distortion (THD) at the point of common coupling (PCC). On request VFD manufacturer shall
provide THD figures for the total connected load. The contractor shall provide details of supply
transformer rating, impedance, short circuit current, short circuit impedance etc to allow this
calculation to be made.

All VFDs shall contain integral EMC Filters to attenuate Radio Frequency Interference
conducted to the AC power line. The VFDs shall comply with the emission and immunity
requirements of IEC 61800-3: 2004, Category C1 with 50m motor cable (unrestricted distribution).
The suppliers of VFDs shall include additional external EMC filters, if required, to meet
compliance to this requirement.

The VFD’s full load output current rating shall meet or exceed the normal rated currents of
standard IEC induction motors. The VFD shall be able to provide full rated output current
continuously, 110% of rated current for 60 seconds and 120% of rated torque for up to 0.5
second while starting.

The VFD shall provide full motor torque at any selected frequency from 20 Hz to base speed
while providing a variable torque V/Hz output at reduced speed. This is to allow driving direct
drive fans without high speed derating or low speed excessive magnetization, as would occur if a
constant torque V/Hz curve was used at reduced speeds. Breakaway current of 160% shall be
available.

TS-80
 A programmable automatic energy optimization selection feature shall be provided as standard in
the VFD. This feature shall automatically and continuously monitor the motor’s speed and load to
adjust the applied voltage to maximize energy savings.

The VFD must be able to produce full torque at low speed to operate direct driven fans.

Output power circuit switching shall be able to be accomplished without interlocks or damage to
the VFD.

An Automatic Motor Adaptation algorithm shall measure motor stator resistance and reactance to
optimize performance and efficiency. It shall not be necessary to run the motor or de-couple the
motor from the load to perform the test.

Galvanic isolation shall be provided between the VFD’s power circuitry and control circuitry to
ensure operator safety and to protect connected electronic control equipment from damage
caused by voltage spikes, current surges, and ground loop currents. VFDs not including either
galvanic or optical isolation on both analog I/O and discrete digital I/O shall include additional
isolation modules.

VFD shall minimize the audible motor noise through the use of an adjustable carrier frequency.
The carrier frequency shall be automatically adjusted to optimize motor and VFD operation while
reducing motor noise. VFDs with fixed carrier frequency or only manually adjustable carrier
frequency are not acceptable.

The VFD shall allow up to at least 100 meters of SWA (Single Wire Armour) cable to be used
between the VFD and the motor and allow the use of MICS (Mineral Insulated Copper Sheath)
cable in the motor circuit for fire locations. VFDs not meeting this requirement of 100meters of
cable length between motor & cable because of generation of high U peak Voltage and high dv /
dt on the motor terminals, which may cause motor windings to fail or significantly curtail it’s life,
shall be compensated with the use of external suitable dv/dt or sine wave filters.

38.1.6.3 PROTECTIVE FEATURES:

A minimum of Class 20 I2t electronic motor overload protection for single motor applications shall
be provided. Overload protection shall automatically compensate for changes in motor speed

Protection against input transients, loss of AC line phase, output short circuit, output ground fault,
over voltage, under voltage, VFD over temperature and motor over temperature. The VFD shall
display all faults in plain English text. Codes are not acceptable.

Protect VFD from input phase loss. The VFD should be able to protect itself from damage and
indicate the phase loss condition. During an input phase loss condition, the VFD shall be able to
be programmed to either trip off while displaying an alarm, issue a warning while running at
reduced output capacity, or issue a warning while running at full commanded speed. This function
is independent of which input power phase is lost.

Protect from under voltage. The VFD shall provide full rated output with an input voltage as low
as 90% of the nominal. The VFD will continue to operate with reduced output, without faulting,
with an input voltage as low as 70% of the nominal voltage.

VFD shall include current sensors on all three output phases to accurately measure motor
current, protect the VFD from output short circuits, output ground faults, and act as a motor
overload. If an output phase loss is detected, the VFD will trip off and identify which of the output
phases is low or lost.

If the temperature of the VFD’s heat sink rises to 80°C, the VFD shall automatically reduce its
carrier frequency to reduce the heat sink temperature. It shall also be possible to program the
VFD so that it reduces its output current limit value if the VFD’s temperature becomes too high.

TS-81
In order to ensure operation during periods of overload, it must be possible to program the VFD to
automatically reduce its output current to a programmed value during periods of excessive load.
This allows the VFD to continue to run the load without tripping.

The VFD shall have temperature controlled cooling fan(s) for quiet operation, minimized losses,
and increased fan life. At low loads or low ambient temperatures, the fan(s) may be off even
when the VFD is running.

Protect from output switching : The VFD shall be fully protected from switching a contactor /
isolator at the output with out causing tripping e.g.: for switching on/off the isolators of the AHU /
ventilation fans / pumps near the motor with VFD in ON mode.

The VFD shall store in memory the last 10 alarms. A description of the alarm, and the date and
time of the alarm shall be recorded.

When used with a pumping system, the VFD shall be able to detect no-flow situations, dry pump
conditions, and operation off the end of the pump curve. It shall be programmable to take
appropriate protective action when one of the above situations is detected.

TS-82

the maximum or minimum deviating signal as the controlling signal. It shall also be possible to
calculate the controlling feedback signal as the average of all feedback signals or the difference
between a pair of feedback signals.

The VFD shall be able to apply individual scaling to each feedback signal.

For fan flow tracking applications, the VFD shall be able to calculate the square root of any or all
individual feedback signals so that a pressure sensor can be used to measure air flow.

minimum), frequency, motor current, motor voltage, VFD output power, VFD output energy, VFD
temperature in degrees, feedback signals in their own units, among others.

Programmable Sleep Mode shall be able to stop the VFD. When its output frequency drops below
set “sleep” level for a specified time, when an external contact commands that the VFD go into
Sleep Mode, or when the VFD detects a no-flow situation, the VFD may be programmed to stop.
When the VFD’s speed is being controlled by its PID controller, it shall be possible to program a
“wake-up” feedback value that will cause the VFD to start. To avoid excessive starting and
stopping of the driven equipment, it shall be possible to program a minimum run time before sleep
mode can be initiated and a minimum sleep time for the VFD.

A run permissive circuit shall be provided to accept a “system ready” signal to ensure that the
VFD does not start until dampers or other auxiliary equipment are in the proper state for VFD
operation. The run permissive circuit shall also be capable of initiating an output “run request”
signal to indicate to the external equipment that the VFD has received a request to run.

VFD shall be programmable to display feedback signals in appropriate units, such as inches of
water column (in-wg), pressure per square inch (psi) or temperature (°F). Examples can be room
temperature in 0C , return air temperature in 0C , supply air temperature in 0C, CO2 concentration
in ppm, pressure in bar, differential pressure in PSI etc.

VFD shall be programmable to sense the loss of load. The VFD shall be programmable to signal
this condition via a keypad warning, relay output and/or over the serial communications bus. To
ensure against nuisance indications, this feature must be based on motor torque, not current, and
must include a proof timer to keep brief periods of no load from falsely triggering this indication.

included to compensate for noise.

l) The VFD shall provide front panel meter displays programmable to show the value of each
analog input signal for system set-up and troubleshooting,

a) One programmable analog current output (0/4 to 20 mA) shall be provided for
indication of VFD status. This output shall be programmable to show the
reference or feedback signal supplied to the VFD and for VFD output frequency,
current and power. It shall be possible to scale the minimum and maximum
values of this output.

b) It shall be possible to read the status of all analog and digital inputs of the VFD
through serial bus communications.

TS-84
 c) It shall be possible to command all digital and analog output through the serial
communication bus.

The VFD shall automatically recognize the option module after it is powered up.
There shall be no need to manually configure the module.

Modules may include such items as:

1. Additional digital outputs, including relay outputs

2. Additional digital inputs
3. Additional analog outputs
4. Additional analog inputs, including Ni or Pt temperature sensor inputs.
5. It shall be possible through serial bus communications to control the status of all
optional analog and digital outputs of the VFD.

n) Standard programmable firefighter’s override mode allows a digital input to control the VFD and
override all other local or remote commands. It shall be possible to program the VFD so that it will
ignore most normal VFD safety circuits including motor overload. The VFD shall display
FIREMODE whenever in firefighter’s override mode. Fire mode shall allow selection of forward
or reverse operation and the selection of a speed source or preset speed, as required to
accommodate local fire codes, standards and conditions.
