1.5 Hazards
Electric Shocks

DANGER!
Ignoring the following may result in injury:
• This equipment can endanger life by exposure to rotating machinery
and high voltages.
• The equipment must be permanently earthed due to the high earth
leakage current, and the inverter motor must be connected to an
appropriate safety earth.
• Ensure all incoming supplies are isolated before working on the
equipment. Be aware that there may be more than one supply
connection to the inverter.
• There may still be dangerous voltages present at power terminals
(motor output, supply input phases, DC bus and the brake, where
fitted) when the motor is at standstill or is stopped.
• For measurements use only a meter to IEC 61010 (CAT III or higher).
Always begin using the highest range.
CAT I and CAT II meters must not be used on this product.
• Allow at least 10 minutes for the inverter's capacitors to discharge to
safe voltage levels (<50V). Use the specified meter capable of
measuring up to 1000V dc & ac rms to confirm that less than 50V is
present between all power terminals and between power terminals and
earth.
• Unless otherwise stated, this product must NOT be dismantled. In the
event of a fault the inverter must be returned. Refer to "Routine

4 Introduction
4.1 About this Hardware Installation Manual
Users
This Manual is intended for use by the installer of the AC20 series Inverters. It assumes a reasonable level
of understanding in this discipline.

There is a separate Software Reference Manual – DOC-0017-13 “AC20 Series – Software Reference
Manual”, that is intended for use by the user and programmer of the AC20 series Inverters.

Manual Organisation
This Hardware Installation Manual is organised into chapters, indicated by the numbering on the edge of
each page.
If the manual is to be printed, it is designed so that it should be printed double-sided using the long-edge for
binding.

The Manual is ordered in a sequence that takes the user through the product installation process, resulting
in the basic operation of the drive.

Information for the full AC20 product is referred to as “the Inverter” or “drive” throughout the manual.

Product coding: Any “x” within a product code indicates there are variants. See ‘Chapter 12: AC20 Series
Product Codes’ section for more information.

Manual Revision
This revision replaces all previous revisions of this document. Parker has made every effort to ensure that
this document is complete and accurate at the time of printing. In accordance with our policy of continuous
product improvement, all data in this document is subject to change or correction without prior notice.

Lifting the Inverter

CAUTION!
HEAVY OBJECT
- Always ensure that all lifting equipment is suitably sized to support the
weight of the product.
- These models are heavy and will require the use of a forklift or hoist to
lift and install it into position.
- Pay attention to the centre of gravity of the product. This is marked on
the product packaging.

Frames 2 – 6:
These products can be lifted by an individual. Care must be taken when handling the products to avoid
injury.

Frame 7:
A forklift, or two people, are required when handling this frame size. Again, care must be taken to avoid
injury.
This product will stand up vertically on a flat surface.

Frames 8 – 10:
A forklift is required for handling these frame sizes. Lifting eyes are available for use during this process.
Hooks and lifting slings should be used to lift the inverter out of its packaging and to stand it up vertically on
a flat surface, before moving it to a new location:

Lifting eyes
Lifting rod

1. Insert a lifting rod through the lifting

eyes at the top of the product.

2. Use a forklift to lift the inverter using

the lifting rod.
With the inverter hanging vertically on
the forklift with the lifting rod, it is now
free to be maneuvered into its
installation location.

DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

Ventilation Clearance Requirements

The inverter gives off heat in normal operation and must therefore be mounted to allow the free flow of air
through the ventilation slots and heatsink:
- Maintain minimum clearances for ventilation as given in the tables below to ensure adequate
cooling of the inverter, and that heat generated by other adjacent equipment is not transmitted to
the inverter.
- Be aware that other equipment may have its own clearance requirements.
- When mounting two or more inverters together, these clearances are additive.
- Ensure that the mounting surface is normally cool.
- The inverter must be mounted in a suitable cubicle.

6.2 Electrical
IMPORTANT
Please ensure that you have read and are familiar with the ‘Safety’
chapter before proceeding with the electrical installation.

DANGER!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Terminal covers, main covers, and cover fixings must remain in place
while the drive is energised.
These should only ever be removed once the supply to the unit and/or
system has been disconnected, and the residual energy in the DC link
capacitors has been discharged.

- All activities covered in this chapter should be carried out when there is no power to the
inverter.
- If the drive has been powered up, ensure enough time has elapsed that the inverter has
discharged its residual energy.
- Always check that the voltages on the user terminals are at a safe level (<50V) before
carrying out any of these activities.

- STO always overrides any attempt to start the inverter. If one or both STO control inputs is
requesting the STO function, the inverter will not start.
- Refer to ‘Chapter 8: Safe Torque Off (STO): SIL2, PLd’ for further information.

Inverter Connections
AC Line Input Connections:
Incoming AC line supply connections should be wired into terminals:
- L ‘Live’ & N ’Neutral’ on single phase products (20G-12-…)
- L1, L2 & L3 on three phase products (20G-3x-… & 20G-4x-…)
On three phase products, phase rotation is not critical.

AC Motor Output Connections:

Output motor supply connections should be wired into terminals U, V & W.
Phase rotation is critical to ensure consistency between the inverter motor control direction and motor shaft
rotation.
The motor direction can be inverted electronically by setting the ‘IM Wiring’ parameter (0182) to ‘TRUE’.
This swaps output phases V & W in the drive firmware. Refer to ‘Chapter 9: Basic Drive Operation’.

Potential Earth (PE) Connections:

Connect both the inverter incoming supply earth cable and motor earth cable to the inverter PE terminals.

DC Dynamic Brake Output Connections:

Where a Dynamic Brake Resistor (DBR) is required for an inverter application, connect the resistor across
terminals DC+ & DBR.

Main Duct Fan Supply Voltage Selection (Frames 9 & 10)

When wiring up the drive, the customer must check that the Main Duct Fan supply voltage has been setup
for the correct AC Line voltage. This is done by checking the ‘Jumper’ link positions on the Fan Voltage
Selection PCB:

1. Unscrew the 4x upper

panel fixings.

2. Slide the upper panel up to expose and

access the Fan Supply Voltage Selection
PCB ‘Jumper’ links.
Note: The MMI mounted on the upper panel
is plugged into the control board, so be
careful when handling the upper panel.

By default, the fan supply jumper links are fitted in the “380V Jumper” positions as shown in the image
above.
For 480V line supplies, the links should be moved from CN2 & CN3, to the “480V Jumper” positions CN4 &
CN5 as shown below:

Y-Capacitors & VDR Earth Disconnects

The AC20 products are fitted with EMC filter capacitors connected between ‘live’ AC Line (and in some
instances DC Link) circuits to earth. These capacitors are referred to as Y-Capacitors.
In some system applications where RCD’s are in circuit, or where the drive is connected on an IT or open
delta supply, these Y-Capacitors may need to be disconnected from earth. Removable links are provided to
enable users to perform this task.
By default:
- AC Line Y-Caps are connected to earth (‘EMC’ connector ‘J1’, is fitted in position 1 - 3).
- DC Link Y-Caps are connected to earth (‘P -> PE’ connector ‘J2’ is fitted in position 1 - 3).

Most products are also fitted with input line voltage suppression devices connected between ‘live’ AC Line
circuits to earth. These suppression devices are referred to as VDRs.
In some system applications where the product is exposed to large, transient voltage events on the power
supply that it is connected to, it is recommended that the VDRs are connected to earth as a means of
protecting the drives input rectification stage. Removable links are provided to enable users to perform this
task.
By default:
- VDRs are NOT connected to earth (‘VAR’ connector ‘Y1’, is fitted in position 2 - 4).

A summary of links fitted to each product is shown below:

7.2 External EMC Filter

Additional external EMC filters are sometimes required to meet specific conducted emissions standards
and environments.
All products have internal filters that meet the Category C3 limits defined in EN61800-3. Where this
performance is not adequate for a customer’s application, the Conducted Emissions plots provided in
‘Chapter 11: Compliance’ allow for the selection or design of an additional external EMC filter to meet
customer’s needs.
EMC advice to consider during the product installation can also be found in this section.

7.3 AC Line Choke

An External AC Line Choke may be required on the line supply to the drive:
1. On supplies delivering >12kA but <50kA RMS symmetrical Amperes, 480V maximum.
2. To mitigate supply quality issues.

Where required, Parker suggest the following AC Line Choke ratings:

using the formulas below:

Z = AC Line Choke Impedance (%)
Iin = Rated Input Current (A)

7.4 Dynamic Braking Resistor

Dynamic Brake Resistors should be used when an application requires regenerated power from the motor
to be dissipated, usually during motor deceleration.
The AC20 Series products are all fitted with an internal brake switch as standard, ready for connection to
an external Dynamic Brake Resistor.

Resistor Power Requirement Calculation

The Dynamic Brake Resistor must be rated to absorb peak braking power during deceleration, as well as
the average power over the complete cycle. These values can be calculated using the formulas below:

Peak Braking Power:

0.0055 𝑥𝑥 𝐽𝐽 𝑥𝑥 (𝑛𝑛12 − 𝑛𝑛2²)

𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 =
𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡
Where:
Ppk = Peak Braking Power (W)
J = Total Inertia (kgm²)
n1 = Initial Speed (rpm)
n2 = Final Speed (rpm)
tb = Braking Time (s)

Average Braking Power:

𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 =
𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡

Where:
Pav = Average Braking Power (W)
Ppk = Peak Braking Power (W)
tc = Cycle Time (s)
tb = Braking Time (s)

Resistor Selection
Once the peak and average braking power of the application is calculated, an appropriately rated resistor
will need to be selected. The resistor value will need to be higher than the minimum resistor value specified
for that power stack.
Refer to ‘Chapter 13: Technical Information’ for minimum resistor values that can be used with each power
stack.

DOC-0017-04-EN-B 04.04.2023 63 (154)

DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

Parker recommends the use of cubicle mount metal clad resistors and offer an optimised range, specified
below:

Power Rating Resistance Continuous Current

Order Code (W) (Ω) Rating (A)
CZ467715 60 500 0.3
CZ467714 100 200 0.7
CZ389853 100 100 1.0
CZ467717 200 100 1.4
CZ388397 200 56 1.9
CZ463068 200 56 1.9
CZ467716 500 56 3.0
CZ388396 500 36 3.7

It is recommended that a large safety margin be incorporated to ensure that the resistors are not
overloaded.

Resistor Protection Devices

Where a Dynamic Brake Resistor is used, Parker recommends the addition of a thermal overload switch
(motor starter) or fuse (of aM type or equivalent), to be fitted in series with the resistor. This is to provide
protection to the component:

Thermal Overload Switch Fuse

Dynamic Dynamic
Braking Braking
Resistor Resistor

Thermal Fuse
Overload Switch

It is recommended the thermal overload switch / fuse is sized with a 10% margin greater than the
theoretical continuous current.
Where a fuse is used, consideration must also be taken to ensure that the peak current in the resistor is
less than 6.3x the nominal fuse rating.
Users should also be aware of the instantaneous power in the resistor.
Note: The values mentioned above are general guidelines. The user should check the I*t curves in
the component datasheet when sizing the correct protection device for the application.

7.5 AC Motor Choke

The maximum rate of Voltage rise (dv/dt) present at the inverter output can be as high as 10,000V/µs.
Adding an AC Motor Choke between the inverter output and motor:
1. Reduces the dv/dt and peak voltages present at the motor, which in turn reduces the stress applied
to the motor insulation.
2. Eliminates potential nuisance overcurrent trips in installations with long motor cable runs.
3. Limits parasitic capacitance flowing to earth.
Refer to ‘Chapter 11: Compliance’ for maximum motor cable lengths.
Where a choke is deemed necessary, Parker suggest the following AC Motor Choke ratings:

The drive is used in typical applications such as pump controls, packaging machines, textile machines,
printing machines, or material forming machines.
Safe Torque Off (STO) is an important and widely used safety function, deployed to prevent the unexpected
start-up of motors.
STO functionality enables an operator to disable the torque at motor shafts or deactivate forces at linear
motors and actuators via digital inputs, before commencing work in a potentially hazardous area.

This section provides general information about Safe Torque Off (STO).
Two safety functions can be implemented with the inverter:
1. Safe Torque Off (STO)
2. Safe Stop 1 (SS1).
In order to meet all aspects of STO and SS1, an external safety control unit should be used.
To implement Safe Stop 1 (SS1), the external safety control unit causes the drive to decelerate to rest.
Once at rest, it invokes STO in the inverter. Please refer to EN61800-5-2:2017 para 4.2.3.3 for the formal
definitions.

It is the user’s responsibility to:

1. Risk assess the machine.
2. Design, implement and assess an appropriate solution for each application to meet all relevant
safety requirements.
In accordance with the machine standards 2006/42/EG, EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 13849-1 and
EN ISO 14121-1, it is the machine manufacturer who must project the safety system for the entire machine,
including all integrated components. This includes the electrical drives.

Note: STO is an electronic inhibit intended for use during normal operation of the machine, but It can also
be used in automatic, set-up and cleaning operation modes. However, it is not intended for use during
machine maintenance, repair, replacement or other similar activities. For these activities, recognised
electrical power isolation devices and lock-off procedures should be used.
The inverter STO function is a factory-fitted and factory-tested feature. See ‘Section 8.5: STO Safety
Warnings and Limitations’.

STO Functional Description

STO is a means of preventing an inverter from delivering rotational force to its connected electric motor.
Please refer to EN61800-5-2:2017 para 4.2.3.2 for the formal definition.
To ensure a high degree of safety, two independent STO control channels are implemented in hardware,
providing the safety sub function STO. The STO circuits in the inverter are designed such that a fault in one
control channel will not affect the other channel’s ability to prevent the drive from starting, i.e., the STO
function of the inverter is tolerant to any single fault. It may not be tolerant to an accumulation of faults. This
is in keeping with its declared safety ratings. For complete STO functionality, it is necessary to use the
motor with the correct motor cable and correct STO input wiring.
STO always overrides any attempt to start the drive. If one or both STO control inputs is requesting the
STO function, the drive will not start, even if for example, the drive’s software malfunctions and tries to
cause the motor to turn.
The STO function is implemented in hardware; it overrides all software activities. The only software
involvement is to report the STO status to the user via the onboard inverter display or remote keypad
(MMI), serial communications link, or user terminal as defined by the drive configuration.

8.2 Alignment to European Standards

2. General Requirements of Category 3:

- A single failure will not lead to loss of the STO safety function.
- Failure of more than one component can lead to the loss of the STO safety function.
- Most but not all single component failures will be detected. Diagnostic Coverage (DC) is
required to be at least 60% (i.e., the minimum required for ‘low’ diagnostic coverage).
- Detected component failures will result in the STO function being applied without
intervention from the user.
- The risk associated with the loss of STO safety function caused by multiple failures must
be understood and accepted by the user.
- The user must undertake a risk analysis and specify suitable components that, when
connected together, meet the risk assessment requirements.
- Mean Time To Failure (dangerous) (MTTFd) of each STO channel must be ≥ 30 years.
- Common Cause Failure (CCF) score must be ≥ 65 according to Annex F of the standard.
3. Performance Level (PL) d:
- Average probability of dangerous failure per hour (PFH) must be ≤ 10-6

including assessing and validating it. Parker will not accept any liability for
failure to do this or any consequential loss or damage.

Applications NOT Requiring STO Functionality:

The example below shows the drives’ 24V output voltage used to permanently wire the STO inputs in the
‘High’ state, i.e., STO DISABLED (drive operational):

To invoke STO:
1. When the motor is at standstill, open the ‘STO Request’ contacts.
2. STO will now be ‘Active’ on the drive, for as long as required.
Note: Opening the ‘STO Request’ contacts when the motor is running will result in the motor
coasting to a stop.

STOA Externally fused 24V input connected via ‘Safety Door Closed’ contacts
STOB Externally fused 24V input connected via ‘Safety Door Closed’ contacts

To run the drive:

1. Close the ‘Safety Door’ so the contacts and closed circuit (STOA & STOB inputs are supplied with
24V).
2. Close the ‘Run Forward’ contact.
To stop the drive:
1. Open the ‘Run Forward’ contact and wait for the motor to come to a standstill.
To invoke STO:
1. When the motor is at standstill, open the ‘Safety Door’ so that the contacts are open circuit (no volts
on STOA & STOB inputs).
2. STO will now be ‘Active’ on the drive, for as long as required.
Note: Opening the ‘Safety Door’ so that the contacts open when the motor is running will result in
the motor coasting to a stop.

The line guiding to the external switches must be separated channel-wise or they must be specially
protected i.e., using shielded cables. A relocation of this wiring is not permitted.
In the example illustrated above, the contacts of the ‘Safety Door’ need to be designed mechanically linked,
in accordance with EN 60947-5-1, annex K.

SS1 / STO Implementation using a Safety Control Unit (Stop Category 1):
The example below shows Safe Stop (SS1) implementation that brings a motor to rest in a controlled
manner, before invoking STO on the drive after a time delay determined by an external Safety Control Unit.

The Safety Control Unit shown in this example is a Sick UE410-MU module. This configuration conforms to
SS1 as defined in EN 61800-5-2:2017 para 4.2.3.3 c). Other products are available on the market that may
better suit user’s application, so the user must select and assess appropriate equipment:

DI4 Stop: 24V digital input
STOA 24V input connected via ‘Safety Control Unit’ DODE o/p signal
STOB 24V input connected via ‘Safety Control Unit’ DODE o/p signal

Note: The maximum input level of STOA & STOB inputs is 25.2V. This must be taken into
consideration when selecting a 24V power supply to generate VCC, i.e. VCC(max) < 25.2V.

On system power-up:
1. The Safety Control Unit outputs are de-energised (open-circuit), so STO on the drive is invoked
(active).
To run the drive:
1. Ensure that the ‘Safety Demand’ is reset, i.e., contacts are closed.
2. Close the ‘Start PB’ switch to ensure the Safety Control Unit is reset. This should enable outputs
Q3 & Q4, applying 24V onto STOA & STOB inputs, and hence disabling the STO function.

DOC-0017-04-EN-B 04.04.2023 75 (154)

DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

3. Close the ‘Drive Start PB’ switch to run the drive.

To stop the drive:
1. Open the ‘Drive Stop PB’ switch and wait for the motor to come to a standstill.
To invoke STO:
1. Open the ‘Safety Demand’ contacts.
2. If the motor is running, the Safety Control Unit output Q1 will initiate a drive ‘Stop’ to decelerate the
motor to a standstill.
3. Safety Control Unit outputs Q3 & Q4 are configurable DODE (Delay on de-energise) signals that
will de-energise on initiation, after a delay time.
The delay time must be setup on the Safety Control Unit device so that the maximum deceleration
time of the drive has ensured the motor is at a standstill before the delay time has elapsed.
Note: Opening the ‘STO Demand’ contacts when the motor is running with an insufficient
delay time set, will result in the motor coasting to a stop.
4. Once the time delay has elapsed on Safety Control Unit outputs Q3 & Q4, the outputs will de-
energise, and hence STO will now be ‘Active’ on the drive for as long as required.

Note: The Q1 output signal from the Safety Control Unit works using test pulses. Therefore, the
digital input signal received by the drive must filtered. This can be implemented by adding a
‘Debouncing’ Function block to the relevant input signal using the DSELite configuration tool.

In the example illustrated, the contacts of the ‘Safety Demand’ (i.e., Emergency Stop button) need to be
designed mechanically linked, in accordance with EN 60947-5-1, annex K.
Other Safety Control Units can be used if it meets all requirements for cat 3 and PLd that have a high-
quality fault detection method with dynamic cross monitoring test pulses. The maximum test pulse time of
these devices must be < 1.5msec (active low OSSD).
For the delayed initiation of STO, the machinery risks have to be considered from the machine designer.

8.5 STO Safety Warnings & Limitations

WARNING!
Ignoring the following may result in serious
injury or death:
• Only competent personnel are permitted to install the STO function
and commission it. They must disseminate and make available all
appropriate instructions and documentation to all personnel who may
come into contact with or operate the STO and provide suitable
training on the inverter to ensure it is operated in the correct manner
and to avoid damage, injury or loss of life.
Personnel with many years of experience in the field of machine safety
with inverters is expected.
Planning, installation and initial system commissioning requires a
detailed understanding in this area.
• Standards and accident prevention regulation associated with the
application must be known and respected as well as risks, protective
and emergency measures.
• We assume that these specialists have a good knowledge of English.
In the case of deviating regulations (in particular work by persons who
do not speak English), the machine manufacturer must provide these
persons with the necessary information in the national language.

DOC-0017-04-EN-B 04.04.2023 77 (154)

DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

• It is not permitted to open the inverter for repair or modification. The

inverter STO function is a factory-fitted and factory-tested feature.
Repairs to the inverter STO featured-product are to be carried out only
by Parker authorised repair centres. Any unauthorised attempt to
repair or disassemble the product will render any warranty null and
void, and STO integrity could be impaired.
PARKER WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO
OBEY THESE INSTRUCTIONS OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL
INJURY, DEATH, LOSS OR DAMAGE.
Only competent personal with relevant experience are allowed to open
the inverter for making changes to the power filters (i.e. removal of Y-
Caps & VDR earth connections), or fitting optional communication
cards.
If internal connections between the power stack and control card have
been disconnected and reconnected, then the accurate connection
must be checked by starting the motor (running the drive), and by
performing a STO comprehensive check as specified in Section 8.6.1
below.
• It is important that the inverter product environment including all
aspects of its CE conformance and IP etc., specified elsewhere in this
manual, is maintained to ensure the safety integrity of the STO
function.
• Should synchronous motors be operated in the field weakening range,
operation of the STO function may lead to overspeed and destructive
overvoltages as well as explosions in the drive. Therefore, the STO
function must NEVER be used with synchronous drives in the field-
weakening range. The user must ensure this condition is prevented.
• When using synchronous permanent magnet motors, shaft movement
over a small angle is possible if two faults occur simultaneously in the
power section of the drive. This depends on the number of motor
poles. The maximum angle is:
o Rotary motors: 360° / number of poles.
o Linear motors: 180° electrically
It is the user’s responsibility to assess, validate and safeguard as
necessary against this potential hazard.
• If external forces can act on the motor and/or load to cause it to move,
additional measures must be taken by the user to restrain it, for
example a mechanical brake. Examples of external forces are
suspended loads (effect of gravity), and other web-tensioning devices.
This must be respected above all for vertical axes without self-locking
mechanical devices or weight balance.
• The inverter STO feature does not provide or guarantee any galvanic
isolation in accordance with EN 60204-1 Section 5.5. This means that
the entire system must be isolated from the mains power supply with a
suitable electrical isolation device before any drive or motor
maintenance or replacement procedures are attempted. Note that even
after the power has been isolated, dangerous electrical voltages may
still be present in the inverter. Safe discharge times and details are
specified in ‘Chapter 1: Safety’ section of this manual.

78 (154) DOC-0017-04-EN-B 04.04.2023

 DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

• The STO function must not be used for electrical isolation of the
inverter and power. Whenever any personnel require to work on the
drive, associated motor or other power items, they must always use
recognised and suitable electrical isolation devices.
• The STO0V terminal must be connected to earth at one common point
in the drive system. For multi-drive systems this can be a shared earth
point.
• The STO serial communications or display messages relating to
accessing or viewing any safety monitoring statuses are for information
only and should not be relied on. They are not part of the drive module
safety system and its associated PL/SIL declared ratings. Any
customer use of these must be appropriately risk assessed in
accordance with the relevant standards or regulations.
• The STO safety function must be tested regularly - at least once a
week (see Section 8.6.3 below). The comprehensive test must be
completed once a year (see section 8.6.1 below).
• When using an external safety control unit with adjustable time delay,
for example when implementing an SS1 function, the time delay must
be protected to prevent unauthorised adjustment. The adjustable time
delay on the safety control unit must be set to a value greater than the
duration of the braking ramp controlled by the inverter with maximum
load inertia and from maximum speed. Any external forces must also
be considered, e.g. effects due to gravity.
• During the active braking phase of SS1 or Stop category 1 (controlled
stop with safely monitored time delay according to EN60204-1), faulty
operation of the drive must be allowed for. If a fault in the drive system
occurs during the active braking phase, the load may coast to an
unguided stop or might even actively accelerate until expiration of the
defined time delay. It is not the remit of this document to specify these
measures. This is for the user to assess.
• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that their overall control
implementation recovers safely from supply loss or dips.
• In all instances it is the user’s responsibility to formally perform suitable
risk assessments and invoke and fully validate the necessary risk
reduction measures after having thoroughly understood the
application, the drive product, and its features. Of special relevance is
to assess the risk of the two STO user inputs shorting together.
• There is maximum cable length of 25m for the STO inputs allowed.

8.6 STO Functional Checks

Two levels of STO functional checks are required periodically:
- Comprehensive check
- Regular check
The user / machine builder must determine the frequency of these checks based on their knowledge, use of
the machine, appropriate standards and any legal requirements.
When STO becomes active during any test, power to the motor must be seen by the user to be quenched
instantaneously (the inverter should respond in less than 15 milliseconds).
All STO checks should be performed after the inverter has been commissioned for speed control.

DOC-0017-04-EN-B 04.04.2023 79 (154)

DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

Comprehensive Checks
A comprehensive check of the STO function ensures the overall integrity of the STO functionality. It proves
the independent operation of each channel individually (including during the normal dual channel
operation), and the essential single fault detection.
It must always be performed:
- During factory test.
- During commissioning activities.
- After repair or replacement of the inverter.
- After any hardware or software design changes which may affect the inverter concerned.
- After each intervention into the system and control wiring.
- A minimum of once per year.
- If the machine has been idle for more than a period of time determined by the machinery builder
and user risk assessments.
The check must be made by suitably qualified professional personnel following all necessary safety
precautions. They must be fully conversant with all equipment concerned.
Note: In the following text where it is required that “all power” is removed, remove power and wait
10 minutes.
The performance of the individual test steps of the STO function should be logged.

WARNING!
Potential loss of Safety Function:
During this test, the safety function must not be relied on because at times
only one channel will be activated and therefore the intended safety
function may not be available.
STO will be activated while the motor is rotating, which is not the normal
operation. Therefore, the user must ensure it is safe to do this test using
an appropriate risk assessment and taking any additional risk reduction
measures.

The following steps must be performed and recorded during a comprehensive check:

Regular Checks
A regular check is intended only to demonstrate that the STO is functional. It will not always detect the loss
of a single channel, so it is therefore important for the user and/or machinery builder to determine the
frequency of the comprehensive checks based on their knowledge and application of the machine.
A regular check is recommended once per week.
Where a regular check coincides with the timing of a comprehensive check, the comprehensive check must
take precedence.
The following steps must be performed and recorded during a regular check:

The ‘SEQ’ & ‘REF’ LEDs will illuminate.

2. ‘Autotune’ Routine (‘Vector Control’ Strategy Only):

If the drive ‘Control Strategy’, has been set to ‘Vector Control’ (either ‘Sensorless’ or ‘Encoder
Feedback’, an ‘Autotune’ routine will need to be performed prior to running the drive. This is required for
the drive to calculate and model the motor parameters (i.e., Magnetising Current, Rotor Time Constant,
Stator Resistance, Mutual & Leakage Inductances) for better speed and torque control. Failure to perform
an ‘Autotune’ routine will result in poor motor control, or most likely spurious drive trips when enabled.
There are two types of ‘Autotune routine:
1. Rotating
2. Stationary
A ‘Rotating’ autotune on an uncoupled motor is always the preferred autotune ‘Type’ whenever possible. If
this is not practical, a ‘Stationary’ routine is possible where the motor shaft will not rotate. However, the result
is usually lower dynamic performance.

To perform an ‘Autotune’ routine:

- Navigate to the ‘Autotune’ sub-menu:

EMC Compliance
A list of EMC Compliance definitions relevant to this section are listed in the table below:

Terminology Description
Environment
Environment that includes domestic premises, it also includes establishments
directly connected without transformers to a low-voltage power supply
First Environment: network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Note: Houses, apartments, commercial premises or offices in a residential
building are examples of first environment locations.
Environment that includes all establishments other than those directly
connected to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies buildings
Second Environment: used for domestic purposes.
Note: Industrial areas, technical areas of any building fed from a dedicated
transformer are examples of second environment locations.
Category
PDS (Power Drive System) of rated voltage less than 1000V, intended for
Category C1:
use in the first environment.
PDS (Power Drive System) of rated voltage less than 1000V, which is neither
a plug-in device nor a movable device and, when used in the first
environment, is intended to be installed and commissioned only by a
Category C2: professional.
Note: A professional is a person or an organisation having necessary skills in
installing and/or commissioning power drive systems, including their EMC
aspects.
PDS (Power Drive System) of rated voltage less than 1000V, intended for
Category C3: use in the second environment and not intended for use in the first
environment.
PDS (Power Drive System) of rated voltage equal to or above 1000V, or
Category C4: rated current equal to or above 400A, or intended for use in complex systems
in the second environment.

EMC Standards
The EMC standards are concerned with two types of emission:
1. Radiated:
Those in the band 30MHz – 1000MHz which radiate into the environment.
2. Conducted:
Those in the band 150kHz – 30MHz which are injected into the supply.

Radiated Emissions: Standards

The Radiated Emissions standards have common roots (CISPR 11 & CISPR14), so there is some
commonality in the test levels applied in different environments as shown in the table below:

Standards Limits*

These limits have no 30 - 230 50
Category C3 relationships with the generic
standards. 230 - 1000 60
* = Limit has been adjusted for a measurement distance of 10m.
For category C1, if the field strength measurement at 10m cannot be made because of high ambient
noise levels or for other reasons, the measurement may be made at 3m.
If the 3m distance is used, the measurement result obtained shall be normalised to 10m by subtracting
10dB from the result.
In this case, care should be taken to avoid near field effects, particularly when the PDS (Power Drive
System) is not of an appropriately small size, and at frequencies near 30MHz.
When multiple drives are used, 3dB attenuation per drive needs to be added.

Conducted Emissions: Standards

The Conducted Emissions standards have common roots (CISPR 11 & CISPR14), so there is some
commonality in the test levels applied in different standards and environments as shown in the table below:

Standards Limits*

WARNING!
The drive is suitable for use on TN supplies when fitted with the internal
filter. When used on an IT supply, all Y-cap connections to earth need to
be removed, hence the filter effectiveness is reduced.
Refer to ‘Chapter 6: Installation’ for details on how to remove the Y-cap
and VDR disconnects when installing the product on an IT supply.

Conducted Emissions Plots

Where a solution is required that is not met by the AC20 product range offering, filtered emissions plots
have been provided to allow specialist EMC filter design companies to tailor a design to meet the
customer’s needs.
Notes on Conducted Emissions Plots:
- Plot is of ‘worst’ line phase of largest power rating, of a given frame size.
- All tests carried out with an unloaded motor.
- Shielded motor cable, 25m in length was used.
- All filter capacitors were connected in circuit (i.e., Y-Caps) for each test.

EMC Installation Guidance

Protective Earth (PE) Connections

WARNING!
Local wiring regulations take precedence and may require the protective
earth connection of the motor to be connected locally, i.e., not as specified
in these instructions. This will not cause shielding problems because of
the relatively high RF impedance of the local earth connection.

When installing an AC20 in control cubicle, Parker recommends using a star-point earthing method where
‘noisy’ and ‘clean’ earths are separated out. Four separate earth bus bars, three of which are insulated from
the mounting panel, connect to a single earth point (star point) near the incoming safety earth from the main
supply:

1. Clean Earth Busbar (insulated from the mounting panel):

- Used as a reference point for all signal and control cabling.
- It may be further subdivided into an analog and a digital reference busbar, each separately
connected to the star earthing point.
- The digital reference is also used for any 24V control.
- Control / Signal, Encoder, Analogue Input and Communication cables require screening,
with the screen connected at the inverter end only.
However, if high frequency noise is a problem, earth the screen at the non-inverter end via
a 0.1µF capacitor, and move the screen connect at the inverter end from the control board
terminals to the protective earth point.
2. Dirty Earth Busbar (insulated from the mounting panel):
- Used for all power earths, i.e., protective earth connections.
- It is also used as a reference for any 110 or 220V control used, and for the control
transformer screen.
3. Metal Work Earth Busbar:
- The control cubicle mounting panel is used as this earth busbar and should provide
earthing points for all parts of the cubicle including panels and doors.
- This busbar is also used for power screened cables that terminate near to (≈10cm), or
directly into an inverter, such as Motor cables, Dynamic Brake Resistor cables (and
resistors themselves), or connections between inverters.
- Use U-clips to clamp the screened cables to the back panel to ensure optimum HF
connection.
4. Signal / Control Screen Earth Busbar (insulated from the mounting panel):
- Used for signal/control screened cables which do not go directly to the inverter.
- Place this busbar as close as possible to the point of cable entry.
- ‘U’ clamp the screened cables to the busbar to ensure an optimum HF connection.

Flexible, large cross-section cable or braids should be used to ensure low HF impedance.
Bus bars should be arranged so that the connections to the single earth point is as short as possible.

DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

Cable routing should be planned in a way that segregates certain cable types to meet EMC compliance:
- Use the shortest possible motor cable lengths.
- When connecting multiple motors to a single inverter, use a star junction point for motor cable
connections. Use a metal box with entry and exit cable glands to maintain shield integrity.
- Keep electrically ‘noisy’ and ‘sensitive’ cables apart.
- Keep electrically ‘noisy’ and ‘sensitive’ parallel cable runs to a minimum. Separate parallel cable
runs by at least 0.25 meters. For runs longer than 10 meters, separation should be increased
proportionally. For example, if the parallel runs were 50m, then the separation would be (50/10) x
0.25m = 1.25m.
- ‘Sensitive’ cables should cross ‘noisy’ cables at 90°.
- Never run ‘sensitive’ cables close or parallel to either the Motor, DC Link or Dynamic Brake circuits
for any distance.
- Never run AC Line Supply, DC Link or Motor cables in the same bundle as either the Signal /
Control or Feedback cables, even if they are screened.
- Ensure the optional External EMC Filter input and output cables are separately routed and do not
couple across the filter.

Mitigating Radiated Emissions

To mitigate against the effects of radiated emissions, the following considerations should be made when
installing the Inverter witihin a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) system:
1. Equipment Placement
Magnetic / Electric Field sensitive equipment should not be placed within 0.25 meters of the
following components in the VSD system:
- Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
- EMC Output Filters
- Input or Output Chokes / Transformers
- The cable between VSD and motor (even when screened/armoured)
- Connections to external braking chopper and resistor (even when screened/armored)
- AC/DC brushed motors (due to commutation)
- DC link connections (even when screened/armoured)
- Relays and contactors (even when suppressed)

120 (154) DOC-0017-04-EN-B 04.04.2023

 DOC-0017-04-EN: AC20 Series - Hardware Installation Manual

2. Additive Emissions
Emissions from individual components tend to be additive. To reduce the emissions:
- The equipment must be mounted in a metal cubicle. Refer to ‘Radiated & Conducted
Emissions: Compliance Overview’ section above.
- The cubicle should be as free of openings as is practical. Vent systems suitable for EMC
applications are available from cubicle vendors and should be used.
3. Radiated Magnetic & Electric Fields
Radiated magnetic and electric fields inside the cubicle will be high and any components fitted
inside must be sufficiently immune:
- All cable entry and exits (power, control, and communication) should use screened cable
- Earth screen at both ends connecting to the motor frame and cubicle.
- Use of screened/armored cable between VSD/cubicle and motor containing the motor
protective earth (PE) connection is most important. If shielded cable is not available, lay
unshielded motor cables in a metal conduit which will act as a shield. The conduit must be
continuous with a direct electrical contact to the VSD and motor housing. If links are
necessary, use braid with a minimum cross-sectional area of 10mm2 (8 AWG).
- Use 360° screen terminations:

4. Installations in Hazardous Areas

Some installations in hazardous areas may preclude direct earthing at both ends of the screen. In
this case earth one end of the screen cable via a 1µF 50Vac capacitor, and the other as normal:
- Keep unshielded cable as short as possible inside the cubicle.
- Always maintain the integrity of the shield. If the cable is interrupted to insert contactors
etc., re-connect the screen using the shortest possible route. Some motor gland boxes and
conduit glands are made of plastic. If this is the case, then braid must be connected
between the screen and the chassis. In addition, at the motor end, ensure that the screen
is electrically connected to the motor frame since some terminal boxes are insulated from
the frame by gasket/paint.
- Keep the length of screen stripped-back as short as possible when making screen
connections.

Issues arising from long Motor Cable runs

Because cable capacitance and hence conducted emissions increase with motor cable length,
conformance to EMC limits is only guaranteed up to a maximum cable length as specified in the table in the
‘Cabling Requirement’ section above.
Screened/armoured cable has significant capacitance between the conductors and screen, which increases
linearly with cable length - typically 200pF/m, though this varies with cable type and current rating.
Long cable lengths may have the following undesirable effects:
- Inverter ‘overcurrent’ trip events as the cable capacitance is charged and discharged at the
switching frequency.
- Increased conducted emissions that degrade the performance of the internal EMC filter due to
common mode choke saturation.
- Increased heating inside the internal EMC filter (as a consequence of a saturated common mode
choke).
- RCD (Residual Current Devices) trips, due to increased high frequency earth current.
These effects can be overcome by adding the following:
- External EMC Filter (Input or Output), located as close as possible to the inverter
- AC Line Chokes
- AC Motor Chokes
Refer to ‘Chapter 7: Associated Equipment’ for recommended Associated Equipment.
For RCD trips, internal Y-Capacitor and Overvoltage Suppressors to earth connections can be removed by
means of a link disconnect. Refer to ‘Chapter 6: Installation’ for details on how to disconnect them from
earth.
