The lower the power factor, the higher the I

RMS

for the same HP/kW performance.

In addition, a high power factor indicates that the different harmonic currents are low.

The FC 300 adjustable frequency drives’ built-in DC coils produce a high power factor,

which minim izes the imposed load on the mai ns supply.

" CE Conformity and Labeling

What is CE Conformity and Labeling?

The purpose of CE labeling is to avoid technical trade obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU

has introduced the CE label as a simple way of showing whether a product complies with the

relevant EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the specifications or quality of the product.

Adjustable fre quency drives are re gulate d by three EU directives:

The machinery directive (98/37/EEC)

All machines with critical moving parts are covered by the machinery directive of J anuary 1, 1995. Since an

adjustable frequency drive is largely electrical, it does not fall under the machinery directive. However, if

15

MG.33.B4.22 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark

FC 300 Design Guide

Introduction to FC 300

an adjustable frequency drive is supplied for use in a machine, we provide information on safety aspects

relating to the adjustable frequency drive. We do this by means of a manufacturer’s de claration.

The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)

Adjustable frequency drives must be CE-labeled in accordance with the low-voltage directive of

January 1, 1997. The dire ctive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances used in the

50 - 1000 V AC and the 75 - 1500 V DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with

the directive and issues a d eclaration of conformity upon request.

The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)

EMC is short for electrom agnetic compatibility. The presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the

mutual interference between different components/appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.

The EMC directive came into e ffect January 1, 1996. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and

issues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carry out EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in

this Design Guide. In addition, w e specify which standards our prod u cts c omply with. We offer the f

ilters

presented in the specifications and provide other types of assistance to ensure the op timum EMC result.

The adjustable frequency d rive is most ofte n use d by professionals of the trade as a complex component

forming part of a larger appliance, system or installation. It must be n oted that the re spons ibility for

the final EMC properties of the appliance, system, or installation lies with th

einstaller.

" What Is Covered

The EU "Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive 89/336 /EEC" outline three typical situations

of using an adjustable frequency drive. See following for EMC coverage and

CE labeling.

1. The adjustable frequen cy drive is sold direc tly to the en d consu

mer. The adjustable frequency drive is

for example sold to a DIY market. The end consumer is a layman. He installs the adjustable frequency

drive himself for use with a hobby machine, a kitche n appl iance, etc. Fo r such appli cations, the

adjustable frequency drive must be CE-labeled in accordanc

e with the EMC directive.

2. The adjustable frequency drive is sold for installation in a p lant. The plant is built up by p rofessi onals of the

trade. It could be a production plant or a heating/ventilation pla nt de signed and installed by profes sionals

of the trade. Neither the adjustable frequency driv

e nor the finished p lant must be CE-labeled under the

EMC d irective. How ever, the unit must comply with the b asic EMC requirements of the directive. This is

ensured by using components, appliances, and systems that are CE-labeled under the EMC directive.

3. Theadjustablefrequencydriveissoldaspartofac

ompletesystem. Thesystemisbeingmarketed

as complete and could be e.g. an air conditioning system. ThecompletesystemmustbeCE-labeled

in accordance with the EMC directive. The manufacturer can ensure CE labeling under the EMC

directive either by using CE-labeled comp

onents or by testing the EMC of the system. If it chooses

to use only CE-labeled components, it does not have to test the entire system.

" Danfoss VLT Adjustable Frequency

Drive and CE L abeling

CE labeling is a positive feature when used for its original purpose, i.e. to facilitate trade within the EU and EFTA.

However, CE labeling may cover many d ifferent specifications. Thus, you must check

what a given CE label specifically covers.

The covered specificatio ns can be very different and a CE label may therefore give the installer a false sense

of security when using an adj

ustable frequency drive as a component in a system or a n appliance.

Danfoss CE labels the adjust

able frequency drives in accordance with the l ow-voltage dire ctive.

This means that if the adjustable frequency drive is inst alled correctly, we guarantee compliance

Introduction to FC 300

A Cold plate technology

The adjustable frequ ency drive is bu ilt upon a very stable aluminum base integrated with the back

panel. This provides high mechanical stability, efficient cooling, and the possibility of cold plate

operation. The cold plate serves as a flat cooling surface on the adjustable frequency drive, where a

majority of the heat dissipates from the electronics to an external cooling surface.

B DC coil

The built-in DC coil ensures low harmonic disturbance of the power supply according to IEC-1000-3-2.

C Air-guiding shield

The shield allows cold air to pass by the electronics only. The plastic air guide shield is enclosed in

the package and is easily snapped in place. If the adjustable frequen cy drive is to operate as a

cold plate drive, the air-guiding shield is inserted in the cooling channel through the bottom of the

drive if it is snapped onto the fan. Thus, the amount of heat transferred t o the surroundings via the

cooling air from the fan is reduced.

D Removable fan

Like most of the elements, the fan can easily be removed for cleaning and remounted.

E Safe Stop (FC 302 only)

The adjustable frequen cy drive comes standard prepared for installations with the safe stop

functionality for stop category 0 (EN 60204-1) with safety category 3 (EN 954-1). This feature

prevents the drive from starting unintent ionally.

F Control terminals

Spring-loaded cage clamps and screwl ess terminals contribu te to relia bility and faci litate easy

commissioning and service.

G Options

Options for bus communication, I/O extension, etc. can be delivered extra or ordered built-in (and

tested togethe r with the drive) from the factory. Options mounted under the LCP are referred to as

option Slot A (top) and option Slot B (bottom). Option C is mounted on the side of the drive, while

option D is mounted underneath the control cable decoupling plate.

H Local Control Panel

The LCP 102 has a graphical us er interface. Choose between 27 built-in languages (including Chinese)

or have it customized with your own languages and phrases.

Additionally a simple version, LCP 101, is available with an a lpha-num eric display. The complete

programming of FC 301 and FC 302 can be handled by both LCPs.

J Hot-pluggable LCP

The LCP can be plugged in or out during operation. Settings are easily transferred via the control panel

from one drive to another or from a PC with the MCT-10 set-up software.

" Air Humidity

The adjustable fre quency drive has b ee n designed to meet the IEC/EN 60068 -2-3 standard,

EN 50178 pkt. 9.4.2.2 at 122 °

F(50°C).

" Aggressive Environments

An adjustable frequency drive contains a large number of mechanical and electronic components.

All are to some extent vul

nerable to environmental effects.

Introduction to FC 300

The adjust able frequenc y drive should not be installed in environments with airborne

liquids,particles,orgasescapableofaffecting and damaging the electronic components.

Failure t o take the necessary p rotective measure s increases the risk of stoppages,

thus reducing the life of the adjustable frequency drive.

L

iquids can be carried through the air and condense in the adjustable frequency drive and m ay

cause corrosion of components and metal parts. Steam, oil, and salt water may cause corrosion of

components and metal parts. In such environments, use equipment with enclosure rating IP 55. As

an extra protection, coated printed circuit boards can be ordered as an option.

Airborne P

articles such as dust may cause mechanical, electrical, or thermal f ailure in the adjustable

frequency drive. A typical indicator of excessive levels of airborne particles is dust particles

around the adjustable frequency drive fan. In very dusty envir o nments, use equip ment wi

th

enclosure rating IP 55 or a cabinet for IP 00/IP 20/ TYPE 1 equipment.

In environments with high temperatures and humidity,

corrosive gases such as sulfur, nitrogen, and chlorine

compounds w ill cause chemical processes on the adjustable frequency drive components.

Such chemical reactions will rapidly affect and damage the electronic components. In

such environments, mount the eq uipment in a cab inet with fre sh air ven

tilation, keeping

aggressive gases away from the adjustable freque nc y drive.

An extra protectio n in such areas is a coating of the printed circuit boards, which can be ordered as an option.

NOTE

Mounting adjustable frequency drives in aggressive e nvi

ronments increases the risk of

stoppages and considerably red uces the life of the drive.

Before installing the adjustable frequency drive, check the ambient air for liquids, particles, and gases .

This is d one by observing existing installa tions in this environment. Typ ical indicators of harmful

airborne liquids are water or oil on metal parts, or c o

rrosion of metal parts.

Excessive dust particle levels are often found

on installation cabinets and existing electrical installations. One

indicator of aggressive airborne gases is blackening of copper rails and cable ends on existing installations.

" Vibration and Shock

The adjustabl e frequency drive has been

tested according to a procedu

re based on

the shown standards:

The adjustable frequency drive com plies w ith

requirements that exist for units mounted on the

wallsandfloorsofproduc

tion premises, as well

as in panels bolted to walls or floors.

IEC/EN 60068-2-6: Vibration (sinusoidal) - 1970

IEC/EN 60068-2-64: Vibration, broad-band

random

" Control Principle

An adjust able frequency drive rectifi es AC voltage from line into DC voltage, after which this DC

voltage is converted into an AC current with a variable am pl itude and frequency.

The motor is supplied with variable voltage / curre nt and frequency, which enables infinitely variable speed

control of three-phased, standard AC motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors.
