1. 480V is factory standard, but can be reconfigured for 380 or 420 Vac by rewiring CPT or preset
at factory per request.
2. For 12-pulse configuration 2 separate inputs at half rated output current are required (balance
deviation +/-10% max).
3. Maximum output voltage cannot exceed input voltage.
4. Output kVA is listed for 480V input and is reduced comparably for lower input voltage levels.
5. 12-pulse drives require a phase-shift transformer that is not included with the base drive.
6. VSG or a separately mounted sine-wave filter is required for all ESP applications.
7. 930 and 1200 Amps VSDs are only available in 12-pulse configurations. It is possible to use a
12-pulse drive with a 3-phase source. See 5.5 Electrical Connections for further information.

• USB Port
• ModBus Communications Port (SCADA Interface)
• Ethernet Port (Supports Wireless Router or Cell Modem)
• Drive Communications Port
• Apollo Sub-System RS-485 Interface (Apollo I/O Board, ESP Downhole Sensor Interface)
3.2 Apollo I/O Board Assembly

The Apollo I/O Board Assembly (Figure 3: Apollo I/O Board Assembly) provides an extended I/O
interface for the Vector Plus Drive. It communicates the information it gathers to the CPU Board via
the Apollo Sub-System RS-485 Communication port. Features include:
• Quantity 8 – 12-bit Analog Inputs (0-5 V, 0-10 V, 4-20 mA).

• Quantity 12 – Digital I/O (can be programmed as either inputs or outputs).
• Quantity 2 – 12-bit Analog Outputs (0-10 V).
• Backspin inputs.
• Voltage and Current Inputs (3 Phase).
If an Apollo I/O Board is required in the Vector Plus drive, it can be installed in a junction box
for control options, providing access to low-voltage circuits without having to enter the main
cabinet Figure 2: Options Junction Box.
The Apollo I/O board assembly is required in applications that exceed the I/O capability in the
Vector PlusTM drive.

5 Installation and Setup
5.1 Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO)
5.1.1 Qualified Personnel

Only electrically qualified individuals should perform electrical work, including measuring voltage. Any
time electrical work is performed, all applicable BHGE and customer policies must be followed. Voltages
levels present in an ESP system can range from low voltage DC to 5,000 volts AC. It is critical to
understand the system configuration to safely take voltage measurements.
5.1.2 Electrical Safety and Measurements
ESPs, H-pump systems, and other motor-powered systems operate on and can generate lethal high
voltage. It is critical all personnel performing any electrical work on related systems fully understand
the task(s) they are performing. Failure to use the proper equipment and PPE when performing
electrical work on related systems can result in severe injury or death.
This drive unit requires and produces potentially lethal voltage levels. Only qualified personnel
shall install and perform maintenance on drives. Failure to comply with the general precautions
may lead to equipment damage, serious personal injury and/or death.
5.1.2.1 Voltage measurements at input & output of VSD

Gloves: Class 0 or better with appropriate flash-rated outer leathers (see
following)
Arc flash gear: Protection per site analysis; if unknown, use minimum of 40 cal/cm2
gear
Meters: Prove VSD input and output circuit dead using direct-contact voltage
meter (CAT III-600V minimum). Always verify meter integrity by
checking a known voltage source before and after proving a circuit
dead. If the VSD was recently energized, prove DC bus capacitance
adequately discharged too (must be below 30VDC). Use of non-
contact meters may provide awareness of unknown voltage sources
and are only recommended for that purpose. Non-contact meters
shall not be used to prove that a circuit is de-energized.
UM-00011
Page 28 of 116
5.1.2.2 Voltage measurements for ESP systems at step-up transformer, vent box, and unknown
auxiliary circuits
Gloves: Class 1 or better with appropriate flash-rated outer leathers (see

following)
Arc flash gear: Protection per site analysis; if unknown, use minimum of 40 cal/cm2
gear
Meters: Prove ESP motor circuit dead using high voltage meter such as the
DVM-80UVK, with minimum 4’ hotsticks. Always verify meter
integrity by checking a known voltage source before and after proving
a circuit dead. Always check for line-to-line voltage, since ESP motors
are typically ungrounded. Use of non-contact meters may provide
awareness of unknown voltage sources and are only recommended
for that purpose. Non-contact meters shall not be used to prove that
a circuit is de-energized.
5.1.3 Existing Installation Awareness
Additional wait time (up to 30 minutes) is required for systems lacking motor
regeneration protection, especially electric submersible pumps without check valves.
Furthermore, isolation of the motor circuit is necessary for ESP systems with permanent
magnet motors. This isolation is achieved by disconnecting the motor lead cable at the
vent box or step-up transformer. Before accessing the motor lead cable, prove the
circuit dead using a medium voltage meter with hot sticks. Wear electrical gloves,
protective clothing, and face shields and use insulated tools while disconnecting and
reinstalling motor lead cable (well-kicks or other phenomena may rotate the motor and
generate electricity). For surface systems, wait at least 5 minutes after removing line
power for the drive’s bus capacitors to discharge, to ensure adequate dissipation.
Always check for unexpected auxiliary circuits added without proper notice and
documentation, using appropriately rated meters. The use of non-contact voltage
sensors may provide an additional level of voltage energy awareness.
Drives have other energy sources than line power. De-energize and prove all
power circuits dead and isolate connections to permanent magnet motors. Failure
to comply may lead to equipment damage, serious personal injury and/or death.
UM-00011
Page 29 of 116
5.1.4 Key Power Circuits to Verify

Reference Figure 19: Key Power Circuits for related verification of de-energized circuits.
LOTO at the utility/generator source must be complete before accessing the drive’s
power junction box. Ideally input power can be removed at a service switch or step-
down transformer. However, pole fuses may need to be removed, requiring the
assistance of qualified/approved personnel. Motor power and isolation can be readily
checked and isolated at the vent box on ESP systems. Connections at the throat of the
step-up transformer may also be used. For installations having permanent magnet
motors, connections at the vent box shall be made only after completing all other
installation tasks and just prior to removing locks and tags. Always check for auxiliary
circuits, especially when unfamiliar equipment is in place. Implement STOP WORK
authority if there is any uncertainty.
Implement STOP WORK authority if there is any uncertainty proving circuits de-
energized. Failure to do so may lead to equipment damage, serious personal injury
and/or death.
Figure 19: Key Power Circuits
5.2 Equipment Handling

The drive is designed to be lifted and moved either from below with a forklift or from above using the
lifting eyes. Angles for lifting straps should not be less than 60° from horizontal; use a spreader bar if
necessary. When lifting from below be aware that the drive’s center of mass is high enough that tipping
can occur, especially after being removed from the shipping pallet. Use caution when moving. Explicit
UM-00011
Page 30 of 116
values of each model’s dimensions, weight, and center of mass are indicated on the outline drawing
included in the document pouch of each drive.
5.3 Equipment Inspection

Upon receipt of equipment a thorough inspection should be conducted before operation, inspect the
following areas:
1. External enclosure for broken welds or hinges, bent corners, doors, or legs
2. Internal enclosure for loose/broken hardware (e.g., covers, fasteners, fans, etc.)
3. All wire terminations for security.
4. If the distance between the motor and the Variable Speed Drive (VSD) exceeds 100 m (330 ft), a drive
with a VSG filter must be used
5. If the unit’s rectifier is greater than 6-pulse, confirm a properly sized and configured phase shift
transformer is present and connected
5.4 Equipment Installation Requirements
5.4.1 Equipment Placement
Surface equipment used in conjunction with Electric Submersible Pumps should be placed in
accordance with American Petroleum Institute Recommended Procedure 11S3 (API
RP11S3). To prevent exposure to explosive gasses and provide adequate access to
equipment the drive system (transformers, VSD, filters, etc.) should be placed at least 50 ft
(15 m) from the wellhead. The main power service should be located no closer than 100 ft
(30 m) from the wellhead and the drive should be placed at least 50 ft (15 m) from the
wellhead. Secure the drive to a surface that is structurally sound, flat, level, and non-
flammable, (like a concrete pad) through the mounting holes in the enclosure base using
only mounting hardware designed for use with the pad material. Figure 20: Base Mounting
Dimensions indicates base dimensions for pad mounting purposes; Table 8: Vector PlusTM
PWM Dimensions and Weights (A) and Table 9: Vector PlusTM VSG Dimensions and Weights
(B) indicate base size (W1/D1) per drive model. A minimum of 6 inches of space should be
maintained on all four sides of the drive to allow sufficient cooling airflow across heat sinks
and fan intakes as well as providing easy access for servicing and cable entry. Service access
locations for low-voltage electrical equipment require 1 meter (3 ft) minimum open
clearance, or as required per local ordinances.
UM-00011
Page 31 of 116
Figure 20: Base Mounting Dimensions
5.4.2 Service Requirements
The Drive is assessed as protective ground class 1 per IEC 61140 and overvoltage category 3
per IEC 60364-4-44 and IEC 60664-1. The drive is designed to be used in T-N networks
(solidly grounded wye source, grounded neutral point). When phase-shift transformers are
used with drives having multiple rectifier sets (12P and greater), it is typically impractical to
obtain a neutral point from the transformer secondary for service grounding purposes. Per
NEC 250.21 and CEC 10-106(2), grounding is not required, but the transformer must be
dedicated solely to the purpose of powering the drive. Furthermore, ground detectors are
required and the system must be marked “Caution: Ungrounded System Operating — 480
Volts Between Conductors”. If installing the drive in other types of grounded systems,
contact your BHGE representative for assistance.
Main service amperage requirements are based on drive kVA and motor load calculations.
An appropriately-sized service disconnect is required between the service source and the
drive. Powering drives from pole-mounted 380/480V transformers is discouraged and
require appropriate transient suppression upstream from the drive’s service entrance to
ensure category 3 service compliance. If the equipment is installed in North America it is
necessary to perform an arc-flash study per NFPA 70E or CSA Z462 and label the equipment
accordingly. To minimize arc-flash protection requirements calculated from the study, avoid
over-sizing the power rating of the system’s service transformer. Furthermore, the short-
circuit current rating of the Vector PlusTM product family is 65 kA at 480 Vac, as bounded by
the electronic-trip circuit breakers used for protecting and powering the drives. Ensure that
the potential short-circuit capacity of the service feeding the drive does not exceed 65 kA.
UM-00011
Page 32 of 116
5.4.3 Grounding and Bonding Requirements—Utility Supplied Service
Correct system grounding and equipment bonding is required to ensure proper

functioning of the equipment’s protective circuits. Grounding and bonding conductors
provide a path to ground for lethal fault currents and voltages. Failure to correctly
ground and bond equipment can lead to equipment damage, personnel injury, or death.
Service Wye point (when available) and enclosures, including the service disconnect switch,
must be connected to a common ground conductor and grounding electrodes. Refer to local
electrical authority for approved grounding electrodes and methods for installation site. System
ground resistance should not exceed 25 Ohms to ground and ideally should be less than 5 Ohms
to ground. Ground resistance checks should only be made by qualified electrical inspection
agencies. A bonding conductor must be connected from the main grounding electrodes to all
enclosures, junction boxes, buildings, electrical pipes, and the wellhead (see Figure 21: Typical
Installation Site Requirements for Utility-Supplied Service). When powering loads the touch
current in the protective earthing conductor of the drive exceeds 3.5 mA a.c. This drive provides
ground connections inside the junction box for connecting bonding conductors. These
connectors are attached to the internal ground bus of the enclosure. The recommended size as
specified per NEC 250.66 for a single-wire bonding connection (per system kVA) is listed in Table
10: Recommended Bonding (Single-wire). Multi-wire service-cable assemblies typically include
“ground” wire that can also be used for the purpose of system bonding.

5.4.4 Grounding and Bonding Requirements—Generator Supplied Service
When a generator unit is used for drive input power, it is highly recommended to use a
12-pulse transformer and VSD or the generator should be sized to at least 300% of the
VSD rating. Failure to follow the installation guidelines for generators will result in
poor performance and/or equipment failure.
• Figure 22: Typical Installation Site Requirements for Generator-Supplied Service shows a typical
generator supplied power setup with grounding and bonding requirements.
• Generator-supplied power systems have the same requirements for grounding and bonding as
utility supplied systems. Grounding electrodes must be installed and a common bonding
conductor connected to all equipment and buildings. When the generator system does not
incorporate a Wye point for a system ground connection grounding is not required, but the
generator must be dedicated solely to the purpose of powering the drive (per NEC 250.21 and
CEC 10-106(2)). Furthermore, ground detectors are required and the system must be marked
“Caution: Ungrounded System Operating — 480 Volts Between Conductors”.
• Use of generators on drives creates other potential operational problems that can be reduced
with correct generator sizing and system design. Generators must be designed to handle the
sub-transient reactance present on VSD applications. Over-sizing the generator by 300%
typically helps to alleviate such problems. An isolation transformer may also improve system
performance, providing protection from floating voltages and a Wye point for an earthing
connection. However, for the added expense, the use of an isolating phase-shift transformer is a
more logical solution.
Ground detection is typically required for phase-shift transformer systems since neutral
grounding may not be feasible.
5.5 Electrical Connections
5.5.1 Main Circuit Terminal Configuration
• Input power is applied to the drive circuit breaker MCCB1 terminals L1, L2, L3 (and MCCB2 L11,
L21, L31 terminals in 12 pulse units).
UM-00011
Page 35 of 116
• Output power connections are made at the output power block terminals T1, T2, and T3. See
Table 11: Vector PlusTM 6 and 12 Pulse Lug Sizes and Table 12: Vector PlusTM Drive
Recommended Cable Sizes1 for applicable lug and wires sizes.
• Presently 0930A and 1200A drives are not offered with a 06P input circuit breaker. However, a
12P jumbo drive can be used with a 3-phase source, but care must be taken to provide balanced
wiring. The outline/installation drawing and schematic should be referenced for additional
details.
All phase wires should be the same length & size and connected as follows:
o Source L1 (4X wires) to VSD L1 (2X wires) and VSD L11 (2X wires)

5.5.2 Accessible Live Components
With all normal access points of the drive covered (as designed), there are not any exposed
energized components or surfaces. However, all internal components and surfaces should
be considered as potentially lethal when the drive is energized. Accessing the inside of an
energized drive is strongly discouraged and should only be done so by qualified personnel
wearing appropriate PPE.
The junction box is not locked by the action of the operator(s) and an added lock is
recommended for further protection. The bus bars extending from the circuit breaker(s) are
exposed when the j-box door is open (reference Figure 23: Potentially Exposed Energized
Components and Surfaces)

5.5.3 Control Power Transformer Configuration
Vector PlusTM drives leave the factory preconfigured to operate at 480V +/- 5% line voltage. If
field conditions require operation at lower voltages, wiring at the CPT primary must be
modified to ensure drive function and reliable operation. Recommended tap selections are
indicated in Table 13: CPT Voltage Tap Selection Versus Line Voltage. Tap locations on the
CPT are indicated in Figure 24: CPT Voltage Tap Selection.
CPT primary fuses are sized with the ability to operate at all voltage taps. However, if
nuisance tripping occurs while tapped for lower line voltage, fuses F1 and F2 can be replaced
as indicated per Table 13: CPT Voltage Tap Selection Versus Line Voltage.

5.5.4 Motor Requirements
• Surface Motors
PWM drives can typically be used to power surface motors as long as the motor is located
within 100 m (330 ft) of the drive. Longer distances will likely require filtering, contact your
BHGE representative if assistance is needed. The motor must be rated as “inverter duty” to
ensure longevity of motor windings and bearings. The motor’s rated current must be less
than the output capacity of the service source and drive to ensure trouble-free performance.
• Submersible Motors
VSG drives or PWM drives with supplementary sine-wave filters must be used to power
submersible pump motors due to vast system cable lengths. VSG drives are equipped with
filters that remove the voltage transients of the drive’s fundamental PWM output. Step-up
transformers are typically included to reduce losses in the cable linking power to the motor.
The motor’s rated kVA must be less than the output capacity of the service source and drive
to ensure trouble-free performance.
UM-00011
Page 39 of 116
• Motor Overload
Note that the drive will not run until a minimum group of parameters have been set (see 6.2
Drive Startup. The motor’s nameplate current (or application rating) must be entered in the
“Motor Overload” parameter. For ESP applications, entering the appropriate “DHXFormer
Ratio” allows the drive to correlate motor current. When an output transformer is not a part
of the system, the transformer ratio should be set to “1.00”
• Motor Underload
For ESP motors it is important that the pump is passing well fluids to help cool the motor
string. Low current typically indicates inadequate pumping and cooling. The “Motor
Underload” parameter must be set to a “site-appropriate” value to properly invoke this
protective feature. If this feature is not needed, use a value 10% lower than the no-load
motor current rating. See 6.2 Drive Startup about details for entering this parameter.

6 Quick Start Guide

This section will guide you through the drive configuration for a basic BHGE ESP installation. See the Apollo User
Manual (UM-00019) and Vector Plus™/Apollo Communications Manual (UM-00014) for more complex configurations.
6.1 Pre- Startup Checks

1. Remove and lockout incoming power before connecting the drive (see section 5.1).
2. Verify the drive is properly grounded.
3. Do a complete visual inspection, checking for loose or broken wires.
4. Make sure all internal and external fans turn freely and do not bind.
5. Connect the service power (L1, L2, L3 on 6 pulse drives and L11, L21, L31 on 12 pulse drives) to the main
input circuit breaker of the drive.
Ensure service power is connected to the incoming power terminals. Connecting the input power to the
output terminals of the drive can cause severe damage to the drive.
6. Verify the output of the drive is disconnected (T1, T2, T3). Make sure the main drive circuit breaker(s)
switch is in the “Off” position and all remote start signals that may be present are defeated.
7. While dressed in appropriate PPE and equipped with properly rated measuring equipment, turn power on
at the service disconnect and measure incoming voltage. Check the voltage phase-to-phase and phase-
to-ground and ensure that the voltages are in range before closing drive’s circuit breaker. The voltage
should be:
480V – 432 < Vpp < 528; 249 < Vpn < 305;
420V – 378 < Vpp < 462; 218 < Vpn < 267;
380V – 432 < Vpp < 528; 197 < Vpn < 241;

7. No-load checks should be performed to verify proper operation of the drive before connecting the output
of the drive to its load (e.g., step-up transformer, motor, etc.). If the drive output connections are already
disconnected skip steps 7-a through 7-d; otherwise, the steps of the no-load check are:
a. Remove and lock out incoming power to the drive.

b. Wait at least five minutes after removing power and measure the dc bus voltage to confirm a safe
level of voltage using a volt meter set to read dc volts with the black lead connected to (-) terminal
and the red lead connected to (+31) terminal.
c. Disconnect the drive output connections.
d. Restore power to the drive.
e. From the Settings Screen, adjust the frequency reference to the minimum frequency.
f. Press the start button.
UM-00011
Page 47 of 116
g. Navigate to the Home Screen and check the output voltage.

h. From the Settings Screen, adjust the frequency reference to the maximum frequency.
i. Check the output voltage as it should be equal to the incoming voltage and approximately the
nominal input voltage at maximum frequency. Additionally, it should be approximately half of that
value at minimum frequency depending on set up of voltage or frequency.
j. Press the Stop button.
k. Press the Settings function button repeatedly until the No-Load Test Mode setting is visible and set to

n. Connect/reconnect the motor or transformer leads to output terminal block T1, T2, T3. Make sure the
drive output connections are tightly connected before continuing.
6.3 Startup Checks

1. Once the drive setup is completed and checked without a load connected, the drive is ready for startup.
The startup process is:
a. From the Home Screen, press the Settings function button and adjust frequency reference to the
desired operating frequency.
b. Press the Start button on the HMI.
c. With the drive running, check the output voltage and output current to verify they are within the
limits of the given application.
2. On Vector Plus drives the heat exchanger relay is controlled by HMI Relay 2 (on the Apollo HMI). When the
temperature (as measured by the HMI) Exceeds 50°C Trigger 144 “Temp>HeatExOn” is SET causing
Trigger 147 “RunHeatExchange” to be SET which closes HMI Relay 2. The relay will open when the
temperature goes below 43° C. HMI Relay 2 connects to the external relay using J24 pins 2 & 3.
To Test the circuit:
• Go to Main Menu/Page 2 (right arrow to go to Page 2).
• Select “Advance Manual Config” and use the right arrow to find “HeatExchange On”. (Press the right
arrow 8 or 9 times).
• Select “HeatExchange On” and set the Value to 20° C. This should cause the heat exchanger fan to turn
on.
• Set the value back to 50° C, the fan will turn off.

identify what is keeping the drive from starting. As shown in Figure 41: Relevant Triggers
Screen the drive executed a shut down and changed states to “Locked Out” due to an
underload. The underload is now clear as the underload trigger can only be active when the
drive is running., Pressing the Start button should start the drive startup sequence. The data
displayed on-screen includes:
• Drive Status – The current state in which the drive is operating
• Relevant Trigger – The fault which triggered the change in drive state, each relevant trigger
consists of a trigger name, state and detail. The trigger name simply states the fault that initiated
the trigger. The trigger state can either be Clr (clear) or Set (set). Clear status means the condition
that caused the trigger is currently not present, whereas Set means the condition causing the
trigger is still present. Note that a trigger is Clear if it is not enabled in the current drive state.
Trigger detail follows the trigger state and describes how the trigger is affecting the drive. Table
33: Trigger Detail and Table 34: Relevant Triggers Screen Keypad Functions are comprised of
common trigger details and their meanings.

9 Communications
The Vector Plus™ VSD Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) communicates over both serial (RS-232/RS-
485) and Ethernet connections. This section provides the information needed for basic serial SCADA communications.
A comprehensive mapping of control, configuration, and data acquisition registers is available. Refer to the Vector
Plus™/Apollo Communications Manual (UM-00014) for full details.
9.1 Serial SCADA

The Vector Plus™ Drive supports SCADA over RS-232 and RS-485 communications channels using the
Modbus RTU communication protocol.
Standard SCADA ports include Com2 (J17) and Com5 (USB to Serial Adapter). By default, Com2 is RS-
232, but can be used as RS-485 by installing P/N 800638, Expansion Port Module RS-485. Com5 requires
a P/N 197349 USB to Serial Adapter.

9.3 HMI WIFI Interface

Vector Plus drives built after August, 2017 include a WIFI interface. Earlier releases have a small yellow
WIFI router mounted to the door inside the drive. Later releases will have the WIFI built onto the
Apollo HMI control board. See images below to determine which type is installed on your Vector Plus.
Figure 50: External WIFI router Figure 51: WIFI module on Apollo HMI
(WIFI module and selection jumpers are boxed)
The WIFI interface allows personnel to access the drive wirelessly when within range. The range
depends on the obstacles in the area but will usually exceed 50 ft.
To use the remote user interface over WIFI:

1. While close to the Vector Plus, use your computer’s WIFI connection utility to connect to the
WIFI named “Apollo”. The default connection password is “vectorplus”. Note that the
password is 1 word, all lower case.
2. Use your browser to navigate to 192.168.2.101/rui.html.
The Remote User Interface closely resembles the operation of the local keypad. The drive commands
(e.g., monitoring, configuration, control, etc.) are the same as through the drive keypad.
UM-00011
Page 78 of 116
Figure 52: Remote User Interface
• ManualStartOnly must be set to False to start the drive from the Remote User Interface.
• The Remote User Interface uses a high bandwidth connection between the controlling computer
and the drive. Redrawing of screens can sometimes take a few seconds. When initializing, the
Remote User Interface will display a green screen for several seconds before drawing the Apollo
screen.
• The Remote User Interface uses Adobe Flash. Visit adobe.com to install the Flash Player if it is
not already installed on your computer.
UM-00011
Page 79 of 116
It is recommended that you change the WIFI connection password to secure your drive from
unauthorized access via the WIFI interface. The procedure for changing the connection password for
the two WIFI options is shown below.
External Router Password Change Procedure
Connect to the Apollo WIFI network. The default

connection password is “vectorplus”. Start a
browser and navigate to 192.168.2.1.
Login with the router password “v+routerpass”. Click on Wireless Settings.
Reconnect to the network using the new

connection password.1
Change the password as desired.

Click Submit.
Wait for about 1 minute.
UM-00011

It is sometimes difficult to connect to a WIFI network stored in your computer if the password has
changed. If you experience trouble reconnecting to the WIFI, have your computer “forget” the network
and then try reconnecting.
In Windows 10, navigate Settings (just above the power off icon in the Start menu) -> Network &
Internet -> Wi-Fi -> Manage known networks. Select the Apollo network and then click Forget.
Please note the new connection password you entered. You will not be able to connect to the WIFI
Interface without this password.
• If Vector Plus drives are placed in close proximity to one another, their WIFI interfaces can
interfere with each other. In this situation, it is advised to modify the WIFI Network Name (SSID)
to different values. We recommend using Apollo-<some designator that refers to the pumping
system to which the drive is attached>. Use the WIFI connection password procedure shown
above but instead / also change the Network Name (SSID) field. Note that if you have the WIFI
Module, you will need to click the top Apply button after changing the Network Name (SSID).
• The WIFI interface cannot be used in conjunction with the Apollo HMI network port. If the network port
is to be used for SCADA, the WIFI interface must be disabled. To disable the WIFI interface and allow
for network SCADA:
1. Follow all Lock Out / Tag Out and safety procedures.
2. Open the drive door and remove the plastic cover from the Apollo HMI.
3. If the drive has the external router, simply unplug the router from the Apollo HMI.
Or
If the drive has the WIFI module, move the 4 jumpers outlined in the image above to the
position closest to the top edge of the Apollo HMI.
4. Plug the network cable from the SCADA network into the Apollo HMI network port.
5. Replace covers and close door.
6. Power up drive.
7. Configure Apollo for use with the SCADA network.

10 Permanent Magnet Motors (PMM)

Vector Plus drives are capable of running permanent magnet motors using open-loop vector control.
Drives must be sized appropriately for the motor load and cable losses, and field service briefs are
available for this purpose on BHGE’s SharePoint site. Proper software must be loaded on the Yaskawa
power module and Apollo HMI to leverage BHGE’s exclusive setup algorithms for BHGE’s motors. This
section explains the steps to set up the PMM drive parameters to run an ESP PMM application
Setup of PMMs requires access into the drive and transformer cabinets where lethal voltages
are present. Only qualified personnel shall perform this procedure. The high voltage used by or
generated by the drive and motor may cause injury or death.
10.1 Literature References

10.5 PMM Troubleshooting
10.5.1 Safety
10.5.1.1 Qualified Personnel

Only qualified personnel should configure drives for operation with PMMs, since
enclosure and transformer access is likely. Training is available for those with
appropriate prerequisite credentials. Contact your BHGE representative for
further information.
Activity pertaining to PMM setup and configuration shall only be performed

by qualified technicians with proper PPE, employing proper LOTO
techniques, and using appropriate equipment. The high voltage used by or
generated by this equipment may cause injury or death.
10.5.1.2 Lock-Out Tag-Out

Reference section 5.1 Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) for specific details. Before
accessing the inside of the drive cabinet or transformer throat, be sure to remove
all sources of power and exercise lock-out tag-out procedures. Before freely
accessing the inner cabinet, verify that all potential energy sources have
dissipated by measuring DC bus voltage (must be below 30VDC). Additional wait
time (up to 30 minutes) is required for systems lacking motor regeneration
protection, especially electric submersible pumps without check valves.
Furthermore, isolation of the motor circuit is necessary for ESP systems with
permanent magnet motors. This isolation is achieved by disconnecting the motor
lead cable at the vent box. Before accessing the motor lead cable, prove the
circuit dead using a medium voltage meter with hot sticks. Wear electrical gloves
and use insulated tools while disconnecting and reinstalling motor lead cable
(well-kicks or other phenomena may rotate the motor and generate electricity).
Always check for unexpected auxiliary circuits added without proper notice and
documentation, using appropriately rated meters. For additional circuit
awareness, the use of non-contact voltage sensors is also recommended.
10.5.2 PMM Operating Issues
The following issues appear to be the most common when commissioning PMM
systems. Many of these issues are also common to standard ESP induction motor
systems.
10.5.2.1 Failure to Start
If a PMM will not start, the following is a troubleshooting guideline. It is recommended to

follow these steps in the order listed.
UM-00011
Page 92 of 116
1. Review the Apollo Event Log and Relevant Trigger screens for clues to the problem.
A. If the system attempted to start but faulted, the Event Log will include the fault
that caused the shutdown. The only PMM specific fault is V7 Fault STo –
indicating that the motor lost synchronization with the drive. From the PMM
Home Screen, press the Events soft-key (F4) to access the Event Log.
B. If the system did not attempt a start, the Relevant Trigger screen will display
the trigger(s) that prevented the system from starting. From the PMM Home
Screen, press the Events soft-key (F4) and then the Triggers soft-key (F4) to
display the Relevant Triggers screen.
2. Ensure that all drive control parameters are not interfering with operation of the
equipment. Examples include:
A. An overload set point being below the motor operating point
B. An underload set point above the motor operating point
C. Temperature limits above or below the motor / intake temperature operating
values
D. Intake or discharge pressure limits above or below the operating values
3. Validate the drive and Apollo firmware are the correct versions per FSB-020722.
4. Re-confirm the Apollo entries are correct.
A. The nameplate HP and voltage should be entered at 3600 rpm, not the
application required values.
B. The power cable resistance will increase due to the increased temperature of
the well. It may take some time for equilibrium to occur, especially if in a hot
well. If having issues, remeasure this value to ensure it did not change from the
initial reading.
a. It is expected that most of these values will range from 2 to 10 ohms.
Values significantly below or above these values may indicate an issue with
the readings or the measuring equipment.
C. Ensure the transformer tap setting was calculated and then chosen correctly
per FSB-020722.
5. Verify the physical step-up transformer tap settings match those from the
calculations performed.
6. Verify that the drive rated current is not being exceeded. As the output voltage of
the drive may have to be de-rated to prevent the voltage from exceeding the limits,
the drive current limits may be reached prior to expected if basing on a
conventional induction motor application.
7. Make sure the equipment is not placed in a significantly deviated section. The
bending on the equipment could create a bind that would prevent the unit from
starting.
8. If the drive output voltage is within 20 volts of the input voltage, tap the
transformer to a higher setting (such as 1 or 2 settings up) and re-enter these
values in the drive.
10.5.2.2 Nuisance Restarts or Power Failures

A common issue that can occur with both PMM and induction motors are nuisance
drive faults and trips. There are many reasons that these can occur. It is important to
evaluate why these are happening as they can also indicate potential well or
equipment issues that will need to be addressed. The following guidelines should be
followed in order.
1. One of the most frequent reasons for system restarts is due to an equipment
operating value going beyond a pre-set threshold for that value in the drive (such
as a current or temperature limit).
UM-00011
Page 93 of 116
2. Review the Apollo Event Log for clues to the problem. The Event Log will include
the fault that caused the shutdown. The only PMM specific fault is V7 Fault STo –
indicating that the motor lost synchronization with the drive. From the PMM Home
Screen, press the Events soft-key (F4) to access the Event Log.
3. If the drive output voltage is within 20 volts of the input voltage, it will likely shut
down. The PMM uses a special drive control algorithm that is constantly changing
the output voltage of the drive. Due to this, it is important that the maximum
output voltage be sufficiently low to accommodate these voltage changes. FSB-
020722 details the recommended maximum voltage. If this is still insufficient,
move the tap settings up 1-2 spots and re-enter the new tap ratio in the drive
parameters.
4. Verify that the drive and step up transformer are adequately sized for operation
with the PMM. The available KVA of the drive will be reduced with the reduced
output voltage required for operation. The drive current will be the limiting factor.
5. If the incoming voltage to the drive is too high (or low), this may affect the ability of
the drive to operate properly. This issue will also affect operation of induction
motors.
6. As the equipment and cable operates, it will increase in temperature. This increase
in temperature will change the system resistance values. Verify the phase to phase
resistance and re-enter in the drive parameters if changed.
7. Ensure that the actual tap ratio in the step-up transformer is entered correctly in
the drive setup parameters.
8. Verify the correct motor nameplate information is entered in the drive setup.
These values should be entered into the drive from the nameplate at 3600 rpm, not
the values required for the given application. The drive uses the nameplate
information to calculate many parameters and the wrong values entered here will
affect those calculations.
10.5.2.3 Lack/Loss of Production
Many of the same issues that cause reduced or loss of production in induction motors
affect PMM’s in the same manner. Examples of issues that could occur include: gas
locked, plugged, eroded, corroded, or spinning pumps; broken shafts; leaking
production tubing; changes in well performance / inflow; pump off; closed surface
valves; undersized equipment (surface and downhole); false starts; etc.
Data of the details around the loss or lack of production are vital for making an
accurate assessment of the causes. The following are some recommendations for the
evaluation of each of the primary scenarios.
Initial Startup
One of the first things to understand is whether or not the unit has produced any fluid
in the first place. If no or limited production is observed during an initial startup:
1. Verify no valves are closed. If a valve is closed, it is expected that the pump load
will be equivalent to the shut-in load for the given pump configuration and
considering the fluid properties. Keep in mind that the valve may be located
significantly downstream from the well head.
2. Verify the unit is actually spinning. If a false start occurs, the unit may appear to be
running but will be pulling extremely low current (such as 3-5 amps on the 38-
amp motors) and the drive will be putting out very low voltage. The drive has an
UM-00011
Page 94 of 116
optimization algorithm such that if no load is present (from not spinning) it will
reduce the output voltage of the drive significantly. If this occurs, the unit will
need to be restarted. Setting an appropriate underload setting will help to
mitigate any issues that could result from this situation.
3. If the motor has significantly reduced current from what is expected, this may
indicate a missing coupling or a gas lock situation. At startup, the load should be
the highest as the pump will generally be operating further on the right-hand side
of the pump curve where the load requirement is the highest.
4. Verify that the pumps are capable of surfacing fluid. Without a sufficient quantity
of stages, the pumps will not be able to surface fluid. Before speeding up the
equipment to higher speeds, check the equipment sizing to determine the
operation limits to avoid a shaft breakage. As the speed of the equipment is
increased, the pump load increases with the cube of the speed. Due to this,
increasing the speed will increase the pump load dramatically.
5. Evaluate whether there may be a leak in the production tubing. If there is a leak,
the pumps will likely be operating on the right-hand side of the pump curve and
the load on the motor will be high as the fluid is recirculating.
6. Particularly in new, recently completed or re-worked wells, the pump may be
plugged (although many wells have long histories of these issues). To help avoid
these issues, it is recommended to gradually draw the well down rather than
creating sudden changes in the reservoir.
7. Verify the pump intake pressure is sufficient for production. If the pump has too
high of a flow rate for the well or if the column of fluid is full of foam, it may pump
off the well quickly and limit the ability to have production.
After Initial Startup

In other cases, production may be reduced or lost after a period of production. The
cause of these situations may be the same as during initial startup. In these
situations:
1. Evaluate whether there may be a leak in the production tubing. If there is a leak,
the pumps will likely be operating on the right-hand side of the pump curve and
the load on the motor will be high as the fluid is recirculating.
2. Determine if there is a closed valve. With the installation of new facilities or
facility upgrades, it is common for a valve to be shut without properly notifying the
teams upstream of that valve location. If a valve is shut, the pump load is
expected to be similar to the shut-in load on the pump curve considering the age
of the pumps and the fluid properties being pumped.
3. Verify the pump intake pressure is sufficient for production at the given
equipment operating speed. If the unit is being pumped off, the unit will need to
be slowed down (providing the pump lift is sufficient for the given pump stage at
the new lower speed). If the pump has too high of a flow rate and not enough
stages to slow it down, the system will have to be re-sized to address this
situation.
4. A broken shaft and a gas locked pump may initially have similar symptoms. The
load on the motor will decrease dramatically both with the loss of connection to
the pump or with the loss of production due to pumps gas locking. To determine
the situation, it is recommended to slow down the equipment for a period (such
as a few minutes) and then speed the equipment back up (and repeat a few times
as necessary).
UM-00011
Page 95 of 116
If the load returns, then the unit was likely gas locked. If it stays consistent
regardless of what is tried and is very low (well below the shut-in loading of the
pump), then there is either a broken shaft or the pump is very worn out and no
longer able to produce fluid. It is important in these evaluations to ensure the
motor temperature limits are not exceeded as no fluid may be passing by the
equipment to allow for cooling.
The “Gas Hawk” drive mode is available for use with the PMM.
5. If a pump has eroded or otherwise lost performance over time, the equipment
speed will have to be increased in a corresponding manner to maintain the same
intake pressure.
6. In some cases, wells or surface equipment in the area may interact with the well
in question. It is important to evaluate the trends in the data and determine if any
patterns are occurring. Some patterns may coincide with a local rod pump timer
or surface facility operation. Broad changes in the intake pressure where the
pressure cycles both up and down regardless of equipment operating speed may
indicate this issue is occurring. It also may indicate gas slugging is occurring. Gas
slugs often occur in short cycles such as every 7 to 15 minutes. Interactions with
other wells may trend over several hours of operation.
7. Verify the unit is actually spinning. There may be events that occur that make the
unit appear to be running. In these cases, the motor will be pulling extremely low
current (such as 3-5 amps on the 38-amp motors) and the drive will be putting out
very low voltage. The drive has an optimization algorithm such that if no load is
present (from not spinning) it will reduce the output voltage of the drive
significantly. If this occurs, the unit will need to be restarted. Setting an
appropriate underload setting will help to mitigate any issues that could result
from this situation.
10.5.2.4 Data Collection

If attempts at correcting the issues observed during attempted starting or running are
not resolved by the guidelines in this document, the following information will be very
important to provide to the subject matter experts that can help identify a corrective
action.
- Before proceeding further, collect a drive download on a USB thumb drive.

Get the archive files as this will contain the drive information.
- Additional information to gather (if available) when trying to identify a solution

over the phone includes:
o Failure to start:
▪ Drive fault information
▪ Description of drive current, voltage, rpm during start attempt
▪ Transformer ratio
▪ Cable type
▪ Phase to phase resistance
▪ Setting depth
▪ Well history (if available, such as solids/scale production)
▪ Intake pressure
o Failure to produce fluid (with unit appearing to be running):
▪ Drive current and voltage
▪ Motor rpm
UM-00011

▪ Well history
o Repeated power failures or trips
▪ Drive fault/shutdown information
▪ Drive current and voltage
▪ Incoming power information (such as voltage on input of drive), to be
measured by qualified technicians with appropriate PPE and test
equipment
▪ Note any significant changes in operation (such as variations in
temperature and pressure) before the trip occurred
10.5.2.5 Recommended Control Limits

While most of the drive settings are similar to the induction motor lines, there are
some differences. The following outlines the recommendations and requirements
specific to the PMM.
1. Temperature: The 375 PMM is limited to an internal winding temperature of

356°F. In no cases should the temperature limits of the drive be above this value
as serious damage to the motor may occur (such as demagnetized rotors or
burned stator insulation). The actual set points should vary on a case by case and
be based on the expected heat rise in the given well. It is typical to set the upper
limit 25 – 50F above the maximum expected temperature and to provide a few
minutes delay should the limit be occasionally reached (such as due to gas). If
temperatures are consistently being seen above what is expected, it may indicate
issues such as scale depositing on the equipment.
Note: All 375 PMM’s are shipped with winding thermocouples. If these are
connected backwards, the temperature of the motor will read as less than the
temperature of the well.
2. Overload: The same recommendations for induction motors apply to PMM’s for
overload. A general rule of thumb is 20% greater than the expected operating load
but no greater than the FLA rating of the motor.
3. Underload: For wells with low gas, it is recommended to set the underload at just
above the shut-in load for the given pumps considering the fluid properties. For
wells with known gas interference issues, the underload can be set down to
approximately 40% of the expected load value.
4. Ramp time: The drive has a default startup setting for the ramp time. For other
times the drive uses the entry provided by the user. The default 30 second ramp
rate is recommended for the PMM (often 5-10 seconds is used for induction
motors).
5. Operating speed: The PMM is rated to operate between 1800 and 4500 rpm.
RPM is used rather than Hz because the 4-pole PM motors run at half the speed of
a 2-pole motor at the same drive frequency.
6. Intake pressure: This will be application specific based on well or customer
requirements. Ensure that the well is not being pumped off when entering this
value. It is important to also consider the effects of gas on the system and the
amount of gas that will liberate from the well fluid as the well is pumped down.
7. Restart timer: As the PMM generates much more voltage due to backspinning of
the equipment, it is recommended to give a generous amount of time before a
restart is allowed to ensure that all backspinning has stopped. If a check valve or
UM-00011
Page 97 of 116
automatic diverter valve is used, the time for this may be significantly reduced as
no back flow should be occurring through the pumps if the valve or ADV is
functioning properly.
10.5.3 Special Drive Faults

If the configuration results in a Drive Max Output Voltage (DriveMaxVolts) that
exceeds 450V, the drive can’t be started and the following fault screen will appear
when the Start button is pressed.
CalcMaxVoltsHi indicates that the

DriveMaxVolts setting is too high for stable
operation.
If this occurs, please verify / correct the

following parameters.
In the PM Motor Setup menu:

• Downhole Transformer Ratio
• PM Rated HP
• PM Rated Voltage
• PM Surface Ph-Ph Resistance
In the Config Drive Settings menu:

• Max Speed
If all the parameters are correct and the CalcMaxVoltsHi trigger is still SET, please
verify that you have calculated the proper transformer tap. To choose the most
appropriate transformer ratio for PMM applications, please refer to Field Service
Brief FSB-020722.
Note: the following menus and parameters should only be modified by the
advance operators.
Disabling Motor Parameter Calculation

Automatically Apollo will calculate the motor parameters required to drive the
PMM. If fine tuning or troubleshooting is required, the motor parameters can be
input manually.
Note: Before changing any motor parameter, the motor-parameter auto

calculation should be disabled (otherwise any change in the motor parameters
will be ignored).
To disable this setting, navigate to:
Home-Settings-MenuPMM Motor SetupNext PagePM Motor Model

ParamsPMRunMtrModelOn/Off(F3) F4 ”Yes” to STOP trigger.
UM-00011
Page 98 of 116
Now any changes in the motor parameters located at “Home-Settings-

MenuPMM Motor SetupNext PagePM Motor Model Params” can be
changed by the operator.
Accessing PMM Tuning Parameters

Use the following path to access and modify the Internal control loop gains:
Home-Settings-MenuPMM Motor SetupNext PagePM Motor Tuning
Parameters. Note: The parameters located in this menu should work for most
applications and they should only be modified by a trained expert.
Disabling the Automatic Negative ID

The Negative-ID parameter helps to obtain the most optimum voltage for the
running conditions. Apollo will automatically select this value based on the
frequency and running load.
Fine tuning can be achieved by the operator, whom can set the Negative-ID to the
desired value.
Before making any change in the negative ID, Apollo should be stopped from using
its Negative-ID optimizer. To stop or enable the Negative-ID optimizer, navigate to
the following menu: HomeDataNext PagePermanent Motor
OptimizationPMRunLoadOptSelectOn/Off
Disable Optimizer will read PMRunLoadOpt "Clr-Not In Use". If the drive is not
running, the PMRuanLoadOpt will read "Clr-Not Enabled". PMRunLoadOpt "Set"
indicates that the optimizer is running.
Note: The value on the PMNegativeId% will be used by the drive if the “optimizer”
is disabled.
This parameter can be modified in the “PM Motor Tuning Parameters” Screen
located at Home-Settings-MenuPMM Motor SetupNext PagePM Motor

11 Maintenance
11.1 Safety
11.1.1 Qualified Personnel
Only qualified personnel should access, maintain, or repair drives. Training is
available for those with appropriate prerequisite credentials. Contact your BHGE
representative for further information.
Activity pertaining to cleaning, service, and repairs shall only be performed by

qualified technicians with proper PPE, employing proper LOTO techniques, and
using appropriate equipment. The high voltage used by or generated by this
equipment may cause injury or death.
11.1.2 Lock-Out Tag-Out

Reference Section 5.1 Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) for specific details. Before
performing maintenance, be sure to remove all sources of power and exercise
lock-out tag-out procedures. Before freely accessing the inner cabinet, verify that
all potential energy sources have dissipated by measuring DC bus voltage (must
be below 30VDC). Additional wait time (up to 30 minutes) is required for systems
lacking motor regeneration protection, especially electric submersible pumps
without check valves. Furthermore, isolation of the motor circuit is necessary for
ESP systems with permanent magnet motors. This isolation is achieved by
disconnecting the motor lead cable at the vent box or step-up transformer.
Before accessing the motor lead cable, prove the circuit dead using a medium
voltage meter with hot sticks. Wear electrical gloves and use insulated tools
while disconnecting and reinstalling motor lead cable (well-kicks or other
phenomena may rotate the motor and generate electricity). For surface systems,
wait at least 5 minutes after removing line power for the drive’s bus capacitors to
discharge, to ensure adequate dissipation. Always check for unexpected auxiliary
circuits added without proper notice and documentation, using appropriately
rated meters. The use of non-contact voltage sensors is also highly
recommended.
UM-00011
Page 101 of 116
11.2 Cleaning
Table 45: Cleaning Maintenance Schedule provides recommendations for related activities. Keeping
airways clear and clean improves the performance and life of the drive, since heat directly affects
product life.
11.2.1 Interior
To ensure long-term performance keep dirt and moisture from accumulating
inside the cabinet. Such pollutants may enter while servicing during extreme
conditions, from improperly closed doors or from poorly installed accessories. Do
not allow wire clippings, drill shavings, unused hardware, or other metallic waste
to remain in the cabinet as they may become shorting hazards (especially during
transportation). A vacuum cleaner or damp rag will typically suffice for cleaning.
Take care not to damage or loosen components while cleaning. Cleaning printed
circuit boards is not recommended as cleaner compatibility is unknown. If panels
are removed make certain they are reinstalled when finished. If interior moisture
is noticed allow it to dry as much as possible before closing for long-term
operation. Note that dirt and moisture creates ionized surfaces that conduct
unwanted currents adversely affecting performance and potentially creating shock
hazards. Always keep electrical equipment clean and dry to ensure reliable
performance.
To clean sine-wave filter plenums on drive models 0414A and larger, remove rear
access panels and right shroud to expose inductors. Clean debris from the floor
and any notable buildup on inductors. A vacuum cleaner, blower, and/or damp rag
will typically suffice. Take care not to nick or scratch varnish from the inductor
wires. Also avoid excessive contact with thermostat wires. While cleaning,
inspect inductors for signs of excessive heating or exposed conductors. If such
problems are discovered, prepare for component replacement, contacting your
BHGE representative if necessary. Be certain to reinstall panels and shroud after
cleaning.
11.2.2 Exterior
If it is desired to clean the drive’s exterior for aesthetic purposes, use of a wet rag
and mild detergent is recommended. Avoid using pressurized sprayers, and avoid
aiming streaming water into the air ducts of the drive. Also ensure that all doors
are secured using all provided fasteners. Do not “clean” with contaminated water
such as salt water as this will promote corrosion of the drive’s metallic exterior.
It is recommended that the drive’s rear heat-sink be cleaned at least once per
year of use or sooner if the drive stops from an OH (over-heat) fault (and the
blower is operating). The shroud must be removed to expose the heat-sink
plenum of the power module. Contaminants will likely be observed along the top
of the heat-sink. Vacuuming or reverse high-pressure airflow should help to
dislodge contaminants from the fins of the heat-sink. When reinstalling the
shroud and hood, ensure gaskets are in good order and replace if necessary. Use
silicone adhesive along corners and irregular surfaces to prohibit moisture and
dirt from entering directly into the plenum.
UM-00011
Page 102 of 116
The drive’s heat exchanger(s) may also accumulate debris in the outer cooling
loop. Such debris will adversely affect cooling of the cabinet. Blowing pressurized
air into the outlet may help to dislodge and remove debris. Removing the outer
skin of the heat exchanger allows only limited access, but may aid with the
cleaning since it includes protective grills. Note that the inlet is the side with the
circular ring.
Table 45: Cleaning Maintenance Schedule

Location Frequency Notes
Enclosure Interior As needed Adjust for extreme weather and service
External Cabinet As desired Aesthetic requirement only
Heat-sink Plenum Yearly Adjust per relative air pollution or OH faults
Heat Exchanger(s) Yearly Adjust per relative air pollution or cabinet temperature faults
Sine-wave Filter
Yearly Adjust per relative air pollution or “Filter Overheat” faults
Plenum
11.3 Service
Some drive components degrade over time due to heat, voltage stress, friction, moisture, etc.
To avoid unexpected repairs or reduce related likelihood, key components should be replaced
or closely monitored after certain periods of operating time. Table 46: Service Items Schedule
indicates recommended time intervals where, at a minimum, related components should be
closely inspected by qualified personnel for end-of-life characteristics. It is recommended to
acquire related spare components before end of service life to prepare for timely
replacement.
11.3.1 Fans
On external fans check operation by feeling for airflow when motor is powered. Note
that the heat exchanger fans only come on when the cabinet temperature exceeds
thermostat setting (V7) or Apollo setting (V+). When power if off ensure fan-shafts
are not seized by spinning blades by hand. Only qualified technicians with proper PPE
and circuit knowledge should check for visual proof of internal fan operation with the
related circuit being energized. However, verification of internal fan operation is
critical to the confirmation of cooling performance.
11.3.2 Fan-motor capacitors

If present, check for activated pressure-sensitive interrupter. Check for swelled
housing.
11.3.3 Inverter bus capacitors

Only qualified technicians should attempt accessing bus capacitors, as extensive
disassembly is required. Check for swelled housing and leaking fluids. Check for
activated pressure sensitive interrupter.
UM-00011
Page 103 of 116
11.3.4 Sine-wave filter capacitors

Check for swelled housing. Check for discoloration of housing and connection
terminals. Furthermore, additional assessment of the capacitor condition should be
made by 50,000 hours of service. This is done by ensuring capacitance is greater than
90% of original specification and insulation resistance is greater than 250MΩ at
500VDC. Related testing must be done by a qualified technician, and a minimum of
two capacitors from each bank should be removed to perform this evaluation.
Table 46: Service Items Schedule

Location Frequency Notes
Fans 50,000 hours Adjust for high temperature, humidity, and voltage error
Fan-motor capacitors 50,000 hours Adjust for high temperature and voltage
Bus capacitors 75,000 hours Adjust for high temperature, voltage, and current ripple
Sine-wave filter 50,000 hours Adjust for high temperature and voltage
capacitors
11.3.5 Inspection of Wiring and Auxiliary Equipment

Check the condition of all cables, conduits, and wiring, ensuring insulation is
undamaged and capable of providing protection from shock. Verify that ground
wires are undamaged and that all metallic equipment is grounded. Note that the
primary and secondary windings of the step-up transformer should not be
grounded. Grounding of phase-shift transformer windings may not be feasible
either (see 4.1.9). However, all transformer enclosures must be grounded.
Ensure that all mechanical lugs are tight and properly torqued. Verify there are
no signs of heat damage to wire insulation near connections. Ensure that cable
clamps are adequately supporting cable weight. Verify that enclosure
penetrations are not compromising the environmental integrity of the related
equipment.
11.4 Repair
11.4.1 Qualified Technicians
Only qualified technicians shall repair drives. Training is available for those with
appropriate prerequisite credentials. Contact your BHGE representative for
further information.
11.4.2 Resources

11.5.3 Installing a New Version of Apollo Software

It may be necessary to update Apollo firmware for older drives to ensure the latest
capabilities or after replacing the Human-Machine Interface during repairs.
Updating firmware requires powering the drive on and off, and will likely
disrupt site operations. For ESP systems it may be necessary to wait for
back-spin dissipation before starting the motor again.
Requirements
• USB flash drive for storing and transferring Apollo firmware
• Latest or desired Apollo firmware available at BHGE Support Central Site
A. Downloading Apollo Software
a. Download the latest or desired version using the following link:
