ACS1000 also for retrofit applications with existing standard MV
induction motors without derating.
• ACS 1000 is equipped with hardware and software protection
features to protect the AC drive system against faults and damages
due to improper operation and an equipment malfunction.
• The standard ACS 1000 cabinet is rated as IP21 for air-cooled and
IP31 for water-cooled units. Higher IP ratings are available optionally.
• ACS 1000 meets all common standards including IEC and EN.
• In addition, ACS 1000 converter adequately meets the requirements
of the international harmonic standards, such as IEEE 519-1992.
• Depending on the power, ACS1000 is equipped either air-cooled or
water-cooled cooling system.

What is an ACS1000 ?

• ACS 1000 is a converter family for industrial adjustable speed drive

applications for motor voltages 2.3 kV, 3.3 kV and 4.16 kV, either
50Hz or 60Hz.
• ACS 1000 covers motor powers 110 kW - 5000 kW (150 HP - 6500
HP).
• ACS 1000 is based on the three-level voltage source inverter
technology with a 12 pulses (24 pulses as an option) input rectifier.
• The Output LC-filter called “sine-filter” provides nearly sinusoidal
output waveform, this allows to use standard motor cables without
any length limitation and motors without derating.
• As inverter switches IGCTs (Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor)
are used in the ACS1000. This Semiconductor Type combines the
strength of latest GTO and IGBT technology.
The freewheeling diodes are integrated together with the IGCT on
the same wafer, that results in a very compact design.
• ABB developed Direct Torque Control (DTC) to simultaneously
incorporate high performance flux control and direct control of motor
torque. The result is a unique sensorless flux vector control that does
not compromise on torque or speed performance.

Grounding isolator:
• A safety grounding switch guarantees personal safety when drive
maintenance is performed.
• The safety grounding switch connects the plus, minus, and neutral
DC busses to ground. That ensures that the power has been
removed and all energy stored in the DC link capacitors has been
discharged before having access to the power parts.
The power section doors are interlocked with the safety
grounding switch.
• A yellow light “GND SWITCH UNLOCKED” (located on the control
section door) indicates when the DC busses are discharged to a safe
level. This releases the (electromagnetic) locking mechanism and it’s
possible to close the grounding switch and open the doors.
Locking mechanism and yellow light “GND SWITCH
UNLOCKED” are connected in parallel and controlled from
IOEC1 (output relay 1.4).
Never try to move grounding isolator without yellow
light on !
• Energize / de-energize procedure is described in detail on User’s
Manual chapter 5 .
• Danger: The cooling water system may start automatically even if
the converter is de-energized. In order to shut down the cooling
system, the auxiliary voltage has to be switched off (Q11/Q12).

Protection IGCTs & Precharge Resistors:

• Between rectifier bridges and dc-link capacitors, two protection IGCTs
are situated.
In case of an inverter fault, these IGCTs (Vs1 / Vs2) disconnect
the rectifier immediately from the DC-link and stop the energy flow
from the mains into the drive. Fuses on the line side are not needed.
• These protection IGCTs immediately isolate the inverter of the drive
system from the power supply side within 25 microseconds, thus
making it 1000 times faster than the operational performance of
fuses.
• Varistor (Fs1 / Fs2) protect the protection-IGCT against over-
voltages, during a full DC-link shortage due to an inverter fault or
when the IGCT is turned off.
• Two protection IGCTs are identical to the inverter IGCTs.

 ACS 1000 Discharging time : <10 min

Charging / discharging sequence:

• At the beginning the protection IGCTs are open. When power is
applied, the DC link (capacitors C1, C2) will be charged through the
precharge resistors (Rpre).
• The pre-charge resistors (Rpre) limit the current flowing into the main
DC link capacitors when power is connected.
• After fixed delay (Gr115.6, Charge Time), software checks the DC
bus voltage. If DC bus voltage reaches 85% of its nominal value,
two protection IGCTs start firing, and the drive is “READY TO RUN” ;
otherwise “CHARGING FAULT” occurs.
• After IGCT switches are closed, they provide the main connection
between the input rectifier bridges and the DC link.
• After the capacitors have been precharged and the protection IGCTs
are closed, the precharge resistors don’t provide any further function.
• Discharge resistors (Rdis) convert electrical energy of the DC
capacitors (C1, C2) to heat when unit is switched off by opening the
MCB.
• After fixed delay (Gr115.5) software checks the DC bus voltage. If
DC bus voltage reaches the value below about 50 V within a time
limit, the grounding isolator is released (GND SWITCH UNLOKED) ;
otherwise DSCHARGING FAULT occurs.

DC Link Filter Capacitors:

• The DC link capacitors C1, C2 filter the output of the bridge rectifiers
and provide a low impedance source of voltage at the DC link.
• For balancing the DC voltage between the two capacitors during
charging, there is a high ohmic resistor Rdis parallel to both of the
capacitors.
• Another task of these resistors is the discharging of the capacitors
when unit is switched off by opening the MCB. In this case, the
electrical energy of the DC capacitors (C1, C2) is converted to heat
(Pj=RI²).
• For the smaller units, it is possible to get both of the DC-link capacitors
in one common case with three terminals.
• See charging / discharging sequence on page 16.
• Remark : the ambient temperature of the capacitors has a great
influence on their life time.

DC Link Output Connections:

• Three DC output (-, N, +) connections are added in case of optional

breaking chopper.

di/dt Limiting Choke:

• Two chokes (Ls1, Ls2) are included to limit the current rise time at
the upper and lower DC busses.
• Needed to protect the freewheeling diodes inside the IGCTs
from excessive di/dt.
• After the disconnection of IGCT from the DC, current drawn from the
DC link increases rapidly. For a short period of time (several
microseconds) this develops a voltage across the choke, that’s why
the choke construction must withstand the large forces caused by
the surge current (di/dt stress caused by the switching IGCTs).
• Also in a case IGCT fails, di/dt chokes limit the surge current.

Clamping circuit:

• A combination diode (Vcl1, Vcl2), resistor (Rs1, Rs2), capacitor (Ccl1,

Ccl2) associated with each choke discharges the energy stored in the
choke by the above process and prevents excessive voltages from
being applied to the inverter IGCTs when an IGCT turns off. Diodes Vcl1,
Vcl2 are identical to neutral point diodes.

Remark:

• On air-cooled units Ls1, Ls2, Rs1, Rs2, Ccl1, Ccl2 are mounted in
the rear of the inverter section. Thus they are not visible from front of
the drive but still accessible by removing the fan.

Output Sine Filter:

• The output sine filter

(Lf, Cf, Re) is respon-
sible for filtering the
inverter output.
With this filter, the
voltage and current
waveform applied to
the motor are nearly
sinusoidal.
• The LC filter reduces the harmonic content of the output voltage.
Therefore, standard motors can be used at their nominal ratings.
• The filter also eliminates all high dv/dt effects caused by the hard
switching IGCTs (Common Mode Voltage phenomena) and thus
voltage reflections in the motor cables and stresses to the motor
insulation are totally eliminated.
• Hence the output sine filter allows a standard motor to be applied
(retrofit) without extra component added, without extra winding
insulation requirements or without cable length limitation.
• For the smaller units, it is possible to get whole sine filter in one
common case with four terminals. For high power ACS1000-types
two cases are needed.

Motor Voltage (after output sine-filter) Motor : 1250 kVA / 4.16 kV

Sine Filter Output:

As a standard the ACS 1000 has a grounded low pass LC sine filter at its
output stage. The low pass frequency is designed to be well below the
lowest switching frequency used by the inverter output stage.
This greatly enhances the purity of both the voltage and current
waveforms applied to the motor.
This in turn provides many important benefits:
• Harmonic heating is virtually eliminated. The drive may be used to
supply standard medium voltage motors (existing or new) without
applying thermal derating factors.
• Voltage reflection and the associated occurrence of voltage doubling
at the motor input terminals is no longer an issue (the causal high
frequency content doesn’t exist). Therefore, any standard medium voltage
winding insulation system (existing or new one) is compatible.
• Motor cables of any length may be utilized without concern
(normal voltage drop issues as found in any electrical installation still
apply).
• Motor bearing failures attributable to capacitive coupled high
frequency current are no longer an issue (the causal high
frequency common mode voltage is eliminated).
• Motor insulation is not subjected to the common mode voltage
which is typical for other drive topologies.
