​Safety regulations and operating guidelines

1. Safety standards and warning signs

Adhere to standards: The manual strictly follows international standards such as ANSI Z535.6 (Safety Information Standard), ISO 3864-2 (Safety Label Design), EN 50110 (Electrical Safety Code), etc., to ensure the safety of equipment during design, installation, and operation.

Warning label classification:

DANGER: Refers to a dangerous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury (such as high-voltage electric shock).

Warning: Potential risk of serious injury or equipment damage (such as high temperature surfaces, mechanical compression).

CAUTION: Possible situations that may cause minor injury or equipment malfunction (such as electrostatic discharge, misoperation).

Notice: Non safety related but important operating precautions (such as dust accumulation affecting equipment performance).

Special warning: The electromagnetic field generated during equipment operation may interfere with pacemakers. Warning signs should be marked near the equipment to restrict access by relevant personnel.

2. Seven step safety operation process

To prevent electric shock and arc damage during electrical operations, the manual defines a strict “seven step life-saving principle”:

Homework preparation: Conduct on-site risk assessment, confirm work permit, and equip appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE, such as insulated gloves and arc protective clothing).

Equipment identification: Confirm the equipment status through visual and auditory inspection, set up physical isolation barriers to avoid interference from unrelated personnel.

Power off locking (LOTO): Disconnect all energy supplies, use locks and labels to prevent accidental closing, and implement group LOTO for multi person operations.

Voltage detection: Use qualified voltage detection equipment to verify that there is no voltage after power failure, and calibrate the equipment on a known power source before and after the detection.

Grounding and short circuit: Close the grounding switch or use a portable grounding device to ensure safe discharge of fault current.

Protection of adjacent live parts: Maintain a safe distance, use insulated shielding tools, and avoid contact with exposed conductors.

License confirmation: Check the isolation points and grounding status to ensure that all operators understand the risks before signing the license document.

3. Safety requirements for main circuit breakers (MCBs)

Functional positioning: MCB is the core protection device of the frequency converter, which needs to quickly cut off the main power supply in case of a fault to prevent personnel injury and equipment damage.

Technical parameters:

Breaking time: Protection tripping time ≤ 75 ms (to limit equipment damage), safety tripping time ≤ 500 ms (to ensure personnel safety).

Control mode: The MCB disconnection command needs to come directly from the frequency converter. If it is transferred through PLC/DCS, the system needs to pass SIL 3 certification, and the use of local remote switch interruption disconnection commands is prohibited.

Redundant design: It is recommended to equip with dual independent trip coils or undervoltage coils, combined with the “Circuit Breaker Failure Protection (ANSI 50BF)” function of the upstream circuit breaker, to ensure reliable disconnection in case of a fault.

Installation and commissioning process

1. Transportation and Storage Standards

Packaging requirements:

Land transportation: Wooden pallets (thickness 5 cm, length and width exceeding the cabinet by 30/60 cm)+polyethylene film (0.12 mm thickness), fixed with a winding machine applying 20-38 units of tension.

Sea freight: wooden box+aluminum foil moisture-proof film (three-layer structure, middle layer aluminum foil isolates water vapor), desiccant (in accordance with DIN 55474) placed inside, humidity indicator monitors environmental humidity.

Precautions for handling:

Using a crane or forklift, it is prohibited to directly lift the top of the cabinet, and force must be applied through the bottom lifting ring.

The fork distance of the forklift should be greater than 1500 mm, and the driving speed should be limited to walking speed to avoid tilting more than 30 degrees.

2. Mechanical and electrical installation

(1) Mechanical installation

Basic requirements: The cabinet is fixed to the horizontal floor with M16 bolts, and the bottom sealing plate can serve as a water collection tray to prevent internal water leakage from spreading.

Environmental control: The installation area should be dust-free, and the equipment should be covered with plastic sheeting during construction to prevent dust from entering; Paint damage needs to be repaired with polyurethane coating to ensure anti-corrosion and insulation performance.

(2) Electrical installation

EMC cabling principles:

Cable classification:

Class 1: Sensitive signals (such as 4-20 mA analog signals) require twisted pair shielding, with both ends of the shielding layer grounded.

Class 4: High interference lines (such as motor start stop signals), with a distance of ≥ 600 mm from other cables, laid vertically when crossing.

Shielding grounding: The shielding layer of the power cable needs to be connected to the grounding busbar near the frequency converter. If the cross-sectional area of the shielding layer is less than 50% of the phase conductor, equipotential bonding wires need to be laid in parallel.

High voltage connection:

Using Pfister ®  PLUG P3 series connectors (such as P3SC straight type, P3EC1/2 curved type), code AF01 to ensure correct pairing, cable cross-sectional area of 70-240 mm ², maximum length of 150 m (grid side)/100 m (generator side).

When connecting, ensure that the plug is aligned with the socket and the torque meets the manufacturer’s requirements to avoid overheating caused by poor contact.

(3) Grounding system

Protective grounding (PE): The cabinet is connected to the main grounding grid through bottom M12 bolts, and the cross-sectional area of the grounding conductor is ≥ 95 mm ² (calculated based on a fault current of 16.2 kA and a breaking time of 0.5 seconds).

Functional grounding (FE): Used to discharge the common mode current generated by switch devices, separated from PE, and connected through an independent grounding bar to ensure EMC performance.

3. Debugging and Startup

prerequisite:

Complete mechanical alignment, bolt tightening, and cooling system water injection (deionized water+ethylene glycol).

The electrical connection is correct and the insulation test is qualified (the insulation resistance of cables, transformers, and generators meets the specifications).

Anti exposure activation sequence:

When the device is powered off for a long time and restarted, the control unit heater needs to be started first. When the internal temperature is ≥ 5 ° C and there is no condensation, the water-cooled pump is started for circulating heating. The entire process may last for 12 hours (in a low-temperature environment).

Pre startup inspection:

Confirm that all cabinet doors are closed, door lock switches are functioning properly, and there are no fault alarms (such as when the DC link grounding switch is in the “ungrounded” position and the LED indicator light is off).

Set the key switch to “ON”, the auxiliary power supply (3AC 400V/24VDC) is supplying power normally, and the pressure and flow rate of the water cooling system meet the standards.

Operation and Maintenance Guide

1. Daily operation interface

Local control device (located on the side of CCU):

Emergency stop button: Immediately disconnect the MCB after pressing, block the IGCT pulse, discharge the DC link through VLM, manually reset and clear the fault before recovery.

Key switch: controls the “start disable” or “local/remote” mode switching to prevent unauthorized operation.

Status indicator light: displays grid/generator voltage, grounding status, DC link status, etc. For example, if the “ISOLATOR CLOSED” light is on, it indicates that the DC link has been grounded and can be safely maintained.

IGCT inspection: Dynamic testing is conducted every two years to confirm that the switch characteristics meet the factory standards and avoid faults caused by device aging.

3. Fault diagnosis and handling

Fault classification:

Alarm: Do not interrupt operation. If the cooling water temperature is too high or the fan fails, the cause should be promptly investigated.

Fault: Forced shutdown, such as overvoltage, short circuit, IGCT fault, should be reset and repaired according to the “Fault Manual” (Appendix A09).

Processing procedure:

Record fault code: Obtain fault information through remote interface or local display screen, such as “F001: DC Link Overvoltage”.

Preliminary investigation: Check the power supply voltage, brake resistor connection, VLM function, and confirm whether it is caused by power grid fluctuations or sudden load changes.

Professional maintenance: If it is a hardware failure (such as capacitor rupture, IGCT damage), ABB authorized personnel must replace the components. Non professionals are prohibited from disassembling high-voltage components.
