VLT 3000 Series

Product Manual
Software version: 3.0 and 3.11

This product manual applies to all VLT 3000 frequency converters with software
version 3.0 and 3.11:
* Version 3.0 covers VLT 3002-3022, 200/400/500 V and VLT 3032-3052, 400/500 V.
* Version 3.11 covers VLT 3032-3052, 230 V, and VLT 3060-3250, 380/500 V.
Where version 3.11 deviates from version 3.0 this is described.

The size and voltage of the frequency converter will be identified automatically on
start-up.

Warning:
Touching the electrical parts, even when the mains supply
has been switched off, can cause serious injury or death.
When using VLT types 3002-3052: Wait 4 minutes
When using VLT types 3060-3250: Wait 14 minutes

the cooling ribs, and on operation the installation as standard.
console must be mounted on the VLT.
The console does not have to be disman-
tled for installation, but it can be removed
temporarily by loosening the connecting
bolts from the inside of the VLT.
Remember to attach the console again.
Otherwise there is great danger of cut-out
due to overheating.
The 4 drop-shaped holes in the mounting
console make it possible to attach the
fixing bolts to the wall or in the panel
before suspension of the VLT.
The fixing bolts will be accessible through
the top and bottom of the console to
facilitate tightening.

Base VLT 3100-3250 As an option for VLT 3100-3150 a base

for floor installation can be supplied (code
nr. 175L3047).
VLT 3200-3250 is only intended for floor
installation, and the base is therefore
supplied as part of the VLT. The base
must be attached to the floor using 4 bolts
before installation of the VLT. The front
panel of the base is unscrewed so that the
VLT can be secured through the 4 top
holes in the base.

 Connection of motor

Motor connection With the VLT 3000 Series, all types of

3-phase asynchronous standard motors
can be used.

In general, small motors (220/380 V, / )

Y
are star-connected. Large motors are
delta-connected (380/660 V, / ).

Direction of rotation The factory setting will give clockwise

rotation when the output of the VLT 3000
Series is connected as follows:

Terminal 96 connected with U phase

Terminal 97 connected with V phase
Terminal 98 connected with W phase

The rotation direction can be changed by

swapping the two motor cable phases.

With the VLT 3000 Series controls, the

rotation direction can also be changed
using the reverse function.

Parallel connection VLT 3000 Series can control several

of motors motors connected in parallel. If the motor
speeds must be different, motors of
different rated speeds must be applied.
The motor speed can be changed simul-
taneously and the ratio between the rated
motor speeds is maintained in the whole
range.

The total current consumed by the motors

may not exceed the maximum rated output
current IVLT,N of the VLT 3000 Series.

If motor sizes deviate considerably, prob-

lems may arise during start and at low
speed. This is due to the fact that small
motors have a relatively high ohmic resist-
ance in the stator, and therefore they
require more start voltage during start and
at low speed.

In systems with parallel motor operation,

the internal overcurrent protection cannot
be used as motor protection for the indi-
vidual motor, since the output current must
be programmed for the total motor current.
Additional motor protection should there-
fore be used, e.g. thermistors in each
motor (or individual thermal relay).

the front of the frequency converter.
The control panel consists of a keyboard

The keyboard is used for two purposes:

On the control panel you will see a red

Constant torque compensated normally be made with due consideration
(CT with comp) [7] of problem-free operation, lowest possible
CT 4 quadratic with slip energy consumption and least possible
compensation (CT W 4Q COMP) [8] acoustic noise.

Variable torque (VT) low, medium or high

with constant torque (CT) start is selected if
there is a need for higher break-away
torque than can be achieved with the three
aforementioned characteristics. The con-
stant torque curve is followed until the set
reference is reached, after which the vari-
able torque characteristics are followed.

Constant torque without start compensa-

tion is a load-independent U/f characteristic
used for parallel-coupled motors and
synchronous type motors.

Constant torque with start compensation is

a load-dependent U/f characteristic where
the output voltage is increased on increas-
ing load (current) to maintain con-stant
magnetization of the motor and to compen-
sate for loss in the motor during start.

Constant torque with 4 quadratic slip

compensation has the same function as
described for [7] but with slip compensation
for both motor and regenerative op-
eration. Slip compensation on regenerative
operation will usually require use of the
brake option/module. However, the slip
compensation is only active if the function
is selected in parameter 101.

Closed loop (closed loop) [2] and closed loop.
Description of choices:
Open loop is selected when parallel-coup-

used, or if slip compensation is not required
for another reason.
Slip compensation is selected on normal
operation where constant motor speed is
required, with varying load.
Closed loop is selected if operation with
process feedback is required. This selection
also requires selection of feedback type in

Current signal (20 mA signal) [2] Description of choices:
Preprogrammed value is selected when a
fixed set limit for current is required. This
current limit is set in parameter 209.
Voltage signal is selected if the current limit
is to be changed during operation with the
help of a control signal of e.g. 0-10 V on
analogue input 53 (parameter 412) where
0 V will correspond to 0% current and 10 V
to the value in parameter 209.
Current signal is selected on e.g. 0-20 mA
on analogue input 60 (parameter 413).
Here 0 mA will correspond to 0% current
limit and 20 mA will correspond to the value
in parameter 209.

Note:
The start conditions (terminals 18 and
27) must be present together with a
speed reference (possibly digital ref.
parameter 205-208) so that current limit
control can be used.

Warning:
If the aforementioned conditions exist
when the unit is switched on, the motor
can rotate for up to 5 sec. even though
the current limit setting is 0.

After automatic motor adaption the unit goes

AUTOTUN.OK or AUTOTUN.FAULT.
The unit can be reset by pressing Stop

up to 50% load on the shaft.
Automatic motor adaption is possible only

ance with the selected ramp time in param-

Binary input 16 built-in thermistor is to be able to stop the
(Input 16) frequency converter if the motor overheats.
(Continued) The cut-out value is 3 k. The thermistor

If a motor instead of the thermistor is

equipped with a Klixon thermal contact,
this can also be used on this input. On
operation of parallel-coupled motors, the
thermistors can be connected in series, the
number depending on the thermistors
ohmic value in heated operating status.

NB: If a thermistor is selected in parameter

Address 01- 99 01 master (PLC or PC) addresses 00, the
(Address) message is written to all connected VLT
frequency converters simultaneously

give a reply to the master. If the number of

501 Value: This parameter sets the speed at which data
Baud rate 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 is transferred.

be the following:
The connected motor is very small or very

The motor is loaded more than 50%.
The connected motor is a special motor,
e.g. a synchronous motor.
The fault can be due to electrical noise,
