SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 benefits

Clean input power

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive:

• Meets the most stringent IEEE 519-2014 requirements for

voltage and current harmonic distortion, even if the source

capacity is no larger than the drive rating1):

– The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive is

supplied with a minimum 18-pulse input with versions

available up to 54-pulse input, resulting in less than

3 percent total voltage distortion and less than 3 percent

total current distortion. It eliminates the need for costly

and inefficient harmonic filters and the associated

resonance problems.

• Protects other online equipment from harmonic

interference (computers, telephones and other power

converters)

Sinusoidal output power (waveforms)

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive:

• Minimizes drive induced torque pulsations and associated

torsional analysis compared to other medium voltage

topologies, by using a motor friendly pulse width

modulation (PWM) output:

– Less than 1 % induced torque ripple for any given

frequency results in no motor heating and no bearing

wear

Note:

For certain motor voltages the torque ripple value can go

up to 3 %, but only at relative speeds above 95 %.

• Eliminates additional losses due to harmonics; thus, it can

be used with new or existing motors without de-rating:

– Depending on configuration generates 13 to 33 level

output waveform line to line

– Small output voltage steps produce no voltage spikes at

the motor which allows the use of a motor with standard

insulation

– No need for filters up to 7500 ft (2.3 km)

– Waveforms remain high quality at lower speeds due to

multi-level PWM output

1) IEEE 519-2014 compliance can only be guaranteed in networks

without prior disturbances or harmonics already present.

Maximized availability

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive:

• Remains operational in the event of a cell failure by using

the cell bypass option which bypasses the faulted cell

• Achieves near 100 percent reliability and 99.99 percent

availability, delivers greater productivity and a significantly

reduced total cost of ownership over the drive’s life cycle

• Offers a Process Tolerant Protection Strategy (ProToPS™).

ProToPS™ protects customer process from faulty sensors or

data. Unlike typical systems that simply trip the drive and

shut down the system due to a malfunction, it offers a

proactive control approach based on a hierarchical warning

system that allows the operator to evaluate the drive and

system condition and respond appropriately or initiate

controlled shutdown.

Extended reliability

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive with an

integrated transformer provides the following advantages:

• Protects drive semiconductors from line transients

• Completely protects the motor in case of a ground fault in

the converter, the motor cabling or insulation

Exceptional input line performance

Robust design provides immunity from most input power

disturbances and interruptions to insure protection of

customer equipment and trip free operation during most

common and frequent power quality issues:

• Best in class input voltage brownout conditions - no trip

down to 66 percent of nominal voltage. Output power is

reduced by limiting the available motor torque, drive can

operate continuously in this mode

• When the line voltage drops below 66 percent, it results in

"Ride Through Mode / Power Loss Ride Through" of up to

500 ms – 30 cycles @ 60 Hz and 25 cycles @ 50 Hz systems.

(Not available for 4Q drives.)

• Built-in input transformer with lightning arrestors to

provide protection from excessive peak voltage

Over 25 years of performance and more

than 21,000 units in operation exceeding

35 million kW installed power worldwide,

Siemens has only one goal in mind:

optimizing customer profitability

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 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 1.

Medium voltage levels are obtained by adding together the

outputs of multiple power cells. The power cells are simplified

variations of standard 2-level PWM low voltage drives, which

have been built in high volume for many years.

Figure 1: Topology of SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive

(3 cells per phase)

For higher output voltage capabilities, the SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 topology can be extended up to eight power

cells in series in each phase, with additional secondary

windings (number of secondaries equals number of power

cells) on the integral isolation transformer.

Transformer

Since the early 1990s, Siemens 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 are VPI dry-type, forced-air or water- cooled. They are

designed specifically for use with a particular SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive configuration and have 9 to

24 extended delta secondaries.

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 transformers are

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

standard. The transformer is an integral part of the drive that

cannot be specified or obtained externally to Siemens.

Proven IGBTs

Low voltage 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 availability of IGBTs give reliable, long-term,

lifecycle confidence.

Linked power cells

In the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180, power cells (see

Figure 2) are linked together in series to build the medium

voltage power output (see Figure 1) of the drive system. This

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: 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.

Through a redundant bypass control that is completely

separated from each power cell, SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 ensures automatic bypass of a failed power

cell in 250 ms. The mechanical cell bypass option is

implemented by providing a contactor at the output of each

cell. One of the many benefits of mechanical cell bypass

includes the ability to be tested during customer factory

acceptance test.

Since the cells in each phase 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 frequency (speed). With a power cell

or cells in bypass, the maximum speed the motor can operate

at may be reduced approximately in line with the reduced

voltage. The reduction in speed is somewhat load dependent.

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 Catalog D 17 11

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 3 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 3: 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 4 and

not suitable for operating a motor.

Figure 4: 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 5 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.

A better approach is illustrated in figure 6. This method takes

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

floating and is not connected to the ground. 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 (Siemens patented technology).

Figure 5: Drive output rebalanced by bypassing functional cells

In figure 6, 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 6: Drive output rebalanced by adjusting phase angles

(Neutral Shift)

The figure 7 below demonstrates the available output voltage

after one cell is bypassed based on number of cells in

configuration and bypass method used. For example,

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 (3 cells per phase) with

neutral point shift is capable to provide 83 % of output voltage

compared to below 70 % for the drive with the same number

of cell but without neutral point shift capability.

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 cell bypass evolution

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 has revolutionized

medium voltage power conversion. Perfect Harmony

multilevel topology was invented by Robicon (now Siemens) in

1994. Siemens continues to be the technology leader for

multilevel topology inverters and has over 50 unique patents

and 100 international patents filed around Perfect Harmony

topology. In 2017 Siemens began releasing its 5th generation of

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180. The complete 5th

generation air-cooled range was released in 2021.

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive continues to

set industry standards for reliability and innovation. Siemens

improves each generation in three key areas: increased

reliability and availability, increased efficiency, and a smaller

drive footprint. The innovation includes further improving cell

bypass technology: evolving from an electronic thyristor based

bypass (SCR) integrated to each cell to a mechanical bypass

totally independent of the cell.

Cell bypass evolution

In the original concept as implemented 25 years ago, each cell

contained a single phase rectifier bridge with a thyristor. The

AC inputs of this rectifier bridge were connected to the cell

output terminals. In the event of the failure bypass SCR is

shorted effectively disconnecting the cell from the input

power. Although this approach was effective under certain

failure conditions, it had several drawbacks:

• Since cell and bypass share fiber optic communication, if it

is lost, then the bypass can not be engaged because the

control can not activate cell bypass due to the failed

communications. Therefore, this bypass system is less

effective and less reliable.

• If there is any component failure in the cell such as IGBT,

gate drive, cell control board power supply that may lead to

bypass control malfunction resulting in the loss of the

bypass functionality.

• To protect cell from exposure to fault current bypass

circuitry had built-in fuse, that would automatically blow

when cell bypass is engaged. If it was a nuisance trip

customer could not automatically reset it which required a

new cell for replacement.

In 2000, to overcome these difficulties, bypass was changed to

an external mechanical contactor supplied from a completely

independent power source and controlled by a separate

control means. This contactor does not have to interrupt

current, so it doesn’t need arc control measures. The contactor

is a single pole double throw arrangement so that it can

disconnect the cell from the output string and apply a shorted

contact in place of the cell. With this bypass, the cells do not

have to function at all for bypass to work.

Advantages of the mechanical cell bypass

• The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 bypass is based

on traction DC contactor – proven and trusted technology!

• It does not matter which of the components has failed

within the cell. In fact, even a failure in the fiber optic link

that communicates to the cell can be detected and

bypassed. This approach protects against the failure of any

component in the power circuits or in the communications

circuits, rather than protecting the drive against power

semiconductor failure only.

• Mechanical bypass has separate communication with the

drive control and independent regulated power supply to

ensure maximum availability.

• In the instance of a nuisance trip customer can

automatically reset bypass and continue the operation.

• During the fault, drive control performs a quick check to

verify if the motor output voltage can be supported by the

functional cells before a cell is bypassed. This voltage can be

near the drive rated output voltage for a few seconds

before dropping over time. If a cell is bypassed too fast, the

Drive heat load management

During operation, every drive generates heat that needs to be

removed from the room to avoid equipment overheating. In

many installations, it is very common to use air-conditioning to

reduce the heat in the control room. The amount of heat

dissipated into the room by the drive depends on the drive

size, its running load, cooling method and efficiency. Other

equipment located in the same space may also have losses

requiring cooling.

The more heat rejected into the room, the higher operational

cost and total costs of ownership of the drive are. The drive

typical losses are 3.0 to 3.5 % of the motor rating when

operating at full load (losses reduce as load reduces). Aircooled drives usually dissipate heat directly into the room and

require additional measures to keep operating within the

manufacturer specified range; while water-cooled drives reject

most of the losses into the water, less than 5% of losses are

rejected into the room.

The difference in cooling requirements for installations where

heat rejected directly into the room could be 20 times higher

compared to solution where losses are ducted outside the

room. For example, 4000 Hp (3000 kW) drive losses in the

room are 96 kW while the same drive with ducted air outside

or heat exchanger (air-to-air or air-to-water), has only 4.8 kW

losses resulting in significant reduction in cooling

requirements. In this case heat losses in the room are similar

to water-cooled drive performance. In order to reduce the

requirement for air-conditioning of a control room, it is worth

evaluating various heat management options available for aircooled drives:

• The air can be ducted directly outside (options M64 or

M68)

• Air-to-air heat exchanger (option W41)

• Liquid-to-air heat exchanger

Each approach has its own advantages and limitations and

each case should be evaluated based on customer application,

site conditions, availability of water, etc. Below are highlights

of each option.

Ducting hot air outside is one of the most economical

implementations but it does require upfront engineering from

a customer. Engineering is required to design proper air flow in

the room to avoid creating a vacuum or wind tunnel effect in

the room. The air can be drawn either from outside with

proper filtration to meet drive installation requirements or in

some cases, HVAC is capable of supporting the necessary

airflow. It is critical to design the solution properly to prevent

unnecessary trips due to lack of air. The regular maintenance

of outside filters is required to ensure that no contaminates

get into the drive.

Utilization of heat exchangers creates close loop cooling

systems. In close loop systems air is drawn through ventilation

openings at the bottom or the front of the drive, depending on

the product line, then circulated through the transformer and

power cell sections and exhausted through the back of the

drive enclosure. Warm air is cooled via the heat exchanger and

circulated back to the drive. The hot and cooled air is

transferred to the heat exchanger by duct work through the

control room or power distribution center exterior wall. In case

of liquid-to-air heat exchangers, heat is removed from the hot

air and transferred to the customers' water system.

There are two possible ways to implement this configuration

the first one is similar to air-to-air heat exchanger set up where

heat exchanger itself located outside and the hot air from the

drive ducted. The second one is when the VFD blower cage

assembly is replaced with the heat exchanger assembly. This

solution does not require ducting work done to the building

thus reducing additional engineering effort.

The heat exchanger option (either air-to-air or air-to-water) is

a self-contained solution that does not require additional

engineering on the customer's behalf. Compared to open loop

systems, this solution provides higher degree of contamination

protection due to the two separate airflow design, which keeps

dirt, moisture, and other elements from getting into the

equipment.

Heat exchangers might require higher initial investment

compared to open loop system or HVAC solution, it typically

has the lowest total cost of ownership compared to traditional

HVAC and a pay back of 2 to 3 years depending on size of the

drive or solution saving operators cost of electricity for the

next 17 years of the drive life.

Figure 8 Installation with air-to-air heat exchangers and two drives in

the building

Not only this solution reduces overall cost of drive operation,

the heat exchanger is also about 5 to 10 % more reliable

compared to industrial redundant HVAC systems and about 20

to 30 % more reliable compared to commercial HVAC systems.

This reliability improvement is due to fewer components in the

heat exchanger compared to HVAC system which consists of

compressors, fans, belts, valves, etc. The above figures are

based on the data collected by our field support team over

past 10 years.

The air-to-air heat exchanger solution has built-in fan

redundancy and comes complete with heat exchanger

controls. It is rated for ambient temperatures from 32º F to

104º F (0º C to 40º C). When required, they can be equipped

with options to meet –40º F (–40º C) including space heaters,

louvers and snow hoods for cold environments.

Bidirectional synchronous transfer

There are two primary applications that require synchronous

transfer:

• The first one is a drive used as a soft-starter to reduce

stress from starting motors directly on line.

• The second one is used for process/flow control: starting up

multiple motors and synchronizing them to the line

according to process specifications.

The key difference between these applications is sizing of the

drive. When variable frequency drive (VFD) is used to start

the motor in an unloaded condition, the VFD does not have

to match the full rating of the motor. For example, a

20,000HP motor may be started by a 5000HP VFD if the drive

output can provide sufficient output current and develop

enough motor torque to accelerate the motor up to full

speed. In this instance, the VFD is at full power only for a very

short period of time. The drive transfers a motor across the

line after the motor is at full speed. In all cases the motor is

started in either unloaded or partially loaded condition.

The drive is often used in this application when incoming line

is soft and cannot support the inrush current of the motor

during starting. Sometimes, the incoming line is even too

weak to support a reduced-voltage start even though inrush

current is less it is still about 250% to 300% of the motor full

load current rating. Starting motors with VFDs have the

following benefits:

• Multiple starts per day

• Draws minimal inrush currents while starting, minimizing

voltage drop and system electrical stress

• Reduces mechanical shock (starting torque is controlled at

nominal levels)

For such applications the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY

GH180 has a function for single motor synchronous transfer

option (L29) that does not require any PLC, it is done by the

drive’s control and in most cases without need for an output

reactor.

For the second option, the drive is sized to run the motor full

time. In a pumping station, the demand can change

significantly within a day for the water and wastewater

industry and seasonally for oil pipelines. One variable

frequency drive can be used in combination with multiple

motors to adjust the flow to meet the demand. In this case,

the last pump is always run by VFD for flow and pressure

control.

Siemens can design your sync transfer system to suit your

application. With standard, pre-configured systems that

utilize our best-in-class VFD and motor control products,

Siemens can provide a full spectrum of standard and flexible

options.

Once the sync transfer system has been completely

assembled, Siemens performs full power testing to ensure

seamless integration and operation. Components are

assembled and tested. The Sync Transfer Control System

(STC) supports transfer of two to eight motors directly to or

from a line source of power. The system is designed to handle

induction motors or synchronous motors and connection of

motors to a source the same as the drive or to an alternate

source.

Figure 9: Switchgear and reactor lineup for 3 motor synchronous

transfer application (for drive manufactured in the USA only)

Optimized synchronous transfer

The traditional synchronous transfer option uses output

reactor for a bump-less closed transfer (figure 10).

Connecting voltage source VFDs to a motor in parallel to the

line (closed transfer) can result in excessive currents. The

solution used to prevent such excessive currents has always

been to add a reactor between the VFD output and the

motor.

Figure 10: Typical multi-motor synchronous transfer application with

reactor

The advantage of this implementation is the ability to operate

for periods of time in parallel with the line. This makes the

transfer from the line to the VFD as smooth as possible. The

limitation of this solution is higher initial capital cost, increase

of the losses within the drive system and reduced output

voltage capability of the drive system. While the losses and

voltage drop are negligible with regards to motor operation,

the reactor losses require additional cooling. The cooling of

these losses is either can be done by placing the reactor

outside or increasing the HVAC capability of the cooling

system. Regardless, the capital cost of including a reactor is

considerable.

Due to increases in drive control processing power

synchronous transfer can be optimized to eliminate the use of

an output reactor. This optimized synchronous transfer can be

applied to most motor drive applications.

Figure 11: Optimized multi-motor synchronous transfer

The benefit of this approach is the ability to remove the

reactor between the VFD and the motor, and the associated

motor line contactor feedback to the SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 VFD. Synchronous transfer of the motor to

the line remains as a closed bump-less transfer.

The optimized synchronous transfer does differ during "down"

transfer. When the motor is transferred from the line back to

VFD while it is still closed transfer, it will result in a step torque

change to the motor but it has minimal impact on process.

The magnitude of this step change is limited to the allowable

torque.

Optimized synchronous transfer of motor to line

(up transfer)

Optimized synchronous transfer operates in the same manner

as the traditional GH180 transfer operation with regards to

"up" transfer so the same operational logic and application

methods apply. The graph below shows the motor operation

during an "up" transfer:

• The magenta waveform is the voltage magnitude as seen by

the motor.

• The blue waveform is the output voltage of the VFD.

• The green waveform is motor current

• The red waveform is the control voltage for the VFD’s

output contactor

Figure 12: Optimized synchronous up transfer

As shown in the graph, there is no observable change in motor

voltage or current. This means that there is no meaningful

change in motor torque during an "up" transfer, and it is

synchronized with the line phase and frequency.

Optimized synchronous transfer of motor to the VFD

(down transfer)

Optimized synchronous transfer of the motor to the VFD

operates almost identically to the traditional SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 "down" transfer method. All

existing logic which was used previously can be applied to the

optimized synchronous transfer.

The VFD output is connected in parallel with the motor. When

the VFD senses the voltage on the output, it synchronizes with

this voltage. Once synchronized, the VFD signals to open the

motor’s line contactor. Once the motor’s line contactor opens,

the VFD starts operation without waiting for the line contactor

open signal.

The chart below is a capture of an optimized synchronous

"down" transfer:

• The magenta waveform is the motor voltage magnitude

• The red waveform is the VFD output current

• The blue waveform is VFD/Motor voltage

Figure 13: Optimized synchronous down transfer

The graph shows negligible effect of the zero torque state.

During the time between the opening of the motor’s line

contactor and the VFD starts operating the torque of the

motor will be zero. During "down" transfer the SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 uses sophisticated sensing to

determine the state of the line contactor. This sensing will

adapt automatically to the application. This approach prevents

timing issues and greatly reduces the process impact caused by

the brief zero torque state.

Additional considerations

There are a few rare cases that require additional analysis

before using optimized synchronous transfer solution:

• excessive system short circuit current ratings:

– for smaller drives (40 to 70 A), the short circuit current at

the drive’s input should not excessed 35 kA,

– the short circuit current should not exceed 200 times of

the drive’s rated output current.

– In these cases, a 1 % reactor is required.

• excessive torque variations during steady state operation,

and

• extremely low motor/load inertia, for example electrical

submersible pump application.

If your site or load falls into this category, the optimized

synchronous transfer may be modified to fit your application.

If this is not possible, the traditional synchronous transfer

remains available to ensure all applications have the

opportunity to use synchronous transfer for bypass operation.

Summary

The optimized synchronous transfer system allows for bypass

operation without the need for an output reactor.

• Optimized and traditional synchronous "up" transfers are

equivalent with no interruption of motor torque.

• Optimized synchronous transfer has a brief torque

interruption during "down" transfer operation -

interruption is kept brief by an adaptive algorithm which

senses contactor status via motor behavior

When selecting the synchronous transfer option, Siemens

recommends that customers install motor protection relay

(MPR). Once the motor is transferred directly on line, it is no

longer protected by the VFD. In case of the multi motor

synchronous transfer option (N18), Siemens integrates an MPR

with associated CTs and PTs into the switchgear line-up. If

switchgear is supplied by the customer (L20), it is customer

responsibility to install the MPR.

For both options, Siemens provides a synchronous transfer

controller with predefined and tested logic up to 8 motors and

built-in HMI for display. The controller can be installed as a

part of the line-up or separate in a control room depending on

customer requirements. Siemens solution is the most flexible

and provides support for the customers’ selection of

switchgear and motor protection relay to ensure the best fit

for their site and application.

Electrical Submersible Pump Application

Approximately 90% of all oil wells require some form of

artificial lift to improve oil flow. Electrical Submersible Pump

(ESP) is one of several methods used in the industry. Once the

oil reservoir stops producing oil under free flow, electrical

submersible pumps are used to pump the oil to the surface.

Historically, low voltage drives have dominated in ESP

applications, but recently more and more end-users are

considering and using medium voltage drives. An ESP is a

centrifugal pump that is driven by a medium voltage electric

motor that ranges from 1000 V to 6600 V.

More often than not, ESPs are installed in remote locations.

The power is more susceptible to disruptions from outages,

poor voltage regulation, and transient voltage conditions. The

design, operational and site constraints make these motors

sensitive to the following conditions:

• Input line overvoltage and transient spikes

• High inrush torques

• High dv/dt

• Torque pulsations

One of the most common ESP motor and cable failures is

short-circuited motors and cables. The reason for short circuit

events is insulation break down. The LV drive solution, if not

properly selected and engineered, may produce high output

voltage spikes that lead to insulation break down of both cable

and motor. The ESP failures have a very high cost. The total

cost to an end-user of one ESP failure is about $154K. Below is

the breakdown of the average cost associated with the

onshore ESP operation:

• Average loss of revenue $60x200x7=$84K based on:

– Price per barrel - $60 (can be as high as $100 depends on

market conditions); average oil production per well: 200

bopd (barrels of oil per day) and average workover &

waiting time: 7 days

– Average intervention cost is $20K (maybe higher

depending on a cost and availability of a rig) and average

equipment cost of $50K

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 provides the best

solution for this application. Siemens has over 1000 units

installed globally in this application alone. It offers inherent

almost sinusoidal output voltage waveform, low harmonics

and negligible torque pulsations:

• Less than 1% VFD induced torque ripple for any given

frequency: no motor heating and no bearing wear

• 13 level output waveform line to line and small output

voltage steps (1.3kV): no voltage spikes at the motor

• No need for filters up to 7500ft (2.3km)

• Waveforms remain high quality at lower speeds

Figure 14: Output waveform

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 input configuration

waveform:

• Meets the most stringent requirements for voltage and

current harmonic distortion, even if the source capacity is

no larger than the drive rating

• Less than 3 % total voltage distortion

• Less than 3 % total current distortion

Figure 15: GH180 input waveform (9-cell, 54-pulse)

In addition, the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 provides

the following benefits compared to a LV solution:

• No step-up transformer needed, the drive has direct

feedback from the motor – output voltage ranging from

1.8 kV up to 6.6 kV.

• No restriction on starting torque – 100 % of torque is

available at 1.6 Hz speed – this would significantly reduce

motor stress compared to kick start of LV drive.

• When pump gets stuck due to sediment collection, the

drive can produce 150 % of rated torque required to free

the motor or if additional effort is needed drive can engage

"rocking" function to free the pump.

• In locations that have frequent lightning storms, the drive

offers standard distribution arrestors to provide protection

to drive, cables and motor.

• Flexibility with simplified and optimized input voltages from

480 V up to 13.8 kV (higher input voltages on request).

Torque during ride-through

ESP applications typically operate in regions where momentary

power interruptions occur. These momentary power

interruptions cause a loss of input power feeding the drive.

The drive will respond by entering a mode called ride-through.

The VFD performance during the voltage sag tolerance and

ride-through of momentary power loss depend on the amount

of capacitance available in the DC link. The tolerance level

varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and ranges from

90% to 75% of nominal input voltage.

At full speed, the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180

provides regular operation for dips down to 90% of nominal

voltage. After that the drive output power is rolled-back

linearly from 100% power at 90% of input voltage down to 50%

power at 66% of nominal input voltage. Output power is

reduced by limiting the available motor torque. The VFD can

operate continuously in this mode. When the input voltage

falls below 66%, then the power is quickly reduced to a slightly

negative value (regenerative limit) (figure16). This limit forces

the drive to absorb power from the motor and maintain the DC

bus voltages in case the input voltage recovers during MV ridethrough.

This typical ride-through action is the most effective drive

response for most applications. However, some applications

with very low system inertia and high loads are willing to

sacrifice ride-through duration to maintain enough torque to

prevent stopping the process.

Figure 16: GH180 torque during input voltage sag and ride-through

ESPs have low system inertia and a high load. Losing torque,

even for a short time, will cause the flow to stop and reverse

direction. At this point, one must wait for the column of fluid

to drain back through the pump and sediment to settle before

restarting the pump. Once started, one must refill the column

of fluid before production is restored. This all wastes energy

and time resulting in less revenue.

Given the cost of time and energy to restore production in ESP

applications, it is more important to maintain the process

through application of torque during a short power

interruption than the ability to instantly reapply torque after

an extended power interruption.

Solution

For applications such as ESPs, SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY

GH180 drives implement a scheme which allows to maintain

some torque for a short time during ride-through. The power

for this torque is the power stored within the DC filter banks of

the power cells.

During ride-through, drive will provide torque to hold a preset

speed for up to 100 milliseconds (5 cycles). After this period,

the drive returns to the original ride-through algorithm where

a slight regenerative torque is applied, and motor flux is

maintained until DC power is exhausted or line voltage returns.

Figure 17: Typical pump speed response during extended torque ridethrough

Summary

Extended torque ride through uses the energy stored in the DC

filter capacitors to extend the torque available from the drive

when a brief power interruption occurs. The benefits are:

• Enough torque is supplied to maintain minimum flow to

prevent pump cavitation

• No reverse flow following momentary power outages

• No waiting for the column of fluid to drain sediment to

settle before restarting

• No wasted energy refilling the column of fluid before

production begins

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 54-pulse solution

IEEE 519-2014, "Recommended Practices and Requirements

for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems", is the

standard for input harmonics in North America. It

recommends limits for individual harmonics and total

distortion. The goal is to limit harmonics at Point on a Public

Power Supply System Coupling (Point of Common Coupling),

defined as the utility/customer connection point, focusing on

current distortion limits for the user and on voltage distortion

limits for the supplying utility.

The primary reason for harmonic distortion is non-linear

loads including but not limited to VFD. Such loads draw nonsinusoidal currents from the power supply which, in turn,

causes distortion in the voltage waveform at the point-ofcommon coupling. This distortion may impact other

customers by reducing system efficiency or adding additional

stress for equipment connected to the same power supply.

Siemens traditional implementation has a proven record that

the performance of an 18-pulse drive is within the limits of

IEEE 519. Typically, a VFD with 9 cell configuration lowers

harmonic distortion at its input by phase shifting its

transformer windings. The windings (one per each phase) are

shifted 20° apart to achieve 18 pulse. As shown in Figure 18,

with an 18-pulse VFD input, the current THD is 3.5% — well

below the 5% limit set forth by IEEE 519. Telephone

Interference Factor (TIF) is 114.

Figure 18: Input current harmonics with an 18-pulse VFD

As Siemens continue to improve performance of the

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180, we further reduce

input harmonics with the same number of windings. Siemens

new standard solution is 54-pulse 9-cell configuration. Each

cell in SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 has 6 pulse

rectifier that in the past was shifted in the group of three (see

figure 19). In the new configuration each individual cell

winding is shifted 6.6° apart (see figure 19) to achieve 54

pulse rectification without additional hardware and does not

affect the drive footprint. The new design offers more than

15 % improvement in current distortion and more than 30 %

in TIF compared to 18-pulse configuration.

Figure 19: Example of transformer winding phase shifting

Example of harmonic spectrum of 54 pulse is represented in

Figure 20, the data show THD of the current is 2.9 % and the

TIF is 77.

Figure 20: Input current harmonics with an 54-pulse VFD

IEEE 519-2014 defines levels for Total Current Demand

Distortion (TDD(I)). Most manufacturers measure and show

cumulative amount of harmonic distortion or Total Harmonic

Current Distortion (THD(I)). IEEE requires distortion measured

at 100% load, at this point THD(I) equals to TDD(I). The

improvement in current waveforms is shown in Figure 21.

Figure 21: Input line current waveforms

An additional benefit of 54-pulse solution compared to 18-

and 24-pulse configurations is cancellation of higher order of

harmonics. Typical harmonic cancelation based on number of

pulses:

18-pulse: 5, 7, 11, and 13

24-pulse: 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19

54-pulse: 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31…, 47 and 49

The harmonics measurements mentioned in this discussion

are based on ideal steady state operation of the drive and

assuming the power supply network is symmetrical and free

from harmonics. In real world conditions, the supply

networks or connected equipment never follow the ideal

environment and therefore, the actual measured harmonics

would not be exactly as calculated or simulated. Our

theoretical analysis and simulations for 54 pulse design were

completed and verified by actual field testing and data.

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 water-cooled drive

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 water-cooled drives

are designed to provide output power from 4,000 HP to

33,000 HP (3 to 24.6 MW) in a single channel and output

voltages from 3.3 kV to 11.0 kV. The GH180 water-cooled

drives are approved for manufacturing only from the USA

(New Kensington) location.

To support critical high power applications, Siemens

redesigned its SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 watercooled drive to be 20 % more compact and more powerful

with cell current rating of 1375 A. The streamlined design

offers the same proven reliability and performance as before,

but within a smaller footprint and additional configuration

flexibility that makes it even more versatile.

The result is a simplified system that’s composed solely of a

transformer cabinet, cell cabinet and cooling cabinet. There’s

less programming needed, and fewer components with fewer

connections means maintenance time is minimized, too.

Reliability is improved by reducing the number of threaded

fittings on the water-cooled VFDs and replacing long hoses

with copper pipe. Every aspect of the drive is optimized to fit

small spaces while remaining compatible with — and

delivering superior reliability to — virtually every application.

Built-in safety

The inherent benefit of the distributed power structure of the

PERFECT HARMONY multi cell topology results in significantly

reduced fault energy stored in the inverter section (equivalent

of the low voltage drive) as compared to other available

technologies. To provide additional protection, every

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 water-cooled drive

includes the Arc Detection System as a standard feature in

power cells since its design in 2006.

The inverter section consists of cells equipped with arc

detection sensors and the control to communicate with the

drive system. This communication is supported by the

Advanced Protocol software. In the rare event of cell arcing,

the Advanced Protocol will initiate the shutdown of the

inverter within 20ms and the drive control will issue a trip

signal to an external breaker.

When combined with suitable fast acting circuit breakers on

the input and output circuits, the SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 VFD can be effectively disconnected from

the input line and the motor in a short duration.

Recommended total opening time of the circuit breaker must

not exceed 80. The drive monitors the total opening time.

The purpose of Arc-Fault Detection is to minimize the impact

of the arc by reducing the time needed to trip the circuit

breaker and interrupt the fault.

Advanced cooling cabinet option

Customers that require high level of monitoring and

redundancy will benefit from advanced cooling cabinet option

(W32). This option offers a larger cabinet to provide easier

access to components and for easier maintenance. To support

maintenance, the cabinet has a built-in hoist and rail system

for changing the pumps. The pumps are equipped with two

low-voltage variable speed drives for better motor control of

the pumps which, in turn, increases the reliability, efficiency

and life of the pumps. Automatic switchover between pumps

will occur in the event of one of the pumps failure or loss of

flow. The customer has the freedom to program pump cycling

based on their system requirements. The advanced cabinet

supports both air-to-water and liquid-to-liquid heat

exchangers.

There are several signals available for remote monitoring

through customer SCADA or plant HMI to provide timely

feedback on performance of the entire cooling system

including external heat exchanger. Increased monitoring

allows for advanced indication of coolant system issues

before the drive control issues an alarm or trip. These signals

include:

• water level

• flow

• conductivity

• pressure and temperature

• In addition to pump status, pump VFD status is also

available for remote monitoring

• individual fan monitoring/status of the external liquid-to-air

heat exchanger.

Option descriptions

Availability options

Cell redundancy

Processes that cannot tolerate a reduction in drive power

when one or more cells are in bypass should select the cell

redundancy option. This option significantly increases drive

availability when long intervals between services are required.

This option is scalable depending on your process

requirements. Cell Redundancy options require cell bypass.

Option Description

U13 One redundant cell per phase (for air cooling only)

Option U13 provides full output power with a bypassed

cell in each phase. This option adds extra three cells to

the drive (i.e. one cell per phase).

Note: Option U13 requires cell bypass (U11) and redundant

blower (M61).

Not available for output voltages 6.6, 6.9, 7.2, 11 kV.

U21 N+1 cell redundancy (for water cooling only)

Option U21 provides rated power operation with one

cell bypassed.

Note: Option U21 requires cell bypass option (U11) and

redundant pump. Not available with all output

voltages. For details, please contact your Siemens sales

partner.

U22 N+2 cell redundancy (for water cooling only)

Option U22 provides rated power operation with two

cells bypassed.

Note: Option U22 requires cell bypass option (U11) and

redundant pump. Not available with all output voltages.

For details, please contact your Siemens sales partner.

Option Description

U11 Advanced cell bypass

Cell bypass provides a higher level of system

availability and process reliability. In less than a

quarter of a second (250 ms), the drive can bypass

failed cells and maintain a balanced output voltage.

With one cell in bypass, the drive still produces

sufficient voltage to allow the process to continue

uninterrupted, and the quality of the voltage and the

waveform remain virtually unchanged.

To ensure the most reliability and availability, the VFD

is equipped with mechanical cell bypass with

independent power supply and control

communication. This cell bypass can be tested and

demonstrated during witness testing.

Loss of cells reduces the drive’s power capability;

torque is reduced only when the drive’s power

capability exceeds the designed limit. Faulted cells

can be replaced at a convenient planned maintenance

window.

For some applications with low load inertia, such as

an ESP, during the cell bypass the speed may rapidly

decelerate. In such applications where a process trip

may be issued by the system control, use of manual

cell bypass is recommended.

Manual cell bypass is configured in the drive

operating system. When a cell fault occurs, the drive

will trip on the cell fault. The user can reset the fault,

which triggers a cell bypass, and can then proceed to

re-start the drive. The reset can be done through

plant HMI or SCADA.

Option Description

U10 Process Tolerant Protection Strategy - ProToPS™

With a proven record of 99.99 percent process uptime,

ProToPS™ protects the customer process from faulty

sensors or data. ProToPS™ offers a proactive control

strategy for applications where failure avoidance is

critical. It provides a hierarchical system of warnings in

advance of potential drive system trip. This control

strategy allows time for the operator to evaluate the

situation and respond appropriately to avoid a system

shutdown.

This option requires advanced cell bypass (option U11)

and redundant blower (option M61) for maximum

performance.

Option Description

M61 Redundant blower

To improve system availability, an additional blower is

added to the air-cooled drive. If a blower fails, the

cooling system is automatic switched over to

redundant blower to ensure uninterrupted drive

operation. A fan alarm fault will be annunciated. This

prevents production down time or disruptions.

Option Description

L53 UPS for power supply of the control

In the instances where UPS back up for low voltage

network is not available on site, the drive can be

equipped with a UPS to maximize up time during low

voltage power interruptions. The UPS provides back

up power for the drive control and is configured for a

buffer time of up to 8 min.

Note: Option L53 is available for 120 V or 220 V AC only.

Option Description

L85 Redundant control power (for water cooling only)

This option provides a second low voltage network

control input with automatic switch over to prevent

unnecessary interruptions and down time in case the

first low voltage supply fails. This option includes UPS.

Note: Option L85 is available for water-cooled drives only and

requires an additional cabinet.

Safety options

Option Description

K86 Safe Torque Off (STO)

The option K86 provides an efficient electronically

based "Safe Torque Off" (STO) sub function which can

be easily integrated into a completed machine's Safe

Torque Off safety function.

The safety related STO function is a mechanism for

preventing the drive from unexpectedly starting

according to EN 60204-1:2006/A1:2009, Section 5.4.

The function is integrated in the drive and is

independent of the converter operating functions. It

is used in conjunction with a machine function – or in

the case of a fault – to disconnect the torquegenerating energy feed to the motor in a safetyrelated fashion.

There are two independent switch-off signal paths,

which are both failsafe (low-active). This ensures that

when a component fails or a cable is interrupted, the

system always goes into the safe state.

The following points apply when the STO function is

selected:

• The motor cannot inadvertently start.

• The torque-generating energy feed to the motor is

safely interrupted because of the safety-related pulse

cancellation.

• VFD output is not electrically disconnected.

The STO function is certified in accordance with

IEC 61800-5-2 with a safety integrity level (SIL) of up

to 3 with a hardware fault tolerance (HFT) of 1 as

defined in IEC 61508. STO meets EN ISO 13849-1:2015

Safety Category 3 Performance Level e.

Option Description

A76 System arc detection

To provide additional protection, the SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 IQ drive has the arc

detection system option. Optical arc flash detection

sensors are located in each power cell and transformer

cabinet. In the rare arc fault event, the signal will be

sent directly to the upstream protection device and

the drive will de-energize as quickly as possible.

Option Description

M57 Arc resistant design 40 A to 430 A

Arc resistant option is designed to help minimize the

risks associated with an arcing fault and provides

increased protection of customers' personnel and

equipment.

Door interlocks

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180, 6SR5 drives are

designed with bolted covers as a standard option. For

customers that would like to have keyed access, there are

4 types of mechanical interlocks available depending on

customer preference. Safety closing/interlocking system is

based on the key transfer system.

Typically, the circuit breaker is opened, and a feeder earthed

to release a key to the drive key exchange unit which in turn

releases the keys to the cabinet bolted covers of the power

section(s). This ensures that the drive is isolated from the

input medium voltage and that the medium voltage is no

longer present. The number of keys will depend on the

number of cabinets.

Option Description

M08 Superior - mechanical door interlocks

M09 Kirk - mechanical door interlocks

M10 Castell - mechanical door interlocks

M38 Fortress - mechanical door interlocks

M46 INDAC - mechanical door interlocks

M12 Electrical door interlocks

The electrical door interlock system prevents access to

the energized sections in the drive as long as

hazardous voltages are present. This system also

prevents the drive from being switched on until all

doors of the energized sections in the drive are closed.

Note: GH180 air-cooled as a default is supplied with M09,

Kirk key interlocks in North America or M12 electrical

door interlocks in Europe and China.

Option Description

N10 Prepared for input contactor

Input contactor allows customers to isolate medium

voltage drive for maintenance or repairs purposes

without disconnecting primary protection. This option

is recommended when multiple medium voltage drives

are installed at the single site connected to common

upstream protection. The benefit of an input contactor

is that it is capable to break full current while input

disconnect only can be opened after primary

protection is opened.

Selecting this option will add switchgear to the drive

on the side. When option N10 is chosen, the

appropriate switchgear sizing is automatically selected

based on the other drive parameters.

Note: The input contactor option is available when the

primary input voltage is less than 7.2 kV.

Option Description

N13 Prepared for input circuit breaker

Input contactors are only available for input voltage up

to 7200V. When input voltage exceeds this, a circuit

breaker is an appropriate solution.

Selecting this option will add switchgear to the drive on

the side. When option N13 is chosen, the appropriate

switchgear sizing is automatically selected based on

the other drive parameters.

Option Description

N94 Grounding studs

This option provides protective grounds to create an

electrically safe work condition during maintenance.

The ground studs will be installed in the following

locations: Input and output power terminations and

ground pads. The terminations will be equipped with a

ball type ground stud.

Note: Grounding cable and/or clamps are not included

Option Description

N44 Make-proof grounding switch at drive input

With option N44, a grounding switch is installed at the

drive input. The switch connects each phase to ground

to prevent unexpected reconnections during

maintenance.

For safety reasons, the drive control locks the ground

switch open (OFF) using electromagnetic interlocks

until the drive input voltage is removed (OFF) and

10 min have passed to allow the power cell capacitors

to discharge; only then can the ground switch be

closed (ON). The control is integrated into the

protection and monitoring circuit of the drive.

In the event of maintenance work on the drive, it must

be ensured on the plant side that there is no external

voltage present, e.g. auxiliary voltage for blowers, the

cooling system, controller and closed-loop control and

any external drive outputs.

Note: This option for 9 cell air-cooled configuration requires

an additional cabinet

Option Description

N45 Make-proof grounding switch at drive output

With option N45, a grounding switch is installed at the

drive output. Some applications (ex: gas turbines or

permanent magnet motor) may regenerate and feed

energy back to the drive. In such instances, a makeproof grounding switch is recommended. The switch

connects each phase to ground to prevent unexpected

voltage during maintenance.

For safety reasons, the drive control locks the ground

switch open (OFF) using electromagnetic interlocks

until the drive input voltage is removed (OFF) and

10 min have passed to allow the power cell capacitors

to discharge; only then can the ground switch be

closed (ON). The control is integrated into the

protection and monitoring circuit of the drive.

Note: This option for 9 cell air-cooled configuration requires

an additional cabinet

Options N44 and/or N45 are recommended for

applications within Europe.

Synchronous transfer options

Option Description

L29 Bidirectional synchronized transfer

Option L29 provides the capability for synchronized,

seamless transfer of the one motor to the line and takeover of the motor from the line. Before connecting the

motor to the line, the converter synchronizes the motor

to the supply/utility voltage phase, frequency and

amplitude. Most applications do not require output

reactor.

Output reactor should be considered when the

following conditions are present:

• Excessive system short circuit current ratings

• Excessive torque variations during steady state

operation, and

• Extremely low motor/load inertia

Note: The circuit-breakers/contactors are not included in the

scope of delivery. A motor protection relay should also

be considered in the bypass circuit by the customer.

Option Description

N17 Bidirectional synchronized transfer of one motor,

switchgear provided by Siemens

Selecting this option, in addition to synchronous transfer

control function, it will add switchgear to the drive

lineup. The appropriate switchgear is selected and

sized automatically based on the drive parameters.

Note: Reactor-less bidirectional synchronized transfer is

output reactor may be required for bidirectional

synchronized transfer. The output reactor decouples

the converter output during the transfer process.

For air-cooled drives the output reactor cabinet can

be ether included in the drive lineup with the same

degree of protection as the drive or housed in a

separate NEMA 3R/IP14 cabinet designed for outdoor

installation.

For water-cooled units, the water-cooled reactor

cabinet will be included in the drive lineup with IP

protection same as power section of the drive.

Option Description

Option Description

L20 Bidirectional synchronized transfer of multiple

motors, switchgear provided by customer

In the cases where the customer either has already

all required switchgear or prefers to procure their

own equipment, Siemens offers just the Sync Transfer

Control system (STC) which provides for the

synchronous transfer of two to eight motors directly

to or from a line source of power. The system is

designed to handle induction motors or synchronous

motors and connection of motors to a source the

same as the drive or to an alternate source. The STC

has a local color HMI to support the configuration

and status of the system. The STC can be mounted in

the options cabinet, switchgear (if space available) or

a separate enclosure. The synchronous transfer

control logic can be demonstrated during the witness

test.

Note: When customers select synchronous transfer option

Siemens recommends customers to install motor

protection relay (MPR). Once a motor is transferred

directly on line it is no longer protected by the VFD.

When switchgear is supplied by a customer, it is the

customer responsibility to install and program the

• Precautions must be taken to ensure there is no

voltage induced on the motor terminals.

• Equipment such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

must be applied such that power flow back from

the motor will not damage equipment.

• The selected VFD must be able to tolerate the

highest possible voltage which could be generated

by a spinning PM motor. This is especially

important for ESPs which may backspin after

shutdown or motors operated in overspeed

Output contactor may be required.

Options Requiring Customer Specific Input

Option Description

Y05 Customer-specific nameplate

As standard the nameplate shows the rated data of

the drive under nominal conditions.

If data on the nameplate should be adapted to

special ambient conditions (temperature, altitude)

or should reflect special load conditions (e.g.

derating because of operation at low frequency) the

option Y05 must be selected.

Information to be supplied:

• Altitude

• Coolant temperature

• Rated voltages

• Rated current

• Rated power

Y10 Circuit diagrams with customer-specific description

field

The circuit diagrams are given customer-specific

headers. The data for the header must be specified

in plain text (up to three lines of 45 characters per

line).

Y15 Output filter

The filter is typically required when cable lengths at

the drive output exceed 2.3 km (7500 ft). At such

long distances, the effective switching frequency

harmonics and sidebands may excite a cable

resonance resulting in transmission line

overvoltages at the motor terminals.

This option may also be used to address EMI or

dV/dt requirements. The filter effectively removes

all frequency components above 2000 Hz in the

drive output voltage. Because SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 is already free of low-order

output harmonics, the result is a nearly perfect

sinusoidal output waveform.

Depending on the drive configuration, the filter may

be located in transition cabinets. The filter

components are dimensioned based on the

continuous current rating of the power cells and

maximum drive voltage.

For more detailed information, please contact your

Siemens sales partner.

Y36 Customer-specific cabinet labels

Labels with customer-specific information are

attached to the drive cabinets according to Siemens

standard. The text and quantity of these labels need

to be specified as plain text. As standard, the labels

will be manufactured out of Formica, using black

letters on a white background.

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) For specific applications, 0.01 % accuracy can be achieved – contact your Siemens sales partner.

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

6) Testing is required to determine exact value.

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.

Voltage sag, undervoltage conditions and interruptions performance

At full speed, SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 provides

regular operation for dips down to 90% of nominal voltage.

After that the drive output power is rolled-back linearly from

100 % power at 90 % of input voltage down to 50 % power at

66 % of nominal input voltage. Output power is reduced by

limiting the available motor torque. The drive can operate

continuously in this mode.

When the input voltage falls below 66 %, then the power is

quickly reduced to a slightly negative value (regenerative

limit, see Figure 22). This limit forces the drive to absorb

power from the motor and maintain the DC bus voltages in

case the input voltage recovers during medium voltage ridethrough. The limit is implemented as an inverse function of

speed in order to maintain constant power flow to the DCbus.

Figure 22: Drive power (Pmax) as a function of input voltage

magnitude (Erms)

When the input voltage falls below 66 % (or other limit

defined by manufacturer), the drive will ride-through without

tripping up to 500 milliseconds with all cells functioning and

100 milliseconds with cells in bypass. During ride-through

the motor voltage is maintained but no torque is produced

until the input voltage is re-established. The drive provides

only magnetizing current to a motor leaving energy stored in

the DC link to generate output voltage. Automatic restart

into spinning load is possible with no load or line disturbance

as long as the motor flux is present.

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 requires a separate low

voltage input for control and auxiliaries provided by the

customer that is typically backed up by UPS. In the case

where a UPS is not available the GH180 drive has the option

to incorporate a UPS into the drive design to ensure smooth

performance during voltage sag and undervoltage conditions

for low voltage network. Without UPS, the SINAMICS

PERFECT HARMONY GH180 control ride-through is 5 cycles.

Applications with very low inertia like ESP might come to a

complete stop during power loss ride-through and require

either automatic or manual restart depending on operator

preferences.

Protection and monitoring functions

Vector control The drive can be controlled by means of vector control algorithm without an encoder: open-loop

control (standard) or with it: closed-loop control (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 The flying restart function permits smooth connection of the drive to a rotating motor.

Air cooling requirements

Power losses of drive system

Traditional way to publish heat losses for a VFD is based on the drive's efficiency – heat rejection of the drive itself or

kW.PowerLoss = (100 % – DriveEfficiency) x kW.DrivePower

The limitation of this approach is incorrect sizing of the VFD at full load resulting in less current required by the motor – potentially

starving the motor at full load. That is why Siemens uses system approach and includes not only VFD efficiency but also motor

efficiency when calculating losses for the drive:

kW.PowerLoss = kW.Input – kW.Output

This ensures that a customer can not only get properly size HVAC but also properly sized drive. Typical motor efficiency used to

calculate heat losses in the tables below is 95.2 %.

Air-cooled drives rely on circulating air to cool the components within the drive. The amount of heat generated is equivalent to the

drive losses. As the drives take in as much air as is output, no building make-up air is required unless the drive has the option "drive

prepared for duct flange connection" (M64 or M68), in this instance depending on your site and building configuration, Siemens will

provide the required airflow and pressure drop to ensure proper drive function.

the fluids are exposed to the entire surface area of the plates.

This is the best option if customer has water available on site.

Liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger data:

• Made of stainless steel alloy 304 or 316.

• Customer inlet water temperature: 32 - 104F (0-40C)

• Heat exchanger design pressure – 150 psi (1034.2 kPa)

The raw water must be chemically neutral, clean and free of

solids. Additional specifications relating to the quality of the

raw water are listed in the following table.

In case of deviations it is recommended to carry out an

analysis of the water in order to ensure the heat exchanger's

endurance strength. If the water is supplied from a lake or

river, W55 option is recommended for 6SR327 – prepare for

inlet water filter or specify a shell and tube heat exchanger.

This is a drop ship option.

Customer Water Connections Interface: customer is

responsible for water connection to the drive:

• SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 6SR327 - 2” ANSI

flange (DIN 50 flange)

Cold Side Flow Requirements for GH180 6SR327 with integral

Drive prepared for liquid-to-air heat exchanger

When water is not available on site SINAMICS PERFECT

HARMONY GH180 6SR327 has an option to be installed with

external liquid-to-air heat exchanger (W32). In this case,

integral heat exchanger is removed from the circuit and

replace with set up to directly connect to external heat

exchanger.

In this set up the coolant flows through the system, collecting

the heat that has dissipated from the power cells and

transformer, and then exits the drive, passing through the

heat exchanger. As the coolant passes through the external

tubing (coil) of the heat exchanger, it is cooled by a network

of blowers, blowing cooler air onto the coils and reducing its

temperature by means of forced convection.

Each heat exchanger fan motor has a non-fused disconnect

mounted on the heat exchanger unit. The contactors for each

of the fans are located inside the converter heat exchanger

control panel. A separate auxiliary feed is required to the

converter that powers all of the contactors.

The heat exchanger is designed to operate with standard

capacity fans. There are several options available for heat

exchanger: additional capacity (N+1) as an option and the

heat exchanger copper coil can be coated with Heresite to

protect the cooling coils from corrosion. It can be designed to

be vertical or horizontal air flow. Shown below is a horizontal

heat exchanger design and its installation.

Below is an example of the flow diagram:

6SR327 with W32 Option flow requirement:

The flow rate depends on customer site and conditions - it is

impacted by installation distance, size of the pipe and other

conditions. As long as the pressure drop external to the VFD

coolant cabinet is less than 15 psi (103.4 kPA) and the heat

exchanger is at or below the VFD elevation, the coolant

system should operate as designed.

Customer Water Connections Interface: customer is

responsible for water connection to the drive

• GH180 6SR327 W32 – 3" ANSI flange (DIN 80 flange)

When installing external heat exchanger, it is recommended

to evaluate if you need freeze protection. When freeze

protection is not required 100 % deionized water is

recommended. If freeze protection is required glycol should

be limited to the range of 25 to 60 % by volume.

Freezing point of coolant % Propylene glycol by

volume (by mass)

+10 °F / –12.2 °C 25 (25)

0 °F / –17.8 °C 32 (33)

–10 °F / –23.3 °C 39 (40)

–20 °F / –28.9 °C 44 (45)

–30 °F / –34.4 °C 48 (49)

–40 °F / –40.0 °C 52 (53)

–50 °F / –45.6 °C 55 (56)

–55 °F / –48.0 °C 60 (62)

The volume of coolant required for the drive is approximately

100 U.S gallons. To determine the total system volume, the

volume in the piping to and from the main heat exchanger

and the volume of the main heat exchanger must be

determined by the customer. A drive in the system with total

volume < 250 U.S. gallons can operate with one coolant

expansion tank. A drive in a system with total volume

between 250 and 500 U.S. gallons requires one high capacity

coolant expansion tank.
