2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
MICROMASTER, MICROMASTER Vector and MIDIMASTER Vector
are a series of drive inverters which are designed to be directly
connected to the line supply. They are self-contained drive units which
include all of the components required for their operation.
Depending on the line supply voltages, outputs and required
functions, this series comprises three versions: MICROMASTER,
MICROMASTER Vector and MIDIMASTER Vector. The
MICROMASTER is the most favorably priced drive unit for basic
applications.
MICROMASTER has three sizes with degree of protection IP20. The
MICROMASTER Vector is, from the mechanical dimensions, identical to
the MICROMASTER, however it has a higher degree of functionality and
the sensorless vector control makes it ideally suited for applications
requiring high dynamic response. It has additional I/O and larger,
intelligent power end stages for additional overload requirements. The
MIDIMASTER Vector has the same functionality as the MICROMASTER
Vector, however it has an extended output range up to 75 kW (90 kW for
variable torque). As standard, it has degree of protection IP21 but is also
available with degree of protection IP56 (NEMA 4).
2.1 Power section
All of the drive inverters have fully integrated power end stages
which are mounted on highly efficient heatsinks. The heatsinks are
cooled using a fan controlled by software. De-rating is not required
for ambient temperatures up to 50 °C (40 °C for MIDIMASTER
Vector). This is due to the heat dissipation.
All of the drive units have an uncontrolled incoming rectifier, a
capacitor-buffered DC link as well as a pulse width modulated
inverter with IGBT transistors.
If a drive unit is connected to the line supply, the DC link is pre-charged
through resistors and a pre-charging relay.
This limits the inrush current. The voltage in the DC link is converted
into a pulsed voltage with a variable frequency amplitude using the
latest generation of low-loss IGBTs in conjunction with optimized
pulse patterns. This offers the following advantages:
· Lower inverter and motor losses
· Motor frequency range: 0 to 650 Hz
· Motor voltage range: 0 V to the line supply voltage
· Almost sinusoidal motor currents
· High motor utilization
· Quiet motor operation using pulse frequencies up to 16 kHz
· The drive inverter is protected against short-circuits and ground
faults
An OFF command is not sufficient to electrically isolate the drive
units from the line supply voltage. A suitable switching element must
be used upstream from the drive inverters in order to ensure safe,
reliable separation from the line supply.
Slow-acting line fuses can also be used for protection.
All of the MICROMASTER and MICROMASTER Vector drive units
(this is not possible for MIDIMASTER) can also be directly
connected to a pure DC supply with suitably dimensioned voltage
using the DC link connections provided.
MICROMASTER (MM12/2 up to MM300/2), designed for operation
with 3-phase 230 V line supplies can also be operated with 1-phase
230 V line supplies. All of the 1- and 3-phase 230 V MICROMASTER
can also be operated on a 2-phase 208 V line supply. (CAUTION: A
1- or 3-phase 230 V drive inverter will be destroyed if it is connected to a
3-phase 400 V line supply.)
2.1.1 Thermal protection and automatic reduction
of the pulse frequency
When the pulse frequency increases, the losses inside the power section
also increase and result in higher heatsink temperatures. When the drive
inverter is operated above the recommended ambient temperature,
generally the drive inverter shuts down (trips) due to an overtemperature
fault. In order to prevent such undesirable trips, MICRO/MIDIMASTER
Vector automatically reduces its pulse frequency (e.g. from 16 kHz to 8
kHz). The heatsink temperature then decreases and operation can be
continued without any interruption. If the load or the ambient temperature
subsequently decreases, the drive inverter first checks whether the pulse
frequency can be safely increased so that it can appropriately respond.
2.1.2 Fast current limiting
The fast current limiting (Fast Current Limit; FCL) is a cyclic
hardware current limiting which is integrated in the drive inverter. Its
threshold value is slightly below the threshold value for a software-
related overcurrent trip (F002). Incorrect or undesirable trips are
avoided thanks to a significantly faster response if suddenly loads
are applied or fast acceleration is demanded.
2.1.3 Operation on non-grounded line supplies
A grounded (TN) line supply is always recommended for
MICROMASTER & MIDIMASTER drive inverters.
The MICROMASTER series can be directly connected to a non-
grounded line supply. If one of the input phases is directly connected
to ground while the inverter is operational, it continues to run without
any consequential damage.
MICROMASTER/MICROMASTER Vector is shutdown with an
overcurrent alarm if one of the motor cables is short-circuited to
ground.
MIDIMASTER Vector can only be operated on IT line supplies if the
pulse frequency is reduced to 2kHz. The MIDIMASTER Vector (with
a 2 kHz pulse frequency) continues to operate if one of the motor
cables is short-circuited to ground. The drive inverter can be tripped
due to an overcurrent when operated at more than 40 Hz or is close
to being operated at full load. If two or more phases are short-
circuited to ground, the drive inverter always trips due to overcurrent.
2.1.4 Using residual-current protective devices
MICROMASTER and MICROMASTER Vector can be operated with
residual-current protective devices under the following conditions:
v 1-phase: A residual-current protective device with 300mA (type
A) is permissible
v 3-phase: A residual-current protective device with 300mA (type
B) must be used
v The neutral conductor of the line supply is grounded.
v Only one drive inverter is operated on one residual-current
protective device.
v The motor cables are no longer than 50m (shielded) or 100m
(non-shielded) (otherwise an output reactor is recommended).
v We do not recommend using residual-current protective devices
for supply voltages of 400-500V and pulse frequencies
exceeding 4 kHz.
