Adjustment instructions for IDXR software protection functions

Introduction
This instruction describes and instructs adjustment of the parameters
that form a hidden parameter group 32 in the ACS800-304/704+V992
diode supply unit. These adjustment parameters in group 32 named
“Protections” are available from software version IDXR7330. This
manual is intended mainly for adjusting protections from +V992 DSU
point of view. However the information here can be also used to adjust
LC DSU protections.

General
These parameters form a hidden group number 32. It can be accessed
by entering pass code “32” in to parameter 16.03. This is a hidden
group because usually there is no need to change these parameters
and it is good to understand what effects each parameter has (read this
document) before modifying anything just with trial and error method.
WARNING: Fault functions should not be disabled unless it has been
analysed and concluded that the problem is caused by installation and
not by any damaged component or wrong installation.

Current Unbalance
In some installations there can be some unbalance between supply
phase currents which is not caused by any real fault in the installation.
Known issues are situations where cabling for all 6 phases for a +V992
DSU module has been made with single core cables. In these cases
also physical lay-out and length of the cables have significant role as
the capacitance between cables are affected by these. Different
capacitances cause difference to impedances between phases which
leads to difference also in the currents between phases.
Other scenario is that there is more then one diode supply unit supplied
by one 12-pulse transformer so that there are more then one
intermediate DC circuits supplied by same transformer.

Current Ripple
Current ripple protection is calculating front edges from current
waveform and can detect for example one damaged fuse or missing
phase. If for example there is power factor compensation (kVAR)
capacitors in the supply unit these can cause such distortions to
waveforms that current ripple calculation gets also distorted.

APBU logger
APBU logger, when available (n*D4 supply units) is a powerful tool to
record IDC1 and IDC2 currents of each individual module and compare
values and make calculations to trace the root cause of the fault. For
example in case of “current unbalance” APBU “last logger” is triggered
by the fault and recording from the event is stored in to the logger.
Powerful way of fault tracing is to download the data from logger and
send it to technical support to be analyzed, or analyze the data with
own pc. Instructions for use of APBU logger can be found from IHMM
lotus notes database.
