Inductors
Inductors
Introduction
Inductors provide improved protection against overvoltages on the input supply and reduce harmonic dis-
tortion of the current produced by the drive.
The inductors recommended are open style, 5% impedance rated line inductors from MTE Corporation.
Equivalent inductors from another manufacturer may be used.
The use of inductors is recommended in the following cases:
• Input supply with significant interference from other equipment
• Input supply with a voltage imbalance between phases > 1.8% of the nominal voltage
• Drive supplied by a line with low impedance (close to transformers ten times more powerful than the
drive)
• Large number of drives installed on the same supply

Electromagnetic Compatibility
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Installation Precautions
For electromagnetic compatibility, observe the following installation precautions:
• Ensure that the grounds of the drive, the motor, and the cable shields are at equal potential.
• Use shielded cables with the shields tied to ground at both ends of the motor cable and the control
cables. The ground connection to the shield must make contact with the complete circumference of
the shield. This shielding can be achieved by using metallic conduit as long as there is no discontinuity
(bonding at conduit fittings is required).

ALTIVAR 18 AC Drives
Electromagnetic Compatibility
1. Unpainted sheet metal mounting plate with anti-corrosion conductive treatment (ground plane).
Painted sheet metal can be used if a good electrical contact is made between the support and
mounting surfaces and 2 and 5.
2. The drive is mounted directly to the metal plate. Ensure that all four corner mounting points have
good electrical contact with the metal plate.
3. Non-shielded input wire or cable, connected to the input inductors, if used. Maintain separation be-
tween input wiring and motor wiring.
4. Non-shielded wire for the output of the fault relay contacts. Maintain separation between fault relay
wiring and motor wiring.
5. The shields of cables 6 and 7 must be fastened and grounded as close to the drive as possible. The
shields must be well clamped to the mounting plate. To ensure good contact:
• Strip the shields.
• Fasten stripped portions of the shields to the mounting plate with correctly sized clamps.
• Use stainless steel clamps.
6. Shielded cable for connection to motor, with shield tied to ground at both ends. At the drive, the
shield is connected to the E or G/E terminal on the far right of the power terminal strip. This shield
must not be interrupted and if intermediate terminal blocks are used, they must be EMC-shielded
metallic boxes. The cable shield must have an ampacity greater than or equal to the ampacity of
the ground conductor.
7. Shielded cable for connection to control system. For applications requiring several conductors, a
small wire size must be used (20 AWG or 0.5 mm2). The shield must be tied to ground at both ends.
At the drive, the shield is connected to the E or G/E terminal on the far right of the power terminal
strip. This shield must not be interrupted and if intermediate terminal blocks are used, they must be
EMC-shielded metallic boxes. Maintain separation between control/command wiring and motor
wiring.
Note: Connection at equal potential of the grounds between the drive, motor, and cable shields does not
preclude the connection of equipment ground conductors as required by national and local codes.

Drive Settings
Factory Settings
The drive is supplied ready to use for most applications with the following functions and settings:
The keypad can be used to modify the settings and extend the functions described on pages 16 to 22.
There are two levels of access:
• Level 1: Adjustments (basic configuration)
• Level 2: Extension of functions
It is possible to restore the factory preset values at any time.
The linear acceleration and deceleration ramps can be adjusted separately from 0.1 to 3600 seconds. Fac-
tory setting is 3 seconds.
The two frequency limits, HSP (high speed) and LSP (low speed), define the speed range permitted by
the machine during operation. The frequency limits are suitable for all applications. Ensure that the HSP
setting is suitable for the motor.
f (Hz)
HSP
16
ALTIVAR 18 AC Drives
Drive Settings
Function
Automatic adaptation of the deceleration ramp time if the initial setting is too low given the inertia of the
load. This function eliminates tripping due to an overbraking fault.
Applications
All applications not requiring a controlled stop and not using dynamic braking.
Setting
Yes or no, factory set to yes. Automatic adaptation must be set to no if the machine has position control
when stopping on a ramp, or dynamic braking.
Function
Indirect protection of the motor by continuous calculation of I2t. This function provides thermal protection
of the motor in the following cases:
• Ambient temperature around the motor ≤ 40 °C
• Prolonged operation between 30 Hz and 50/60 hz with self-ventilated motor
• Below 30 Hz, reduced cooling of the motor is taken into account in the calculation
Ith: 0.5 to 1.15 times the continuous output current of the drive, factory set to drive output current. Set to
the nominal current shown on the motor nameplate. To override thermal protection, increase the adjust-
ment value to the maximum value.
If motors are connected in parallel on the same drive, a separate thermal relay should be added for each
motor.
Function
Indirect protection of the drive by calculation of I2t. This function provides thermal protection of the drive for
normal ambient temperature conditions. Typical tripping values are:
• Motor current = 185% of nominal drive current: 2 seconds
• Motor current = 150% of nominal drive current: 60 seconds
• Motor current = 110% of nominal drive current: not active
Protection by thermistor mounted on heat sink.
Fault Relay
The fault relay is energized when the drive is powered up and there is no fault present. There is a NO/NC
contact available.
The drive is reset after a fault:
• By cycling power
• Automatically as described in “Automatic Restart” on page 22.
Logic Inputs
17
ALTIVAR 18 AC Drives
Drive Settings
Preset Speeds
Function
Use of preset speeds.
Applications
Material handling and machines requiring 2 or 4 operating speeds.
• 2 speeds with LI3 or LI4
— State 0: First preset speed = LSP + analog reference
— State 1: Second preset speed = HSP
• 4 speeds with LI3 and LI4
— LI3 = 0 and LI4 = 0: First preset speed = LSP + analog reference
— LI3 = 1 and LI4 = 0: Second preset speed (adjustable from LSP to HSP)
— LI3 = 0 and LI4 = 1: Third preset speed (adjustable from LSP to HSP)
— LI3 = 1 and LI4 = 1: Fourth preset speed = HSP
Settings
Factory setting is 4 preset speeds with LI3 and LI4:
• First preset speed: LSP = 0 + analog reference
• Second preset speed: 5 Hz
• Third preset speed: 25 Hz
• Fourth preset speed: HSP = 50 Hz
Note: The preset speeds function is not compatible with the PI regulator function (see page 20).
Jog
Function
Jog function with a minimum ramp time of 0.1 second and a speed reference up to 10 Hz (factory preset
to 10 Hz). Minimum time between two jog pulses is 0.5 seconds. Jog requires one logic input (LI1, LI2, or
LI3) and a direction input (FW or RV).
Applications
• Machines which run in manual
• Used to move slightly forward when performing maintenance
Note: Jog is not compatible with PI regulator (page 20). During jog operation, automatic DC injection brak-
ing at stop is deactivated; however, DC injection braking using a logic input has priority over Jog.

Fast Stop
Function
When activated, the drive will stop the motor on a deceleration ramp that is one-fourth the set deceleration
adjustment. This time may be modified (lengthened) to prevent an overbraking fault. Requires 1 logic input
(LI2, LI3, or LI4), activated when LI is off. Used for conveyors with electric brake (optimization of braking
time depending on the load).
Note: During a fast stop, automatic DC injection braking and DC injection braking using a logic input are
not active.
DC Injection Braking
Function
There are two modes of DC injection braking:
• DC injection braking automatic at stop (frequency < 0.5 Hz)
— Automatic current at stop adjustable from 0.25 times the thermal motor current (Ith) to 1 times
the continuous current of the drive. Factory setting is 0.7 nominal drive current
— Braking time at stop: 0 to 25 seconds or continuous
• DC injection braking activated by logic input LI2, LI3, or LI4
— Braking when LI is on
— Fixed braking current: nominal drive current for 5 seconds followed by 0.5 Ith
Applications
Braking at low speed for high inertia fans and maintaining torque at stop (0.2 to 0.4 Tn) in the case of fans
situated in an air flow.
Factory setting: automatic at stop only, 0.5 seconds.
Note: DC injection braking is not active if the fast stop function is in progress.
Logic Output
Function
Two summing inputs (factory setting).
• 1 speed reference input: + 10 V (AI1)
• 1 additional analog input used: either voltage 0 to 10 V (AI2) or current 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA (AIC)
Applications
Machines in which the speed is determined by an external parameter.

Note: PI regulator is not compatible with preset speeds (see page 18) or Jog (see page 18).
Volts/Frequency Options
Function
Performance of the application can be optimized by selecting the Volts/frequency option.
Applications
• Heavily loaded machines at low speed or machines with short cycles with sensorless flux vector con-
trol: ratio n.
• Constant torque applications (machines with average load at low speed) with motors connected in
parallel or special motors (e.g., with resistive cage): ratio L.
• Variable torque applications (pumps, fans): ratio P.
• Energy savings for machines with slow variations in torque and speed: ratio nLd. The voltage is au-
tomatically reduced to the minimum depending on the torque required.
Auto-Tune
The Auto-tune function is for sensorless flux vector control (n) or energy savings (nLd) V/f options only.
This function is activated from the keypad and can only be performed when the drive is stopped. It auto-
matically measures the motor parameters and adapts the corresponding drive parameters.
Applications
For use on North American motors, when torque or stability performance is insufficient, or to obtain in-
creased performance.

Switching Frequency
Function
The switching frequency can be adjusted to reduce the noise generated by the motor. Range is 2.2 to
12 kHz, factory setting of 4 kHz.
Applications
All applications requiring a low level of motor noise.
Skip Frequencies
Function
Suppression of critical speeds caused by mechanical resonance. It is possible to prohibit the prolonged
operation of the motor at a preset frequency with a bandwidth of 2 Hz, adjustable from LSP to HSP.
Applications
Pumps and fans.
JPF 2 Hz
Factory setting: JPF = 0, no skip frequency set.
Setpoint
Function
Controlled stop of the motor on a loss of input supply power. The drive follows a self-adjusting ramp which
is a function of the regenerated energy.
Applications
Material handling, machines with high inertia, continuous process machines.
Factory setting: not active
Function
Smooth restarting of the motor after a short input line undervoltage. When restarted, the effective speed
of the motor is sought in order to restart on a ramp and return to the reference speed. The speed search
time can reach 3.2 seconds depending on the initial deviation. This function requires the speed reference
and the run direction command (FW or RV) to be maintained when restarted. Factory setting: not active.
Applications
Machines for which loss of motor speed is not great during input line undervoltage.

Automatic Restart
Function
Automatic restart after the drive trips on certain faults (see list below) if the cause of the fault has been
corrected and operating conditions permit. The restart is made by a series of attempts performed at in-
creasing intervals of 5 seconds, 10 seconds, then 1 minute. If the drive has not restarted after 6 minutes,
it faults and must be manually reset. Factory setting is not active.
Faults which may be automatically restarted are:
• Overbraking
• Overvoltage
• Motor thermal overload
• Drive thermal overload
• Undervoltage ( for undervoltage, automatic restart is always active even if it has not been configured).
If any of these faults occur, the fault relay remains closed if automatic restart is configured. Automatic re-
start requires the speed reference and the run direction to be maintained.
Applications
Machines or installations operating continually or without monitoring, where restarting does not present
any danger for personnel or product (e.g., pumps or fans).
Function
The motor will run at low speed (LSP) for a time set by this function when the reference equals zero and
a direction command (FW or RV) is present. The drive will restart when the reference exceeds zero or if
the direction command is cycled. Low speed run time can be adjusted from 0.1 to 25.5 seconds. Setting
this time to 0 deactivates the function (no timed stop).
Factory setting is not active.

Function Compatibility
The functions available on the ALTIVAR 18 drive are limited by the number of inputs and outputs on the
drive and those required by the function. The ALTIVAR 18 drive has three assignable logic inputs and one
assignable logic output (LI1 is defined as run forward and is not reassignable). The following functions re-
quire one logic input:
• Run reverse
• DC injection braking
• Fast stop
• Jog
• 2 preset speeds
