1.8 Installation instructions

1.8.1 Cooling systems
The KEB COMBIVERT F5/F6 is available for different cooling systems:

Heat sink with cooling fan (mounted version)

The standard version is delivered with heat sink and cooling fan.

Special versions
The dissipation of power loss must be guaranteed by the machine builder.

Flat rear
There is no heat sink at this version. The unit must be mounted on an appropriate ground for
heat dissipation.

Water cooling
This version is dimensioned for the connection to an available cooling system. The dissipa-
tion of the power loss must be ensured by the machine builder. In order to avoid moisture
condensation, the minimum inlet temperature may not decrease the ambient temperature.
The max. inlet temperature may not exceed 40°C. No aggressive coolant shall be used.
Measures against contamination and calcination must be done externally. We recommend a
pressure of 4 bar on the cooling system.

Convection (trough-mount version)

In this version the heat sink is placed externally with a cutout in the control cabinet.

The correct selection and wiring of the motor cable is very important:
• lower abrasion of the motor bearings by leakage currents
• improved EMC characteristics
• lower symmetrical operating capacities
• less losses by transient currents

2.8.5 Connection of a braking resistor

Braking resistors dissipate the produced energy of the motor into heat during
generatoric operation. Thus braking resistors can cause very high surface tem-
peratures. During assembly pay attention to appropriate protection against con-
tact and fire.

The use of a regenerative unit is reasonable for applications which produce a lot
of regenerative energy. Regeneration of excess energy into the mains.

The mains voltage must always be switched off in order to guarantee fire protec-
tion in case of a defective braking transistor.

The frequency inverter remains in operation in spite of switched off power sup-
ply in generatoric operation. An error must be released by external wiring which
switches the modulation off in the inverter. This can occur e.g. at terminals T1/
T2 or via digital input. The frequency inverter must be programmed accordingly
in each case.
No braking resistor may be connected for control type "Basic" at an input rated
voltage of 480 Vac. The response threshold of the braking transistsor (Pn.69) for
all other controls without safety technology (A, E, G, H, M) must be adjusted at
least to 770 Vdc (see annex D).

2.8.5.2 Braking resistor with overheat protection

This circuit offers a direct protection with defective braking transistor (GTR7).The braking
resistor overheats and opens the terminals OH1 and OH2 with defective GTR7. The OH
terminals open the holding circuit of the input contactor, so that the input voltage is switched
off in error case. An error in inverter is released by opening the auxiliary contacts of K3. Re-
generative operation is also secured by the internal fault disconnection. The input must be
programmed and inverted to "external error". Automatic restarting after cooling of the braking
resistor is prevented by the self-holding circuit of K3.

If the PTC evaluation of the motor at terminals T1/T2 is not used, these terminals
can be used instead of the programmable input.

All work may only be done by qualified personnel. The security must be ensured as follows:
• Disconnect power supply at MCCB
• Secure against restarting
• Await discharge time of capacitors (if necessary controlling by measurement at „+PA“ and
„-“, respectively “++“ and „--“)
and „--“)
• Ensure loss of voltage by measurement
A.4.1 Maintenance
In order to avoid premature ageing and avoidable malfunctions, the measures mentioned
below must be carried out in the appropriate cycle.

Pay attention to unusual noises of the motor (e.g. vibrations) as well as of the
frequency inverter (e.g. fan).
Constant
Pay attention to unusual smells of the motor or frequency inverter (e.g. evapo-
ration of capacitor electrolyte, braise of the motor winding)
Check unit for loose screws and plugs and if necessary tighten up.
Clean frequency inverter from dirt and dust deposits. Pay attention especially
to cooling fins and protective grid of the fans.
Monthly Examine and clean extracted air filter and cooling air filter of the control cabi-
net.
Examine function of the fans of the KEB COMBIVERT. The fans must be re-
placed in case of audible vibrations or squeak.

A.4.2 Storage
The DC link of the KEB COMBIVERT is equipped with electrolytic capacitors. If the electro-
lytic aluminium capacitors are stored de-energized, the internal oxide layer is removed slowly.
Due to the leakage current the oxide layer is unrenewed. If the capacitor starts running with
rated voltage there is a high leakage current which can destroy the capacitor.
In order to avoid defectives, the KEB COMBIVERT must be started up depending on the stor-
age period in accordance with the following specification:
Storage period < 1 year
• Start-up without special measures
Storage period 1…2 years
• Operate frequency inverter one hour without modulation
Storage period 2…3 years
• Remove all cables from the power circuit; especially of braking resistor or module
• Open control release
• Connect variable transformer to inverter input
• Increase variable transformer slowly to indicated input voltage (>1 min) and remain at
least on the specified time.
Voltage class Input voltage Residence time
0…160 V 15 min
230 V 160…220 V 15 min

0…280 V 15 min
400 V 280…400 V 15 min
400…500 V 1 h
Storage period > 3 years
• Input voltages as before, however double the times per year. Eventually change capaci-
tors.

After expiration of this start-up the KEB COMBIVERT can be operated on nominal rating con-
ditions or delivered to a new storage.
A.4.3 Cooling circuit
The cooling circuit must be completely empty if a unit shall be switched off for a longer period.
The cooling circuit must be blown out additionally with compressed air at temperatures below
0°C.
A.4.4 Fault correction
A defective device should only be repaired by KEB or an authorized partner. Defective com-
ponents, modules or options may only be replaced by original parts. The device must be
returned in original packaging with a detailed bug report.
A.4.5 Disposal
Defective devices which should not be repaired or which are not safe because of their service
life are applied as electronic waste and must be disposed as hazardous waste according to
the local regulations.

C.1 Installation of water-cooled units
In continuous operation water-cooled inverters are operated with lower temperature than
air-cooled inverters. This has positive effects on lifetime-relevant components such as fan
and DC link circuit capacitors and power modules (IGBT). Also the temperature dependent
switching losses are positively effected. The use of water-cooled KEB COMBIVERT frequen-
cy inverters is offered in the drive technology, because there are process-caused coolants
available with some applications. The following instructions must be observed absolutely
when this units are used.
C.1.1 Heat sink and operating pressure
Design system Material (voltage) Max. operating pres- Connecting duct
sure
2-plate heat sink Aluminium (-1.67 V) 6 bar 0000650-G140

The heat sinks are sealed with sealing rings and posses a surface protection (anodized) even
in the ducts.

In order to avoid a deformation of the heat sink and the damages involved, the
indicated max. operating pressure may not be exceeded briefly also by pressure
peaks.
Pay attention to the guidelines 97/23/EC of pressure units.
C.1.2 Materials in the cooling cicuit
For the screw connections and also for the metallic articles in the cooling circuit which are in
contact with the coolant (electrolyte) a material is to be selected, which forms a small voltage
difference to the heat sink in order to avoid contact corrosion and/or pitting corrosion (electro-
chemical series, see table 1.5.2). An aluminum screw connection or ZnNi coated steel screw
connection is recommended. Other materials must be examined in each case before em-
ployment. The specific case of application must be checked by the customer in tuning of the
complete cooling circuit and must be classified according to the used materials. With hoses
and seals take care that halogen-free materials are used.
Liability for occuring damages by wrongly used materials and from this resulting corrosion
cannot be taken over!

C.1.3 Requirements on the coolant
The requirements on the coolant are depending on the ambient conditions, as well as from
the used cooling system. General requirements on the coolant:
Standards TrinkwV 2001, DIN EN 12502 part 1-5, DIN 50930 part 6, DVGW work
sheet W216
VGB The VGB cooling water directive (VGB-R 455 P) contains instructions
Cooling water direc- about common process technology of the cooling. Particulary the in-
tive teractions between cooling water and components of the cooling sys-
tem are described.
pH-value Aluminum is particularly corroded by lixiviums and salts. The optimal
pH value for aluminum should be in the range of 7.5… 8.0.
Abrasive substanc- Abrasive substances as used in abrasive (quartz sand), clogging the
es cooling circuit.
Copper cuttings Copper cuttings can attach the aluminum and this leads to a galvanic
corrosion. Copper should not be used together with aluminum due to
electro-chemical voltage difference.
Hard water Cooling water may not cause scale deposits or loose excretions. It
shall have a low total hardness (<20°d) especially carbon hardness.
Soft water Soft water (<7°dH) corrodes the material.
Frost protection An appropriate antifreeze must be used for applications when the
heat sink or the coolant is exposed temperatures below zero. Use
only products of one manufacturer for a better compatibility with other
additives.
Corrosion protec- Additives can be used as corrosion protection. In connection with frost
tion protection the antifreeze must have a concentration of 20…25 Vol %,
in order to avoid a change of the additives.

Special requirements for open and half-open cooling systems:

GB - 36
 Annex

Impurities Mechanical impurities in half-open cooling systems can be counter-

acted when appropriate water filters are used.
Salt concentration The salt content can increase through evaporation at half-open sys-
tems. Thus the water is more corrosive. Adding of fresh water and
removing of process water works against.
Algae and myxo- Algae and myxobacteria can arise caused by increased water tem-
bacteria perature and contact with atmospheric oxygen. The algae and myxo-
bacteria clog the filters and obstruct the water-flow. Biocide containing
additives can avoid this. Especially at longer OFF periods of the cool-
ing circuit preventive maintenance is necessary.
Organic materials The contamination with organic materials must be kept as small as
possible, because separate slime can be caused by this
Damages at the unit which are caused by clogged, corroded heat sinks or other obvi-
ous operating errors, leads to the loss of the warranty claims.
C.1.4 Connection to the cooling system
• Screw in connecting duct in accordance with the manual
• The connection to the coolant must be carried out with flexible, pressure-resistant hoses
and secured with clamps.
• Pay attention to flux direction and check tightness !
• The cooling flow must always be started before starting the KEB COMBIVERT.

The connection to the cooling system can occur as closed or open cooling circuit. The con-
nection to a closed cycle cooling circuit is recommended, because the danger of contamina-
tion of coolant is very small. Preferably also a monitoring of the pH value of the coolant should
be installed.
Pay attention to a corresponding cable cross-section at required equipotential bonding in
order to avoid electro-chemical procedures.
C.1.5 Coolant temperature and moisture condensation
The inlet temperature may not exceed 40 °C. The maximum heat sink temperature is 90 °C
depending on the power unit and overload capacity (see „Technical data“). To ensure a safe
operation the coolant output temperature must be 10 K below this temperature.
Due to high air humidity and high temperatures it can lead to moisture condensation. Mois-
ture condensation is dangerous for the inverter, because the inverter can be destroyed by
any resulting short-circuits.

The user must guarantee that any moisture condensation is avoided!

In order to avoid a moisture condensation the following possibilities can be done. The appli-
cation of both methods is recommended.

GB - 37

Supply of temper coolant

This is possible by using heatings in the cooling circuit for the control of the coolant tempera-
ture. The following dew point table is available for this:

Temperature control
The cooling system can be connected by means of pneumatic or magnetic valves. A relay is
frontend. In order to avoid pressure surges, the valves for the temperature control must be
inserted before the cooling circuit. All usual valves can be used. Pay attention that the valves
are faultless and do not clamp.
