66 (ATV66), ALTIVAR 58 (ATV58), and ALTIVAR 18 (ATV18) drive controllers: • For ALTIVAR 66 controllers, see Part 1, page 6. • For ALTIVAR 58 controllers, see Part 2, page 35. • For ALTIVAR 18 controllers, see Part 3, page 47. WARNING OVERSPEED HAZARD • • Generation of braking torque throughout the operating speed range of the drive controller requires that dynamic braking be present and operating. Dynamic braking resistor must be selected to generate required torque. NO HOLDING TORQUE • Dynamic braking does not provide holding torque at zero speed. • Dynamic braking does not function during loss of power or drive controller fault. • When required, use separate braking function for holding torque. LOSS OF BRAKING TORQUE The dynamic braking resistor contains an internal thermal protection switch to open the circuit if the resistor is overloaded. THIS CAN RESULT IN DRIVE CONTROLLER SHUTDOWN AND LOSS OF BRAKING TORQUE. • Always verify that the dynamic braking resistor assembly has sufficient capacity for the application. • Provide alternative braking means in safety-critical applications. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved 5 Chpt 1Book.book Page 6 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Part 1: ALTIVAR 66 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Contents of Kit Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 PART 1: ALTIVAR 66 DYNAMIC BRAKING RESISTOR KIT Introduction The dynamic braking resistor kit allows ATV66 drive controllers to function in quadrants 2 and 4 of the speed/torque curve, dissipating the excess braking energy in an external resistor.

[2] Current rating of resistor assembly is calculated based on setting of internal overload protective device in assembly, overload setting based on enclosure overtemperature protection, and resistor overload versus time characteristics. Resistors are rated for stopping six times rotor inertia of four-pole motor with drive at current limit. Motor inertias are based on NEMA MG-1 14.45. [3] Ohmic value indicated is equivalent resistance of two resistor kits used in parallel. The ohmic value of each resistor kit is twice the value indicated. [4] The continuous current rating indicated is the equivalent current rating of two resistor kits in parallel. The continuous current rating of each resistor kit is half the value indicated. [5] Mounting the dynamic braking resistor assemblies on the ATV66C23N41 to C31N41 controllers requires the use of Dynamic Braking Resistor Mounting Plate Kit VY1A66202. © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved 7 Chpt 1Book.book Page 8 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Part 1: ALTIVAR 66 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Current-Time Characteristic for DB Resistor Assemblies Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 Current-Time Characteristic for DB Resistor Assemblies Figure 1 shows allowable time according to multiples of current setting with the dynamic braking resistor assembly located in a 40 °C ambient temperature environment.

The resistor assembly can also be used with certain general purpose enclosures. The following points should be considered before installation: • The dynamic braking resistor generates heat during braking. When operating at rated nameplate power in a 40 °C ambient temperature, the resistor enclosure can reach temperatures of 80 °C. The dynamic braking resistor should not be installed below or directly against heatsensitive materials or equipment. Do not mount against combustible surfaces or on polymeric enclosures. Refer to local and national codes for resistor mounting requirements. • For proper cooling, always orient the resistor assembly as shown in Figures 13, 14, or 15 on pages 30 - 32. Do not block ventilation openings of the enclosure. Ensure that ventilation and clearance is adequate for the rated power. Calculate the rated power of the assembly from nameplate information using the following formula: Power Rating = 〈 Nameplate Current Rating〉 2 × Resistance • If the time-current capability of the resistor is exceeded, protection is provided to prevent resistor damage or excessive enclosure temperatures. A thermal overload switch located inside the dynamic braking resistor assembly will trip and open the resistor circuit to prevent damage. The thermal overload switch may be reset once the overload condition has been corrected. The reset pushbutton of the thermal overload switch is accessed through the small hole in the front of the resistor enclosure (T). See Figures 5 and 6 on page 26. • The mounting surface must be capable of safely supporting the weight of the dynamic braking resistor assembly. Refer to Table 2 for assembly weights. Table 2: Assembly Weight Dynamic Braking Assembly Part No. Weight VW3A66711 and VW3A66712 11 lbs (5 kg) VW3A66713 and VW3A66714 16 lbs (7.3 kg) VW3A66715, 716, 717, 718 58 lbs (26.5 kg) © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved 9 Chpt 1Book.book Page 10 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Part 1: ALTIVAR 66 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Pre-Installation Considerations Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 • The enclosure of the dynamic braking resistor assembly is rated Type 1 per UL 50. The insulation system is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 3 environment (refer to NEMA ICS-1). The installation environment must be compatible with this rating. • Self-tapping M5 hardware is supplied with the dynamic braking resistor assembly and is intended for reuse during some installation procedures. When threaded into a 0.182 in (4.52 mm) diameter hole, the M5 hardware requires a minimum sheet metal thickness of 0.075 in (1.9 mm) in mild steel for rated thread strength. Do not thread fasteners into dissimilar metals or non-metallic materials. Torque the self-threading M5 fasteners to 32 to 41 lb-in (3.6 to 4.6 N•m). • When connecting the dynamic braking resistor assembly to the drive controller, use conductors with a cross-sectional size, insulation temperature rating, and insulation voltage rating suitable for the application. For 460 V drive controller applications, follow the recommendations in Table 3 for minimum conductor requirements.

The coordination of the conductors in the table is based upon the maximum input line fuse recommended on the specific drive controller nameplate, the use of feeder ground and line conductors selected per ANSI/NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), and the optional use of a feeder reactor with saturating characteristics. Separate PA, PB, and GND conductors must be installed to the drive controller for each dynamic braking resistor unit. Do not series the connections. © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved Chpt 1Book.book Page 11 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 Part 1: ALTIVAR 66 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Pre-Installation Considerations • The bushing supplied with the dynamic braking resistor assembly can be used as a feed-through for the three conductors from the dynamic braking resistor assembly while maintaining a Type 12 seal through an enclosure wall. The bushing supplied with kits VW3A66711 to VW3A66714 is compatible with conductors with outside diameters of 0.16 ± 0.01 in (4.0 ± 0.25 mm). The bushing supplied with kits VW3A66715 to VW3A66718 is compatible with conductors with outside diameters of 0.22 ± 0.01 in (5.6 ± 0.25 mm). Both bushings can be used with surface thicknesses to 0.10 in (2.5 mm). • Refer to ANSI/NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) for information concerning insulated conductor dimensions. The bushing supplied with kits VW3A66711 to VW3A66714 is primarily intended for use with #10 AWG conductors. The bushing supplied with kits VW3A66715 to VW3A66718 is primarily intended for use with #8 AWG conductors. • Good wiring practice requires separation of dynamic braking power wiring from all other drive controller wiring. Control and power wiring should cross at right angles only. Use metal conduit for all dynamic braking wiring outside the drive controller enclosure. Do not run control or other power wiring in same conduit with dynamic braking power wiring. © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved 11 Chpt 1Book.book Page 12 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Part 1: ALTIVAR 66 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Installation Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 Installation Before installing the dynamic braking resistor assembly, perform the bus voltage measurement procedure. Bus Voltage Measurement Procedure DANGER HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE • • • • Read and understand Bus Voltage Measurement Procedure before installing dynamic braking resistor. Measurement of DC bus capacitor voltage must be performed by qualified personnel. DC bus LED is not an accurate indication of absence of DC bus voltage. DO NOT short across capacitors or touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present. Many parts in this drive controller, including printed wiring boards, operate at line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use only electrically insulated tools. Electrical shock will result in death or serious injury. The PA and - terminals are located inside the ALTIVAR 66 drive controller. See Figures 2 - 4 on pages 13 - 15 for terminal locations. To measure bus capacitor voltage: 1. Disconnect and verify that all power is removed from the drive controller. If drive controller is housed in a larger enclosure, disconnect and verify that all power is removed from the enclosure. 2. Wait 1 minute to allow the DC bus to discharge. 3. For Class 8839 enclosed ALTIVAR 66 drive controllers, or for situations where the drive controller is housed in a user-supplied enclosure: — Open the outer enclosure door for access to the drive controller. — Open the front cover (if present) of the drive controller for access to terminal strip J2 and the PA and - terminals. For ALTIVAR 66 drive controllers not housed inside supplementary enclosures, open the front cover of the drive controller for access to terminal strip J2 and the PA and - terminals. 4. Set the volt meter to the 1000 VDC scale. Measure the bus capacitor voltage between the PA and - terminals to verify that the DC voltage 12 © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved Chpt 1Book.book Page 13 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 Part 1: ALTIVAR 66 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Installation is less than 45 V. Do not short across capacitor terminals with voltage present! 5. If the bus capacitors are not fully discharged, contact your local representative — do not operate the drive controller. 6. Close all doors to the drive controller and enclosure.

The resistor assembly can also be used with certain general purpose enclosures. The following points should be considered before installation: • The dynamic braking resistor generates heat during braking. When operating at rated nameplate power in a 40 °C ambient temperature, the resistor enclosure can reach temperatures of 80 °C. The dynamic braking resistor should not be installed below or directly against heatsensitive materials or equipment. Do not mount against combustible surfaces or on polymeric enclosures. Refer to local and national codes for resistor mounting requirements. • For proper cooling, always orient the resistor assembly as shown in Figures 25 and 26 on pages 45 and 46. Do not block ventilation openings of the enclosure. Ensure that ventilation and clearance is adequate for the rated power. Calculate the rated power of the assembly from nameplate information using the following formula: Power Rating = ( Nameplate Current Rating ) 2 × Resistance • If the time-current capability of the resistor is exceeded, protection is provided to prevent resistor damage or excessive enclosure temperatures. A thermal overload switch located inside the dynamic braking resistor assembly will trip and open the resistor circuit to prevent damage. The thermal overload switch may be reset once the overload condition has been corrected. The reset pushbutton of the thermal overload switch is accessed through the small hole in the front of the resistor enclosure (T). See Figure 20 on page 43. • The mounting surface must be capable of safely supporting the weight of the dynamic braking resistor assembly. Refer to Table 5 for assembly weights. Table 5: Assembly Weight Dynamic Braking Assembly Part No. Weight VW3A66711 and VW3A66712 11 lbs (5 kg) VW3A66713 and VW3A66714 16 lbs (7.3 kg) © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved 37 Chpt 1Book.book Page 38 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Part 2: ALTIVAR 58 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Pre-Installation Considerations Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 • The enclosure of the dynamic braking resistor assembly is rated Type 1 (per UL 50). The insulation system is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 3 environment (refer to NEMA ICS-1). The installation environment must be compatible with this rating. • Self-tapping M5 hardware is supplied with the dynamic braking resistor assembly and is intended for reuse during some installation procedures. When threaded into a 0.182 in (4.52 mm) diameter hole, the M5 hardware requires a minimum sheet metal thickness of 0.075 in (1.9 mm) in mild steel for rated thread strength. Do not thread fasteners into dissimilar metals or non-metallic materials. The selfthreading M5 fasteners should be torqued to 32 to 41 lb-in (3.6 to 4.6 N•m). • When connecting the dynamic braking resistor assembly to the drive controller, use conductors with a cross-sectional size, insulation temperature rating, and insulation voltage rating suitable for the application. Follow the recommendations in Table 6 for minimum conductor requirements. Table 6: PA, PB, GND Conductor Requirements PA, PB, GND Minimum Conductor Requirements [1] Drive Controller Part No. Individual Conductor Length not Exceeding 10 ft (3.0 m) Individual Conductor Length not Exceeding 100 ft (30.4 m) ATV58•U09M2 to U18M2 600 V, #14 AWG, 60/75 °C Copper - ATV58•U29M2 to U72M2 ATV58•U18N4 to D12N4 600 V, #14 AWG, 60/75 °C Copper 600 V, #8 AWG, 60/75 °C Copper ATV58•U90M2 to D12M2 ATV58•D16N4 to D23N4 600 V, #10 AWG, 60/75 °C Copper 600 V, #8 AWG, 60/75 °C Copper [1] 38 In addition to the required continuous current rating, the conductor cross-sectional size has been selected to minimize the possibility of insulation damage should an overcurrent or ground fault occur at the DB resistor assembly. The coordination of the conductors in the table is based upon the maximum input line fuse recommended on the specific drive controller nameplate, the use of feeder ground and line conductors selected per ANSI/NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), and the optional use of a feeder reactor with saturating characteristics. © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved Chpt 1Book.book Page 39 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 Part 2: ALTIVAR 58 Dynamic Braking Resistor Kit Installation • The bushing supplied with the dynamic braking resistor assembly can be used as a feed-through for the three conductors from the dynamic braking resistor assembly while maintaining a Type 12 seal through an enclosure wall. It can be used with surface thicknesses up to 0.10 in (2.5 mm). • Refer to ANSI/NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) for information concerning insulated conductor dimensions. The bushing supplied with kits VW3A66711 to VW3A66714 is primarily intended for use with #10 AWG conductors. • Good wiring practice requires separation of dynamic braking power wiring from all other drive controller wiring. Control and power wiring should cross at right angles only. Use metal conduit for all dynamic braking wiring outside the drive controller enclosure. Do not run control or other power wiring in same conduit with dynamic braking power wiring. Installation Bus Voltage Measurement Procedure DANGER HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE • Read and understand the Bus Voltage Measurement Procedure before performing procedure. Measurement of bus capacitor voltage must be performed by qualified personnel. • DO NOT short across capacitors or touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present. • Many parts in this drive controller, including printed wiring boards, operate at line voltage.

However, when the driven machinery may present an overhauling load or large inertia to the drive system, the suitability of the DB resistor assembly for the application should be checked. The suitability of a DB resistor assembly is determined by analyzing the mechanical system of the driven machinery. From the analysis, the following three key parameters are computed: • The peak braking power required during stopping or speed changes (Pi). The value of Pi determines the maximum allowable ohmic value of the DB resistor. • The amount of power that must be absorbed (Ps) for a given time (td) by the DB resistors during stopping or speed changes of the drive. The value of Pd and Td determine the required time-current characteristic of the DB resistor. • The calculation of dynamic braking power requires Vdb. Vdb = 795 V for 460 V drives Vdb = 397 V for 230 V drives • The average power that must be dissipated by the DB resistor during an entire cycle of the machine (Pa). The value of Pa determines the required continuous current rating of the DB resistor. Examples The following example illustrates the process. Given: The application consists of a 5 hp, 1740 rpm motor with a rotor inertia of 0.28 lbf-ft2. The motor is being controlled by an ATV66U72N4 operating in the constant torque mode. The motor is driving a machine with an inertia 10 times that of the motor with no interposing speed changer. The machine resistive (friction) torque is one-tenth of the rated motor torque at full speed. The requirement is to stop in 5 seconds from rated speed at a rate of 2 cycles per minute. 60 © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved Chpt 1Book.book Page 61 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 Appendix A: Calculating ALTIVAR 66 DB Resistor Requirements Examples Mechanical system parameters: Rated motor torque: Tn = (hp x 5250)/Nbase = (5 x 5250)/1740 = 15.1 lbf-ft Machine cycle time: tc = (60 seconds)/(two operations per minute) = 30 seconds Machine speed change during deceleration: Nd = 1740 rpm - 0 rpm = 1740 rpm Machine deceleration time: td = 5 seconds Mechanical system resistive (friction) torque: Tr = (15.1 lbf-ft)/10 = 1.51 lbf-ft Mechanical system overhauling torque: To = 0.00 lbf-ft Mechanical system combined inertia: Jc = 0.28 lbf-ft2 + (10) x 0.28 lbf-ft2 = 3.08 lbf-ft2 Mechanical system inertial torque for a given deceleration rate (as set by controller decel ramp): Tj = Jc x (Nd)/(308 x (td)) = 3.08 x 1740/(308 x 5) = 3.48 lbf-ft Required braking torque from motor: Tb = Tj + To - Tr = 3.48 + 0.00 - 1.51 = 1.97 lbf-ft NOTE: The required braking torque must not exceed the motor’s ability to produce torque.

For machines that can continuously overhaul the motor, the value of overhauling torque (To) minus the resistive torque (Tr) must not exceed the motor continuous torque rating at any speed. © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved 67 Chpt 1Book.book Page 68 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Appendix C: Calculating ALTIVAR 18 DB Resistor Requirements Examples Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 DB resistor requirements: Peak braking power required to develop braking torque (Tb) when decelerating from a given speed (N): Pi = Tb x N/(7.04) = (1.97 x 1740)/(7.04) = 487 W The braking power that must be absorbed for a time (td) during stopping or speed changing operation: Pd = 0.5 x Pi = 0.5 x 487 = 243 W for a period of td seconds The average braking power that must be dissipated during a machine cycle: Pa = Pd x td/tc = 243 x 5/30 = 40.5 W Capability of VW3-A66712 DB resistor assembly for ATV18U72N4 controller: Peak braking power that can be developed with VW3-A66712 DB resistor assembly with controller configured for 460 V input line operation: Pi = (Vdb)2/Rdb = (795 V)2/56Ω = 11,286 W The braking power that can be absorbed for td (based on DB resistor hot state current-time characteristic curve shown in Figure 27 on page 48): Pd = Rdb x ((Multiple of Ir at td) x Ir)2 = 56Ω x (3.5 x 1.45)2 = 1442 W Since Rdb limits the peak current that can be drawn from the drive controller DC bus, the value of [(Multiple of Ir) x Ir] must be limited to no greater than (√ pi/Rdb). The average braking power that can be dissipated continuously: Pa = Rdb x (Ir)2 = 56Ω x (1.45)2 = 118 W For the example, the VW3-A66712 DB resistor assembly will work as intended for the application. 68 © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved Chpt 1Book.book Page 69 Sunday, August 10, 2003 5:59 PM Bulletin No. VD0C06N908C July 1998 © 1997 Square D All Rights Reserved Appendix C: Calculating ALTIVAR 18 DB Resistor Requirements Examples 69
