INCREASE PERFORMANCE
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE & SYSTEM PROTECTION
The AcuDrive XS helps maximize system reliability with built-in protection
against:
- System overloads
- Motor failures
- Motor and drive overheating
- Voltage disturbances
- Power surges
- Loss of phase
- Phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground
- Short circuit
- Ground fault
- Switching on input/output
- Electrical disturbances
- Over-voltage
- Over-current
- Under-voltage
- External fault
- Over-temperature
Minimize motor noise and heating with ASFM
- With the ASFM (Adjustable Switching Frequency Modulation) function, the switching frequency is adjusted automatically to the speed of the motor. As speed is reduced, the switching frequency increases to ensure optimally low noise and reduce motor heating
- Input line protection from extreme running conditions
Short circuit
The Acu Drive XS is protected against short circuits by measuring the current
in each of the three motor phases. A short circuit between two output phases
will shut down the drive as soon as the current exceeds the maximum value
Line disturbances and transients
To protect itself from AC line voltage disturbances, the drive monitors all
three phases and interrupts drive operation in the event of phase loss or
imbalance
Voltage sags and surges
The Acu Drive XS is designed for a wide range of operating conditions. The
480-volt drive will operate from 342-528VAC. The 230-volt drives will operate
on 180-264VAC
Maximum protection features
Output protection for longer motor life
- Acu Drive XS incorporates both DC-link reactors or motor output protection as standard design features
Thermal protection for the drive and motor
- The ETR (Electronic Thermal Relay) is an open loop method built into the Acu Drive XS software to guard against motor overheating, requiring no additional sensors or wiring
- This function is UL-recognized (Class 20) as an effective guard against motor thermal overload
The Acu Drive XS has built-in thermal protection and also accepts thermistor signal input from the motor to create closed-loop thermal protection for the entire system.
Initial final ramp
- An initial ramp provides rapid acceleration of pumps to a desired minimum speed, at which time the normal ramp takes over. This prevents damage to thrust bearings and overheating of the pump.
- The final ramp decelerates pumps to avoid unintended closure of check values and water hammer.
Compatible with Pentair® pumps with premium efficient motors.
Acu Drive XS Specifications
- Acceptable Manufacturers: Danfoss® VLT® AQUA Series VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) for Pentair Commercial Aquatics.
- General: Furnish complete VFD as specified herein or in the equipment schedule for loads designated to be variable speed. VFDs shall be user-selectable for either constant or variable torque loads. The VFD shall convert incoming fixed-frequency three-phase AC power into a variable frequency and voltage for controlling the speed of three-phase AC induction motors. The VFD shall be a six-pulse input design, and the input voltage rectifier shall employ a full wave diode bridge; VFDs utilizing controlled SCR rectifiers shall not be acceptable. The output waveform shall closely approximate a sine wave. The VFD shall be of a PWM output design utilizing current IGBT inverter technology and voltage vector control of the output PWM waveform. The VFD shall produce an output waveform capable of handling maximum motor cable distances of up to 1,000 ft. (unshielded) without tripping or derating. VVCPLUS provides rated RMS fundamental voltage from the VFD. This allows the motor to operate at a lower temperature rise, extending its thermal life. The VFD selected must be able to source the motor’s full load nameplate amperage (fundamental RMS) continuously, and be capable of running the motor at its nameplate RPM, voltage, current, and slip without having to utilize the service factor of the motor. The VFD shall offer a programmable motor parameter that allows the total number of poles of a motor to be programmed to optimize motor performance. VFD shall automatically boost the power factor at lower speeds. The VFD will be capable of running either variable or constant torque loads. In either CT or VT mode, the VFD shall be able to provide its full rated output current continuously and 110% of the rated current for 60 seconds. An Automatic Energy Optimization (AEO) selection feature shall be provided in the VFD to minimize energy consumption in variable torque applications. VFD shall offer a motor spinning test that will run the motor at 5 Hz until the OK button is pressed to allow the user to determine if the motor is running in the correct direction. Switching of the input power to the VFD shall be possible without interlocks or damage to the VFD at a minimum interval of 2 minutes. Switching of power on the output side between the VFD and the motor shall be possible with no limitation or damage to the VFD and shall require no additional interlocks. The VFD shall have temperature-controlled cooling fans for quiet operation, minimized internal losses, and greatly increased fan life. VFD shall provide full torque to the motor given input voltage fluctuations of up to +10% to -15% of the rated input voltage.
- Harmonics: The VFD shall be provided with line-side harmonic reduction, as required, to ensure that the current distortion limits, as defined in table 10.3 of IEEE 519-1992, are met. Harmonic solutions shall be designed to withstand up to 2% line imbalances with the maximum Current Distortion not to exceed 11% at 100% load. Harmonic solutions shall be capable of withstanding up to 2% ambient voltage distortion with the maximum Current Distortion not exceeding 12% at 100% load.
- Protective Features: VFD shall have input surge protection utilizing MOVs, spark gaps and Zener diodes to withstand surges of 2.3 times line voltage for 1.3 msec. VFD shall include circuitry to detect phase imbalance and phase loss on the input side of the VFD. End-of-pump curve detection shall stop the motor when the pump is operating outside of its programmed pump curve. VFD shall provide flow compensation to reduce energy by adjusting the Setpoint to match changes in flow (friction loss). VFD shall include current sensors on all three output phases to detect and report phase loss to the motor.
- Interface Features: VFD shall provide an alphanumeric backlit display keypad (LCP) which may be remotely mounted using a standard 9-pin cable. VFD may be operated with the keypad disconnected or removed entirely. The keypad may be disconnected during normal operation without the need to stop the motor or disconnect power to the VFD. VFD Keypad shall offer an INFO key that, when pressed, shall offer the contents of the programming manual for the feature that is currently in the display. VFD Display shall have the ability to display 5 different parameters about the VFD or load including current, speed, DC bus voltage, output voltage, input signal in mA, or other values from a list of 92 different parameters. A red FAULT light, a yellow WARNING light and a green POWER-ON light shall be provided. These indications shall be visible both on the keypad and on the VFD when the keypad is removed. Two-level password protection shall be provided to prevent unauthorized changes to the programming of the VFD. VFD shall offer as standard an internal clock. The internal clock can be used for timed actions, energy meter, trend analysis, date/time stamps on alarms, logged data, preventive maintenance, or other uses. There shall be six fully programmable digital inputs for interfacing with the system’s external control and safety interlock circuitry. Two of these inputs shall be programmable as inputs or outputs. The VFD shall have two analog signal inputs. Inputs shall be programmable for either 0 -10V or 0/4-20 mA. The run permissive circuit shall also be capable of sending an output signal as a start command to actuate external equipment before allowing the VFD to start. The VFD shall be equipped with a standard RS-485 serial communications port and front-of-drive accessible USB port.
- Adjustments: The VFD shall have an adjustable output switching frequency. The VFD shall have four programmable “skip frequencies” with adjustable bandwidths to prevent the driven equipment from running at a mechanically resonant frequency. VFD shall include an automatic acceleration and deceleration ramp-time function to prevent nuisance tripping and simplify start-up. The VFD will include a user-selectable Reset function, which enables the selection of between zero and twenty restart attempts after any self-clearing fault condition (under-voltage, over-voltage, current limit, inverter overload and motor overload), or the selection of an infinite number of attempts. The time between attempts shall be adjustable from 0 to 600 seconds. An automatic “on delay” function may be selected from 0 to 120 seconds. The VFD will include a user-selectable Auto-Restart function that enables the VFD to power up in a running condition after a power loss, to prevent the need to manually reset and restart the VFD.
