1. General information

These instructions are meant to be followed when carrying out the IGBT upgrade of the
ACN6X4 nxR12i frequency converter.
If other required repair or maintenance tasks occur before or during the upgrade, ones that
have not been presented in this instruction, should the service personnel be familiar with the
working methods which are needed to get the required actions done safely without harming
the employee himself or the surroundings. Before starting the upgrade the whole work must
be planned so that the required actions are done according to the safety regulations.

1.1 Safety

WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work on the ACx600 should be carried
out by qualified electricians. Do not attempt any work on a powered ACx600. After switching
off the mains, always allow the intermediate circuit capacitors 5 minutes to discharge before
working on the frequency converter, the motor or the motor cable. The voltage between each
input terminal (U1, V1, W1) and earth must be measured with a multimeter (impedance at
least 1 M ) to ensure that the frequency converter is discharged before beginning work.

All insulation tests must be carried out with the ACx600 disconnected from the cabling.

The ACx600 motor cable terminals are at a dangerously high voltage when input power is
applied, regardless of motor operation. No work on the motor cable should be attempted with
mains power applied.

The brake control terminals (UDC+, UDC-, R+ and R- terminals) carry a dangerous DC
voltage (over 500 V).

There can be dangerous voltages inside the ACx600 from external control circuits when the
ACx600 input power is shut off. No work on the control cables should be attempted when
power is applied to the frequency converter or to the external control circuits. Exercise
appropriate care when working with the unit.

1.2 Preparation work

Clean the area before starting upgrade work; remove all unnecessary items nearby
the work area.
Arrange a clean table close to the work area so that ESD mat and all removed
components can be laid down onto it and ready to install components can be laid
down to be easily available during the work.
Check the delivery of the upgrade kit that all items are undamaged.
Check that all items are included in the upgrade kit, see chapter 1.3
Read through this document in advance and organize all parts and tools before
starting upgrade work.
Assemble boxes for returnable items, assembly instructions provided with the upgrade
kit.
This document describes upgrade work when phase module is out from the cabinet.

1.5 The rule of parallel connected IGBTs in nxR12i ACS600 MultiDrive

NOTE!! Due to the parallel connected IGBTs in each phase module, all
phase modules of the same phase must be upgraded! It is extremely
forbidden to run the drive with one upgraded module only if more than
one phase modules in parallel. There is a very high probability of
serious IGBT failure if this rule is ignored!

In 1xR12i drive, one phase module is minimum upgrade


In 2xR12i drive, two phase modules is minimum upgrade
In 4xR12i drive, four phase modules is minimum upgrade
An example of minimum upgrade marked with red [X] in the pictures 8
and 9.

same phase indicators, as shown in the pictures below. Then it is easier to
follow that IGBTs of the one kit are mounted to the same phase module.

2. Removing the old hardware


2.1 Removing the assembly plate

Pic 11.

Remove the covers of the phase modules.


Note that boards between different phase modules vary. Only V-phase (in the middle)
module has NPOW board and optional NGPS board, picture 11. U- and W-phase
modules are without NPOW or NGPS boards.
These instructions are meant for all phase modules.
Disconnect output busbar bolts of the phase module.
Disconnect DC busbar connections of the phase modules.
Disconnect connectors and fibre optic cable marked in blue from NINT-board or
NXPP.
Open M4 fixing screws of the NINT or NXPP marked in red from the assembly plate.
Pull carefully the assembly plate out together with the NINT/NXPP board and keep it in
a safe place.

compound with stencil (picture 17a).
Fix adapters loosely, first with two diagonal counterbored screws e.g. screws # 7 – 8.
Press slightly with hand on the adapter plate, if Grey Ice and stencil has not been,

Pic.21.New revision NTC-thermistor

Note that there are two revisions of NTC-thermistor, older type, which needs to be
bend, and newer type, which is already bent, so that one does not need any actions
before mounting.
If the NTC is old type, picture 20, bend carefully with pointed pliers the tail of the
thermistor to the 90 degrees angle. Note that the bent must be on the back side of the
thermistor, as it is with the new one in the picture 21.

NGDR-07C, as a pair! Pairs are marked with stickers containing serial number
(picture 22b).
Clean the base plate of the IGBT´s by using soft cloth and industrial alcohol.
Spread thermal compound evenly with rubber spatula or small paint roller (picture

NOTE ESD!
Do not mix NGDR boards! Keep the content of the one packing, IGBT and the

(Picture 28).
Put the insulation part on to the IGBT module like shown in the picture 27a and install
NGDR-07C board with 4pc M4x8 screws to the gate terminals.
The M4 fixing screws of NGDR-07C board must be tightened in following way:
1. First the screws are tightened with LIGHT FINGER TIGHTNESS in sequence 1-
2-3-4, shown in the picture 27b.
2. Then screws are tightened with 0.5 Nm torque in sequence 1-2-3-4.
3. Finally screws are tightened with 2 Nm (final torque) in sequence 1-2-3-4.
Note: due to the fact that the gate control signals are transmitted through the mounting
screws, correct mounting is very important!

4 Finishing the upgrade work


4.1 Testing the drive

Testing without supply voltage


Measure with multimeter at resistance range that any of the DC or output busbars are
not short circuited against the frame.
Measure with multimeter at diode range from the DC-(+) and (-) terminals against the
output terminals (U, V and W). Any of these readings must not indicate 0V.

Testing with supply voltage


Put back the cover of the module and close cabinet doors!
Connect the DriveWindow tool to the NAMC board of the drive
Connect multimeter to the DC-link terminals outside of the frame.
Ensure that it is safe to connect the supply voltage!
Connect supply voltage for the drive.
Check that control panel does not show any fault or alarm messages, if yes disconnect
supply voltage, wait for 5 minutes and then locate the problem source.
Measure DC-voltage level and compare the value with value of the signal 01.10 DC
BUS VOLTAGE, if values are not the same, disconnect supply voltage, wait for 5
minutes and then check the connections again.
NOTE! Ensure that test run is safe to perform!
When the drive indicates normal status, perform a test run.
Monitor at least DC-voltage-, current- and speed signals with DriveWindow tool when
running the drive.
When everything is working fine prepare the drive ready for normal operation.

4.2 Finishing the work area

Clean the surroundings of the drive especially the area close to the cooling air input.
Stick a tag with text “+V991” to the drive unit, one close to the type code sticker and
the other to the cover so that it will indicate at the first sight that upgrade work is done.

5 Working Instruction for thermal compound Grey Ice 4100 LV

Originally used thermal compound type is WPS II (10008000). Because of low viscosity it was
possible to spread without special tools.

The new thermal compound Grey Ice 4100 LV (3AUA0000074768) has been introduced for
ACS 600 IGBT upgrade solutions during 2012.

Pic 52.

The new Grey Ice 4100 LV thermal compound has better long term performance and higher
viscosity than WPS II. Because of high viscosity proper spreading of Grey Ice 4100 LV
requires a good stencil.

Pic 53.

Follow the separate working instruction ACS 600 IGBT upgrade Grey Ice 4100 LV
(4FPS10000048908).
