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:

G Transient overtorque necessary for starting G Maximum available torque at low speeds with no adjustment required (from 5 to 50/60 Hz) G 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 2

Altivar 16 AC Drive Introduction Configuring the Altivar 16 for the application Three option cards are available for customizing the Altivar 16 to the following applications (2) : G Material handling or general use G Pumps and fans G Textile or wood industry (high speed motors) Each option card provides parameters specific to its application as well as additional inputs and outputs. 2 3 1 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. 3
