considerations when on variable frequency power. 2.4 VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD) A. Variable Frequency Drive Systems shall be Danfoss VLT 4000 with Adaptable Package Unit. Variable Frequency Drive Systems shall be compatible with any standard NEMA B design 3- phase induction motor. Variable Frequency Drive Systems shall be sized to insure the motor full load amps do not exceed the controller continuous RMS amps. B. The adjustable frequency drive shall convert three-phase, 60 Hz utility power to adjustable voltage and frequency, three phase, AC power for motor speed motor control from 10% to 100% of the motor's 60 Hz speed. Input voltage shall be as specified on the drawings schedules. The input section of the drive shall include line filters, line reactors or isolation transformers as required to meet IEEE 519 for distortion levels of 3% or less. The variable frequency drives shall not interfere with sensitive electronic equipment that is fed from the same power distribution system. C. The output wave form shall be sine coded pulse width modulated. To eliminate acoustical noise, PWM drives shall have a minimum of 2500 pulses per sine. The VFD's input power factor shall be.95 or better at all operating speeds. Efficiency shall be 96% minimum from 0-100% load. To eliminate RFI and EMI, the drive shall comply with FCC rules and regulations, part 15, subpart "J". D. Solid State Ground Fault Protection shall be standard. Those manufacturers that cannot provide this as a standard feature must supply an external protector. Adaptive electronic motor overload protection shall be provided which shall protect both the motor and drive at all frequencies. Electronic thermal overload circuits which properly protect the motor only at full speed shall not be acceptable. The VFD shall sense the load and speed and shall recalibrate the thermal trip curve to insure low speed motor protection. The initial trip point shall be adjustable from at least 40-100% of the VFD amperage rating. E. Isolated control inputs shall be provided. The motor speed shall be directly proportional to 0-10 volt, 4-20 ma, and variable resistance signals. Fire alarm signal for control override to maximum speed at smoke control fans. F. Drive operation options shall be switch selectable and shall include at a minimum the following functions: 1. Automatic speed holding if control signal is lost at 80% of last speed command. 2. The VFD shall provide the following operational features: a. Speed search transfer. The VFD shall be able to start from bypass or fault trip into a spinning load without stopping the motor or creating a fault condition. The VFD shall match the motor's speed and then drive the motor to its proper speed. b. Adjustable current limit threshold. c. Multiple restart upon fault trip. d. Minimum 10:1 speed ratio. e. Individually adjustable acceleration and deceleration patterns, adjustable from 0.1-1800 seconds. Page 4 of 6

The following fault conditions shall cause the VFD to shut-off (trip) and shall be annunciated by LED indicators on the control board. FU: Fuse Blown, OC: Instantaneous Overcurrent, OV: Overvoltage, UV: Undervoltage, OH: Overheat, EB: External Failure, CPF: Control Function Error, CFP-SEL: Control Function Selection Error, OL: Overload. 2. The VFD shall attempt to restart a minimum of 5 times after tripping on a fault. A dry contact on the VFD shall close after the fifth unsuccessful restart attempt. 3. The VFD shall be set by the manufacturer to prevent the possibility of overamperage on the motor in the associated drive. This feature shall be coordinated with the ATC Contractor and the Mechanical Contractor for the project. I. The VFD shall be equipped with a digital operator interface which shall allow the following functions: 1. Digital frequency indication on an LCD display. 2. Digital fault indication on the LCD display. Digital fault reset. Storage and operator initiated recall of the fault conditions in the sequence of occurrence. 3. Auto/Manual operation switch. 4. Digital speed control in 0.1 Hz increments. 5. Tracking of fault/failure history. 6. Display of frequency or RPM. 7. Self diagnostics. J. Where indicated, manual bypass shall provide all the circuitry necessary to safely transfer the motor from the VFD to the power line, or from the line to the controller while the motor is at zero speed. Three motor contactors, electrically interlocked, shall be utilized. Motor protection is to be provided in both the "controller" mode and the "bypass" mode by a motor overload relay. The 115 VAC relay control logic, allowing common start-stop commands in the "controller" mode and the "bypass" mode shall also be included within this enclosure. The bypass shall include a door-interlocked, main power input disconnect circuit breaker providing positive shutdown of all input power to both the bypass circuitry and the VFD. The bypass circuit shall include a second door interlocked input disconnect circuit breaker installed in the VFD.
