Design

Drive topology

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 series drives

achieve an uncompromising performance by employing

well-proven technology in a modular configuration, as shown

in Figure 2.2. Medium voltage levels are obtained by adding

together the outputs of multiple power cells. The power cells

are simplified variations of standard multi-level PWM motor

drives for low-voltage service, which have been built in high

volume for many years.

Figure 2.2 Topology of SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives

(3 cells per phase)

For higher output voltage capabilities, the SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 topology can be extended up

to six power cells in series in each phase, with additional

secondary windings (number of secondaries equals number

of power cells) on the integral isolation transformer.

Each power cell is capable of receiving input power at

750 V AC, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz and delivering that power to a

single phase load at a variable frequency from 0.5 Hz to the

maximum rated output frequency of the drive.

Transformer

Since the early 1990s, Siemens LD has collaborated

extensively with transformer suppliers to perfect the design of

the transformers used in each SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY

GH180 drive. The patented design provides several benefits in

the drive topology, including the adaptability to input voltage,

a multi-pulse input, and a reduction in common mode voltage.

The transformers used in the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY

GH180 air-cooled drives are dry-type, forced-air cooled. They

are designed specifically for use with a particular SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive configuration, and have

9 to 18 extended delta secondaries. The secondary currents

are rich in harmonics, but the primary current is virtually

sinusoidal.

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 transformers

are designed, constructed, and tested as per IEC 60076-11

standard. The transformer is an integral part to the SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive that cannot be specified or

obtained externally to Siemens.

Proven IGBTs

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) form the backbone

of the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive. Built in

high volumes and serving as a proven power device across the

industrial power control industry, IGBT technology has been in

existence for more than two decades. The stability and avail￾ability of IGBTs give reliable, long-term, lifecycle confidence.

Linked power cells

In the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180, a series of power

cells (see Figure 2.3) are linked together to build the medium

voltage power output of the drive system. This patented

modular configuration gives the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY

GH180 many advantages when it comes to maintenance,

power quality and reliability. It also provides the basis for

one of its most important advantages – increased availability

through the advanced cell bypass option.

Figure 2.3 Schematic of a typical power cell

Advanced cell bypass

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 is designed to

withstand failures that would overwhelm conventional drives

because redundancy options are added into the system. The

patented, cell-based configuration maximizes uptime and

simplifies modifications.

Design (continued)

Through a redundant bypass control that is completely

separated from each power cell, the SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 ensures automatic bypass of a failed

power cell in 250 ms.

Since the cells in each phase of a SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 drive are in series, bypassing a cell has no 

effect on the current capability of the drive, but the voltage

capability will be reduced. Usually the required motor voltage

is roughly proportional to speed, so that the maximum speed

at which the drive can fulfill the application requirements

will also be reduced.

Therefore, it is important to maximize the motor voltage

available after one or more cells have been bypassed. The

following figures illustrate the voltage available from a

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive, where the

cells, represented by circles, are shown as simple voltage

sources. Figure 2.4 shows a 15-cell drive in which no cells

are bypassed. With 100% of the cells in use, 100% of the

original voltage is available. The voltage commands to the

three phase groups of cells will have phase A displaced from

phase B by 120°, and from phase C by 120°.

Figure 2.4 Simplified diagram of a 15 cell drive

When two cells are bypassed in phase A, the output voltage

will tend to become unbalanced, as illustrated in Figure 2.5.

Figure 2.5 Drive output with 2 cells bypassed in phase A

One possible remedy is to bypass an equal number of cells

in all three phases, even though some may not have faulted.

Figure 2.6 illustrates this approach. Obviously, this method

prevents unbalance but sacrifices possible voltage capability.

In this figure, 87% of the cells are functional, but only 60%

are in use, and only 60% of full voltage is available.

Figure 2.6 Drive output rebalanced by bypassing functional cells

A better approach is illustrated in figure 2.7. This method takes

advantage of the fact that the star-point of the cells is floating,

and is not connected to the neutral of the motor. Therefore

the star-point can be shifted away from the motor neutral, and

the phase angles of the cell voltages can be adjusted, so that

a balanced set of motor voltages is obtained even though the

cell group voltages are not balanced.

Siemens calls this approach Neutral Shift 1). This approach is

equivalent to introducing a zero-sequence component into the

voltage command vectors for the cells.

In Figure 2.7, the full remaining 87% of functional cells are in

use, and 80% of the original voltage is available. The phase

angles of the cell voltages have been adjusted so that phase A

is displaced from phase B and from phase C by 132.5°, instead

of the normal 120°.

Figure 2.7 Drive output rebalanced by adjusting phase angles

(Neutral Shift). Even though the drive may be in bypass, it will continue to

operate so long as there is one healthy cell in operation in each phase.

Control, protection and monitoring functions

Closed-loop control The drive can be controlled by means of vector control algorithm without an encoder (standard)

or with it (option).

Auto tuning Auto tuning is available to optimize the control performance of the drive.

Automatic restart Automatic restart is a custom feature used to purposely restart and restore the drive operation after a power

failure or power removal. When Automatic Restart function is specified by the customer, qualified Siemens

personnel must configure and ensure the function executes as specified.

Energy saver Energy saver control allows the reduction of motor losses, and improves overall efficiency, when the demanded

motor load is low. Depending on the motor load, the control will reduce motor flux.

As motor load increases, the control will increase motor flux.

Flying restart / catch a spinning 

load

The flying restart function permits smooth connection of the drive to a rotating motor.

Diagnostics functions • Self-diagnosis of control hardware

• Non-volatile memory for reliable diagnosis when the power supply fails

• Monitoring of IGBTs with individual messages for each cell

• User-friendly local operator panel with plain text messages

• The alarm/fault log consists of a circular buffer that records up to 256 faults or alarms, so that

 you can access the 256 most recent faults and/or alarms that have been detected.

• The historic log records operating data of the drive and is frozen upon detection of a fault.

User configurable digital meters The user can select indication of speed, voltage, current, input/output power, and efficiency on the

operator panel.

Process control system The optional Process Tolerant Protection Strategy (ProToPS) is a groundbreaking process control system

available exclusively from Siemens. Instead of tripping the drive and automatically shutting down the

system due to a malfunction, ProToPS provides a hierarchical system of warnings. This control strategy allows

time to evaluate the situation and respond appropriately to avoid a system shutdown.

Operating hours and switching 

cycle counter

The amount of the time that the drive was operational since it was commissioned can be displayed.

The switching cycle counter can be generated by means of an event log from the drive controller.

Detection of actual motor speed The control algorithm calculates actual motor speed from currents and voltages measured at the drive output.

Emergency stop button The drives are equipped as standard with an Emergency Stop button (red mushroom button with yellow

collar) which is fitted in the cabinet door. The contacts of the pushbutton are connected in parallel to the

terminal block so they can be integrated in a protection concept on the plant side.

Insulation monitoring An optional output signal can be provided to operate the customer protection.

I/O monitoring I/O signals allow user customization of the system and they can be monitored remotely or by using the operator

panel display.

Thermal overload protection Based on the output signals of the drive, the thermal motor model is calculated. The motor thermal overload

protection algorithm prevents the motor from being exposed to excessive temperatures.

To calculate power cell rating for any overload above 150% (6SR4 40-260A) or 110% (6SR4 315-375A and GenIVe): 

Power Cell Rating w/OL = Imax,60s / OL

or use following formulas:

6SR4 40-260A (above 150% OL): Power Cell Rating w/OL = Power Cell Rating,nominal * (1.5/OL)

6SR4 315-375A (above 110% OL): Power Cell Rating w/OL = Power Cell Rating,nominal * (1.1/OL)

6SR4 500-660A (above 110% OL): Power Cell Rating w/OL = Power Cell Rating,nominal * (1.1/OL)

6SR4 750A: Power Cell Rating w/OL = Power Cell Rating,nominal * (1.0/OL)

Selection and ordering data

Drive Selection Criteria

The following tables help you to select the right converter

type and give an overview of the corresponding motor data

and order numbers. The tables are organized according to

the motor voltages. For the complete technical data of the

listed converter types refer to Chapter 3.

In order to select the right SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY

GH180 drive, please take into consideration the following

steps:

Step 1 – Choosing the right cell size

1.1 Determine the maximum continuous motor current,

temporary overload not included:

• Use the motor full load line current (FLA) if

available or use the following formula to calculate

motor current I.

where,

P motor __kW = shaft output (in kW)

V motor = motor voltage

PF motor = motor power factor = (cos φ motor)

h motor = motor efficiency

(keeping in mind: motor service factor if utilized and/or

overload requirements)

• If the motor power factor (PF motor) and efficiency

at full load are not known then use the following

  default values:

PF motor = 0.88

h motor = 0.96

• Factor in the motor service factor (SF) if the appli-

cation will make use of it under long term operation.

You do so by multiplying the given/calculated current

(from step 1.1) by the motor SF.

1.2 Determine the minimum continuous cell current rating:

If the drive is intended to operate within nominal

parameters, the maximum continuous motor current

will be the minimum continuous cell current rating.

1.3 Factor in any overload requirements:

For the cell chosen on the previous paragraph,

make sure it can handle the application overload

requirements by checking overload capabilities

(see page 2/7).

If the overload requirements exceed the capabilities

of the chosen cell then the next larger cell size must

be selected.

Step 2 – Choosing the right transformer

2.1 The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 transformer

rating is based on the motor shaft horsepower:

If the drive is intended to operate within nominal

parameters and without added redundant cells, the

maximum continuous motor horsepower (hp) will be

used to rate the transformer using a straight formula: 

 1 transformer kVA per each motor hp

The above rule is followed regardless of motor type.

2.2 The transformer is designed to support the temporary

overloads associated with the cells it feeds. If those

levels are exceeded by the application requirements,

please contact the factory or your local Siemens

sales representative.

Note:

Please contact the factory or your local Siemens sales

representative if the drive is intended to operate outside the

nominal conditions such as:

• High ambient temperatures (greater than 40 °C)

• High altitude installations (greater than 1000m (3300 ft)

above sea level)

• Very low continuous operating frequencies at high current

(operating frequencies between 0.1 and 10 Hz)

• High frequency operation for high speed motors

(operating frequencies between 167 and 330 Hz)

3 x Vmotor x PFmotor x hmotor

M61 Redundant blower

To improve system availability, an additional blower is added to

the drive. If a blower within the drive cabinet fails, the redun￾dant blower is activated by the drive control system preventing

the drive from tripping. This prevents production down times or

interruptions. Replacement of the faulty blower can be post￾poned until the next scheduled shutdown.

Note: Option M61 is included by the option U10 (ProToPS)™.

M64 Drive prepared for duct flange connection in front

With option M64, the drive is prepared for connection to an

external exhaust air system, which shall connect to the front of

the blower assembly.

This option is applicable when the customer is providing

external exhaust ducting at the output of the blower to carry the

hot air blowing out of the drive cabinet outside the room.

When configuring the exhaust air ducts for the drive

ventilation system, it is essential to ensure that the air flow rates

stipulated in the technical data are observed. The pressure drop

between the air inlet and the air outlet of the drive is different for

different configurations. The additional pressure drop due to the

external exhaust air system must not be lower than 0 Pa (0 psi)

and higher than 50 Pa (0.007 psi).

Attention:

Note the following regarding the connection of an external air duct:

For changing the blowers, suitable openings have to be

provided in the air duct.

• It has to be assured that the cabinet doors can not be

opened / closed after mounting the air duct.

Note: Selection of option M64 can affect the values for sound

pressure level depending on the design of the exhaust air system.

For more implementation details on M64, please contact the

factory or your local Siemens sales representative.

U10

ProToPS™

With option U10, the control system Process Tolerant

Protection Strategy (ProToPSTM) is integrated – a ground￾breaking process control system available exclusively from

Siemens. Instead of tripping the drive and automatically

shutting down the system due to a malfunction, ProToPS

provides a hierarchical system of warnings in advance of

potential drive system trip. This control strategy allows time

to evaluate the situation and respond appropriately to avoid

a system shutdown.

Note: Option U10 includes the options U11 (cell bypass)

and M61 (redundant blower on the air-cooled units only).

Note: Contact the factory or your local Siemens sales

representative for option U10.

U11

Cell bypass

With option U11, the drive system will automatically

continue to operate uninterrupted if one or more cells

has a fault. The continuous current rating is maintained

with faulted cells but at a reduced voltage. This is a

recommended option for critical processes. Faulted

cells can then be replaced at a convenient planned

maintenance window.

Note: Option U11 is included by the option U10 (ProToPS)™

Note: When the load inertia is very low, for example such

as in an ESP motor-pump combination, then the speed may

reduce to zero during fast cell bypass operation. In such ap￾plications where a process trip may be issued by the system

control, use of Manual Bypass is recommended.

Manual Bypass is obtained when Fast Bypass is disabled but

Mechanical Bypass is still selected. When a cell fault occurs

the drive will trip on the cell fault, but the user can reset the

fault (manually), which triggers a cell bypass, and can then

proceed to re-start the drive.

U12

One redundant cell

Option U12 provides the capability of the drive to operate at

full power output with a failed cell in the drive. It does not

require additional cell hardware.

Output Filter

This option is used for ESP (Electric Submersible Pump) appli￾cations with long cables, where the filter resolves any problem

with cable reflections. This option may also be used to address

EMI or dV/dt requirements. The filter effectively removes all

frequency components above 2000Hz in the drive output volt￾age. Because SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 is already

free of low-order output harmonics, the result is a nearly

NXGPro ToolSuite

The NXGPro ToolSuite is a PC-based high-level Graphical User

Interface (GUI) application that integrates various software

tools used for NXGPro based drives. ToolSuite, equipped with

the Microsoft Windows Operating System, allows navigation

through a drive’s features by using a PC or by using a

touchscreen (instead of an operator panel) – allowing you to

monitor and control that drive’s functions quickly and easily.

The NXGPro Control and the PC running the NXGPro ToolSuite

software, interface with one another using Ethernet and TCP/

IP protocol. ToolSuite contains the following tools: Drive Tool,

Debug Tool, and SOP Utilities.

Configuration

• Multilevel password to limit access

- Passwords same as used in drive

• Folders for each drive configuration category (i.e., VFD

Menu system)

- Icon colors to indicate default and modified parameter

values

- On screen parameter identifier (matches operator panel

Drive tool

Its purpose is to manage all of the drive features and provide

the user with a user-friendly view of the drive.

The Drive Tool’s main features include:

Drive configuration

Drive variable graphing

Drive status (provides real time status of various

parameters, measured values, and calculations)

Debug tool

This application provides a remote graphical user interface

for Siemens medium-voltage SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY

GH180 NXGPro series drives. With the Debug Tool, the user

can examine drive variables using a PC in a simple and quick

manner. The debug utility is intended for use during test,

commissioning, and troubleshooting of the drive.

SOP utilities

The System Operating Program (SOP) is the logic that

maps the internal and external I/O into the functionality

of the drive. In its simplest form, it just maps internal states

to external points. In more complex forms, additional

complex logic, in the form of Boolean logic, as well as timers,

counters, and comparators, express the system functionality

to the drive.

The SOP Utilities is a group of utilities under the ToolSuite

umbrella program. It performs most of the functionality

on the PC running the ToolSuite, but has serial communica￾tions capability for uploading and downloading the System

Program directly to the drive via an RS485 interface between

the drive and the PC. The purpose of the SOP Utilities Tool is

to convert logic statements into a form of machine-recogniz￾able code that is run under the built-in drive SOP interpreter.

SinaSave

You can philosophize as much as you like about potential cost

saving – but the SinaSave software tool supplies the facts:

Based on characteristic plant values, SinaSave calculates the

possible cost-saving potential for the specific application. A

payback time is obtained from the monthly overall saving of

the application and the purchase and installation costs for the

motor or frequency drive. This payback time is frequently just

a few months.

Function

SinaSave is designed to select an energy-efficient motor for

line operation or a frequency drive for variable-speed and

therefore energy-saving operation.

For line operation, the tool can calculate the cost savings as

well as the payback time for Siemens energy-saving motors,

class IE2 or NEMA Premium using three comparison cases:

In comparison to IE1 or EPAct motors, individually selected

and known motors or in comparison to known motors when

investigating a complete plant.

For drive operation, SinaSave takes into account all of the

necessary plant or system-specific parameters as well as the

values required for the process; these include, for example,

the flow rate for pumps, the specific density of the medium

being transported and the efficiency of the fluid flow

machines of the complete plant. Additional basic data that

the program requires includes the number of working days

and work shifts as well as the pumping profile over a day

and a year, which are decisive for the energy-saving impact.

Using the plant-specific data, the program selects the

optimum drive system, calculates the price of a suitable

frequency drive and determines the energy requirements

of the variable-speed drive system when compared to all of

the alternative concepts that could be possibly considered.

In addition to high-efficiency motors (IE2), SinaSave also

includes low-voltage and medium-voltage frequency drives,

which are predestined for pump and fan application.

Further, the motor side has been supplemented by a new

feature that takes into consideration the mechanical system.

High-torque motors have also been recently integrated.

User-friendly functions such as an automatic update function,

an up-to-date currency table and improved functions (e.g.

sending pdfs by e-mail) round-off the functionality of this

energy-saving tool.

Mode of operation

Drive input protection

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 utilizes software func￾tions to detect abnormal conditions due to an internal drive

failure and thus provides protection to the drive. Below you

find a description of some routines that are implemented in

NXGPro control for drive protection.

Faults within the drive can be categorized into two types –

“low impedance” (with high current) and “high impedance”

(with low current) faults. A “low impedance” fault within the

drive or the secondary side of the transformer would result

in a significant reactive current on the primary side. The

“one cycle protection” (or excessive input reactive current

detection) is implemented to detect such types of faults. A

“high impedance” fault within the drive would result in low

current that is difficult to detect on the primary side of the

transformer but will result in measurable losses that can

be used to sense the condition. The “excessive drive losses

protection” allows the detection of such faults.

The level of currents detected by these functions cannot be

easily detected and may be insufficient to activate the main

primary protection. Hence the fault signals issued by these

routines should be used with suitable interlocking, via

a relay output and/or serial communication, to disconnect

medium-voltage from the drive input. 

One cycle protection 

(or excessive input reactive current detection)

NXGPro control utilizes the reactive component of the drive

input current to determine whether a “low impedance” fault

on the secondary side of the transformer has occurred. For

example, a short-circuit in one of the secondary windings

will result in poor power factor on the high-voltage side

of the transformer. A software model of the transformer is

used to predict the reactive component of primary current

based on the known load. The drive input reactive current

is continuously checked with the predicted value from the

model. An alarm trip is generated if the actual reactive cur￾rent exceeds the prediction by more than 10%. This check is

avoided during the first 0.25 seconds after medium voltage

power-up to avoid the inrush current from causing nuisance

trips.

In order to properly protect the drive system, the input con￾tactor / input circuit breaker shall be opened within 100 ms

of receiving an open / trip signal.

Control features

The following table provides a summary of the performance

offered by the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives

with NXGPro control.

Overview of control features

Feature Description

Output frequency 0 ... 330 Hz 1) ; above 167 Hz, and below 10 Hz, current derating is required

Modulation Multi-level PWM

Ride-through • Medium voltage ride-through: minimum 5 cycles (option for maximum of 30 cycles) • Control power (V) ride-through with UPS 2) minimum 5 cycles

Spinning load • Instantaneous mode: allows fast bypass

• Frequency scan mode: performed after residual motor voltage has collapsed

Induction motor control • V/Hz for parallel motors (VHz)

• Open-loop vector control for induction motors (OLVC)

• Closed-loop vector control for induction motors (CLVC)

Synchronous motor control • Open-loop vector control for synchronous motors (OSMC)

• Closed-loop vector control for synchronous motors (CSMC)

Emergency Stop category Emergency stop category 0 is set as standard for an uncontrolled shutdown. The function includes voltage

disconnection of the drive output by opening the circuit-breaker. Consequently the motor coasts down.

Energy saver Single parameter driven (for induction motors only)

Braking • Inverse speed (max. braking torque is approx. 0.25% at full speed and increases as speed is reduced)

 For additional braking options, contact factory.

Auto tuning Available for induction motors as long as the drive rating is higher than 67% of the motor

Advanced Cell Bypass

(option U11)

250 ms downtime with redundant cells; without redundant cells, the downtime depends on the

motor open circuit time constant. Not available in all apps such as ESPs or master-slave. Manual cell bypass

is recommended.

Synchronous transfer

(option L29)

Commonly referred to as “bumpless transfer”. Closed synchronous transfer available for induction and

synchronous motors. Closed or “bumpless” synchronous transfer allows the motor to be transferred to the

utility only after voltage and phase angles are synchronized, thus reducing stress on the motor & driven

system.

Voltage minimum boost Available on request; as an alternative, automatic stator resistance compensation is available

in OLVC/CLVC/OSMC/CSMC control modes (also see description for flux attentuation shaping)

Flux attenuation shaping Available on request; a simple (single parameter function) implementation is available

Control overview

1) Although 0 Hz can be produced by the drive, torque production is limited.

2) Uninterruptible Power Supply.

Note: For continuous power regeneration applications, please contact the factory or your local Siemens sales representatives for more details.

Mode of operation (continued)

Excessive drive losses protection

The excessive drive losses protection uses drive losses to

protect the drive against “high impedance” fault conditions.

The drive losses are calculated as the difference between the

measured input and output powers, and compared against

reference losses. Once the threshold is exceeded, a fault is

issued and the drive trips based on an inverse time curve.

During the idle state if the drive losses exceeds the idle

threshold by 1 to 2 % the control will issue a command to

open the input breaker within 250 ms. Such a fast response

will greatly reduce the adverse effect of a “high impedance”

fault on the drive system.

Note: Applications that require lower than 1% speed

operation under high load torque should use the CLVC

mode. In such cases it is preferable to select a motor that

has high full-load slip (> 1.0 %) and high breakdown torque.

Control overview

1) Torque response values are valid for drive without an output filter.

Tuning may be required to achieve these values.

2) Approx. 0.3 % speed error is typical. Worst-case speed error is equal to

approximately 30 % of rated motor slip.

3) 0.1 % can be achieved with a 1024 PPR encoder. Speed accuracy

depends on the encoder PPR.

4) Speed response numbers apply as long as torque limit is not reached.

5) Testing is required to determine exact value.

6) SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives when not operated in

overmodulation, will have torque pulsation amplitudes of less

than 1 % as listed in the above table. For a drive operating

in overmodulation, the torque pulsation is higher at the 6th

harmonic frequency (i.e. 6f component) which is introduced only

in the speed range of 95 to 100 % of rated. Torque pulsations at all

other frequencies are under 1 % of rated. Refer to pages 5/6, 5/7 for

more information on the cell voltage and drive output voltage ratings

that will operate with overmodulation.

Output voltage and current

1) Also see footnote 4) of the following table.

2) Although output dV/dt values are high, the control ensures that only one

cell switches at a particular instant. The magnitude of voltage cell switches

at a particular instant. The magnitude of voltage steps applied to the motor

are thus smaller than the rated voltage (and equal to the DC-bus voltage of

a single cell), which limits the stress on the insulation of the first few turns

(of the motor winding).

3) NEMA MG 1, Part 30, suggests that no motor derating is required when the

inverter voltage waveform has a HVF value that is less than 0.03. HVF is

defined as:

where, Vn is the harmonic amplitude in per-unit, and n is the harmonic

order (= ratio of harmonic frequency to fundamental frequency). All Perfect

Harmony configurations (with 9 cells or more) meet this requirement.

Therefore, heating due to switching harmonics is negligible and no motor

derating is needed.

4) Note: Although overmodulation is allowed with all 6RS4/6RS5 drives, only

those with this cell count and this rated output voltage will operate in

overmodulation in the 95 to 100 % speed range. Higher output voltage

and current harmonic components at 5th and 7th harmonic frequencies

will exist as reflected in the THD and torque pulsation values.

5) The output current distortion limit of 3 % is valid for drives with number

of cells ≥ 9 and no overmodulation. As the number of cells increases, the

current distortion decreases to below 2 % for 18 cell drives with a

typical motor.

6) Most motors have a leakage reactance that is greater than 16 %. Output

current distortion is inversely proportional to motor leakage reactance, i.e.

as motor leakage reactance decreases, output current distortion increases. HVF =

Function (continued)

Available drive power as a function of input voltage

Input under-voltage rollback

In the event that the input voltage falls below 90%, Figure

5-1 below illustrates the details of drive limitations. When

the input line voltage drops below 90% of its rated value, the

drive limits the amount of power (and hence the torque) that

can be delivered to the load. The maximum allowable drive

power as a function of line voltage is shown in Figure 5-1.

At 66% input voltage, the maximum drive power is limited

to 50% and is quickly reduced to a slightly negative value

(regen limit) at 65%. This limit forces the drive to absorb

power from the motor and maintain the (power cell) DC-bus

voltages in case the input voltage recovers during MV ride￾through. The limit is implemented as an inverse function of

speed in order to maintain constant power flow to the (cell)

DC-bus.

Figure 5.1 Drive power (Pmax) as a function of input voltage

magnitude (Erms)

Once the input voltage falls below 65%, the drive reduces

output power to a slightly negative value and maintains

synchronism with the motor for a period greater than five

cycles. Once input voltage is restored, the drive begins by

magnetizing the motor and then continues with torque

production. There is no delay in drive restart.

If input voltage is not restored after five cycles the drive

maintains synchronism with the motor as long as the power

cells can operate without input power or as long as there is

motor voltage (to synchronize to). Once operation of any

power cell stops or if motor voltage decays significantly, the

drive trips on a loss of input medium voltage.

Test stand solutions

Engineered solutions

Manufacturers and repair facilites use SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 drives to test prototypes or refurbished

motors and machinery to verify performance before releasing

equipment for production in industrial applications. SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives are used to eliminate the

need for multiple VFD sizes, gearboxes, multiple motors,

motor starters and generators.

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives protect the

prototype or customer test motor from being pushed too hard

and reduce the risk of mechanical or electrical component

failure. The drive allows for voltage, current and motor

frequency to be slowly increased or decreased, reducing the

potential of damaging the test motor or prototype machinery.

In high-starting torque applications, the mechanical system

requires 100% or more of the motor’s rated torque to

overcome the friction of the bearings and the load to begin

turning the motor. SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180

drives are ideal for this kind of application which includes

extruders, conveyors, semi-autogenous (SAG) mills, and

cement kilns because of their ability to generate high torque

in the motor at very low speeds including standstill. The

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive can produce

100% of rated current (or more) into the motor at the correct

frequency to maximize the starting torque. Furthermore, this

high output current at starting does not require significant

current from the utility source, so high starting torque does

not affect the utility voltage unlike other methods of motor

starting.

Induction motors can generate high starting torque if they are

properly controlled by the drive. This requires that the drive

supply 100% of motor rated current if 100% torque is needed.

The drive controls the frequency of this current so that rated

flux is developed, thereby maximizing the torque per amp of

stator current.

There are three sources of need for the starting torque. One

need is that the bearings and mechanical system have sliding

surface contacts which need a certain level of force sometimes

called starting friction or breakaway torque to break free from

the standstill state to allow rotation of the motor. After that

level (breakaway torque) is reached, and motion commences,

there is torque required to accelerate the moment of inertia of

the system. Finally, there is the sliding and rolling friction of

the load. After breakaway, the motor must continue to supply

the accelerating and frictional requirements of the load.

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives are used for

electrical submersible pump solutions due to the scalable

output voltage and ability to compensate for long cable

voltage drops. The output voltage waveform of a SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive has low harmonic content.

For cable lengths above 2.2 kilometers (7,500 ft.), an

output filter or output reactor customized for the specific

application is typically required to resolve cable reflected

waves and prevent motor insulation stress. The output filter

or reactor effectively removes frequency components above

2000 Hz in the drive output voltage. Because SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives are free of low-order

output harmonics, the result is a nearly perfect sinusoidal

output waveform.

For very long cable applications where large voltage drops

may occur, redundant ranks of power cells may be needed

to meet the output voltage requirement. Also Fast Cell

Bypass is not available, only manual cell bypass.

Starters for multiple motors (Synchronous Transfer) 

solutions

Engineered solutions

Bidirectional synchronized transfer offers automatic

synchronization with seamless transfer of the motor to the

line and take-over of the motor from the line.

In pipeline pump and compressor applications, multiple

pumps are operated in series hydraulically to attain the

desired head pressure. It is necessary to operate the

appropriate number of pumps to attain the desired pressure

in the pipeline. As more pumps are operating, more pressure

is added to the pipeline. If the pump-motor combination

was capable of operating at only a single speed, the pipeline

pressure requirements could not be met exactly.

An example of Mutliple Motor Applications is shown in

Figure 6-1. The drive accelerates motor M1 and synchronizes

the motor terminal voltage to the utility voltage with phase

relation, frequency and amplitude and then connects motor

M1 to the utility voltage using circuit breaker/contactor L1.

Afterwards, the drive is disconnected from the circuit with

circuit breaker/contactor V1. This provides soft start for the

motor to bring the motor up to full speed.

Motor M1 is connected in parallel to the line with the circuit

breaker/contactor L1 before the drive output-side circuit

breaker/contactor V1 opens. The opening and closing

times of the two circuit breaker/ contactors V1 and L1 are

approximately 100 ms.

Within this time period, the motor is transferred from the

drive output to the utility line power. This small time frame

allows for a bumpless transfer.

If motor M1 is to be transfered from the utility line power

and operated by the drive, the transfer process is performed

in reverse order. The circuit breaker/ contactor V1 is

closed, the drive synchronizes to the output voltage and

magnetization current and up to 25% torque is applied. At

this point, the circuit breaker/contactor L1 is opened and

motor M1 is operated by the drive. This technique provides

for minimum voltage and current transient when transferring

a motor from the utility line to the drive.

Synchronous transfers implemented by SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 drives do not produce high starting and

transient torques that could damage a drive- train or cause

pressure fluctuations in the production process. The utility

line circuit breaker/contactor should be configured to protect

the motor against over-current and over-voltage transients

during line operation.

A synchrounous transfer output reactor or transformer is

required for synchronous transfer to decouple the drive

output during the commutation process.

Multiple drive solutions

In certain motor applications, it is common to have more

than one motor connected to the load machine at different

points. Examples of these applications include lineshaft roller

conveyors and paper converting machinery. Two ways to

implement multiple SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180

drives are Parallel Control and Master-Slave Control.

Parallel control solution

Parallel Control uses a programmable logic controller as a

master controller that coordinates and monitors the operation

of two or more drives in parallel. Each drive knows the status

of the other drive including loss of load, status of bypass

operation and torque limit.

Engineered solutions

Figure 6-2 shows an example of SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 drives in parallel control solution.

Parallel Control offers the ability to operate multiple drives (up

to four) with a single three-phase induction or synchronous

motor or multi-phase induction or synchronous motor. Also,

parallel control provides the ability to operate one induction

motor per drive with multiple motors (up to four) coupled

together to a common motor shaft driving a common load or

a common conveyor belt.

Figure 6.3 Example of Master-Slave Control Solution with Mechanically Coupled Induction Motors

Master-Slave Control Solution

Master-Slave Control is used to allow two or more motors that

are mechanically coupled together to share loads equally. In

this application, one drive is designated as the master drive,

while one or more other drives are designated as slaves. Speed

regulation is performed in the master drive and the slave(s)

drives control the torque based on a remote torque command

from the master drive. Figure 6-3 shows an example of a

Master-Slave Control solution.

Master-Slave Control provides the ability to operate one

induction motor per drive, when multiple motors are coupled

to a common load or common conveyor belt or the ability to

operate two drives with a single three-phase synchronous

motor or multi-phase synchronous motor.

External Heat Exchanger Solutions

Drives with Heat Exchanger Solutions

At locations where indoor space is limited, SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 drives can be enclosed with prefabricated

modular power equipment centers. Self-contained power

equipment centers provide housing for electrical equipment

such as switchgear and medium voltage variable speed

drives for protection from the environment and to provide a

complete engineered solution.

When air-cooled SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives

are running in the power equipment center, heat is generated

by the drive and must be removed by external air-to-air heat

exchangers. Air is drawn through ventilation openings in the

bottom of the drive, or in the front depending on the product

line, then circulated through the transformer and power

cell sections and exhausted through the back of the drive

enclosure. The transformer section and power cell sections

require separate air-to-air heat exchangers.

The heated and cooled air is transferred to the heat exchanger

by duct work through the power equipment center exterior

wall. Warm air is cooled via the heat exchanger and circulated

back to the drive. This is a closed loop system with two air

flows in the heat exchanger; one for ambient air and one for

the drive air. 

The power equipment center room ambient temperature

should be between 41º F to 104º F (5º C to 40º C). If the room

temperature is expected to exceed 104º F (40º C), the drive

should be sized appropriately for room temperatures up to

122º F (50º C) to sufficiently cool the drive during operation. 

Heat exchanger units are rated for ambient temperatures from

32º F to 104º F (0º C to 40º C). If required, special units can be

rated down to -40º F (-40º C). Sometimes the conventional

HVAC units can be very large, this option can help reduce

the tonnage up to 50% and reduce the overall power

consumption.

With over 10,000 medium voltage variable speed drives

manufactured and shipped to job sites, SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY and Siemens Drives Technologies have the

knowledge and experience to deliver almost any complex

engineered solution.
