that the capacitors have fully discharged,
wait 14 minutes after power has been

• Regulator—Controls the rectifier and inverter to
produce the desired ac frequency and voltage.
• Rectifier—Converts the fixed 60 Hz ac voltage input
to dc.
• Inverter—Switches the rectified dc voltage to ac,
creating variable ac frequency (and controlling
current flow, if desired).

TROUBLESHOOTING
THE DRIVE THAT
WORKS IN HAND MODE.
• Before moving on try taking a voltage and current
reading on the input and output of the drive. Both
should be balanced. The output voltage must be
balanced within a volt phase to phase with the motor
connected.
DOES THE DRIVE RUN THE
MOTOR IN HAND?
Questions to Ask About the Problem.
•
•
•
•
•
Did the motor ever run?
Did it have problems when it was running?
What changed since it did run?
Is the problem repeatable?
Does the problem always happen at the same time or
with consistent repeatability?
DOES THE DRIVE RUN THE
MOTOR IN HAND?
• At this point try to run the motor using the hand
start function of the drive.
• Press the hand start key and slowly begin to
increase the speed of the motor by pressing the
plus key.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE DRIVE

• If the drive works the motor up and down in speed
when in the hand mode, the drive is probably good.

Electric Motor Design
460 VAC
60Hz
=
Most electric induction motors were designed for
operation on 3 phase sign wave power – either
50 or 60 Hz.
The input power was balanced in frequency,
phase (120 degrees apart) and in amplitude.
Common mode voltage – the sum of the 3
phases would always equal zero volts.
42
Electric Motor Operation by VFD
+
=
When operated by VFD, the power to the motor is a
series of pulses instead of a smooth sign wave.
The input power is never balanced because the voltage
is either 0 volts, positive, or negative with rapid
switching between pulses.
The Three phases of voltage pulses ensures that the common
mode voltage is never equal to zero and instead is a “square
wave” or “6 step” voltage.
43
Shaft Voltage Readings
44
PWM Drives Cause
1. High frequency transients (dv/dt) can
break down the insulation between
windings and cause corona discharge
arcing which can short out the
windings.
2. Because of the inherent voltage
imbalance and dv/dt, the voltage pulses
are capacitively induced on the motor
shaft and can overcome the dielectric of
the oil film in the motor bearings.
Electrical discharges result in pitting and
fluting damage in the bearing,
breakdown of lubrication, and fluting
failure of the bearing.
Motor Reliability for Inverter Driven Motors
Motor Winding Problems The motor winding
insulation was changed to withstand the transient
voltages and to prevent the corona discharges.
NEMA MG1 specified motor design to meet what
was known as “class F, G or H” insulation, and
“corona resistant wire” was developed.
The problem of electrical bearing damage was
identified in the NEMA MG1 with for motors above
and below NEMA frames
NEMA recommended to use either ceramic
bearings or shaft grounding. Shaft grounding also
protects attached equipment.
46
VFD Induced Shaft Voltages and Bearing
Currents in AC Motors
 VFD induced capacitive voltages from the high switching speed of the pulse
width modulation (PWM) drives discharge through motor bearings and cause
electrical discharge machining (EDM) effect in the bearing race.
 Rotor ground currents generated by PWM Drive will partly flow as rotor
ground current through the bearings of the motor. These currents are caused
by the rotor being connected to common ground with a significantly lower
impedance path then the ground of the stator housing.

NEMA MG1 section 31.4.4.3
Motors below 500 Frame (NEMA 56 to 449T):
More recently…potentially destructive bearing currents have
occasionally occurred in much smaller motors… These drives can
be generators of a common mode voltage which…oscillates at high
frequency and is capacitively coupled to the rotor. This results in
peak pulses as high as 10-40 volts from shaft to ground…
Interruption of this current therefore requires insulating both
bearings.
Alternately, shaft grounding brushes may be used to divert the current
around the bearing.
It should be noted that insulating the motor bearings will not prevent
the damage of other shaft connected equipment.
High Frequency Circulating Currents
in Large AC, DC Motors & Generators
 Induced by the magnetic flux imbalance around the motor shaft from the
stator windings, these currents circulate through the motor bearings.
Circulating currents are a problem in large AC and DC motors of over 100 hp.
 Because these currents circulate through the motor via the shaft and
bearings, the current flow must be either broken or an alternate path
established to prevent bearing failures.

NEMA MG1 section 31.4.4.3
Large Frame Motors (500 frame or larger): …voltages may be
present under sinusoidal operation and are caused by magnetic
dissymmetry's in the construction of these motors…current
path…is from the motor frame through a bearing to the motor
shaft, down the shaft, and through the other bearing back to the
motor frame. This type of current can be interrupted by insulating
one of the bearings.
When VFD is used, the circulating currents described
above increase from 60 Hz to KHz or MHz frequencies
and may effect motors rated at 150 kW (200 HP). This is
referred to as “High Frequency Circulating Current”

current is too much? How much current reduction enough?” IEEE Magazine on

cause of premature bearing damages in Pulse Width Modulation

February 2007: Pump and Systems Magazine “How to Prevent
Electrical Erosion in Bearings” by Daniel R. Snyder, P.E., SKF
USA Inc. “An estimated 50 percent of all electric motor failures
are attributed to bearings, but the bearings themselves are not
usually the root cause. Other forces are at work, such as the
increasingly common problem of stray currents.”

Block D.C.
CAPACITOR
A capacitor is an electronic device which consists of
two plates separated by some type of insulator. A
capacitor's value is commonly referred to in
microfarads, one millionth of a farad. It is expressed in
micro farads because the farad is such a large value of
capacitance.
When a DC voltage source is applied to the capacitor there is an initial
surge of current, then the current stops. When the current stops flowing,
the capacitor is in a charged state. If the DC source is removed from the
capacitor, the capacitor will retain a voltage across its terminals. This
charge can be discharged by connecting the plates together. Generally, if
an AC voltage source is connected across the capacitor, the current will
flow through the capacitor until the source is removed. The exceptions
to the situation, where an AC voltage is applied to a capacitor, are going
to be explained later.

The bipolar junction transistor consists of three layers
of highly purified silicon (or germanium) to which small
amounts of boron (p-type) or phosphorus (n-type) have
been added. The boundary between each layer forms a
junction, which only allows current to flow from p to n.
Connections to each layer are made by evaporating
aluminum on the surface; the silicon dioxide coating
protects the nonmetalized areas. A small current
through the base-emitter junction causes a current 10
to 1000 times larger to flow between the collector and
emitter. (The arrows show a positive current; the
names of layers should not be taken literally.) The
many uses of the junction transistor, from sensitive
electronic detectors to powerful hi-fi amplifiers, all
depend on this current amplification.

EEPROM
Electrically erasable programmable ROM
With normal ROMs you have to replace the chip (or
chips) when new BIOS instructions are introduced.
With EEPROMs, a program tells the chip's controller
to give it electronic amnesia and then downloads the
new BIOS code into it. This means a manufacturer
can easily distribute BIOS updates on floppy, for
instance. This feature is also called flash BIOS, and
you might also come across it in devices like
modems and graphics/video cards.
