C.E.6 Inside View of Drive Bay D.C. Link Reactor Line Reactor Cooler CPT & Fuses

C.E.7 Vocabulary VFD = Variable Frequency Drive AFD = Adjustable Frequency Drive VSD = Variable Speed Drive ASD = Adjustable Speed Drive,“Inverters”, “A.C. Drives”, "Drive" Note: The above are all the same for our purposes. IGBT = Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor “VFD” will refer to the Drive Unit Proper PWM = Pulse Width Modulation dV/dt = Voltage Rise Time (dU/dt in Europe)

C.E.8 Vocabulary – cont’d IGBT "Soft Switching" Reduces = dV/dt Reducing Motor Spikes (GE/Figi) PWM = Pulse Width Modulation (Used on All Modern VFDs) PID = "Proportional – Integral – Differential" Set Point Controller or Control Scheme

C.E.9 Vocabulary – cont’d Inverter Duty Motor Higher Winding Insulation Dielectric Strength (Breakdown Voltage), Typically 1200 Vac Extra Thermal Capacity by way of:  1.15 Service Factor and/or  Higher Insulation Class (Such as 155°C instead of 130°C) Mitigate Bearing Currents by way of:  Insulated Bearings  Brushes to Drain (Bypass) Currents Around Bearings

C.E.10 Vocabulary – cont’d Constant Torque Rating: For Mills and Take- up Reel Drives and Positive Displacement (Piston) Pumps Where Rated Torque is Needed at Zero (or Near Zero) Speed. Variable Torque Rating: For Fans, Blowers, Centrifugal Pumps & etc. Where the Load Torque Varies with Speed (RPM). E.g.: Low Torque at Zero (and Near Zero) Speeds.

C.E.11 Vocabulary – cont’d Set-Point = Desired Outcome (e.g.: Desired Pressure) System Response May Be One: Oscillatory Under Damped Critically Damped (with or w/o Overshoot) Over Damped

C.E.12 System Response Curves Under Damped Oscillatory (With Overshoot) Over Damped Critically Damped

C.E.13 Required Controller Elements Controller Must be a Full Service Controller Plus a VFD Unit Plus VFD Fuses (at <299% of FLA) Plus Load Side Isolation Contactor (interlocked) Plus Line Side Isolation Contactor Plus By-Pass (Main) Contactor All Fully Rated (Horsepower Rated) Line Reactor - 5% Minimum to: Reduce Line Current Harmonics Reduce Line Transients to the VFD Reduce Capacitor Over-voltage Shutdown due to Line Spikes and/or Surges Note: All line spikes and surges get rectified regardless of where they appear on the Waveform.

C.E.14 Required Controller Elements - cont'd Mechanical Interlock Between Bypass Contactor and VFD Output Contactor to Prevent Back Feeding VFD on Controller Defect since this will cause the Main Fire Pump Circuit Breaker (C/B) to Trip. This causes the Fire Pump to be off line (dead). Means to Lock VFD and Starting Parameters Typical VFD has over 150 settable parameters, many of which will cause damage or no fire water if mis-set PID to Control Pressure Must be able to Control Time Constants and Dynamic Characteristics to Avoid Cycling or Hydraulic System Damage

C.E.24 VFD – Principles of Operation Three Main Sections: Three Phase Rectifier Section (AC/DC) D.C. Filter Section - D.C. Bus Capacitors (Bus Cap’s) Inverter Section (DC/AC): Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) Modern VFD’s use IGBT’s for Inverter Inverter Typically Runs at 2 to 6 Kilohertz

C.E.25 VFD = Motor Running Only (No Motor Starting Region) Typical Motor Torque and Pump Torque Curves

C.E.29 PWM Motor Voltage Waveform with No Filtering

C.E.30 PWM Motor Voltage Waveform with Load (Motor) Reactor

C.E.31 PWM Motor Voltage Waveform with Motor Filter

C.E.32 Motor Electrical Measurements Special Metering Required due to the High Voltage and Frequency

C.E.33 Controller Operation 1) Pressure Switch Trips 2) Contactor R1 and R2 Close 3) Signal VFD to Start 4) Begin Timing for VFD Ready Signal (3-5 Sec.) 5) Begin Pressure Switch Tripped Timing (approx. 20 Seconds) 6) VFD Sends “Drive Ready” Signal -or-

C.E.34 Controller Operation – cont’d 7) Bypass Operation Begins after Restart Delay -- or -- 8) VFD Begins Motor Acceleration 9) VFD adjust motor speed to Achieve Desired Pump Pressure Set-Point 10) Pump Builds Up Sufficient Pressure to Reset the Pressure Switch within 20 Seconds -or- 11) Begin Bypass Operation (Same as # 7 above)

C.E.35 Controller Operation – cont’d 12) VFD Modulates Motor Speed Using its PID to Maintain System Pressure at Desires Set- Point Even with Flow and Suction Pressure Fluctuations -or- 13) Pressure Switch Re-Trips and Pressure Switch Tripped Timer Begins Timing Cycle (Again) 14) After 20 Seconds, By-Pass Operation Begins (same as #7 above) 15) By-Pass Operation is Manual Reset

C.E.36 Bypass Starting Methods Full Voltage (A-T-L) Primary Reactor Soft Starter Some Controllers also Provide Soft Stop (extra circuitry needed for the Soft Stop Function) Some Units will Ramp Up to at Lease an Idle Speed and continue to increase speed until the pressure demand is met.

C.E.37 VFD Starting Characteristics All VFDs provide Soft Starting (Ramp-up) Max. Torque/Current can be set 150% Starting and 110% Running are Typical System Must be Suitable for Bypass Mode Starting Some Controllers also Provide Soft Stop (extra circuitry needed for the Soft Stop Function) Some Units will Ramp Up to at Lease an Idle Speed and continue to increase speed until the pressure demand is met.

C.E.38 Design Considerations Capacitor Overvoltage Shutdown This is a Lockout Condition, Manual Reset is always Required. 480 Vac x = % = 747 Vac. Better VFD's don't shut down until the capacitor voltage exceeds 800 Vac. Lesser ones shutdown at 750 Vac or less. VFD Shutdown Temperature. Better VFDs don't shutdown until 70ºC and can be restarted with no damage or degradation VFD Pollution Degree Requirements must be met. Cooling should be Closed Loop (no Venting Pump Room Air into Controller.

C.E.39 Design Considerations - cont'd VFD OCP Must be Fully Selectively Coordinated with the Main Fire Pump Circuit Breaker (C/B) Said OCP will Most Likely be Fuses Coordination with the is Critical to Avoid Tripping which Kills the Bypass Mode. Fuses (OCP) must trip before the 300% point Fuses must trip in less than 8 seconds at Locked Rotor Current Fuses must still be large enough to hold with the Maximum normal VFD input current including harmonic content. The Fuse curve must never touch the C/B curve to avoid any risk of tripping. Fuse tolerance must also be considered. The plus tolerance on the fuse curve can lead to tripping of the F.P. C/B.

C.E.40 Design Considerations - cont'd Fuses must be calculated for Each and Every controller Hp and Voltage (E.g.: Each nominal FLA). Controller cooling must keep the VFD within is maximum rated temperature. A 50ºC VFD will require the cooling to keep the temperature rise to no more than 10ºC for a Controller Rated Maximum Temperature of 40ºC. A VFD rated at only 40ºC will require de-rating unless refrigeration is allowed.

C.E.41 Design Considerations - cont'd Polution Degree Rating of the VFD must not be exceeded. This will typically require a non- vented NEMA 12 (U.L. Type 12) or better enclosure and cooling means. Internal Controller Wiring in the VFD input path must be sized for the harmonic content of the VFD. Successful Installations the Mfr. to ascertain and check the system hydraulic time constants and set the PID parameters accordingly.

C.E.42 Application Considerations Additional Considerations: * The controller is UL listed for fire pump applications. * The enclosure is rated for NEMA 12. * Maximum ambient must not exceed controller (marked) rating. * Mfr's vent air clearance spaces and service spaces must be adheared to. * The motor must be suitable for use with a variable speed drive. * Motor current draw must not exceed 100% of FLA, even though the motor may have a 1.15 or higher service factor * A gen-set must be suitable for use with a variable speed drive. * The power source must be capable of bypass mode Starting method. * The pump and motor must be rigidly coupled. * The pump and motor must be properly grouted. * A relief valve is required for emergency operation unless system pressure can not be exceed at churn and full speed and max. suction pressure.
