Option selection matrix

Certain options are mutually exclusive. The tables below only provide an overview. Please refer to the descriptions of the individual options for a precise description of the options and other exclusions.

Electrical options

¹⁾ For converters ? 500 kW / 700 hp, the line reactor (order code L23) is included in the converter scope of delivery. For converters > 500 kW / 700 hp, option L23 must be ordered separately when the converter is to be operated on line supplies with high short-circuit power (R_SC > 20) or when a line filter is used (option L00).

²⁾ Combination L13/L26 only possible for currents < 800 A. As of 800 A, circuit breakers are used that also include the function of options L13 and L26.

³⁾ The options L57, L59 and L60 always require electrical separation from the line supply, this means for converters in a single circuit, for converter currents ? 800 A, option L13 and for converter currents > 800 A, option L26. For converters with power units connected in parallel, electrical separation from the line supply is included as standard.

⁴⁾ A combination of options G61 and K87 as a special version is available on request.

Mechanical options / electrical options

¹⁾ Option M66 includes option M23.

²⁾ Option L00 includes option M70.

³⁾ If the line connection (option M13) and the motor connection (option M78) are from above, the EMC shield bus (option M70) is not required in the lower cabinet area.

Rating plate data

Ordering examples

Example 1

Task:
A converter cabinet unit is required to control the fan speed for a 380 kW fan drive connected to an existing 400 V MCC outgoing feeder. The rated speed of the fan is 975 rpm. Due to the prevailing ambient conditions, the converter must be mounted on a 100 mm cabinet base and have IP54 degree of protection. The installation altitude is < 1000 m above sea level, the ambient temperature is 45 °C.

Solution:
Because an MCC outgoing feeder already exists, line connection components, such as main switch, line contactor and line fuses, can be omitted and the space-saving version C can be selected. If we take into account the derating factors for the IP54 degree of protection and the increased ambient temperature, a 450 kW, 400 V converter cabinet unit with options
M06 (cabinet base 100 mm) and
M54 (IP54 degree of protection) must be selected for this constellation.

The ordering data is as follows:
6SL3710-1GE38-4CA3-Z
+M06 +M54

Example 2

Task:
A 280 kW pump to control pressure compensation is to be supplied via a converter for a completely new district heating pumping station. A 690 V supply is available. The installation altitude is 350 m above sea level and the ambient temperature is 40 °C. The rated speed of the pump is 740 rpm. The pump unit and motor are located in an unmanned substation, so the winding temperature of the motor must be monitored by PT100 resistance thermometers and evaluated by the converter. The color of the converter cabinet units is to be RAL 3002.

Solution:
A converter cabinet unit with 315 kW, 690 V in the version A with the following options should be selected:
L26 (main switch including fuses),
L13 (line contactor),
L86 (Pt100 evaluation unit) and
Y09 (special cabinet paint finish).

The ordering data is as follows:
6SL3710-1GH33-3AA3-Z
+L26 +L13 +L86 +Y09
cabinet color RAL 3002

Description of options

Further descriptions of the options are provided in the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.

B00, B02, B03
Options compliant with NAMUR requirements

Exclusion list with other options:

The following restrictions and exclusions applicable to the NAMUR terminal block B00 with regard to other available options must be taken into account.

With options such as L50, L55, L86, the connection is made as described in the standard. There is no wiring to the NAMUR terminal block.

Notice:

In addition to option B00 for supply disconnection, option L13 for currents ? 800 A or option L26 for currents > 800 A must be ordered. For converters with power units connected in parallel, electrical separation from the line supply is included as standard.

B00
NAMUR terminal block

The terminal block has been designed and implemented in accordance with the requirements and guidelines of the Standards Working Group for Instrumentation and Control in the Chemical Industry (NAMUR Recommendation NE37), i.e. certain functions of the device are assigned to specified terminals. The inputs and outputs connected to the terminals fulfill PELV requirements ("protective extra-low voltage with protective separation").

The terminal block and associated functions have been reduced to the necessary minimum. Unlike the NAMUR recommendation, optional terminals are not available.

The 24 V supply is provided on the plant side via terminals -A1-X2:1-3 (fused in the converter with 1 A). It must be ensured that the PELV safety requirements are fulfilled (protective extra-low voltage with protective separation).

For temperature monitoring of explosion-proof motors, option B00 includes a PTC thermistor evaluation unit. Exceeding the limit value causes a shutdown. The associated PTC sensor is connected to terminal -A1-X3:90, 91.

In parallel to operation via the NAMUR terminal block, there is also the option to operate the converter via the communications interface provided as standard on the CU320?2 Control Unit. The PROFIdrive profile "Process engineering" employed in the chemical industry can be selected by macros.

B02
Protective separation for 24 V supply (PELV)

If no protective separation for 24 V supply (PELV) is available at the customer site, this option is used to provide a second power supply to guarantee compliance with the PELV voltage. (Terminal assignments as for option B00, 24 V supply at terminals -X1:1, 2, 3 is not required)

Note:

Option B02 is only possible in conjunction with option B00.

B03
Outgoing feeder for external auxiliaries (uncontrolled)

If a motor fan is to be supplied with power from the plant, option B03 provides an uncontrolled external outgoing feeder with a 10 A fuse. As soon as the supply voltage is present at the converter input, a voltage is also present at these terminals. This corresponds to the converter input voltage (U = U_line). You must take this into account when configuring an external fan.

Note:

Option B03 is only possible in conjunction with option B00.

B43, B44, B45
Production flowcharts

Production flowcharts are provided with options B43, B44 and B45. After the order has been clarified, these are e-mailed as a dual language (English/German) PDF file.

Additional documentation

When options D00, D56, D72, D76, D77, D78 and D84 are selected, additional documentation is supplied in the appropriate language.

D02
Customer documentation (circuit diagram, terminal diagram, layout diagram) in DXF format

This option can be used to order documents such as circuit diagrams, terminal diagrams, layout diagrams, and dimension drawings in DXF format, in order to process them further in CAD systems, for example.

D04
Customer documentation as hard copy

Device documentation is supplied electronically on a CD-ROM as standard. If the customer also requires a hard copy of the documentation and selects option D04, the following documents will be supplied in a folder with the converter:

• Operating instructions
• Circuit diagram
• Terminal diagram
• Layout diagram
• Dimension drawing
• Spare parts list
• Test certificate

Regardless of whether option D04 is selected, hard copies of the safety and transportation guidelines, a check list and a registration form are always supplied.

D14
Preliminary version of customer documentation

If documents such as circuit diagrams, terminal diagrams, layout diagrams and dimensional drawings are required in advance for system engineering, a preliminary copy of the relevant documentation can be ordered with the converter. These documents are then supplied electronically a few working days following receipt of the order. If the order includes options that fall outside the scope of standard delivery, these will not be covered by the documentation due to the obvious time constraints. The system-specific documentation is supplied to the customer via e-mail in the desired language (standard is English/German, for other languages, see options for the documentation). The recipient's e-mail address must be specified with the order for this purpose. If option D02 is selected at the same time, the documents are provided in the DXF format, otherwise they are sent in PDF format. In the e-mail, the recipient is also provided with a link for downloading general documentation which is not order-specific such as operating instructions, manual and commissioning guide.

D58, D60, D80, D91, D94
Documentation language

Note:

If a documentation option is not selected, the relevant documentation is supplied as standard in English/German.

Note:

Option G62 cannot be combined with options G20 (CBC10 communication board) or G33 (CBE20 communication board).

For a description of the TB30 Terminal Board, see SINAMICS G130 converter built-in units, Supplementary system components.

K01
Safety license for one axis

The Safety Integrated basic functions do not require a license. However, the Safety Integrated extended functions require a license for each axis equipped with safety functions. It is irrelevant which safety functions are used and how many. Option K01 contains the license for one axis.

Subsequent licensing is possible in the Internet via the WEB License Manager by generating a license key:
http://www.siemens.com/automation/license

K50

• SSI encoders with TTL/HTL incremental signals
• SSI encoders without incremental signals

The motor temperature can also be measured using KTY84?130 or PTC thermistors.

For a description of the SMC30 Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted, see SINAMICS G130 converter built-in units, Supplementary system components.

K51
VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module Cabinet-Mounted

The VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module is used to measure the voltage characteristic on the motor side, so that the following function can be implemented:

• Operation of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor without encoder with the requirement to be able to connect to a motor that is already running (flying restart function).
• Quick flying restart of large induction motors: The time for the demagnetization of the motor is eliminated through the measurement of the voltage.

For a description of the VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module Cabinet-Mounted, see SINAMICS G130 converter built-in units, Supplementary system components.

K52
Second SMC30 Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted

With option K50, the converter cabinet contains an SMC30 Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted. An additional SMC30 Sensor Module enables reliable actual-value acquisition when using Safety Integrated extended functions (requires a license: Option K01).

K74
Provision of a cabinet-internal 230 V AC auxiliary power supply

If there is no 230 V AC power supply in the plant, option K74 can be used to provide a cabinet-internal auxiliary power supply for the required auxiliary voltages of the external control circuits of the cabinet unit. The auxiliary voltages are generated by a transformer.

Note:

If there is no 230 V AC power supply in the plant, it is essential to select option K74 in order to ensure proper functioning of the following SINAMICS G150 cabinet units:

• Type 6SL3710-2...
• Type 6SL3710-1... for options B00, G61, K50, L13, L26 > 800 A, L57, L59, L60, L83, L84, L86 and L87 for cabinet version A

Options L50 and L55 always require an external supply voltage and must not be supplied via option K74.

K82
Terminal Module for controlling the Safe Torque Off and Safe Stop 1 safety functions

The Terminal Module is used to control the "Safety Integrated basic functions" with isolation

• Safe Torque Off (STO) and
• Safe Stop 1 (SS1) (time-controlled)

over a wide voltage range from DC/AC 24 V to 240 V (terminology according to IEC 61800?5?2).

As a consequence, the STO and SS1 safety functions can be flexibly controlled by the plant signal voltages.

The integrated safety functions, starting from the Safety Integrated (SI) input terminals of the components (Control Unit and Power Module), satisfy the requirements of EN 61800?5?2, EN 60204?1, DIN EN ISO 13849?1 Category 3 for Performance Level (PL) d and IEC 61508 SIL 2.

With option K82, the requirements specified in EN 61800?5?2, EN 60204?1, DIN EN ISO 13849?1 Category 3 for Performance Level (PL) d and IEC 61508 SIL 2 are fulfilled.

The Safety Integrated functions using option K82 are only available in conjunction with certified components and software versions.

The Safety Integrated functions of SINAMICS are generally certified by independent institutes. An up-to-date list of certified components is available on request from your local Siemens office.

K87
TM54F Terminal Module

The TM54F Terminal Module is a terminal expansion module with safe digital inputs and outputs for controlling the Safety Integrated functions.

The TM54F provides four fail-safe digital outputs and ten fail-safe digital inputs. A fail-safe digital output consists of one 24 V DC switching output, one output switching to ground and one digital input to check the switching state. A fail-safe digital input consists of two digital inputs.

For a description of the TM54F Terminal Module, see SINAMICS G130 converter built-in units, Supplementary system components.

K88
SBA Safe Brake Adapter, 230 V AC

Safe Brake Control (SBC) is a safety function that is used in safety-related applications. In the no-current state, the brake acts on the drive motor using spring force. The brake is released when current flows in it (low active).

The SBA Safe Brake Adapter is installed in the converter cabinet in the factory. An infeed is connected to terminal -X12 on the SBA Safe Brake Adapter for the power supply. For control, a connection is also made between the SBA and the Control Interface Module in the factory using a cable harness.

On the plant side, to control the brake, a connection must be made between terminal -X14 on the SBA Safe Brake Adapter and the brake.

For a description of the SBA Safe Brake Adapter, see SINAMICS G130 converter built-in units, Supplementary system components.

K95
CU320?2 PN Control Unit (PROFINET)

Instead of the CU320?2 DP Control Unit (PROFIBUS) supplied as standard, the converter is supplied with a CU320?2 PN (PROFINET).

For a description of the CU320?2 Control Unit, see SINAMICS G130 converter built-in units, Supplementary system components.

L00
Use in the first environment according to EN 61800?3, Category C2 (TN systems or TT systems with grounded neutral point)

To limit the emitted interference, the converters are equipped as standard with a radio interference suppression filter that conforms to the limits defined in Category C3. SINAMICS G150 converters equipped with a line filter also meet the limits for use in the first environment (Category C2) according to EN 61800?3 ¹⁾.

SINAMICS G150 units comply with the noise immunity requirements defined in this standard for the first and second environments.

In conjunction with line reactors, line filters also limit the conducted interference emitted by the Power Modules to the limit values of Category C2 defined in product standard EN 61800?3. For converter power ratings >500 kW, option L23 must be additionally ordered (not required when option L01 is selected).

To allow the power cable shield to be connected in conformance with EMC requirements, an additional EMC shield bus (option M70) is installed at the converter input and output. A separate order is not required in this case.

¹⁾ Applies to motor cable lengths < 100 m.

L01
Clean Power version with integrated Line Harmonics Filter compact

Instead of the line reactor, a Line Harmonics Filter is integrated in the control cabinet; this minimizes the harmonics that occur due to the principle of operation. As a consequence, the unit fully complies with the limit values stipulated in standard IEEE 519: 1992 without any exceptions (precondition: u_k ? 5% or RSC ? 20).

Option L01 always requires electrical separation from the line supply, i.e. for converters in a single connection for converter currents ? 800 A, option L13 and for converter currents > 800 A, option L26. For converters with power units connected in parallel, electrical separation from the line supply is included as standard.

SINAMICS G150 Clean Power with integrated Line Harmonics Filter is available for power ratings up to 1500 kW in all available degrees of protection up to IP54 (see options M21 to M54).

Notice:

When using option L01 on 60 Hz line supplies, a restricted voltage tolerance of +8% applies!

Note:

Option L01 is not available for converters > 1500 kW with power units connected in parallel and cannot be combined with the following options:

• L22 (without line reactor)
• L23 (line reactor u_k = 2%)
• M66 (marine version)

L07
dv/dt filter compact plus Voltage Peak Limiter

dv/dt filters compact plus VPL (Voltage Peak Limiter) limit the voltage rate-of-rise dv/dt to values of < 1600 V/?s and the typical voltage peaks to the following values in accordance with the limit value curve A according to IEC 60034?25: 2007:

• < 1150 V at U_line < 575 V
• < 1400 V at 660 V < U_line < 690 V

The dv/dt filter compact plus VPL functionally consists of two components that are supplied as a compact mechanical unit, the dv/dt reactor and the voltage limiting network (VPL), which limits voltage peaks and feeds back the energy to the DC link. It is so compact that it can be completely integrated into the cabinet, even for high power ratings. A supplementary cabinet is not required.

By using a dv/dt filter compact plus VPL, standard motors with standard insulation and without insulated bearings can be used with supply voltages up to 690 V in converter operation.

dv/dt filters compact plus VPL are designed for the following maximum motor cable lengths:

• Shielded cables: 100 m (e.g. Protodur NYCWY)
• Unshielded cables: 150 m (e.g. Protodur NYY)

For longer cable lengths (> 100 m shielded, >150 m unshielded), the dv/dt filter plus VPL (option L10) should be used.

Notice:

• Operation with output frequencies < 10 Hz is permissible for max. 5 min.
• The maximum permissible output frequency is 150 Hz.

The appropriate information in the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual should also be carefully observed.

Note:

Option L07 cannot be combined with the following options:

• L08 (motor reactor)
• L10 (dv/dt filter plus VPL)
• L15 (sine-wave filter)
• M78 (motor connection from above)

L08
Motor reactor

Motor reactors reduce the voltage load on the motor windings by reducing the voltage gradients at the motor terminals that occur during converter operation. At the same time, the capacitive charge/discharge currents that place an additional load on the converter output when long motor cables are used, are reduced. The maximum permissible output frequency when a motor reactor is used is 150 Hz.

Motor reactors are designed for the following maximum motor cable lengths:

• Shielded cables: 300 m (e.g. Protodur NYCWY)
• Unshielded cables: 450 m (e.g. Protodur NYY)

Note:

Option L08 cannot be combined with the following options:

• L07 (dv/dt filter compact plus VPL)
• L10 (dv/dt filter plus VPL)
• L15 (sine-wave filter)
• M78 (motor connection from above)

L10
dv/dt filter plus Voltage Peak Limiter

dv/dt filters plus VPL (Voltage Peak Limiter) limit the voltage rate-of-rise dv/dt to values < 500 V/?s and the typical voltage peaks to the following values in accordance with the limit value curve according to IEC/TS 60034?17: 2006:

• < 1000 V at U_line < 575 V
• < 1250 V at 660 V < U_line < 690 V

The dv/dt filter plus VPL functionally consists of two components, the dv/dt reactor and the voltage limiting network (VPL), which limits voltage peaks and feeds the energy back to the DC link.

Depending on the converter output rating, option L10 can be accommodated in the converter cabinet unit or an additional cabinet of 400 mm or 600 mm width is required.

By using a dv/dt filter plus VPL, standard motors with standard insulation and without insulated bearings can be used with supply voltages up to 690 V in converter operation.

dv/dt filters plus VPL are designed for the following maximum motor cable lengths:

• Shielded cables: 300 m (e.g. Protodur NYCWY)
• Unshielded cables: 450 m (e.g. Protodur NYY)

For cable lengths < 100 m shielded or < 150 m unshielded, the dv/dt filter compact plus VPL (option L07) can be advantageously used.

The appropriate information in the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual should also be carefully observed.

Note:

Option L10 cannot be combined with the following options:

• L07 (dv/dt filter compact plus VPL)
• L08 (motor reactor)
• L15 (sine-wave filter)
• M78 (motor connection from above)

L13
Line contactor (for currents ? 800 A for single connection)

SINAMICS G150 converter cabinet units in a single connection do not have a line contactor as standard. Option L13 is required if a switching element is required for disconnecting the cabinet from the supply (required for EMERGENCY OFF). The contactor is controlled and powered inside the converter. For devices with rated input currents > 800 A in single connection, the function of option L13 is provided by option L26.

Note:

For converters with power units connected in parallel, the line contactor is included as standard.

L15
Sine-wave filter

Sine-wave filters are available in the voltage range 380 V to 480 V up to a type rating of 250 kW, and in the voltage range 500 V to 600 V up to a type rating of 132 kW.

The sine-wave filter at the converter output supplies almost perfect sinusoidal voltages to the motor so that standard motors can be used without special insulation and without insulated bearings. The sine-wave filter also reduces the converter-related supplementary motor noise. The maximum permissible motor supply cable length is limited to 300 m.

Notice:

In conjunction with the option L15, the pulse frequency of the converter must be increased. This reduces the power available at the converter output (for the derating factor, see SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual). The modulation depth of the output voltage decreases to approx. 85% (380 V to 480 V) or approx. 83% (500 V to 600 V). The maximum output frequency is 150 Hz (for 380 V to 480 V) or 115 Hz (for 500 V to 600 V). It should be noted that the reduced voltage at the motor terminals compared to the rated motor voltage means that the motor switches to field weakening mode earlier.

Note:

Option L15 cannot be combined with the following options:

• L07 (dv/dt filter compact plus VPL)
• L08 (motor reactor)
• L10 (dv/dt filter plus VPL)
• M78 (motor connection from above)

L19
Connection for external auxiliary equipment

An outgoing, controlled feeder fused with max. 10 A for external auxiliary equipment (e.g. motor external fan).

The voltage is tapped at the converter input upstream of the main contactor / circuit breaker and, therefore, has the same level as the supply voltage.

The outgoing feeder can be controlled internally by the converter or externally.

L21
Surge suppression

In ungrounded IT systems, the line voltage is not permanently connected to the ground potential because of the missing ground connection of the supply network. Therefore, when a ground fault occurs during operation, a voltage against ground increased by a factor of 2 can occur. For this reason, it is recommended that a surge suppression against ground be installed for operation on IT systems. The surge suppression option includes the installation of line-side surge arresters and upstream fuses for each system phase. The signaling contacts of the surge arresters are connected in series for the monitoring and connected to a customer interface.

Note:

Option L21 does not include the installation of an insulation monitor for the IT system. An insulation monitor should always be ordered separately as option L87 when the supplying IT system is not monitored at another position (e.g. at the transformer outgoing feeder). Only one insulation monitor can be used in each galvanically coupled network.
Option L21 also does not include the factory-side removal of the metal bracket which establishes the connection to ground of the radio interference suppression filter installed as standard. The metal bracket should therefore be removed during the installation or commissioning of the converter if the device is to be operated on an ungrounded IT system.

L22
Scope of delivery without line reactor (for converters ? 500 kW)

L23
Line reactor u_k = 2% (for converters > 500 kW)

The line reactor is included as standard in converters up to 500 kW. For converter power ratings > 500 kW, including the parallel connections, the line reactor (u_K = 2%) is optionally available, as in this power range, the converter is often connected to the medium-voltage line supply via transformers that are adapted to the converter rating.

A line reactor is needed for high short-circuit power levels, partly to protect the actual converter against excessive harmonic currents, and thus against overload, and partly to limit the line harmonics to the permissible values. The harmonic currents are limited by the complete inductance comprising the line reactor and line supply cable inductance. Line reactors can be omitted if the line supply cable inductance is increased sufficiently, i.e. the RSC value must be sufficiently small.

RSC = Relative Short-Circuit power: Ratio of short-circuit power S_{K line} at the supply connection point to fundamental apparent output S_conv of the connected converters (according to EN 50178/VDE 0160).

The following applies for SINAMICS G150 converter cabinet units:

It is recommended that a line reactor is always connected on the line side of the converter, as in practice, it is often not known on which supply configuration individual converters are to be operated, i.e. which supply short-circuit power is present at the converter connection point.

The line reactor can only be omitted (option L22) if the values for RSC are lower than those shown in the table. This is the case, as shown in the following diagram, when the converter is connected to the line supply via a transformer with the appropriate rating.

As high-rating converters are usually connected to medium-voltage supply systems via transformers to reduce their harmonic effects on the supply, cabinet units over 500 kW are not equipped with line reactors as standard.

A line reactor (option L23) is always required when

• For cabinet units > 500 kW, the RSC ratio is > 20, or
• Several converters are connected to the same line connection point
• For cabinet units in a parallel connection, the line supply is not fed-in through a three-winding transformer, or
• A line filter is used

For further information, please refer to the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.

Note:

When option L01 is selected, a line reactor is not required (options L22/L23 and L01 cannot be combined).

L26
Main switch incl. fuses or circuit breakers

A switch disconnector with fuses is available as main switch for converters in single connection with ratings up to 800 A. With currents above 800 A, a circuit breaker is used instead of a switch disconnector. The circuit breaker is controlled and supplied within the converter.

Option L26 is included as standard for converters with power units connected in parallel and a rated input current of ? 1500 A. Circuit breakers are installed in this case. For rated input currents < 1500 A, by selecting option L26, main switches including fuses are installed in addition to the line contactors provided as standard.

L45
EMERGENCY OFF pushbutton installed in the cabinet door

Option L45 only includes the EMERGENCY OFF pushbutton. This is fitted with a protective collar in the cabinet door of the converter. The contacts of the pushbutton are brought out and connected to a terminal block. The EMERGENCY OFF functions, Category 0 or 1, can be activated in conjunction with options L57, L59 and L60 .

Notice:

By pressing the EMERGENCY OFF pushbutton, in compliance with IEC 60204?1 (VDE 0113), the motor is stopped – either uncontrolled or controlled depending on the selected Category 0 or 1 – and the converter disconnected from the line supply. Auxiliary voltages such as the supply for an external fan or anti-condensation heating may still be present. Certain areas within the converter also remain live (under voltage), such as the control or auxiliary equipment. If complete disconnection of all voltages is required, the EMERGENCY OFF pushbutton must be incorporated into a protective system to be implemented by the customer. For this purpose, an NC contact is provided at terminal -X120.

The EMERGENCY OFF button is preconfigured at the factory only when one of the options L57 to L60 is selected simultaneously. Other circuit arrangements must be implemented by the customer.

L50
Cabinet lighting with service socket

With option L50, cabinet lighting is included with an additional service socket for a SCHUKO connector (connector type F) according to CEE 7/4. The power supply for the cabinet lighting and the service socket is external and must be fuse-protected for max. 10 A.

The cabinet lighting consists of an LED hand lamp with On/Off switch and with magnetic fasteners on an approx. 3 m long connecting cable. The lamp is factory-positioned in the cabinet door at a defined marking, and the connecting cable is wound on the associated mount.

L55
Anti-condensation heating for cabinet

The anti-condensation heating is recommended at low ambient temperatures and high levels of humidity to prevent condensation. A 100 W cabinet heater is installed in each cabinet section (two heaters are installed per cabinet with cabinet section widths of between 800 mm and 1200 mm).

The power supply for the anti-condensation heating (110 V to 230 V AC, at terminal block -X240) must be provided externally and fused with max. 16 A.

L57
EMERGENCY OFF Category 0, 230 V AC or 24 V DC

EMERGENCY OFF Category 0 for uncontrolled stopping according to EN 60204?1.

The function includes interrupting the power feed for the converter via the line contactor and bypassing the microprocessor controller using a safety combination according to EN 60204?1. The motor coasts down. When delivered, the pushbutton circuit is preset to 230 V AC. Jumpers must be appropriately set when using 24 V DC.

Notice:

Option L57 always requires electrical separation from the line supply, i.e. for converters in a single connection for converter currents ? 800 A, option L13 and for converter currents > 800 A, option L26. For converters with power units connected in parallel, electrical separation from the line supply is included as standard.

L59
EMERGENCY STOP Category 1, 230 V AC

EMERGENCY STOP Category 1 for controlled stopping according to EN 60204?1.

The function stops the drive using a fast stop along a down ramp that is parameterized by the user. The power supply to the converter is then interrupted as described for EMERGENCY OFF Category 0.

In order to maintain the specified stopping times, it may be necessary to use a braking unit.

Notice:

Option L59 always requires electrical separation from the line supply, i.e. for converters in a single connection for converter currents ? 800 A, option L13 and for converter currents > 800 A, option L26. For converters with power units connected in parallel, electrical separation from the line supply is included as standard.

L60
EMERGENCY STOP Category 1, 24 V DC

EMERGENCY STOP Category 1 for controlled stopping according to EN 60204?1.

The function stops the drive using a fast stop along a down ramp that is parameterized by the user. The power supply to the converter is then interrupted as described for EMERGENCY OFF Category 0.

In order to maintain the specified stopping times, it may be necessary to use a braking unit.

Notice:

Option L60 always requires electrical separation from the line supply, i.e. for converters in a single connection for converter currents ? 800 A, option L13 and for converter currents > 800 A, option L26. For converters with power units connected in parallel, electrical separation from the line supply is included as standard.

L61, L62
Braking units

Braking units may be required for drives in which motors might operate in generator mode, but have no facility for feeding energy back into the supply system.

The braking unit comprises two components:

• A Braking Module that is installed in the converter cabinet
• A braking resistor to be mounted externally (IP20 degree of protection).

The braking unit functions as an autonomous unit, and does not require an external power supply. The braking energy is converted into heat in the braking resistor that must be mounted externally.

A max. cable length of 100 m is permissible between the Braking Module and the braking resistor. This allows the braking resistor to be mounted externally so that heat losses can be dissipated outside the converter enclosure.

The braking resistor is connected to terminal block –X5 on the converter cabinet unit:

Characteristic curves

Load diagram for Braking Modules and braking resistors

Information about possible duty cycles of the braking units and other configuration notes are contained in the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.

The following braking units are available for SINAMICS G150 converters – depending on the converter type:

P_DB: Rated power (continuous braking power)
P₄₀: 40 s power in relation to a braking interval of 90 s
P₂₀: 20 s power in relation to a braking interval of 90 s
P₁₅: 15 s power in relation to a braking interval of 90 s

A second 50 kW braking unit can be used in converters with power units connected in parallel in order to increase the braking power. In this case, a Braking Module is assigned to each braking resistor. You can order a second braking unit by selecting option L62 twice.

If more braking power is required than provided by the braking units listed here, then braking units may be connected in parallel for higher converter outputs (on request).
For further information, please refer to the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.

L76
Quick start (for option L01)

If L01 (Line Harmonics Filter) is in use, after the converter has been switched off, as a result of the principle of operation, a waiting period of at least 30 seconds must be allowed to elapse before switching on again. With option L76, the wait time is shortened to approx. 3 s.

L83
Thermistor motor protection device (alarm)

Thermistor motor protection device for PTC thermistors (PTC resistors, type A) for alarm. The thermistor motor protection device is supplied with power and evaluated internally in the converter.

L84
Thermistor motor protection device (trip)

Thermistor motor protection device for PTC thermistors (PTC resistors, type A) for trip. The thermistor motor protection device is supplied with power and evaluated internally in the converter.

L86
Pt100 evaluation unit

The Pt100 evaluation unit can monitor up to six sensors. The sensors can be connected using a two-wire or three-wire system. The limit values can be freely programmed for each channel.

In the factory setting, the measuring channels are subdivided into two groups, each with three channels. With motors, for example, this means that three Pt100s in the stator windings and two Pt100s in the motor bearings can be monitored. Unused channels can be hidden via parameters.

The output relays are integrated into the internal fault and shutdown sequence of the converter.

L87
Insulation monitoring

An insulation monitor must be used if the converter is connected to an ungrounded line supply. The device monitors the entire galvanically coupled circuit for insulation faults.

An alarm is output in the event of a fault.

Notice:

Only one insulation monitor can be used in each galvanically coupled network.

As there are different response strategies when a ground fault occurs in an ungrounded system, output relays of the insulation monitor are provided for integration in a plant-side control. It is also possible to integrate the outputs into the converter monitoring system on the plant side.

Insulation monitoring can be supplied on request for converter cabinet units with power units connected in parallel.
