sufficiently ventilated.

Outside the cabinet

Prevent hot air circulation outside the cabinet by leading the outcoming hot air away
from the area where the inlet air to the cabinet is taken. Possible solutions are listed
below:
• gratings that guide air flow at the air inlet and outlet
• air inlet and outlet at different sides of the cabinet
• cool air inlet in the lower part of the front door and an extra exhaust fan on the
roof of the cabinet.
Inside the cabinet
Prevent hot air circulation inside the cabinet with leak-proof air baffle plates. No
gaskets are usually required.
Cabinet heaters
Use a cabinet heater if there is a risk of condensation in the cabinet. Although the
primary function of the heater is to keep the air dry, it may also be required for
heating at low temperatures. When placing the heater, follow the instructions
provided by its manufacturer.

This chapter contains the instructions that you must follow when selecting the motor,
cables, protections, cable routing and way of operation for the drive. If the
recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience
problems that the warranty does not cover.
Note: The installation must always be designed and made according to applicable
local laws and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any
installation which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations.
Motor selection
Select the (3-phase AC induction) motor according to the rating table in chapter
Technical data. The table lists the typical motor power for each drive type.
Only one permanent magnet synchronous motor can be connected to the inverter
output. It is recommended to install a safety switch between the permanent magnet
motor and the drive output in order to isolate the motor from the drive during
maintenance work on the drive.
Supply connection
Use a fixed connection to the AC power line.
WARNING! As the leakage current of the device typically exceeds 3.5 mA, a fixed
installation is required according to IEC 61800-5-1.
Supply disconnecting device

Install a hand-operated input disconnecting device (disconnecting means) between
the AC power source and the drive. The disconnecting device must be of a type that
can be locked to the open position for installation and maintenance work.
Europe
If the drive is used in an application which must meet the European Union Machinery
Directive according to standard EN 60204-1 Safety of Machinery, the disconnecting
device must be one of the following types:
• a switch-disconnector of utilization category AC-23B (EN 60947-3)
• a disconnector that has an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes switching
devices to break the load circuit before the opening of the main contacts of the
disconnector (EN 60947-3)

40
• a circuit breaker suitable for isolation in accordance with EN 60947-2.
Other regions
The disconnecting means must conform to the applicable safety regulations.
Thermal overload and short circuit protection
Thermal overload protection

The drive protects itself and the input and motor cables against thermal overload
when the cables are dimensioned according to the nominal current of the drive. No
additional thermal protection devices are needed.
WARNING! If the drive is connected to multiple motors, a separate thermal overload

switch or a circuit breaker must be used for protecting each cable and motor. These
devices may require a separate fuse to cut off the short-circuit current.
Protection against short-circuit in motor cable

The drive protects the motor cable and the motor in a short-circuit situation when the
motor cable is dimensioned according to the nominal current of the drive. No
additional protection devices are needed.
Protection against short-circuit in the supply cable or the drive

Protect the supply cable with fuses or circuit breakers. Fuse recommendations are
given in chapter Technical data. When placed at the distribution board, standard IEC
gG fuses or UL type T fuses will protect the input cable in short-circuit situations,
restrict drive damage and prevent damage to adjoining equipment in case of a short
circuit inside the drive.
Operating time of the fuses and circuit breakers
Check that the operating time of the fuse is below 0.5 seconds. The operating
time depends on the type, the supply network impedance, and the cross-sectional
area, material and length of the supply cable. US fuses must be of the “non-time
delay” type.
Circuit breakers
The protective characteristics of circuit breakers depend on the supply voltage as
well as the type and construction of the breakers. There are also limitations
pertaining to the short-circuit capacity of the supply network. Your local ABB
representative can help you in selecting the breaker type when the supply network
characteristics are known.

41
Motor thermal protection

According to regulations, the motor must be protected against thermal overload and
the current must be switched off when overloading is detected. The drive includes a
motor thermal protection function that protects the motor and switches off the current
when necessary. Depending on a drive parameter value, the function either monitors
a calculated temperature value (based on a motor thermal model) or an actual
temperature indication given by motor temperature sensors. The user can tune the
thermal model further by feeding in additional motor and load data.
PTC sensors can be connected directly to the ACS850-04. See page 64 in this
manual, and the appropriate Firmware Manual for the parameter settings concerning
motor thermal protection.
Ground fault protection

The drive is equipped with an internal ground fault protective function to protect the
unit against ground faults in the motor and the motor cable. This is not a personal
safety or a fire protection feature. The ground fault protective function can be
disabled with a parameter, refer to the appropriate Firmware Manual.
The optional EMC filter includes capacitors connected between the main circuit and
the frame. These capacitors and long motor cables increase the ground leakage
current and may cause fault current circuit breakers to function.
Emergency stop devices

For safety reasons, install the emergency stop devices at each operator control
station and at other operating stations where emergency stop may be needed.
Note: Pressing the stop key on the control panel of the drive does not generate an
emergency stop of the motor or separate the drive from dangerous potential.

42
Safe torque off

The drive supports the Safe torque off function (STO) according to standards
EN 61800-5-2:2007; EN ISO 13849-1:2008, IEC 61508, IEC 61511:2004 and
EN 62061:2005. The function also corresponds to prevention of unexpected start-up
of EN 1037.
The Safe torque off function disables the control voltage of the power
semiconductors of the drive output stage, thus preventing the inverter from
generating the voltage required to rotate the motor (see the diagram below). By
using this function, short-time operations (like cleaning) and/or maintenance work on
non-electrical parts of the machinery can be performed without switching off the
power supply to the drive.
Start up and validate the Safe torque off function according to Safe torque off
function for ACSM1, ACS850 and ACQ810 drives application guide (3AFE68929814
[English]). The manual includes the safety data for the function.

Notes:
• The contacts of the activation switch must

• The maximum cable length between the drive
and the activation switch is 25 m (82 ft).
WARNING! The Safe torque off function does not disconnect the voltage of the main
and auxiliary circuits from the drive. Therefore maintenance work on electrical parts
of the drive or the motor can only be carried out after isolating the drive system from
the main supply.

43
Note: It is not recommended to stop the drive by using the Safe torque off function. If
a running drive is stopped by using the function, the drive will trip and stop by
coasting. If this causes danger or is not acceptable, the drive and machinery must be
stopped using the appropriate stopping mode before using the Safe torque off
function.
Note concerning permanent magnet motor drives in case of a multiple IGBT

power semiconductor failure: In spite of the activation of the Safe torque off
function, the drive system can produce an alignment torque which maximally rotates
the motor shaft by 180/p degrees. p denotes the pole pair number.
Selecting the power cables
General rules
Dimension the supply (input power) and motor cables according to local
regulations.
• The cable must be able to carry the drive load current. See chapter Technical
data for the rated currents.
• The cable must be rated for at least 70 °C (US: 75 °C [167 °F]) maximum
permissible temperature of conductor in continuous use.
• The inductance and impedance of the PE conductor/cable (grounding wire) must
be rated according to permissible touch voltage appearing under fault conditions
(so that the fault point voltage will not rise excessively when a ground fault
occurs).
• 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC.
• Refer to chapter Technical data for EMC requirements.
Symmetrical shielded motor cable must be used (see the figure below) to meet the
EMC requirements of the CE and C-tick marks.
A four-conductor system is allowed for input cabling, but shielded symmetrical cable
is recommended. To operate as a protective conductor, the shield conductivity must
be as follows when the protective conductor is made of the same metal as the phase
conductors:
Cross-sectional area of one phase conductor Minimum cross-sectional area of protective
(S) conductor (Sp)
S < 16 mm2 S
2
16 mm < S < 35 mm2 16 mm2
2
35 mm < S S/2
Compared to a four-conductor system, the use of symmetrical shielded cable

reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system as well as motor
bearing currents and wear.

44
The motor cable and its PE pigtail (twisted shield) should be kept as short as
possible in order to reduce electromagnetic emission, as well as stray currents
outside the cable and capacitive current.
Alternative power cable types

Power cable types that can be used with the drive are represented below.
Motor cable
(also recommended for supply cabling)
Symmetrical shielded cable: three phase conductors and Note: A separate PE conductor is required if the
a concentric or otherwise symmetrically constructed PE conductivity of the cable shield is not sufficient for the
conductor, and a shield purpose. See section General rules above.

Motor cable shield

To function as a protective conductor, the shield must have the same cross-sectional
area as a phase conductor when they are made of the same metal.
To effectively suppress radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions, the
shield conductivity must be at least 1/10 of the phase conductor conductivity. The
requirements are easily met with a copper or aluminium shield. The minimum
requirement of the motor cable shield of the drive is shown below. It consists of a
concentric layer of copper wires with an open helix of copper tape. The better and
tighter the shield, the lower the emission level and the bearing currents.

45
Protecting the relay output contacts and attenuating disturbances in case

of inductive loads
Inductive loads (relays, contactors, motors) cause voltage transients when switched
off.
The relay outputs on the drive are protected with varistors (250 V) against
overvoltage peaks. In addition, it is highly recommended to equip inductive loads
with noise attenuating circuits (varistors, RC filters [AC] or diodes [DC]) in order to
minimize the electromagnetic emissions at switch-off. If not suppressed, the
disturbances may connect capacitively or inductively to other conductors in the
control cable and form a risk of malfunction in other parts of the system.
Install the protective component as close to the inductive load as possible, not at the
relay output.

Considering the PELV requirements at sites above 2000 m (6562 ft)

The relay outputs of the drive do not fulfill the Protective Extra Low Voltage (PELV)
requirements at installation sites above 4000 meters (13123 feet) if used with a
voltage greater than 48 V. At installation sites between 2000 meters (6562 feet) and
4000 meters (13123 feet), PELV requirements are not fulfilled if one or two relay
outputs are used with a voltage greater than 48 V and the remaining relay output(s)
are used with a voltage lower than 48 V.

46
Selecting the control cables

It is recommended that all control cables be shielded.
Double-shielded twisted pair cable is recommended for analog signals. For pulse
encoder cabling, follow the instructions given by the encoder manufacturer. Use one
individually-shielded pair for each signal. Do not use a common return for different
analog signals.
Double-shielded cable is the best alternative for low-voltage digital signals but
single-shielded twisted multipair cable (Figure b) is also usable.
a b
Double-shielded twisted Single-shielded twisted
pair cable multipair cable
Run analog and digital signals in separate cables.

Relay-controlled signals, providing their voltage does not exceed 48 V, can be run in
the same cables as digital input signals. It is recommended that the relay-controlled
signals be run as twisted pairs.
Never mix 24 V DC and 115/230 V AC signals in the same cable.
Relay cable
The cable type with braided metallic screen (e.g. ÖLFLEX by Lapp Kabel, Germany)
has been tested and approved by ABB.
Control panel cable

The cable connecting the control panel to the drive must not exceed 3 metres in
length. The cable type tested and approved by ABB is used in control panel option
kits.
Connection of a motor temperature sensor to the drive I/O

See page 64.
Routing the cables

Route the motor cable away from other cable routes. Motor cables of several drives
can be run in parallel installed next to each other. It is recommended that the motor
cable, input power cable and control cables be installed on separate trays. Avoid
long parallel runs of motor cables with other cables in order to decrease
electromagnetic interference caused by the rapid changes in the drive output
voltage.

47
Where control cables must cross power cables make sure they are arranged at an
angle as near to 90 degrees as possible. Do not run extra cables through the drive.
The cable trays must have good electrical bonding to each other and to the
grounding electrodes. Aluminium tray systems can be used to improve local
equalizing of potential.

Checking the insulation of the assembly
Drive
Do not make any voltage tolerance or insulation resistance tests (e.g. hi-pot or
megger) on any part of the drive as testing can damage the drive. Every drive has
been tested for insulation between the main circuit and the chassis at the factory.
Also, there are voltage-limiting circuits inside the drive which cut down the testing
voltage automatically.
Supply cable
Check the insulation of the supply (input) cable according to local regulations before
connecting to the drive.
Motor and motor cable

Check the insulation of the motor and motor cable as follows:
1. Check that the motor cable is connected to the motor, and disconnected from the
drive output terminals U2, V2 and W2.
2. Measure the insulation resistance between each phase conductor and the
Protective Earth conductor using a measuring voltage of 500 V DC. The
insulation resistance of an ABB motor must exceed 100 Mohm (reference value
at 25 °C or 77 °F). For the insulation resistance of other motors, please consult
the manufacturer’s instructions. Note: Moisture inside the motor casing will
reduce the insulation resistance. If moisture is suspected, dry the motor and
repeat the measurement.

• EMC, VAR1 and VAR2 (frames C and D, located on the front of the power
unit).
WARNING! If a drive whose varistors/filters are not disconnected is installed on an

IT system (an ungrounded power system or a high resistance grounded [over 30
ohms] power system), the system will be connected to earth potential through the
varistors/filters of the drive. This may cause danger or damage the drive.
If a drive whose varistors/filters are not disconnected is installed on a corner
grounded TN system, the drive will be damaged.
3. Fasten the two cable clamp plates included to the drive (see page 55), one at
the top, one at the bottom. The clamp plates are identical. Using the cable clamp
plates as shown below will provide better EMC compliance, as well as act as a
strain relief for the power cables.
4. Strip the power cables so that the shields are bare at the cable clamps.
5. Twist the ends of the cable shield wires into pigtails.
6. Strip the ends of the phase conductors.
7. Connect the phase conductors of the supply cable to the U1, V1 and W1
terminals of the drive.
Connect the phase conductors of the motor cable to the U2, V2 and W2
terminals.
Connect the conductors of the resistor cable (if present) to the R+ and R–
terminals.
With frame size C or D, attach the screw terminal lugs included to the
conductors first. Crimp lugs can be used instead of the screw lugs.
8. Tighten the cable clamps onto the bare cable shields.
9. Crimp a cable lug onto each shield pigtail. Fasten the lugs to ground terminals.
Note: Try to work out a compromise between the length of the pigtail and the
length of unshielded phase conductors as both should ideally be as short as
possible.
10. Cover visible bare shield and pigtail with insulating tape.

54
11. With frame size C or D, cut suitable slots on the edges of the connector covers
to accommodate the supply and motor cables. Refit the covers. (Tighten the
screws to 3 N·m [25 lbf·in]).
12. Secure the cables outside the unit mechanically.
13. Ground the other end of the supply cable shield or PE conductor(s) at the
distribution board. In case a mains choke and/or an EMC filter is installed, make
sure the PE conductor is continuous from the distribution board to the drive.
Grounding the motor cable shield at the motor end
For minimum radio frequency interference, ground the cable shield 360 degrees at
the lead-through of the motor terminal box
360 degrees grounding

DC connection
The UDC+ and UDC– terminals are intended for common DC configurations of a
number of ACS850 drives, allowing regenerative energy from one drive to be utilised
by the other drives in motoring mode.
One or more drives are connected to the AC supply depending on the power
requirement. In case two or more drives are connected to the AC supply, each AC
connection must be equipped with a mains choke to ensure even current distribution
between the rectifiers. The diagram below shows two configuration examples.

WARNING! As the inputs pictured above are not insulated according to IEC 60664,
the connection of the motor temperature sensor requires double or reinforced
insulation between motor live parts and the sensor. If the assembly does not fulfil the
requirement,
• all I/O terminals must be protected against contact and must not be connected to
other equipment
or

65
• the temperature sensor must be isolated from the I/O terminals.
Drive-to-drive link (XD2D)

The drive-to-drive link is a daisy-chained RS-485 transmission line that allows basic
master/follower communication with one master drive and multiple followers.
Termination activation jumper T (see section Jumpers above) next to this terminal
block must be set to the ON position on the drives at the ends of the drive-to-drive
link. On intermediate drives, the jumper must be set to the OFF position.
Shielded twisted-pair cable (~100 ohm, e.g. PROFIBUS-compatible cable) must be
used for the wiring. For best immunity, high quality cable is recommended. The cable
should be kept as short as possible; the maximum length of the link is 100 metres
(328 ft). Unnecessary loops and running the cable near power cables (such as motor
cables) must be avoided. The cable shields are to be grounded to the control cable
clamp plate on the drive as shown on page 66.

Safe torque off (XSTO)

For the drive to start, both connections (OUT1 to IN1, and OUT2 to IN2) must be
closed. This is implemented by means of a safety switch and related wiring. See
page 42.
By default, the terminal block has jumpers to close the circuit. Remove the jumpers
before connecting an external Safe torque off circuitry to the drive.
More information is available in Safe torque off function for ACSM1, ACS850 and
ACQ810 drives application guide (3AFE68929814 [English]). For related parameter
settings, see the appropriate Firmware Manual.
Grounding and routing the control cables

The shields of all control cables connected to the JCU Control Unit must be
grounded at the control cable clamp plate. Use four M4 screws to fasten the plate as
shown below left (two of the screws are also used to hold the cover mounting
bracket). The plate can be fitted either at the top or bottom of the drive.
Before connecting the wires, run the cables through the cover mounting bracket as
shown in the drawing below.
The shields should be continuous as close to the terminals of the JCU as possible.
Only remove the outer jacket of the cable at the cable clamp so that the clamp
presses on the bare shield. At the terminal block, use shrink tubing or insulating tape
to contain any stray strands. The shield (especially in case of multiple shields) can
also be terminated with a lug and fastened with a screw at the clamp plate. Leave
the other end of the shield unconnected or ground it indirectly via a few nanofarads
high-frequency capacitor (e.g. 3.3 nF / 630 V). The shield can also be grounded
directly at both ends if they are in the same ground line with no significant voltage
drop between the end points.
Keep any signal wire pairs twisted as close to the terminals as possible. Twisting the
wire with its return wire reduces disturbances caused by inductive coupling.
Re-install the cover assembly according to the instructions on page 49.

72
Heatsink
The heatsink fins pick up dust from the cooling air. The drive runs into
overtemperature warnings and faults if the heatsink is not clean. In a normal
environment, the heatsink should be checked annually, in a dusty environment more
often.
Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary):
1. Remove the cooling fan (see section Cooling fan).
2. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top and simultaneously
use a vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust. Note: If there is a risk of
the dust entering adjoining equipment, perform the cleaning in another room.
3. Refit the cooling fan.
Maintenance

73
Cooling fan
The actual lifespan of the cooling fan depends on the drive usage and ambient
temperature. Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from fan bearings
and the gradual rise in the heatsink temperature in spite of heatsink cleaning. If the
drive is operated in a critical part of a process, fan replacement is recommended
once these symptoms start appearing. Replacement fans are available from ABB.
Do not use other than ABB-specified spare parts.
Fan replacement (Frames A and B)

Detach the power cable clamp plate and terminal blocks. Release the retaining clips
(arrowed) carefully using a screwdriver. Pull the fan holder out. Disconnect the fan
cable. Carefully bend the clips on the fan holder to free the fan.

Other maintenance actions
Transfering the memory unit to a new drive module

When a drive module is replaced, the parameter settings can be retained by
transferring the memory unit from the defective drive module to the new module.
WARNING! Do not remove or insert a memory unit when the drive module is
powered.
After power-up, the drive will scan the memory unit. If a different application program
or different parameter settings are detected, they are copied to the drive. This takes
about 10 to 30 seconds; the drive will not respond while copying is in progress.

Symbols
I1N Nominal input current (rms) at 40 °C (104 °F).

*Without mains choke.
I2N Nominal output current.
IMax Maximum output current. Available for at least 10 seconds at start, otherwise as long as allowed by drive
temperature.
PN Typical motor power for no-overload use.
ILd Continuous rms output current. 10% overload is allowed for 1 minute every 5 minutes.
PLd Typical motor power for light-overload use.
IHd Continuous rms output current. 50% overload is allowed for 1 minute every 5 minutes.
PHd Typical motor power for heavy-duty use.
Note: To achieve the rated motor power given in the table, the rated current of the drive must be higher than or equal to
the rated motor current.
The DriveSize dimensioning tool available from ABB is recommended for selecting the drive, motor and gear
combination.
The maximum allowed motor shaft power is limited to 1.5 · PHd, 1.1 · PN or Pcont.max (whichever value is the greatest).
If the limit is exceeded, motor torque and current are automatically restricted. The function protects the input bridge of
the drive against overload.
Derating
The continuous output currents stated above must be derated if any of the following conditions apply:
• the ambient temperature exceeds +40 °C (+104°F)
• the drive is installed higher than 1000 m above sea level
• the parameter-adjustable motor noise level is set as low.
Note: The final derating factor is a multiplication of all applicable derating factors.
Technical data

Ambient temperature derating

In the temperature range +40…55 °C (+104…131 °F), the rated output current is derated by 1% for
every added 1 °C (1.8 °F) as follows:
Derating factor
1.00
0.85
Ambient temperature
+40 °C +55 °C
+104 °F +131 °F
Altitude derating
At altitudes from 1000 to 4000 m (3300 to 13123 ft) above sea level, the derating is 1% for every 100 m
(328 ft). For a more accurate derating, use the DriveSize PC tool.
Note: If the installation site is higher than 2000 m (6600 ft) above sea level, connection of the drive to
an ungrounded (IT) or corner-grounded delta network is not allowed.
Low motor noise derating

Low motor noise is activated with a drive parameter (see the Firmware Manual). With low motor noise,
drive loadability is reduced and derating must be applied if a certain constant output current is needed.
The derated values are given in the tables below.

Supply cable fuses

Fuses for short circuit protection of the supply cable are listed below. The fuses also
protect the adjoining equipment of the drive in case of a short circuit. Check that the
operating time of the fuse is below 0.5 seconds. The operating time depends on the
supply network impedance and the cross-sectional area and length of the supply
cable. See also chapter Planning the electrical installation.
Note: Fuses with a higher current rating must not be used.

First environment includes domestic premises. It also includes establishments directly connected
without intermediate transformers to a low-voltage network which supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes.
Second environment includes all establishments other than those directly connected to a low-voltage
network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Drive of category C2. Power drive system with rated voltage less than 1000 V which is neither a plug-in
device nor a movable device and, when used in the first environment, is intended to be installed and
commissioned only by a professional.
Drive of category C3. Power drive system with rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the
second environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
Drive of category C4. Power drive system with rated voltage equal to or above 1000 V, or rated current
equal to or above 400 A, or intended for use in complex systems in the second environment.

Mains chokes

This chapter describes how to select and install mains chokes for the ACS850-04.
The chapter also contains the relevant technical data.
When is a mains choke required?

Frame C and D drive modules have an internal mains choke. With frames A and B,
the need for an external choke should be determined on a case-by-case basis. The
main choke typically
• reduces harmonics in the input current
• reduces the r.m.s. input current
• reduces supply disturbance and low-frequency interference
• increases the allowed DC bus continuous power
• ensures even current distribution in common DC configurations (see page 59).

Installation guidelines
• If an EMC filter is also installed, the mains choke is connected between the
supply and the EMC filter. See the diagram below.
• For optimal operation of the choke, the drive and the choke must be mounted on
the same conductive surface.
• Ensure the choke does not block the airflow through the drive module, and that
the air rising from the choke is deflected away from the air inlet of the drive
module
• Keep the cable between the drive and the choke as short as possible.
WARNING! The surface of the mains choke becomes hot when in use.

This chapter describes how to select du/dt and common mode filtering for the
ACS850-04. The chapter also contains the relevant technical data.
When is du/dt or common mode filtering required?

The output of the drive comprises – regardless of output frequency – pulses of
approximately 1.35 times the equivalent supply voltage with a very short rise time.
This is the case with all drives employing modern IGBT inverter technology.
The voltage of the pulses can be almost double at the motor terminals, depending on
the attenuation and reflection properties of the motor cable and the terminals. This in
turn can cause additional stress on the motor and motor cable insulation.
Modern variable speed drives with their fast-rising voltage pulses and high switching
frequencies can generate current pulses that flow through the motor bearings, which
can gradually erode the bearing races and rolling elements.
The stress on motor insulation can be avoided by using optional ABB du/dt filters.
du/dt filters also reduce bearing currents. Common mode filtering mainly reduces
bearing currents.
To avoid damage to the motor bearings, the cables must be selected and installed
according to the instructions given in chapter Electrical installation. In addition, du/dt
filtering, common mode filtering, and insulated N-end bearings must be used
according to the following table.

Resistor braking

This chapter describes how to select, protect and wire braking choppers and
resistors. The chapter also contains the technical data.
Braking choppers and resistors with the ACS850-04
Braking choppers
ACS850-04 (frame A…D) drives have a built-in braking chopper as standard
equipment to handle the energy generated by a decelerating motor.
When the braking chopper is enabled and a resistor connected, the chopper will start
conducting when the DC link voltage of the drive reaches UDC_BR - 30 V. The
maximum braking power is achieved at UDC_BR + 30 V.
UDC = 1.35 × Used AC supply voltage
UDC_BR = 1.25 × UDC
Braking resistor selection

To select a braking resistor:
1. Calculate the maximum power generated by the motor during braking.
2. Calculate the continuous power based on the braking duty cycle.
3. Calculate the braking energy during the duty cycle.
Pre-selected resistors are available from ABB as shown in the table on page 111. If
the listed resistor is not sufficient for the application, a custom resistor can be
selected within the limits imposed by the internal braking chopper of the ACS850-04.
The following rules apply:
• The resistance of the custom resistor must be at least Rmin. The braking power
capacity with different resistance values can be calculated from the following
formula:
2
UDC_BR + 30 V
Pmax <
R
WARNING! Never use a braking resistor with a resistance below the value specified
for the particular drive type. The drive and the chopper are not able to handle the
overcurrent caused by the low resistance.
Resistor braking

110
• The maximum braking power must not exceed Pbrmax at any point
• The average braking power must not exceed Pbrcont
• The braking energy must not exceed the energy dissipation capacity of the
selected resistor
• It is highly recommended that the resistor be protected from thermal overload;
see section Contactor protection of drive on page 112.

The ratings apply at an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F).

position.
Epulse Energy pulse the listed resistor will withstand.
The braking resistors are protected to IP20. Refer to page 123 for dimensions, wire
sizes and tightening torques for the resistors
Resistor installation and wiring

All resistors must be installed outside the drive module in a place where they are
cooled sufficiently, do not block the airflow to other equipment, or dissipate hot air
into the air inlets of other equipment.
WARNING! The materials near the braking resistor must be non-flammable. The
surface temperature of the resistor may rise above 200 °C (400 °F), and the
temperature of the air flowing from the resistor is hundreds of degrees Celsius.
Protect the resistor against contact.
The maximum length of the resistor cable(s) is 20 m (65 ft). For the connections, see
section Power cable connection on page 52.
Resistor braking

112
Contactor protection of drive

It is highly recommended to equip the drive with a main contactor for safety reasons.
Wire the contactor so that it opens in case the resistor overheats. This is essential
for safety since the drive will not otherwise be able to interrupt the main supply if the
chopper remains conductive in a fault situation.
Below is a simple example wiring diagram.

For more information, see the appropriate Firmware Manual.
• Enable the braking chopper function. Please note that a braking resistor must be
connected when the chopper is enabled
• Switch off the overvoltage control of the drive
• Adjust any other relevant parameters in group 48.
WARNING! If the drive is equipped with a braking chopper but the chopper is not
enabled by parameter setting, the braking resistor must be disconnected because
the protection against resistor overheating is then not in use.
