1. Introduction

1. Introduction
1.1

General Description
The ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled (LC) DELTA modular system of transistor and rectifier bridge
modules, with associated components and a MV3000e DELTA Controller, covers the
requirements of the a.c. variable speed drive market at high power levels. The transistor
bridge range covers 691 kW to 3.9 MW (926 h.p. to 5229 h.p.) at 690 V a.c. input voltage and
the rectifier bridge range covers 1.9 MW to 3.5 MW (2546 h.p. to 4693 h.p.) at 690 V a.c.
Throughout the manual MV LCD will be used as a prefix when referring to the MV Liquid
Cooled DELTA Transistor or Rectifier Bridges, modules or associated drive systems. The
term module will be used extensively when referring to the mechanical assembly for the
transistor and rectifier bridges.
The ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA system comprises a set of transistor bridge modules
and a set of rectifier bridge modules which are the basic blocks used to construct an a.c.
variable speed drive. The transistor bridges are used for inversion functions and the rectifier
bridges are used for the conversion of an a.c. supply into a rectified, unsmoothed d.c. supply.
The bridge modules, which are used with a range of associated components, are used as
building blocks in constructing the power circuits of a.c. drives and are only suitable for
installation in a cubicle or other similar enclosure. The rectifier bridges are 12 pulse modules.
The block circuit diagrams, which are included in this section of the manual, are introductions
to the various drive system configurations in which these bridge modules may be used.
The power range (see Section 2 - SPECIFICATION) is covered by the use of a single liquid
cooled DELTA module, or by paralleling up to six liquid cooled DELTA modules.
The transistor and rectifier MV LCD modules are of a standard mechanical design, each being
of a fixed height and mounted in a cubicle; 1.7 outlines the mechanical description of the
modules and their mounting arrangement. All the modules are withdrawable on a simple slide
system for ease of assembly and maintenance. Removal of a module from a cubicle requires
suitable lifting equipment (see Section 5 - MECHANICAL INSTALLATION). Section 6 gives
guidance on the electrical installation of all components required for a basic system. Design
guidance for the module liquid cooling system is included at Section 3 - COOLING SYSTEM
DESIGN.

1.1.1

About this Manual


This manual describes the MV LCD Modules and associated power equipment used for the
MV3000e drives and common d.c. link drives over 691 kW. These components, as standard,
are supplied loose as a kit of parts. This manual describes the components and how they
may be assembled into a cubicle to produce a complete drive.
This T1693 manual includes references to the MV3000e Getting Started Manual (T1676) and
should be used in association with it. An outline of the documentation structure and the
relationship between this manual and the T1676 manual is included in preliminary information.

1.3.1

Introduction
A typical MV3000e DELTA modular system is shown at Figure 1-1. Interconnections between
the MV3000e Controller and system components are shown at Figure 1-2.
The MV3000e Controller is capable of driving up to six MV LCD transistor bridge modules and
two rectifier modules. The controller reads information from each connected module to check
that the system configuration is consistent and to automatically configure itself to the
appropriate current rating.
Various configurations of voltage and current rating are achieved by software control at
initialisation.

1.3.2

Overview of MV LCD Drive System


The MV LCD system, which can be used to either control a motor or generate supplies from
an external source, comprises one or more liquid cooled modules and a MV3000e controller.
Application requirements determine the configuration of the modules, as described in this
section.
Figure 1-3 shows a simple a.c. variable speed drive which uses a MV3000e Controller to
control a power assembly. The power assembly has two major blocks. There is a network
bridge (the Rectifier Module) that converts the a.c. supply to d.c. and a machine bridge (the
Transistor Module) that chops up (inverts) this d.c. into a variable frequency, variable voltage
output. These power blocks are constructed using MV LCD modules.
The network bridge may consist of an uncontrolled rectifier, a thyristor convertor, a
sinusoidally controlled transistor bridge or any source of d.c. that is within the limits defined at
Section 2 - SPECIFICATION. The uncontrolled rectifier network bridge is a 12 pulse bridge.
The machine bridge is a controlled transistor bridge.

12 Pulse Input Rectifier


Harmonic currents produced in the supply system by variable speed drives with uncontrolled
rectifier inputs may be reduced by changing from 6 pulse (3 phase) to 12 pulse (6 phase)
input.
A phase shifting transformer is used to produce the additional 3 phases which are phase
shifted by 30 as shown at Figure 1-4. These two sets of three phase supplies are rectified by
two rectifier bridges. Instantaneous voltage differences, between the outputs of the two
rectifiers, are absorbed by an interbridge transformer connected between the two positive
outputs of the rectifiers. The output to the d.c. link is taken from the centre-tap of the
interbridge transformer.

1. Introduction

MV LCD Modules
There are two types of MV LCD Modules, the Rectifier Bridge Module and the Transistor
Bridge Module. These modules are mounted in one of two types of mounting frame for
assembly into either an Converteam Q80 Cubicle or a Rittal PS4000 Series Cubicle.
A typical cubicle layout for a MV LCD system is shown at Figure 1-1.

1.5.1

Rectifier Bridge Module


1.5.1.1

Introduction

In a MV LCD System, Rectifier Bridge Modules, shown at Figure 1-9, are used as network
bridges only. They convert an a.c. supply into a rectified, unsmoothed d.c. supply.

Figure 1-9

MV LCD Rectifier Bridge Module - MVRL2100

The Rectifier Bridge Module is presently available in one rating. The largest rectifier power
ratings can be achieved by connecting the modules in parallel.
The Rectifier Bridge Module has two three-phase rectifier bridges with two sets of a.c. input
terminals and two sets of d.c. output terminals. Two d.c. positive and a single d.c. negative
output terminals are provided.

Issue (07/00)

T1693EN

Page 1-9

1. Introduction

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

The Rectifier Bridge Module may be operated as a 12-pulse network bridge. This
configuration is achieved by connecting the d.c. positive outputs together through an
interbridge transformer, one a.c. input being phase-shifted in relation to the other by the
external supply transformer.
The rectifier modules fit in a standard MV LCD module mounting system - see 1.7.
1.5.1.2

A Rectifier Bridge Module includes a circuit which is capable of pre-charging the


Transistor Bridge Modules. This circuit charges the d.c. link capacitors of the transistor
bridge via current limiting resistors in the rectifier modules.

Modules fit in the standard MV LCD mounting frames.

Metal oxide varistors are included to absorb surge energy from the mains. Supply
impedance is necessary for this to function correctly. See 1.6 for information on reactors.

Protection against d.c. link short circuits by the use of recommended semiconductor
fuses.

Modules carry thermostat and thermistor protection so when they are connected to the
controller, the module is protected against overtemperature.

1.5.1.3

Variations

The Rectifier Bridge Module is only available in a current rating of 2100 A (d.c. output
current).

Higher current versions are possible by paralleling the modules through reactors. As the
modules will not carry equal current, some derating of the output current is necessary.

The Rectifier Bridge Module is available for a voltage of 575 - 690 V a.c.

1.5.1.4

Interface

Signals between the controller and the rectifier bridge module are by discrete wires,
which are between 'pluggable' terminal blocks.

The MVRL2100 power connections are designed for cable connection to stud terminals.

1.5.1.5

Page 1-10

Features

External Requirements

For parallel operation of these modules, external sharing reactors must be fitted.

For 12 pulse operation the two supplies must be phase shifted by 30 to each other and
of balanced voltage. The output must be through an interbridge transformer.

Protection of the main input rectifier devices is by the addition of external semiconductor
fuses - for recommended fuses see Section 2 - SPECIFICATION.

The a.c. terminals on the modules designed for cable connection are not suitable to
support the weight of any attached cables. These cables/busbars must have additional
mechanical support.

The output from all of the Rectifier Bridge Modules must be through an interbridge
transformer.

1. Introduction

Transistor Bridge Module


In a MV LCD System, Transistor Bridge Modules, as shown at Figure 1-10, can be used in
combinations to provide an output stage where the d.c. produced by the input stage is
converted into a variable frequency and variable voltage three phase output.
A separate Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is required for each Transistor Bridge
Module - see Figure 1-11.
Ratings for the transistor bridge module and the SMPS are detailed in Section 2 SPECIFICATION of this manual.

Figure 1-10
1.5.2.1

MV LCD Transistor Bridge Module - MVDL643

Introduction

In the standard MV3000e applications MV LCD Transistor Bridge Modules are used in
combination to provide:

A machine bridge where the d.c. produced by the network bridge is converted into a
variable voltage variable frequency three phase output.

1.5.2.2

Features

MV LCD Transistor Bridge Modules use the latest insulated-gate bipolar transistors
(IGBT) in Integrated Intelligent Power Packs (IIP) to provide low distortion output.

DC smoothing capacitors that provide filtering for the drive d.c. link in addition to local
energy storage for transistor switching.

Output protection against short circuits.

Modules fit in standard MV LCD rack system.

T1693EN

Page 1-11

1. Introduction

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

Auxiliary d.c. link connection plug for voltage monitoring and connection to Switch Mode
Power Supply (SMPS). The appropriate MV SMPS is mounted on the Transistor Bridge
Module.

Each module carries thermistor protection. When connected to the MV3000e controller
the module is protected against overtemperature.

Each module includes fan monitoring to check the state of the cooling fans which are
used to cool the d.c. link capacitors on the module.

1.5.2.3

The Transistor Bridge Module is only available in a current rating of 643 A at 690 V.

This version is suitable for the Network and machine bridges on MV3000e drives and as
the Network or Machine power bridges in common d.c. link applications.

1.5.2.4

Interface

Signals between the controller and Transistor Bridge Module are by a single 40 way
ribbon cable per module. This cable also carries the supplies for the electronics in the
controller.

Power connections are stud terminals for the a.c. and d.c. connections.

Auxiliary d.c. link connections.

1.5.2.5

Page 1-12

Variations

External Requirements

The Transistor Bridge Module contains smoothing capacitors which when used in both
Network and machine bridge applications must be 'pre-charged'. These modules do not
carry pre-charge circuits. Pre-charge is either via a Rectifier Bridge Module (MVRL21004601) or external circuitry. Refer to Converteam for recommended pre-charge rates.

The d.c. supply to the transistor module must be within appropriate voltage, current and
ripple limits and must be 'pre-charged'.

These liquid cooled modules must be cooled by an externally derived cooling system.

When Transistor Bridge Modules are used as network bridges it is recommended that
semiconductor fuses are fitted on the a.c. supply on a per module basis.

1. Introduction

MV Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS)


The MV SMPS, shown at Figure 1-11, is mounted on a Transistor Bridge Module. It provides
the electronic supplies for the Transistor Bridge Module and the MV3000e Controller. The
SMPS derives a supply from the drive d.c. link; the low voltage electronics are maintained
during a temporary loss of supply.

Reactors, Inductors and Transformers

1.6.1

General Description
A variety of reactors, inductors and transformers will be available for use in conjunction with
the MV LCD power modules. Different functions which these optional and mandatory
components may be used for are now described.
Where a drive is supplied by an individual transformer of approximately the same rating as the
drive then input line reactors are not required. However, account should be taken of the
effective reactance requirements within the specification for the associated supply transformer
for the drive.
It is recommended that input line reactors are fitted in the following circumstances:
(a)

if there is primary switching of a transformer e.g. 13.8 kV circuit breakers, on line primary
tap changing etc. and the transformer is large (i.e. greater than 17 MVA fault level);

(b)

if there is power factor correction equipment on the same supply as the drive;

(c)

if there is a high risk of a short circuit on the secondary of a transformer caused by other
equipment with separate fuse protection;

(d)

where semi-conductor fuses will not protect the input rectifiers without additional line
impedance - see fuse information at Section 2 - SPECIFICATION.

Sharing Reactance
To allow even load sharing between Transistor Bridge Modules which are connected in
parallel it is always necessary to fit additional reactance in the three-phase connection of each
parallel module.
1.6.2.1

Reactors for Network Bridges

For network bridges on MV3000e applications multi-filar input reactors are recommended.
1.6.2.2

Reactors for Machine Bridges

For machine bridges sharing reactance can be obtained by use of separate motor cables of
20 m minimum length.
1.6.3

Interbridge Transformer for 12 Pulse Rectifier Systems


When using the Rectifier Bridge Modules for 12 pulse input functions the mandatory
interbridge transformer replaces the d.c. link inductor. It forces sharing between the two
rectifier bridges (one supply phase-shifted by 30).
The interbridge transformers are large and heavy. They are usually mounted in the base of the
drive enclosure - see Figure 1-12.

Mechanical Description of MV LCD Module Mounting System


Cubicle installation of the MV LCD module is directly onto the MV LCD module mounting
frame. Additional components are mounted within the cubicle. The frame consists of a set of
cross members and cubicle side supports that form a bookshelf for the modules.
The MV LCD module mounting frame consists of a set of three cross members (two at the
lower position - front and rear and one at the upper position) and four cubicle side supports
(two for each side). The lower cross members support the weight of a module. The upper
cross member supports the top of the module. The side supports, which vary depending upon
the depth of cubicle, attach the frame to the cubicle. The spacing between the upper and
lower cross members is fixed by the height of the module. The overall position of the
mounting frame is dependent on cubicle requirements.

Page 1-14

T1693EN

Issue (07/00)

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

1. Introduction

The MV LCD modules are mounted between the upper and lower cross members by simple
guides, two located on the lower guide plate and two on the upper cross member. The
module slides between these guides and is then bolted to the cross members. When
extracting a module it slides as far as the stop screw and then has to be lifted over this screw
before it may be completely removed. The lower guide plate is directly attached to the cross
members.
The installation of additional MV LCD modules is a step, by 250 mm (9.84 in), and repeat of
the assembly up to the width of the cross members.
1.7.1

MV LCD Module Mounting Kit


1.7.1.1

Introduction

The MV LCD module mounting kit is a framework of cross members and brackets, which
when installed in a cubicle, provide the support and fixings for the modules. It is suitable for
installation into standard Converteam Q80 cubicles and Rittal PS4000 series cubicles - refer
to Section 5 - MECHANICAL INSTALLATION for details.
1.7.1.2

Variations

The standard kits are based on 600 mm (23.6 in) and 800 mm (31.5 in) deep cubicles.
For each of these depths of cubicle there are four cross member widths available,
600 mm (23.6 in), 800 mm (31.5 in), 1000 mm (39.4 in) and 1200 mm (47.2 in).

The 600 mm (23.6 in) and 800 mm (31.5 in) wide cross members will support up to two
MV LCD modules. The 800 mm (31.5 in) wide kit is not frequently used, as it will only
hold two modules.

The 1000 mm (39.4 in) wide cross members will support up to three MV LCD modules.

The 1200 mm (47.2 in) wide cross members will support up to four MV LCD modules.

1.7.1.3

Interface and External Requirements

The mounting frame bolts directly into the Converteam Q80 and Rittal PS4000 series
cubicles but requires a different side mounting kit for each type of cubicle.

The mounting frame kits for Q80 and PS4000 series cubicles are available in depths of
600 and 800 mm and widths of 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 mm. For details see 2.12. For
mounting in other types of enclosure see 5.4.

Cooling

1.8.1

Cooling of a MV LCD Module


Each MV LCD module is cooled principally by a liquid coolant which is pumped through it.
Heat generated within a module is carried away by the coolant flow; refer to 1.8.3 for full
details and Section 3 - COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN.

1.8.2

Cubicle Cooling Air


In addition to the liquid cooling system there is also a requirement for a clean cooling air flow
through any cubicle/enclosure in which a MV LCD module is housed. This air flow should
ensure that the modules and associated electronic circuits are operating in a clean, dust-free
air which is free from corrosive vapours and cooled for operation within the temperature
specification. The air flow is normally determined for each application but would typically
include an air intake on a cubicle door with fan assistance and filtering as required. Factors to
be considered when determining the amount of cooling air to be supplied to a cubicle and
whether it should be filtered are:

(e)

the type and amount of contamination in the cooling air and the need for any filtering (e.g.
is the contamination conductive or corrosive?).
Note: In extreme environments the use of dual circuit heat exchangers is recommended.

1.8.3

MV LCD Module Cooling System


1.8.3.1

Introduction

The MV LCD product range is a high power rated industrial drive which uses a water-ethylene
glycol coolant system to move heat away from the power electronics to a position where it can
be more effectively dissipated into the environment. This dissipation is normally done with a
liquid-to-air heat exchanger.
A fully integrated cooling system should comprise the following items:
(a)

a liquid-to-air heat exchanger:

(b)

a force ventilation fan;

(c)

a pump;

(d)

a header tank;

(e)

a strainer;

(f)

ball valves;

(g)

inlet and outlet manifolds;

(h)

instrumentation for coolant conditions e.g. measurement of temperature and flow rate refer to 3.2 for more details.

The cooling system is used for all of the MV LCD modules described in this technical manual.
Each module includes a precision machined casting with a cooling duct through which the
liquid coolant is pumped; normally a water-ethylene glycol mixture. Additional components are
required to complete the cooling system. A typical liquid-to-air cooling system for a multiple
MV LCD module configuration is included at Figure 1-13.
1.8.3.2

Page 1-16

Features

The MV LCD module has spring loaded couplings with auto shut-off valves fitted to
enable cooling pipes to be easily connected to, or released from it, without excessive
coolant loss.

Vent valves are included on the MV LCD module.

The Cooling System can be designed to suit any combination of MV LCD modules.

2.7.1

AC Phase Current Ratings


The AC Phase Current Ratings, detailed at Table 2-9, are limited by the system design. The
cooling system, number of paralleled Transistor Bridge Modules, type and configuration of
controller will limit the system rating. It is NOT possible to achieve these absolute ratings
under all operating conditions. Most combinations of ambient temperature, supply voltage,
and switching frequencies will result in a reduced rating. Refer to the Converteam factory or
agent for specific ratings for different configurations.

2.7.3

DC Link Voltage
Table 2-10 lists the DC Link Voltage and the DC Link Overvoltage Trip Level. When a motor
is braked, power is returned to the drive and the d.c. link voltage rises. The drive is
programmed to trip if the d.c. link voltage rises to an excessive level to protect the MV LCD
Transistor Module. The trip level, which is set at the controller for a nominal supply voltage of
690 V, is given at Table 2-10.

Heat Dissipation
The heat dissipation for a MV LCD transistor module will vary depending upon a number of
factors which include the type of module and the drive in which it is used (a typical dissipation
from module to coolant is 8900 W). The total heat dissipation will include heat dissipated from
the MV LCD module into the coolant and into the cubicle. Additionally heat will be dissipated
from the module electronics into the cubicle. As these dissipation figures are all application
dependent refer to Converteam for advice.

2.7.6

Thermal Protection
Thermal protection is provided on each transistor bridge module by a thermistor located within
each IGBT Module. The thermistor is embedded within the module.

Acoustic noise is negligible for the MV LCD Transistor Bridge Module. There will be a small
amount of noise from the fan assembly which houses the cooling fans for the d.c. link
capacitors and this will be 52 dB(A). However, the majority of any noise generated will be
from the heat exchanger system and this will be specific to each application.

MV LCD Module Cooling System


The cooling system for the MV LCD rectifier and transistor modules uses an ethylene glycol
type of liquid coolant (full specification is at Section 3). There are particular requirements for
specification of the:
(a)

cooling system - including all the requirements external to the liquid cooled modules;

(b)

control, protection and instrumentation for the cooling system;

(c)

compatibility rules for liquids and materials which may come into contact with the coolant
or the cooling system.

Because these are all important aspects of the specification, which involve the user in the
design of a cooling system, all the specification requirements are included at Section 3 COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN. However, those details which relate specifically to the Liquid
Cooled modules, are specified in this Section 2.

Issue (08/06)

T1693EN

Page 2-11

2. Specification
2.11.1

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

Type and Concentration of Coolant


The recommended coolant type is an ethylene glycol water mixture with a minimum
concentration of 33% for the ethylene glycol. Refer to 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 for additional details.

2.11.2

Volume and Weight of Coolant in each MV LCD Module


The volume of coolant in each MV LCD module, Rectifier and Transistor, is 1.75 litres ( 0.38
UK gallon or 0.46 US gallon); weight of coolant is 1.75 kg (4 lb).

2.11.3

Coolant Flow Rate


The recommended flow rate, per module, for the coolant is 25 litres/minute (5.5 UK
gallons/minute or 6.6 US gallons/minute).

2.11.4

Pressure Drop across a MV LCD Module


The pressure drop measured across a single MV LCD module, including the couplings, is
typically 0.3 bar (30 kPa) at a flow rate of 25 litres/minute (5.5 UK gallons/minute or 6.6 US
gallons/minute); variation of glycol concentration does not affect this pressure drop.

2.11.5

Cooling System Working Pressure


The maximum working pressure for the cooling system is 3 bar (0.3 MPa). The maximum
pressure for testing purposes only is 6 bar (0.6 MPa) for short durations.

2.11.6

Coolant Inlet Temperature


The maximum coolant inlet temperature is 60 oC (140 oF) - measured at the inlet to the cooling
duct.

2.11.7

Material Compatibility in Cooling Path


It is important that all materials in the cooling path are compatible with each other and with the
type of ethylene glycol coolant in use (see 3.7.2). Because the external cooling path is
specified by a system integrator and the equipment is not normally supplied with the MV LCD
module it is important that material compatibility is maintained. The materials which are used
in the MV LCD Cooling Path, and those which are acceptable for the external cooling path, are
listed in this specification at Tables 2-17 and 2-18 respectively. Table 2-19 lists materials
which are known to be incompatible with other materials in the MV LCD cooling path. This list
is not fully inclusive and therefore system integrators must check intercompatibility.

The coolant used in this equipment may be hazardous to health if not stored, handled
and disposed of in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

3.1

Introduction
The MV Liquid Cooled DELTA (MV LCD) module liquid cooling system depends upon specific
requirements for each particular application and therefore requires separate consideration of
its design at the system integration stage. This section, which includes details relating
specifically to the Cooling System Design, should also be read in conjunction with Section 2 SPECIFICATION which includes all the specifications for the MV LCD modules. The details
included in this Section 3, for Cooling System Design, include integration of the cooling
system control, protection and instrumentation features within the drive system and outline
specifications for the hardware and coolant required for a complete cooling system. Outline
specifications are included for the heat exchanger, the coolant pump, the header tanks and
associated fittings and all piping and couplings. A detailed specification is included for the
coolant and guidance is given about safe use, handling and disposal of the recommended
coolants. A typical cooling system is shown at Figure 3-1.
Throughout this section of the manual reference to a MV LCD Module should be read as
applying to either a Rectifier Module or a Transistor Module unless a type of module is
specifically stated.

3.2

Cooling System Integration Requirements


Requirements for integration of the control, protection and instrumentation features of the
cooling system with the drive controller depend upon each particular application. Some of
these features are included as standard on a MV LCD module, e.g. measurement of heatsink
temperature by thermistor, and inputs for the related control and protection circuits are already
available within the MV3000e controller. However, other features which are not included as
standard on the module, may also be considered at the system integration stage. Both
standard and non-standard features for control, protection and instrumentation are now listed.
The lists are not fully inclusive and special application conditions may include more extensive
requirements.

3.2.1

Control
Control, and interlocking with system design, may be required for the following:

3.2.2

(a)

co-ordination of coolant pump and heat exchanger operation;

(b)

coolant pump switch off when coolant temperature is low;

(c)

economic use of the heat exchanger fan by controlled intermittent operation;

(d)

Heat Exchanger - Requirement Specification


The heat exchanger, which is not included with the MV LCD module, should be specified by
the system integrator. To assist with that specification Table 3-1 lists those features which
should be considered and specified at the system integration stage for a liquid-to-air heat
exchanger; liquid-to-liquid types may also be used. The exact details will depend upon each
particular application, including, for example, the number of MV LCD modules which have to
be cooled.
When designing the heat exchanger please refer to Section 2 - SPECIFICATION, in this
manual, which includes details of typical heat dissipation from the MV LCD modules and their
associated electronics. These heat dissipation figures should provide a basis for calculations
of the heat exchanger size for each particular application. The specification for material
compatibility in the cooling system is also included at Section 2 and this should be
implemented.
Detailed consideration should be given to the operating altitude whereby de-rating may be
required for the heat exchanger.
Protection of the heat exchanger for thermal overload conditions may also be required
and this should also be specified during system design.

Coolant Pump - Requirement Specification


Before specifying a coolant pump refer to Section 2 - SPECIFICATION for details of the
module cooling requirements and compatible materials. Specification of the coolant pump
should include the following:

3.5

(a)

type;

(b)

rating - power, voltage, current, flow rate, pressure etc;

(c)

temperature - operating and storage;

(d)

size/capacity - consider rate of flow and associated pressure drops (see 2.11.4);

(e)

IP category;

(f)

any protection required e.g. thermal overload by either thermostat or thermistor and
feedback requirements into drive system;

(g)

requirement for a second (standby) pump.

Header/Expansion Tank - Requirement Specification


Before specifying a header/expansion tank refer to Section 2 - SPECIFICATION for details of
the module cooling requirements, including volume of coolant required for each module and
material compatibility specifications.
Specification of the tank should include consideration of the following:
(a)

Page 3-4

whether a fully sealed system is required;


T1693EN

Issue (08/06)

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

3.6

3. Cooling System Design

(b)

type of header tank;

(c)

size of tank - when determining the size allow for the volume of coolant in all modules, all
pipework, pumps, manifolds and header tank;

(d)

material for tank should be compatible with the module material specification (see
Section 2);

(e)

position of tank in relation to cubicle housing the modules.

Piping, Couplings and Fittings - Requirement Specification


There are several important factors to consider when specifying the piping, couplings and
fittings for the MV LCD Cooling System. These factors relate to the number of modules, the
materials used in the cooling system, their temperature and environmental specifications.
Refer to Section 2 - SPECIFICATION for details of those requirements. All materials for
piping and couplings should be compatible with the module material specification at Section 2.
Specification of the piping, couplings and fittings for a multiple arrangement of modules (i.e.
more than one) should include the following:
(a)

possible use of a cooling system design that includes a by-pass around the heat
exchanger to minimise the possibility of condensation occurring on those parts of the
cooling system enclosed in the cubicle;

(b)

the flow and return pipes should be positioned to ensure equalisation of coolant flow
when piping to multiple modules e.g. the first connection from the inlet manifold connects
to the FLOW coupling of the first liquid cooled product. The RETURN coupling from this
module would connect to the last (end) connection of the outlet manifold - see Figure 3-1;

(c)

each liquid cooled module is fitted with two spring loaded, auto shut-off couplings - one
for FLOW and one for RETURN. Two mating parts, Staubli Unimation Part RMI 16 type
N00711796 socket hose couplings, are supplied loose with each module. These hose
couplings are suitable for 19 mm (3/4 in) internal bore hose;

(d)

pipes (flexible) - specification of flexible pipes from the MV LCD module to the cubicle
manifold are included at Table 3-2 where typical, flexible high quality rubber pipes,
manufactured, for example, by Codan Gummi A/S of Denmark are detailed adequate
fixings should also be specified to ensure that the pipes are fully located onto the
coupling and firmly held in place by a clamp;
Note:

Suitable clamps are Oetiker 2-Ear-Clamps available in the U.K. from


Oetiker U.K. Ltd Tel. +44(0) 1403 26 04 78 and also available
internationally from the same company.

(e)

pipes (rigid) - specification of rigid pipes recommended for couplings from the cubicle
manifold to heat exchanger/pump are detailed at Table 3-3, based on BS 21;

(f)

strainer - type and specification are user determined - recommended position is before
the pump in the flow line;

(g)

ball valves - type, specification and position are user determined;

(h)

stop cocks - type, specification and position are user determined;

(i)

vent valves - type, specification and position are user determined - note that if an
automatic air eliminator valve is used, e.g. for a sealed system, it should be at the highest
point in the cooling system i.e. higher than the vent valve which is positioned in the
module;

factors including pipe diameter and finish. Refer to BS 1387 in the UK, or
other appropriate national standards, for details.
Stainless steel pipe is also an acceptable alternative to the carbon steel
pipe. Thick wall and thin wall stainless steel pipe should be specified
against BS 4127 for UK use or other appropriate national standard.

Coolant

WARNINGS

3.7.1

Type of Liquid Coolant


Only use a recommended coolant with corrosion inhibitors.

Mixing Liquid Coolants


Do not mix coolants of different types or from different manufacturers.

Water without Corrosion Inhibitors


Do not use water as the only coolant. Mix water with corrosion inhibitor or ethylene
glycol containing corrosion inhibitor.

Coolant Inlet Temperature at the Module Cooling Duct


The maximum cooling system inlet temperature, measured at the entry point of the coolant
into the module cooling duct on the module, is 60oC.

Page 3-6

T1693EN

Issue (08/06)

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

3. Cooling System Design

The ambient temperature of the coolant is application dependent and should include
consideration of heat from all the pumps, heat exchangers and pipework etc.
The inlet temperature should always be qualified as either that for the coolant duct or that for
the total cooling system. The latter will be feeding several modules and possibly other
equipment as determined by the application and the temperature will therefore differ from that
measured at the entry point to a single module.
3.7.2

Coolant Type
The coolant mixture recommended for use with the MV LCD modules is an Ethylene Glycol
and Water mixture.
The coolant should meet the performance specification of BS 6580 or the equivalent national
standard. It must provide:
(a)

corrosion protection;

(b)

frost protection;

(c)

scale inhibitors (against hard water);

(d)

all year usage.

Two types of recommended coolant are detailed below. A local supplier of coolant
(antifreeze) can be used providing that it complies with the requirements in (a) to (d) and is
compatible with the materials specified at Table 2-17 and Table 2-18.
However, it is
important that these coolants, or any others from different manufacturers, are NOT MIXED in
the cooling system.
Note:

Ethylene Glycol based coolants are NOT normally compatible with polyurethane
which should therefore not be included in the cooling system.

Recommended U.K. based coolant suppliers are:

3.7.3

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

Coolant Mixture and Concentration


Coolant and pure or de-mineralised water should be used to prepare the coolant mixture.
The coolant mixture concentration depends upon the minimum external ambient temperature
to avoid the possibility of freezing - refer to the manufacturers recommendations for a coolant
concentration to meet your requirements. There are four particular conditions which must be
noted when determining the concentration of coolant viz:

3.7.4

(a)

as the percentage of ethylene glycol within a coolant mixture increases, the efficiency of
the coolant to remove heat from a module reduces slightly;

(b)

.concentrations of ethylene glycol above approximately 50% offer no further protection


against low temperatures.

(c)

concentrations of ethylene glycol above approximately 75% provide less low temperature
protection.

(d)

a minimum concentration of 33% Ethylene Glycol must be included with the cooling
system to ensure adequate corrosion protection.

Volume of Coolant in a System


The volume of coolant required for a cooling system depends upon the particular application
and should consider the volumes of coolant required for:
(a)

all the modules;

(b)

all the cooling pipes;

(c)

header/expansion tank;

(d)

manifold(s);

(e)

evaporation loss between planned maintenance.

Refer to Section 2 - SPECIFICATION for the capacity of coolant in each module.


3.7.5

Separation of Different Coolant Types


It is recommended that the coolant used for MV LCD modules be kept separate from any
other coolants used at the same location. It is also important that different manufacturers
types of coolant are not mixed in the same MV LCD cooling system.

3.7.6

Rate of Flow and Cooling Rate


Before specifying the rate of flow for cooling requirements refer to Section 2 SPECIFICATION for the cooling rates and heat dissipation figures for each module. Because
cooling rates are affected by heat dissipation, ambient temperatures, coolant volumes etc.
calculations for the required cooling rate and flow rate will depend upon each particular
application.
The rate of flow, which is application dependent, should typically be 25 litres/minute.

3.7.7

Renewal of Coolant
Renewal of coolant is described at Section 8 - MAINTENANCE.

The coolant is subject to particular conditions during handling, storage and disposal. Refer to
the manufacturers instructions for the particular coolant in use. It is recommended that the
instructions be retained with this manual. Detailed advice for safe handling, storage and
disposal is included at Section 8 - MAINTENANCE. Disposal of the coolant and/or its
container should be done in accordance with the manufacturers instructions to ensure
compliance with local and national Health, Safety and Environmental legislation.

WARNING
Local Safety Regulations
Follow all local safety regulations for electrical equipment when planning and
installing Liquid Cooled DELTA based systems.

4.1

Introduction
This section gives guidance for the selection, planning and installation of MV
Liquid
Cooled DELTA (MV LCD) Drive Systems. As each application has different requirements, this
section only gives general rules and information. Requirements for Electromagnetic
Compatibility are included at 4.4 and these should be implemented during the Cubicle
Planning stage.

4.2

Guidance for the Selection of MV LCD Products


If the drive is non-standard the following selection procedure is included for guidance when
confirming that the products ordered for a particular application are suitable:
1. Calculate the application current rating based on a 1.1 times (variable torque) overload for
60 seconds, 6 times per hour.
2. Select the appropriate MV LCD configuration. The standard supply voltage range is 575 690 V. Apply de-rating factors (ambient temperature and altitude etc.). Select the
appropriate number of MVDL643-4701s to achieve the current rating for the application.
3. Select one ALSPA MV3000e DELTA Controller.
4. One MV DELTA User I/O Termination Panel is required.
5. Choose a quantity of Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS(s)) - one per MV LCD Inverter
Module.
6. Corresponding to the required DELTA rating select the appropriate MVRL rectifier module.
The rectifier designation is in d.c. current in Amps, i.e.
MVRL2100 = 2100 A d.c..
To relate rectifier rating to inverter module rating the conversion factor is:
a.c. current = 0.85 x d.c. current
Note:

It is important to note that when two MV LCD rectifier modules are paralleled
a 10% derate should be applied for load sharing reasons.

As with MV LCD inverter modules, extra care should be taken with calculations when
required current ratings are very close to (i.e. just under) the module rating.
7. Rectifier module MVRL2100 is designed for cable connection.
8. For multiple MV LCD Inverter Modules output sharing is achieved by independent cabling
from the inverter to a star point at the motor.
9. Choose the appropriate interbridge reactor for 12-pulse rectifier configurations.

11. Choose the size and quantity of MV LCD module mounting frames to cover the number of
modules i.e. rectifiers and inverters, and also to suit the desired cubicle width(s) and
depth(s).
12. Select Technical Manuals.

General Considerations for the Enclosure of MV LCD Drives


When planning for the installation of MV LCD components into a cubicle there are some
general design considerations which have an effect on the overall performance of the drive
system and also affect its compliance with various standards and approvals.

4.3.1

Enclosure Type
Essential requirements for the enclosure are that:
(a)

(b)

The MV LCD modules must be enclosed in a steel (conductive) enclosure for:


-

electrical safety - all doors must be closed and all unnecessary apertures avoided;

reduction of radiated emissions from the drive and protection of the drive from
radiating sources.

The enclosure must provide a Pollution Degree 2 Environment, in accordance with


IEC 60664-1, UL 840 and CSA 22.2 No. 0.2, for the MV LCD system components.
Note: Refer to Section 2 for the specification of an enclosure to meet a Pollution Degree
2 Environment.

(c)

The assembly and connection of all parts should be done using the torque settings at
Appendix B.

4.3.2

Enclosure Sizes

4.3.2.1

600 mm (23.6 in) Deep Enclosure


The MV LCD modules and components may be mounted in a range of different sized
enclosures - see Table 2-19 for cubicle/enclosure widths and depths. However, when a
600 mm (23.6 in) deep enclosure is used, careful planning is required because some
components use the full enclosure depth.
Also on 600 mm wide enclosures the horizontal mounting position of a module is offset 20 mm
further to the left on the 600 mm cross rails than on all other versions.

4.3.2.2

800 mm (31.5 in) Deep Enclosure


The side supports for the 800 mm deep cubicles allow for two variations in the fitting of the MV
LCD modules viz:

Page 4-2

(a)

modules mounted at the back of the cubicle - pipework and manifolds must then be fitted
either above and below the cross members or located outside the cubicle.

(b)

modules mounted forward of the rear face of the cubicle - this will allow for pipework and
manifolds to be mounted on the rear wall of the cubicle behind the modules.

T1693EN

Issue (08/06)

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA


Note:

4. Cubicle Planning

To implement variation (b) the user must purchase an additional lower front cross
member which fixes onto the side supports. The reference depends upon the
cubicle type, quantity of modules and cubicle width; these are listed at Table 4-1.

Position of Rectifier Bridge Module


It is recommended that the Rectifier Bridge Module be mounted on the right hand side of a
cubicle (front view), with space to the right of the module, for the following reasons:

4.3.4

(a)

access to d.c. positive and negative cable connections on the right hand side of the
module;

(b)

access to the d.c. link pre-charge fuses which are located on the printed circuit board at
the rear of the module;

(c)

access for tidy routing of cables from the d.c. connections;

(d)

most cubicle doors are hinged on the left, so door interlocked isolators are mounted on
the right of the cubicle.

Position of MV3000e Controller


The MV3000e controller is designed for mounting on the left or right hand side sheets of a
cubicle housing MV LCD modules. There are certain constraints which apply to the position of
the controller, and its associated modules, and User I/O Termination Panel and these are:
(a)

wherever the controller is mounted allow a 50 mm (2 in) ventilation space above and
below the controller;

(b)

arrange for the controller to be mounted with front access for the LED(s) and sufficient
space for access to all the connecting plugs, sockets and terminations;

(c)

allow sufficient space around the controller for the routing and retention of all associated
cables;

(d)

arrange for User I/O Termination Panel to be mounted on the same side of the cubicle as
the controller to minimise any EMC problems (refer to 6.8 for details) - ensure that the
cable routing distance for the 50 way ribbon cable from PL20, at the controller, to the
User I/O Termination Panel does not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft);

(e)

ensure that the cable routing distance for each of the six 40 way ribbon cables from the
controller to each module does not exceed the lengths supplied - refer to 6.3.1 for details
of cable lengths;

(f)

ensure that the cable routing distance for the cable from PL12 to a Network Bridge
Rectifier does not exceed 25 m (82 ft);

Issue (08/06)

T1693EN

Page 4-3

4. Cubicle Planning

4.3.5

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

(g)

ensure that the optional Drive Data Manager (Keypad), when used, is mounted in a
position which is within the 3 m (9.8 ft) cable length for connection to the controller at
SK5 - this dimension will influence controller position;

(h)

ensure that the cable routing distance for the 50 way ribbon cable from PL20, at the
controller, to the User I/O Termination Panel does not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft).

Position of MV Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS)


There is one SMPS for each MV LCD Transistor Bridge Module. It is mounted on the upper
front face of the module from which it derives a d.c. power supply.

4.4

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Requirements


There are particular requirements for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) compliance.
These requirements are determined, to some extent, by the application for which the MV LCD
system is being used. However, there are some general guidelines which can be used to
ensure that the equipment is EMC compliant. These guidelines are listed at 4.4.1 to 4.4.5.

4.4.1

General Application Guidance


There is some general application guidance for the MV LCD equipment as follows:

4.4.2

(a)

When the equipment is being used in a second environment (industrial environment) in


accordance with IEC 61800-3 then EMC filters are not normally required.

(b)

If the equipment is installed on a public low voltage supply which also supplies domestic
premises (first environment according to IEC 61800-3) then EMC filtering will be
required.

(c)

Filtering will also be required if other items connected to the same supply are sensitive to
radio frequency interference or would normally be used in domestic environments.

(d)

EMC filters may only be used if the supply neutral is connected to earth/ground at the
source of the supply (also known as TN or TT network).

(e)

If EMC filters are to be used and there are also thyristor converters (e.g. d.c. drives) on
the same supply, any commutation notches from these converters must not exceed 40%,

(f)

If an EMC filter is fitted, it must be mounted on to a metal panel which is directly bolted to
the metal framework of the cubicle.

EMC Requirements for The Enclosure


There are particular EMC requirements that apply to an enclosure housing MV LCD
equipment as follows:

Page 4-4

(a)

Clean air cooling apertures in the enclosure should be fitted with EMC screen filters.

(b)

The gland plate for input/output cables must be bolted directly to the enclosure walls, or
to metal framework to which the outer walls are electrically bonded. Gland plates should
not to be spaced off, even on metal pillars or bars and direct metal-to-metal contact must
be achieved for earth continuity and low electrical noise purposes.

(c)

Module mounting rails must be secured to the metal frame of the enclosure, to achieve
high mechanical strength and good earth bonding for electrical safety and EMC.

(d)

If more than one enclosure is used for the MV LCD module system, bond these securely
together making a continuous enclosure. This bonding should be by direct metal-tometal contact, not by braids or cables. If it is not practical to have these enclosures
adjacent, use armoured cable or conduit, glanded to each enclosure.

4.4.3

4. Cubicle Planning

Reactors and other Iron-cored Components


Wound components (e.g. reactors, transformers, interbridge transformers etc.) emit magnetic
fields and protection is required. The following guidance is given for such magnetic
components in the MV LCD equipment:
(a)

wound components must be installed in a steel enclosure to prevent emission of


radiation - for electrical safety, all terminals should be shrouded to prevent accidental
contact.
Note: These components will usually be mounted on the floor of the enclosure as they
are large and heavy.

(b)
4.4.4

Additionally air-cored reactors must have a minimum segregation of 300 mm (12 in).

Routing and Segregation of Cables


The routing and segregation of cables, including separation distances and directions of cable
routing, can all contribute to the performance of the equipment. The following guidance is
given for cables in the MV LCD equipment:
(a)

Wiring between the mains input and an RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filter must be
segregated by a minimum of 300 mm (12 in) from all other drive and drive output
components, i.e. modules, inductors and motor cable.

(b)

Control and power wiring must cross at 90 and be separated by a minimum of 300 mm
(12 in).

(c)

Ribbon cables supplied with MV LCD kits should be run along earthed metal and not
through mid-air. Use the ribbons supplied, do not extend these ribbons. If the ribbons
are too long, fold the excess length backward and forward (do not roll) to make a lowinductance bundle (see Table 6-1 and Figure 6-5).

(d)

The MV3000e controller should be mounted in the same enclosure, or suite of enclosures
as the MV LCD modules.
If the controller is fitted to a hinged gate, this should be mounted directly to the metal
frame of the enclosure. There are length restrictions from the controller to the furthest
module, due to the ribbon cable lengths as detailed in Section 6 - ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION.

(e)

The User I/O Termination Panel should be mounted in the same enclosure as the
controller and with a metal-to-metal contact with the enclosure frame.
The Ribbon Cable from the User I/O Termination Panel to the controller should be run
along earthed metal and not through mid-air. Again, there are distance restrictions, check
that the ribbon cables will reach - cable length is 2 m (6.5 ft). These ribbons should be
segregated by approximately 300 mm (12 in) from power cables and from external plant
wiring.

4.4.5

Protection of Cables Routed Outside the Enclosure


All cables which are routed outside the MV LCD enclosure - e.g. plant wiring where there is a
requirement for screening, segregation, terminations etc. - require protection which would
normally be determined by the application but generally follow the rules already described in
this section.

4.5.1

General Guidance
The Cubicle Planning details are intended for users who have been supplied with a kit of MV
LCD components for which an enclosure has to be provided. Guidance is given for planning
of that enclosure for assembly of the components.
(a)

List the items to be installed - a typical component list is included, as an example, at


Table 4-2.

(b)

Assess the approximate size and weight of the individual items.

(c)

Understand how the items are supported and mechanically interact - refer to the
appropriate assembly details at Section 5 - MECHANICAL INSTALLATION.
Note: The horizontal mounting position of the modules is offset 20 mm further to the left
on the 600 mm wide cross rails than on all other versions for Q80 and Rittal
PS4000 Series Cubicles.

(d)

If the equipment is to be mounted in an 800 mm deep enclosure, with space allowed at


the back of the modules for coolant manifolds and/or pipework, then ensure that the
upper and the lower front cross members are positioned appropriately. Note that an
additional front cross member is required in the rear location.

(e)

Decide on the positions of the network and machine bridge modules as follows:
refer to guidance at 4.3.3 for the rectifier module position;
allow a 50 mm (2 in) ventilation space above the upper cross member;

(f)

(g)

(h)

Page 4-6

Ensure that the cooling requirements are adequate, in particular, that:


-

a clean air supply is available for the electronics;

minimum clearances are complied with for ventilation above and below the

Component List
The list of components required for the drive should be discussed with Convrteam at the time
of ordering. Table 4-2 lists typical components that are required for a MV LCD drive.
Mounting details for the components are included at Section 5 - MECHANICAL
INSTALLATION.
Figure 4-1 shows a typical cubicle layout for the components included in this example.

4.5.2.2

MV31929 Cubicle Layout


The drive components listed at Table 4-1 may be mounted in an Converteam Q80 Cubicle, a
Rittal PS4000 Series cubicle or another equivalent cubicle for which the mounting frames are
described at Section 5 - MECHANICAL INSTALLATION.
The lower guide plates, cross members and side supports are all attached together and so
form a sub-assembly (the dimensions of these are shown at Figure 5-1). The MV LCD
modules slide into this sub-assembly.
The horizontal position of the modules within the cubicle is set by their position on the lower
cross members. This spacing is defined by the pitch required between the modules. The
front to back location of the cross members, and hence the modules, is set by the side
supports. The default location is with the module at the back of the cubicle. For the 800 mm
deep cubicle, however, the module can be moved forward to allow for pipework and coolant
manifolds to be located behind the module - refer to 4.3.2.2 and Table 4-1 for details.
The vertical position is determined by the cubicle planner and is dependent on any
components that are to be fitted, either underneath or above the modules, and also the
position of manifolds.
The enclosure shown at Figure 4-1 represents a MV31929 drive installed in a 2200 mm high,
1200 mm wide, 800 mm deep cubicle. The components shown are those that are mandatory
for this size of drive.
In addition to the mandatory components (see Table 4-2) other optional and user supplied
components, as listed at the table, may also be specified by the user.
The interbridge transformer should be mounted on the cubicle floor as it is large and heavy.
The controller should be attached to a side panel and positioned towards the front of the
cubicle; refer to 4.3.4 for general information about positioning the controller.
Cooling requirements should be considered. Fans for cubicle ventilation, and their position,
should also be specified by the user.

4.5.3

Cubicle Access
If cubicle access is required, either at rear or side, for auxiliary components then the modules
must be fully enclosed to prevent accidental contact with potentially live voltages.

Receipt and Storage of Equipment


Before starting work the contents of the kit supplied should be carefully unpacked and
inspected. Check the complete assignment against the delivery note for any shortages or loss
in transit.
Damaged or missing parts must be reported immediately to the supplier and the following
details quoted:
(a) list of damaged or missing items with names and part numbers;
(b) description of damage;
(c) delivery/advice note numbers and dates, and order and item numbers.
If the equipment delivered to site is not to be installed immediately:
(1) re-pack it in its original packaging material - if this is not possible it should be enclosed in
polythene sheet to protect it from the ingress of dust;
(2) store it in a clean dry atmosphere, preferably at room temperature - DO NOT EXCEED the
storage temperature limits referred to in 2.2;
(3) ensure that, if the equipment is stored for a long period of time, usually greater than two
years, the equipment supplier is contacted for advice about reforming the d.c. link
capacitors before the equipment is put into service;
(4) if the equipment is unpacked in a warm environment condensation may occur - if
condensation is seen do not use the equipment until its temperature has stabilised to that
of the working environment;
(5) ensure that a liquid cooled module, i.e. rectifier or inverter, is stored without any coolant
loaded in it.
Note:

Cooling Requirements
To ensure cooling efficiency for the power devices in the modules it is important that the
following checks be carried out prior to coolant being loaded into the cooling system:
(a) all modules have been assembled in the appropriate module mounting frame;
(b) all couplings for the cooling fluid pipes are correctly made and the external cooling system
has been appropriately designed (see Section 3 - COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN);
(c) all flexible pipes are securely fastened within the cubicle/enclosure which houses the
modules;
(d)

all materials used in the external cooling system are compatible with the materials in the
module cooling path (see Section 2 - SPECIFICATION for details of the compatible
materials);

(e) the cooling system, external to the module(s), has been checked for integrity.
The general cubicle/enclosure environment must dissipate the heat generated by the control
equipment and all ancillary devices. The maximum heat dissipation into the general
cubicle/enclosure from the MV LCD equipment varies for each application. The maximum heat
dissipation is given in Section 2 - SPECIFICATION. The enclosure internal temperature must
always remain within the equipment operating limits as specified at Section 2. If fans are used
to cool the general enclosure environment it may also be necessary for the air inlet to be
filtered, depending on the local atmospheric conditions.

5.4

Module Mounting Frame Dimensions


The standard kit of parts includes a mounting frame for installing the equipment into standard
Converteam Q80 style cubicles, or Rittal PS4000 series cubicles (see 2.12). The kit however,
does not include the cubicles. If another style of enclosure is to be used it will be necessary to
construct suitable brackets to mimic the Q80 mounting points to support the MV LCD frame
inside the selected cubicle. Advice should be obtained from Converteam prior to designing
any mounting steelwork.
Figure 5-1 shows the relative positions of the upper and lower cross members and four side
supports (and fixing hole centres) of the frame which must be interfaced with an enclosure
(e.g. Q80 type). The mountings of the lower side supports and rear cross member must be
strong enough to support the total weight of the MV LCD modules with the frame and
cabling/busbars. The weights of the modules and these components are listed at Section 2 SPECIFICATION.
There is an option to mount the modules in one of two positions of depth in an 800 mm deep
cubicle - see 5.5.2 and 5.6.2.

5.5

Assembling Module Mounting Frames for Q80 Cubicles

5.5.1

General
The frames are available in two cubicle depths and four cubicle widths for mounting up to two,
three, or four modules side-by-side. The eight frames are all of similar construction, with the
lengths of the cross members that determine the overall frame width, and the side supports
which determine the cubicle depth varying for each cubicle size. These instructions may be
used for any frame.
Prepare suitable mounting arrangements for the frames as described at 5.4. All fixing holes
for mounting the frames should be drilled 7 mm (9/32 in) to clear the M6 Taptite screws
supplied. Taptites are self-tapping and may be driven in by hand using pozi-drive
screwdrivers.

Side Supports for 600 or 800 mm (23.6 in or 31.5 in) Deep Cubicles
There are four identical side supports that may be fitted to the left or right sides of the cubicle.
The top of each of these supports may be identified by either two holes (in 600 mm deep side
support) or six holes (in 800 mm deep side support), in the top flange - see Figure 5-2 item 1.
Note:

Front to back orientation is not important as all of the fixing holes have been
mirrored about the centre line.

Each side support has two fixing holes at each end which accept the M6 Taptite screws supplied
in the kit. Use four M6 x 12 mm hexagon head earthed-nib Taptite screws to mount each of the
four side supports as shown at Figure 5-2 - item A.
For 800 mm deep cubicles, the module can be mounted either flush against the rear of the cubicle
or brought forward by approximately 100 mm (4 in) to allow for pipework to be fitted inside the
cubicle. Refer to 4.3.2 and 4.5.1 for details.
5.5.3

Cross Members
Refer to Figure 5-2, for details and part item numbers, and install the three cross members as

Assembling Module Mounting Frames for Rittal PS4000 Cubicles

5.6.1

General
The module mounting frames are available in two cubicle depths and four cubicle widths for
mounting up to two, three, or four modules side-by-side. The eight frames are all of similar
construction, with the lengths of cross members that determine the overall frame width, and
the side supports which determine cubicle depth varying for each cubicle size. These
instructions may be used for any frame.
Prior to installing the side supports in the cubicle, insert the Rittal M6 spring captive nuts
RIT/PS4614 (4 per side support and 4 for lower rear cross member) into the framework at the
desired distance L or M and side rail fixing centres B as shown at Figures 5-1 and 5-3. Other
positional dimensions are generally as the Q80 Cubicle.
Earth continuity through the cubicle steelwork cannot be guaranteed because of the method of
fixing the framework into the cubicle. To improve earth continuity, fit four M5 x 10 mm pozihead Taptite screws to secure each side support to the Rittal cubicle as described at 5.6.2.
The cubicle steelwork must always be separately bonded to earth/ground. Also refer to 6.4 for
earthing/grounding requirements.

5.6.2

Side Supports for 600 or 800 mm (23.6 in or 31.5 in) Deep Cubicles
There are four identical side supports that may be fitted to the left or right sides of the cubicle.
The top of each of these supports may be identified by either two holes (in 600 mm deep side
support) or six holes (in 800 mm deep side support), in the top flange - see Figure 5-3 - item
1.
Note:

Front to back orientation is not important as all of the fixing holes have been
mirrored about the centre line.

Each side support has four fixing holes at each end; the outer two accept the M6 x 12 mm
hexagon head screws supplied in the kit. Use four M6 x 12 mm hexagon head screws, each with
a spring washer, to mount each side support as shown at Figure 5-3 - item A. The inner two holes
at each flange of the side support accept M5 x 10 mm pozi-head Taptite screws - item G which
mechanically bond the side supports to the cubicle .
For 800 mm deep cubicles, the module can be mounted either flush against the rear of the cubicle
or brought forward by approximately 100 mm (4 in) to allow for pipework to be fitted inside the
cubicle. Refer to 4.3.2 and 4.5.1 for details.
5.6.3

Cross Members
Refer to Figure 5-3 and install the three cross members as follows:
(a) Identify the lower rear cross member - item 2. Use four M6 x 12 mm hexagon head
screws, each with a spring washer- item B, to mount the rear cross member to the cubicle
steelwork.
(b) Identify the upper cross member - item 3. Use four M6 x 12 mm pozi-head Taptite screws item C - to mount it between the two upper side-supports. Check that the end flanges are at the
bottom and face downwards.
(c) Identify the lower front cross member - item 4. Use six M6 x 12 mm pozi-head Taptite
screws - item D - to mount it between the two lower side-supports. The threaded inserts
should be in the top and front flanges - item E.

Figures 5-1 to 5-3 show a lower guide plate in position in a module mounting frame, for
Converteam Q80 and Rittal PS4000 Cubicles - item 5. One lower guide plate is required for
each module mounted in the module frame. It should be installed with four M5 x 10 mm pozihead Taptite screws - item F.

5.8

Drip Tray
It is recommended that a drip tray be fitted in the cubicle beneath the liquid cooled modules to
catch any coolant drips which may occur during servicing operations. The method of draining
condensate from the tray should be specified by the system integrator. Refer to Converteam if
advice is required.

5.9

Modules (Transistor and Rectifier Bridges)

CAUTION
The modules are delicate and vulnerable to damage - handle carefully.
Only lift or move them by use of the lifting point.
Lay them down on the plain left-hand face when not fitted in a frame.
Do not leave modules unsupported in the upright position.
5.9.1

Guidance for Handling


The MV LCD modules require particular care and attention during handling to ensure that
personnel are not injured or the modules damaged. Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5 show typical
Rectifier and Transistor Modules respectively and Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-7 show the outline
and fixing dimensions. The lifting arrangement is the same for each type of module. They
should only be lifted with a crane rated for the module weights, as detailed at Section 2 SPECIFICATION, and suitable for cubicle access. The modules should be handled without
any pipes attached. All preparatory work should be done in the cubicle/enclosure prior to any
module being lifted.

5.9.2

Module Lifting Procedure


(a) Attach the lifting shackle to the module lifting hole, 20 mm (3/4 in) diameter, at the top of
the module - see Figures 5-4 and 5-5.
(b) Lift the module to the appropriate height and move it into position to insert into the frame see Figures 5-8 and 5-9.
(c)

Tilt the module as it is moved into its slot so that it clears the withdrawal STOP SCREW
which is built into the bottom right-hand guide - see Figures 5-4, 5-5 & 5-10.

(d) When the rear of the module is located between the guides, lower and push the module
back until it sits on the frame.
(e) Remove the lifting shackle and then push the module firmly into position.
(f) The top and bottom front flanges should now lie against the upper and front lower cross
members and the four fixing holes in the flanges should align with the holes in the cross
members.
(g) Use four M6 x 12 mm pozi-head screws with plain and spring washers, supplied with the
mounting frame kits, to secure the module in place - see Figure 5-8.

In some applications the transistor modules may be connected together with a single busbar
across the d.c. terminals. In these situations it is very important that the modules are fully
inserted into the module mounting frame and are correctly aligned across the front faces of the
modules to avoid stressing any of the connections.

5.9.4

Fitting of Shrouds
The Rectifier and Transistor modules each have shrouds for the live terminals. The fitting
arrangement for these shrouds is included at Section 6 - ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION. The
shrouds should always be replaced after fitting cables.

front. Cubicle Planning details, which include the requirements determining the position of a
controller in a cubicle, are included at Section 4 - CUBICLE PLANNING. Wherever it is
mounted there are certain requirements which are applicable to the location as follows:
(a) plan the cubicle layout to receive a MV3000e controller as detailed at 4.3.4;
(b) ensure that the operating environment and cooling requirements comply with the
specification in Section 2 - SPECIFICATION;

Page 5-14

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

5. Mechanical Installation

(c) mount the controller with four M5 Taptite screws to the fixing dimensions at Figure 5-11
and torque setting as detailed in Appendix B - the orientation of the controller will depend
upon the mounting position within the cubicle.

5.11

Installation of the Drive Data Manager (Keypad)

CAUTION
When drilling a panel or cubicle door to fit a Drive Data Manager (Keypad) do not
allow any swarf from the drilling operation to enter the enclosure - it may cause
component malfunction.
A Drive Data Manager (Keypad) is available, as an optional item, for use with the MV3000e
Controller. The MV3000e Keypad, part number MVS3000-4001, is supplied separately from
its associated waterproof gasket and lead, part number MVS3001-4001. The lead, for
connection from the Keypad to the MV3000e Controller, has a maximum length of 3 m (9.8 ft).
This lead length determines the relative positions of the Keypad and the controller.
The Keypad can be mounted in a separate location from the controller within the cubicle.
When supplied with a waterproof gasket, it can be mounted on a cubicle door to meet IP 65
enclosure protection. It should be retained by the six M4 x 8 mm fixing screws and washers
supplied. Refer to the Instruction Sheets T1915 and T1916 respectively (supplied with the kit)
for details of the keypad and mounting.

5.12

Installation of the User I/O Termination Panel


The User I/O Termination Panel, shown at Figure 5-12, can be mounted wherever it is most
convenient in a cubicle for a particular application, within the 2 m length limits of the ribbon
cable (for connection to the controller), and complying with the segregation requirements. The
outline dimensions, including fixing dimensions, are also shown at Figure 5-12. Guidance for
positioning of the termination panel is given in Section 4 - CUBICLE PLANNING and guidance
for the routing and separation of associated cabling is given in Section 6 - ELECTRICAL

Piping Connections for Cooling System


The following notes provide general guidance for the cooling system piping connections to
single and multi-cubicle suits. The guidance given must be interpreted for each particular
application; it cannot be specific for all applications.

5.16.1

Piping and Couplings


When the MV LCD module has been securely placed in position in its mounting frame it is
recommended that the coolant piping from the module to a cubicle manifold, and from the
manifold to the external cooling system, should be installed.
The type of pipe and couplings for internal and external connections are detailed at Section 3 COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN. The internal piping from the module to the manifold should be
of a flexible type and it is recommended that the external piping from the manifold to the
external cooling system should be of a rigid type.
A module is shown at Figure 5-15 with the positions for piping, couplings and valves.
The procedure for filling the cooling system when all the piping and couplings are in place is
described at 7.5.

MV LCD Module Showing Positions of Piping, Couplings and Valves


T1693EN

Issue (08/06)

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

5. Mechanical Installation

A typical arrangement of MV LCD modules installed in a cubicle, with all piping and couplings
fitted into position, is shown at Figure 4-1.
Important points to consider when routing and installing the pipes into a cubicle are:
(a) will the external cooling pipes enter the cubicle at top or bottom and have suitable
arrangements been made at the cubicle and at the location on site?
(b) particular attention should be given to the position and method of securing the manifolds
taking into account the pipe routing which will be dependent upon application
requirements e.g. from the top or bottom of a cubicle;
(c) ensure equalisation of coolant flows when piping to multiple MV LCD modules which
should be arranged on the diagonal principal so that the flow and return pipes are positioned
diagonally opposite across the modules - refer to Figure 3-1.
(d) all flexible piping couplings should have their protective end caps removed prior to the
connection being made - the end caps should be stored safely for use whenever the
module is removed or refitted.
5.16.3

Recommendations for Routing Pipes into Multi-cubicle Suites


When routing piping into multi-cubicle suits there are additional recommendations which
should be observed and these are:
(a) follow the diagonal flow principle for routing pipes to all the cubicles in a suite;
(b) if the diagonal flow principle cannot be used, for any reason, it is important that other
methods of achieving an equalisation of coolant flow through all the cubicles in the suite
be considered;
(c) one other method of achieving an equalisation of coolant flow is to use balancing valves,
but when they are used it is important to establish a method of validating that equal flow
is being achieved in each cubicle in the suite.

5.16.4

Retention and Fitting of Pipe in a Cubicle


Careful consideration should be given to the fitting and retention of all pipes in the cubicle. In
particular the following should be considered:
(a) the method of fitting and retaining both flexible and rigid pipes should not restrict access to
electronic equipment which may have to be removed;

To prevent failure of the Rectifier Bridge Module pre-charge components,


the rectifier pre-charge acknowledge signal (TB1/9) must be connected to
the control module. If this signal is not high the control module will not
allow the drive to run.

Power Terminals for MVRL2100 Rectifier Bridge Module


All terminals appear at the front and on the right hand side of the module and are suitable for
cable ring-crimp connection - see Figure 6-1. Refer to Appendix B for torque settings.
The six phase terminals, marked R1, S1, T1 and R2, S2, T2, are each two M10 studs located
on the front of the module. An M10 plain and spring washer should be fitted under the
nuts/bolts when connecting cables.
The d.c. positive connections, marked RECT1 + and RECT2 +, are each two M10 studs
located on the right hand side of the module.
The d.c. negative connections, marked RECT1/2 -, are four M10 studs located on the right
hand side of the module.
The earth terminal, see Figure 6-1, is one M10 stud, located on the front of the module and
identified as shown at Figure 6-7.
There are two types of terminal shrouds used on the Rectifier Module as shown at Figure 6-3.
One shroud protects the three phase terminals R1, S1 T1 and R2, S2, T2 and runs along the
whole bridge. The RECT1 terminals, located at the lower front right corner of the module, are
protected by a second smaller shroud. The larger shroud is attached to the module with M5
pozi-head screws, which fit into spacers on the module, and snap type rivets, which fit into

Control Connections
Details of all the control connections on the Transistor Bridge Module are:
(a) a 40 way ribbon cable connection from the controller to PL1 at the module;
(b) a 40 way ribbon cable connection to the SMPS from PL3 at the module;
(c) a d.c. cable connection to the SMPS from TB1;
Each Transistor Bridge Module is controlled via one 40-way ribbon cable which connects to
the controller. The controller has the capability to drive up to six MV LCD Transistor Bridge
Modules and the sequence of cabling to the controller connectors PL2 to PL7 is therefore very
important - the controller software recognises which modules are in use and the positions of
their connectors.
The 40-way ribbon cable connection to the module from the SMPS supplies power to the gate
drive circuits on the Transistor Bridge Module.

6.3.2 Power Terminals for MVDL643 Transistor Bridge Module


Connections to the phase terminals, shown at Figure 6-4, are intended to be made by cables.
Connections to the d.c. link terminals, DC+ and DC-, are intended to be made by either cables
or busbars.
Phase terminals, marked A, B and C, are each two M10 studs. D.C. link terminals, marked
DC+ and DC-, are each two M10 studs at the bottom of the module. The earth terminal, an
M10 stud, is located on the lower left front face of the module.
The shrouds for power connections are attached by press fit rivets as shown at Figure 6-6 and
must be fitted after the connections have been made.
6.3.3

AC Power Cables
A MV LCD module is designed for connection with cables, the maximum size of which is 2
120 mm2 (250 mcm) - see 2.7.7 for cable details.
In multiple MV LCD module applications, sharing between the machine bridge modules is
achieved through the use of equal cable lengths which are each greater than 20 metres in
length.

Module Earthing/Grounding Requirements


The steel module mounting frame into which a MV LCD module, Rectifier or Transistor
module, is mounted can be used as the earthing method provided that the earth continuity is
checked between the module earth terminal and the main cubicle earth point. The earth
continuity must be equal to or less than 0.1 ohm, with at least 20 A supplied from a source of
not more than 12 V, measured between the M10 earth terminal and the cubicle earth stud. If
this value is not achieved then the module must be separately earthed via the M10 earth
terminal at the lower front face of the module. The M10 earth terminal is identified on the
module by the symbol shown at Figure 6-7.

Figure 6-7

Protective Earth (ground) symbol to IEC 60417 (Symbol 5019)

6.6 Line Contactors and Relays


When installing line contactors and relays in close proximity to, or connected to, the MV LCD
modules, the coils must be fitted with suppression devices.
Suppression will normally take the form of a suitably sized series connected capacitor and
resistor connected across the contactor/relay coil.

MV3000e Controller
All the connections at the MV3000e Controller for the MV LCD Transistor Bridge Modules, the
Rectifier Bridge Modules, the User I/O Termination Panel and the Drive Data Manager
(Keypad) are shown at Figure 6-8. Functions for PL12 connections at the Controller, for the
rectifier bridges, are listed at Table 6-2.
Connections at the Drive Data Manager (Keypad) are shown at Figure 6-9 and the functions
listed at Table 6-3. Connections at the User I/O Termination Panel are shown at Figure 6-10
and the functions listed at Table 6-4.
The MV3000e Controller should be wired to the associated equipment in accordance with the
connection diagrams in Appendix A which show the connection arrangements for various
configurations of network and machine bridges, the User I/O termination panel and the liquid
cooling circuit.
There are particular rules which determine the position of each MV DELTA transistor bridge
module in the mounting frames so that the controlling software correctly recognises the
presence of the module in a particular position. The modules should be assembled in the
mounting frames in a sequence from left to right (front view) without any spaces. The
connection arrangement for the modules at the controller is shown in the connection diagrams
at Appendix A. The first module in the mounting frame is connected to PL2 at the controller.
The configuration software does not recognise the position of a rectifier bridge module in a
mounting frame.

Insulation Tests
When the pre-commissioning checks have been completed it is recommended that insulation
tests be carried out, prior to the equipment being commissioned, to check that cables have not
been damaged during installation and that the equipment is correctly bonded for earthing
purposes. These tests will vary in detail for each application, particularly the tests which are
carried out at a cubicle level, and therefore only general guidance is included.
For ease of testing it is recommended that the MV LCD equipment be considered in four
groups. The tests are detailed for each group with all the test conditions applicable to other
groups also being specified. The equipment performance should be checked after all the
insulation tests have been completed to ensure that no component damage has occurred.

7.3.1

Preparation of the Cooling System

7.4.1

Initial Checks prior to Coolant Loading


To ensure cooling efficiency for the power devices in the MV LCD modules carry out the
following checks before loading the coolant into the cooling system.
Check that:

7.4.2

(a)

all modules have been assembled in the appropriate mounting frame;

(b)

all cooling system connections are correctly made and the external cooling system has
been appropriately designed (see Section 3 - COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN);

(c)

the FLOW and RETURN pipes are in correct positions at the module;

(d)

all flexible pipes are securely fastened within the cubicle/enclosure;

(e)

all materials used in the external cooling system are compatible with the materials in the
module cooling path (see Section 2 - SPECIFICATION);

(f)

the coolant to be used is of a recommended type or a compatible alternative;

(g)

the coolant mixture and concentration meet required temperature range;

(h)

the end caps from all couplings on the flexible pipes have been safely stored for future
use during re-commissioning or maintenance.

Initial Tests prior to Running the Cooling System


Carry out the following tests before running the cooling system:
(a)

flush the system with de-mineralised water to remove any debris; clean strainer;

(b)

a pressure test, pneumatic or hydrostatic, to ensure the cooling system withstands


working pressure a hydrostatic test may use the intended coolant (see 7.5).

7.5

Filling the Cooling System

7.5.1

Precautions
Precautions, which should be observed when using a coolant, are:

7.5.2

(a)

only use coolant with corrosion inhibitors;

(b)

read the manufacturers Safety Instructions before using the coolant;

(c)

handle, use, store and dispose of coolant in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions - use protective gloves when handling the coolant;

(d)

do not mix coolants from different manufacturers or different types from the same
manufacturer.

Procedure
The procedure for filling the cooling system will depend on the specific application. The
requirements will vary for each application but will normally include the following stages:
(a)

Page 7-6

calculate the amount of coolant mixture required for a complete cooling system - allow for
the volume of coolant in modules, all pipework, pumps, manifolds and the header tank;

T1693EN

Issue (08/06)

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA


(b)

determine the concentration required for a recommended coolant mixture based on the
lowest temperatures likely to be experienced and the details at Section 3 - COOLING
SYSTEM DESIGN for recommended types and manufacturers;
Note:

7.6

7. Commissioning

As the percentage of ethylene glycol within a coolant mixture increases, the


efficiency of the coolant to remove the heat from the module reduces
slightly. Concentrations above 50% offer no further protection against low
temperatures and above 75% provide less low temperature protection. A
minimum concentration of 33% must be included to ensure adequate
corrosion protection.

(c)

prepare the required amount of a coolant mixture, to the required concentration, to meet
the requirements of the cooling specification and with an allowance for some spare
concentrate mixture to be stored for top up purposes;

(d)

fill the cooling system either via the header tank or through a suitable filling location if a
closed system is used;

(e)

when the system has been filled, carefully vent all air as follows:
(1)

bleed each module at its top air vent valve (see Figure 5-15), with a 5 mm (0.2 in)
square key, do not fully remove the bleed screw from the valve;

(2)

ensure that coolant does not flood out;

(3)

when all air has been purged, tightly close the bleed screw.

(f)

top up the system, if necessary;

(g)

carry out a visual check for coolant leaks in the system;

(h)

record details of coolant type and loading date on plant records (see Figure 8-3).

Running the Coolant Pump only


When the cooling system has been filled with the specified coolant mixture run the coolant
pump to check the integrity of the cooling system and to trap any foreign bodies from the
system in a strainer. Proceed as follows:

7.7

(a)

start up the coolant pump and run for one hour at working pressure;

(b)

visually check the cooling system for coolant leaks;

(c)

after one hour switch off the pump;

(d)

isolate the strainer by closing the ball valves on each side of it;

(e)

remove the strainer from the system and clean it of any foreign bodies;

(f)

replace the strainer;

(g)

open the ball valves;

(h)

now proceed with checks for the instrumentation and controls.

Checks for Instrumentation and Controls


Checks for the control, protection and instrumentation included for each cooling system design
may vary and these will normally be included at the system integration stage. They should be
checked prior to the complete drive system being commissioned.
(a)

start up the coolant pump;

(b)

start up the heat exchanger fan and check for fan operation;

Issue (08/06)

T1693EN

Page 7-7

7. Commissioning
(c)

carry out another visual check for coolant leaks during operation of coolant pump;

(d)

if flow meters are fitted check that the flow rate meets the specification at Section 3 COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN;

(e)

check all feedback signals from the header tank if fitted - this should include a trip signal
for the condition when the coolant level is too low;

(f)

check for interlocking with other aspects of a drive, for example:

(g)

7.8

ALSPA MV Liquid Cooled DELTA

(1)

when coolant flow is stopped;

(2)

co-ordination of FAN ON and PUMP ON;

proceed to commission the drive in accordance with MV3000e Getting Started Manual
T1676 carrying out coolant temperature checks at 7.9 during commissioning.

Commissioning
After the pre-commissioning checks, the insulation tests and preparation of the Liquid Cooled
system have been carried out as described in this section proceed to commission the full drive
equipment. The commissioning should be in accordance with instructions in the MV3000e
Getting Started Manual T1676 and, when applicable, the instructions prepared by a System
Integrator. Details for customising the MV3000e Controller parameters for specific
applications i.e. application programming, are also in the T1676 Manual.

7.9

Coolant Temperature Checks During Commissioning


The commissioning procedures, which are defined in the MV3000e Getting Started Manual
T1676, must be followed.
If the external coolant temperature can be measured this can be compared with the transistor
bridge temperatures. Prior to running the bridge, its temperature, which is indicated by the
feedback signals to the controller, via parameter P11.05 for the Machine (Output) Bridge 1, for
example, can be compared against the coolant flow temperature and should be of a similar
value.
Run the transistor bridge and monitor the bridge temperatures via the feedback signals to the
controller. Check that there are no significant variations between the temperatures of the
bridges of different modules. If there is a variation, check the flow and return temperatures for
the coolant at each module and compare with other modules. A variation of temperature,
between the modules, may arise because of an unequal coolant flow and this should be
investigated and corrected.

8. Maintenance

The removal of a MV LCD module from a cubicle requires use of the crane and the presence
of two people. Note that, under normal circumstances, the time involved for carrying out
preliminary checks and disconnecting wiring will normally be sufficient for the cooling pipes
and connectors to have cooled down from the high temperature prevailing during normal
operation. However, it is recommended that the cooling hoses be disconnected with care. As
a precaution gloves should be worn when handling these couplings. Proceed to remove the
module from a cubicle in the following sequence:

8.5

(a)

refer to Figure 8-1, release the Removable Front Plate and remove it from the front of the
module - note that one fixing screw is accessed through a hole in the insulation for the
transistor module;

(b)

refer to Figure 8-1, disconnect the FLOW cooling system flexible hose from the module
by releasing the spring loaded couplings - carefully pour the coolant out of the coupling,
approximately 20 ml ( 0.7 fl oz), into a small container ensuring that it does not spill onto
any electronic equipment;

(c)

refer to Figure 8-1, disconnect the RETURN cooling system flexible hose from the
module by releasing the spring loaded couplings - carefully pour the coolant out of the
coupling, approximately 20 ml ( 0.7 fl oz), into a small container ensuring that it does not
spill onto any electronic equipment;

(d)

release the module from its frame by undoing the four M6 Pozi-head fixing screws, spring
and plain washers - two sets at the top and two at the bottom;

(e)

withdraw the module until it reaches the STOP SCREW and then attach the crane
shackle to the lifting hole in the top of the module (see Figures 5-4 and 5-5);

(f)

take up the weight of the module on the crane and carefully withdraw the module from its
frame, over the STOP SCREW (at the bottom right-hand guide);

(g)

with the crane taking the weight of the module, completely withdraw the module from its
frame;

(h)

with the module hanging on the crane and steadied in its vertical position by one person,
drain the coolant out of the module into a suitable large container (e.g. a bucket) - drain
by attaching the spare hose to the spring loaded coupling for the FLOW hose on the
module and then attaching it to the RETURN coupling to drain both sides of the module;

(i)

when all the coolant has been drained from the module remove the spare hose and
coupling and move the module into a safe position with its left hand side (when viewed
from the front) laid on a flat surface;

(j)

check the drained coolant for any solid particles and remove them, by filtration if
necessary;

(k)

retain the cleaned coolant for subsequent return to the cooling system for use when a
new module is fitted;

(l)

take the end caps out of store and fit them to all couplings.

Transporting a MV LCD Module

CAUTIONS

8.5.1

DO NOT TRANSPORT the module at any time with the coolant inside it - there is a
risk of damage due to differential expansion.

DO NOT FLUSH the module after it has been drained - there is a risk of damage
due to corrosion from the use of ordinary water.

The coolant, and its container, should be disposed of in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions for compliance with local and national Health and Safety and Environmental
legislation. Such disposal will normally be done by approved waste contractors. The method
of emptying the cooling system is detailed at 8.4.

8.17

Preventive Maintenance
There are simple preventive maintenance routines which should be carried out to ensure
operating efficiency for the equipment and these are now described.

8.17.1

Monthly Checks - With the Power Off


The following checks should be carried out monthly, with the power off:

8.17.2

(a)

ensure that all ventilation louvres to the cubicle are unobstructed;

(b)

examine the input and output power terminations for any signs of overheating.

Six Monthly Checks - With the Power Off


The following checks should be carried out every six months, with the power off:

8.17.3

(a)

carry out the monthly checks detailed at 8.17.1;

(b)

check that all terminations are secure;

(c)

remove any accumulated dust from the equipment, using a suction type cleaner with a
non-conducting nozzle.

Periodic Checks of the Cooling System - With the Power Off


At a period determined by the application and environmental conditions under which the
equipment is operating carry out the following checks, with the power off:

8.17.4

(a)

check all pipes and connections in the cooling system for any loss of coolant;

(b)

if there has been any loss of coolant top up the system with a coolant of the same type
and concentration - it is recommended that a supply of coolant is retained for top up
purposes when the original mixture of coolant is prepared (see 7.5.2);

(c)

carry out a periodic check of coolant concentration and compare this with the originally
specified concentration - correct any variation.

Renewal of Coolant - With the Power Off


The coolant should be renewed each year as follows, with the power off:
(a)

empty the coolant from the cooling system and dispose of it in accordance with the
coolant manufacturers instructions;

(b)

if a strainer is fitted in the cooling system remove it, clean it and replace it in position record the details;

(c)

flush out the cooling system with a de-mineralised water;

(d)

renew the coolant immediately after the cooling system has been flushed out and record
details of the following items (see typical record sheet at Figure 8-4):

details of any samples which are sent for analysis.

Cleaning of a Strainer
If a strainer is fitted in the cooling system it should be regularly cleaned. The most convenient
time to clean it is when the cooling system is down for renewal of the coolant as described at
8.17.4.
However, if problems occur during normal operation, because of the strainer becoming
blocked, then it should be cleaned more frequently and the cleaning period adjusted
accordingly.
Records should be retained of all the cleaning dates.

Spares and Servicing

8.20.1

Spares
There are no recommended spares for the MV LCD modules or the MV3000e Controller
except for the pre-charge protection fuses for the rectifier module which are detailed at 8.20.3.
If either a module or a controller is suspected of being faulty it should be referred to
Converteam for servicing.

8.20.2

Servicing
Before removing a module for return to Converteam for servicing a user should ensure that
the facilities, the skills and the appropriate lifting equipment are available to replace the
module - detailed instructions are included at 8.2 to 8.8.
When any equipment is being returned for servicing it is important that all the details available
about the conditions under which the equipment failed are conveyed, preferably in writing, with
the returned equipment.
When referring to Converteam about any modules and/or controller the serial number for the
suspect item must always be quoted. Any references to replacement ribbon cables should
quote the part number from the original ribbon/connector.

8.20.3

Pre-charge Fuses
The recommended pre-charge protection fuse for the MVRL2100-4601 rectifier module is
Bussmann type KTK-8 rated at 8 A and 600 V (cartridge size 10 x 38 mm) Converteam
reference S82028/310. Replacing these fuses with another rating or type will invalidate safety
approvals.
Three pre-charge fuses are located on the upper printed circuit board which is located at the
rear of the rectifier module.

8.21

Capacitor Reforming
If this equipment is kept in store for long periods of time, usually greater than two years, it may
be necessary to reform capacitors before putting the equipment of which they are a part into

Each drive circuit diagram is built from a series of circuit elements. This document contains a
variety of these circuit elements for a range of different drive configurations. (Using circuit
elements allows the large number of standard, different drive configurations to be shown in
one document).
These configurations for MV3000e systems allow different :
(a) main supply inputs, including:
(1)

type of supply: 6 pulse or 12 pulse (for harmonic reduction) including:


(i)

(2)

isolated secondary supply transformer;

supply voltage: 525 - 690 V;

(b) drive current ratings:


(1)
(2)

643 A and above;


1.1 x and 1.5 x overload current ratings for the Transistor Bridge Module and, at
present time, 1.1 x overload current rating for the Rectifier Bridge Module;

(3)

1 - 6 Machine Transistor Bridge Modules;

(4)

1 - 2 Network Rectifier Bridge Modules.

The complete drive circuit diagram is a set of 6 separate circuit elements. These elements are
in the form of a letter followed by a number. The letter defines the circuit element type. The
number shows the circuit element configuration, e.g:
J1

shows a Network Bridge (Power), 6 Pulse Supply Input, 1 (single) Rectifier.

Table A-1 details all the circuit element types used with the ALSPA MV LCD range of modules
and controller. All of the circuits for each element type are included at A.3.

Appendix B - Recommended Torque Settings

Appendix B Recommended Torque Settings


B.1

Scope
This document details the recommended tightening torque settings for connectors used on the
ALSPA MV LCD based modules.
The recommended torque settings are applicable to high-tensile steel (Grade 8.8) fasteners
fitted with a single turn spring washer under the nut, and with the threads being zinc plated,
passivated and unlubricated over the normal operating temperature of these components.
Specifically excluded are :
(a) fasteners with any other material (e.g. brass);
(b) fasteners with any other finish (e.g. raw steel, cadmium plated, lubrication of any sort);
(c) slotted holes in either steel or copper.

B.2

Torque Settings for Electrical Connections


The figures included at Table B-1 are for electrical connections of copper conductor crimps to
device terminals and to all copperwork except busbars for which figures are included at Table
B-2.

B.3

Torque Settings for Busbar Joints


The figures at Table B-2 are for all busbar joints on copperwork.

B.4

Torque Settings for Mechanical Connections


The figures at Table B-3 are for the assembly and mounting of steel parts where specific
electrical connection, other than continuity, is not involved.
