6.3.3 Selection of winding insulation with
frequency converters
The selection of winding insulation and filters can be made
according to table below:
Nominal supply
voltage U
N
of
the converter
Winding insulation and filters required
U
N
≤
500 V
ABB Standard insulation
U
N
≤
600 V
ABB Standard insu dU/dt filters
OR
ABB Special insulation
(variant code 405)
U
N
≤
690 V
ABB Special insulation
(variant code 405)
AND
dU/dt-filters at converter output
6.4 Thermal protection
of windings
All cast iron Ex -motors are equipped with PTC thermistors
to prevent the winding temperatures exceeding the
thermal limits of used insulation system. In all cases it is
recommended to connect them.
NOTE!
If not otherwise indicated on the rating plate, these
thermistors do not prevent motor surface temperatures
exceeding their temperature classes (T4 or T5).
It is recommended that the thermistors are connected to a
thermistor circuit relay functioning independently and that
is dedicated to reliably trip off the supply to the motor.
NOTE!
According to the local installation rules, it may be
possible to also connect the thermistors to equipment
other than a thermistor relay; for example, to the
control inputs of a frequency converter.
6.5 Bearing currents
Bearing voltages and currents must be avoided in all
variable speed applications to ensure the reliability and
safety of the application. For this purpose, insulated
bearings or bearing constructions, common mode filters
and suitable cabling and grounding methods (see chapter
6.6) must be used.
6.5.1 Elimination of bearing currents
The following methods must be used to avoid harmful
bearing currents in frequency converter driven motors:
Frame size
250 and smaller
No actions needed
280 – 315
Insulated non-drive end bearing
355 – 450
Insulated non-drive end bearing
AND
Common mode filter at the converter
For the exact type of bearing insulation, see the motor’s
rating plate. Changing the bearing type or insulation
method without ABB’s permission is prohibited.
6.6 Cabling, grounding and EMC
To provide proper grounding and to ensure compliance
with any applicable EMC requirements, motors above 30
kW must be cabled using shielded symmetrical cables
and EMC glands, i.e. cable glands providing 360° bond-
ing. Also for smaller motors, symmetrical and shielded
cables are highly recommended. Make the 360° ground-
ing arrangement at all cable entries as described in the
instructions for the glands. Twist the cable shields into
bundles and connect to the nearest ground terminal/
busbar inside the terminal box, converter cabinet, etc.
NOTE!
Proper cable glands providing 360° bonding must be
used at all termination points, e.g. at motor, converter,
possible safety switch, etc.
For motors of frame size IEC 280 and upward, additional
potential equalization between the motor frame and the
driven equipment is needed, unless both are mounted on
a common steel base. In this case, the high frequency
conductivity of the connection provided by the steel base
should be checked by, for example, measuring the poten-
tial difference between the components.
More information about grounding and cabling of variable
speed drives can be found in the manual “Grounding and
cabling of the drive system” (Code: 3AFY 61201998) and
material on fulfilling the EMC requirements can be found in
respective converter manuals.
