Altivar 16 AC Drive
Introduction

Introduction
The Altivar 16 AC drive for three-phase asynchronous squirrel cage motors incorporates the latest technology:
-

Surface mount technology

16-bit microprocessor
ASIC circuit
IPM power module

With its compact design and conformity to international standards, the Altivar 16 is a global product. A complete
offering of options and accessories allows the Altivar 16 to meet all types of applications.

Factory setting of base drive

The Altivar 16 is factory-set to provide:

Transient overtorque necessary for starting

Maximum available torque at low speeds with no adjustment required (from 5 to 50/60 Hz)

Automatic adjustment of acceleration and deceleration ramp times when the torque capabilities are exceeded

Reduction of motor noise

In the Altivar 16, a high switching frequency (5 kHz, or 10 kHz for certain applications) produces a waveform with few
harmonics.
This switching frequency is randomly modulated to 1 kHz, reducing motor noise and limiting losses in the drive.

Use in industrial applications

RFI filters
The use of RFI filters (1) prevents radio frequency emissions from interfering with nearby antennas or conductors such
as radios or televisions.
Each RFI filter kit contains in a single package:
- One filter module for the input of the drive allowing the Altivar 16 to conform to VDE871, CISPR11 and EN50011
regarding the limitation of radio frequency interference in the conduction mode
- One filter module for the output of the drive to limit interference from motor cables, ground leakage current and
overvoltage at motor connections
Inductors
The use of inductors on the input allows the Altivar 16 to run when supplied by lines with very low impedance or lines
subject to interference from other input loads.
The use of inductors between drive and motor is recommended under certain conditions, such as when connections
between drive and motor are very long, or when running several motors in parallel.

Dynamic braking
The dissipation of excess braking energy in an exterior resistor allows the Altivar 16 to function in quadrants 2 and 4
of the speed/torque curve.
Applications:
- Machines with high inertia
- Overhauling loads
- Machines with fast cycles

Each option card provides parameters specific to its application as well as additional inputs and outputs.

1 RFI filters
2 Option cards
3 Display/adjustment options

Dialog and communication

Three display/adjustment options (3) are available for monitoring and changing Altivar 16 parameters. These allow
local or remote dialog, or connection to a personal computer.
The display/adjustment options allow the parameters of the Altivar 16 to be changed so that its configuration is suited
to the application.
The options also aid in troubleshooting in the event of a fault by displaying the fault code.
The PC connection option allows parameter settings to be saved on a diskette or hard disk for downloading into other
drives.

Torque Characteristics (typical curves)

The curves below show the continuous torque and transient overtorque capabilities both with a self-ventilated motor
and with a force-ventilated motor. The difference is in the ability of the force-ventilated motor to supply torque below
half speed without danger of motor overheating.

[1] For fractional powers 1/3 hp (250 W), the derating is less (20 % instead of 50 % at the lowest frequency).
[2] Overtorque is limited to 110% Tn with the variable torque or high speed motor option cards.
[3] With one of the display/adjustment options, the nominal motor frequency and the maximum output frequency can
be adjusted from 40 to 200 Hz (see page 16).
Caution: consult motor manufacturer before operating motor above rated speed.
Note: The maximum output frequency can be adjusted up to 400 Hz for use with a special motor by using the high speed
motor option card and one of the display/adjustment options.

Motor Thermal Overload Protection

By continuously calculating I2t (I being the current to the motor), thermal overload protection of the motor is insured
in the following conditions:
- Ambient motor temperature +104 F (+40C)
- Frequency range is between 25/30 Hz and 50/60 Hz with a self-ventilated motor
- Nominal motor current = 0.9 times the continuous output current of the drive (factory preset). If the nominal motor
current is different, use one of the display/adjustment options.
If the ambient motor temperature exceeds 104F (40 C), or if a self-ventilated motor is run at low speed, external
thermal overload protection should be provided.

Special Applications

When motor power is different from drive rated power, it is permissible for motor power to be less than or equal to
drive rated power. When motor power is slightly higher than drive rated power, insure that the motor current is not
higher than the continuous drive output current.

Motors in parallel:
Drive rated power must be greater than or equal to the sum of the powers of the motors connected to the drive. In
this case, it is necessary to provide separate overload protection by thermal sensor or relay. If there are three or
more motors in parallel, installation of a three-phase inductor between the drive controller and the motor is
recommended.

Connection of an additional motor downstream from the drive:

Motor can be connected downstream while drive is running if the power of the motor is less than that of the drive,
and if the overload is acceptable (peak current is less than or equal to the maximum transient drive current).

Use with special motors:

- Brake motor or tapered rotor motor: may be used.
- Synchronous reluctance motor: slip compensation must be overriden with one of the display/adjustment options.
- Motor with a nominal frequency other than 50/60 Hz: use the display/adjustment option to adjust the nominal motor
frequency.

Whenever the frequency goes below 5 Hz, braking

torque decreases rapidly. Slip compensation is disabled
when the motor is regenerating.

For demanding applications (overhauling loads, hoisting) it is necessary to calculate the value of the resistor. Consult
your local sales office.
The minimum resistance value is 50 (no matter what the rating of the Altivar 16).

Function
Smooth restarting of the motor after a short input line undervoltage. When restarted, the output frequency is
immediately equal to the reference frequency. The acceleration ramp does not begin at zero. Supply voltage, reference
frequency and a direction command (FW or RV) must be maintained for this function to operate.
Applications
Machines for which the loss of motor speed is slight during the input line undervoltage (machines with high inertia,
process control machines).

Automatic restart
Available on:
- VW3A16104
- VW3A16201 + VW3A16101, VW3A16102 or VW3A16104
- VW3A16202 with or without VW3A16101, VW3A16102 or VW3A16104
Function
Automatic restart after the drive trips on one of the faults below if the cause of the fault has been corrected.
Faults:
- Overvoltage (OSF)
- Overbraking (ObF)
- Overload (OLF)
In the case of overvoltage or overbraking, the drive remains disabled for 1 minute and automatically restarts if the fault
has disappeared and if the other operating conditions allow. If the fault remains, the above sequence is repeated 4
times (a maximum of 5 sequences) before the drive faults and has to be reset.
In case of motor overload, the drive remains disabled for as long as the thermal state stays above 100%.
Restarting is possible if the other operating conditions allow.
In each of these three cases, the drive fault relay (SA-SB) remains closed.
Supply voltage, reference frequency and a direction command (FW or RV) must be maintained for this function to
operate.
Applications
Machines or installations which run continually or without monitoring, where the restarting does not present any danger
for personnel or product (pumps, fans).
