POWERFLEX 7000
MEDIUM VOLTAGE AC DRIVES

Improve efficiency and maximize profitability with a single solution


for all your motor control applications from 200 hp to 34,000 hp
(150 kW to 25,400 kW). The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7000
medium voltage drive enables soft-starting and variable-speed control
of processes with high power demands, to reduce energy costs,
maintenance and motor wear. The advanced power semiconductor
technology reduces component count to the lowest of any medium
voltage drive available, translating to increased savings and
reliability, less downtime and fewer spare parts. These drives use
intelligent motor control strategies to further your investment, using
communication software and programmability to monitor and control
your processes. Our entire product line delivers virtually perfect
current and voltage waveforms to allow the use of standard or
existing motors and motor cables. All PowerFlex 7000 medium
voltage drives adhere to the applicable standards from NEC, IEC,
NEMA, UL and CSA. Maximum uptime, ease-of-use and lowest total
cost of ownership is what the PowerFlex 7000 delivers.

Direct-to-Drive Technology Reduce the cost, size and weight of your medium
voltage drive system with the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7000 with Direct-to-Drive
technology. This is the first and only technology that allows you to directly
connect a medium voltage drive to utility power without the requirement of an
isolation transformer. Isolation transformers with multiple secondary windings
are required for traditional AC drives to address line-side harmonic concerns and
common mode voltage. However, typical isolation transformers are large, heavy,
costly, complex and inefficient. Direct-to-Drive technology combines an Active
Front End (AFE) rectifier to dramatically lower line-side harmonics and a
patented DC link inductor to address common mode voltage at its source. By
addressing harmonics and common mode voltage, the isolation transformer
becomes redundant. This reduces system complexity to maximize uptime and
increases system efficiency to lower operational costs. Exceptional output voltage
and current waveforms, true of our entire product line, make this ideal for
retrofit applications and allow the use of standard motors for new applications.

Air-Cooled, PowerFlex 7000 Enhance motor control and increase energy


efficiency on motor applications from 200 hp to 5500 hp (150kW to 4100kW)
with the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7000 air-cooled medium voltage AC variable
frequency drives. Three configurations (Direct-to-Drive, AFE and 18-pulse) allow
optimal flexibility for a variety of installations.

Liquid-Cooled PowerFlex 7000 Users with higher horsepower needs can
reduce energy use and improve process control on motors from 3000 to 8500
hp (2240 to 6340 kW), at 4160 to 6900V nominal supply voltage ratings.
Increase reliability with the closed-loop liquid-cooling system with liquid-to-
air or liquid-to-liquid style heat exchangers options and an integral pump
cabinet. The patented PowerCage modules let you replace power devices in
less than ten minutes. Installation costs are reduced by using a central
cabling cabinet for the complete drive package.

DIRECT-TO-DRIVE
TECHNOLOGY

Reduce Capital, Installation and Operating Costs


Direct-to-Drive technology can:
Reduce capital costs: No isolation transformer purchase required.
Reduce installation costs: No need for an isolation transformer protection
relay, a dv/dt filter, sine filter, motor terminator or special
line-side or motor-side power cables.
Reduce shipping costs: A smaller, lighter drive system is
easier to handle and less costly to ship.
Reduce operating costs: Higher system efficiency and
inherent regenerative capability that can return power to
the utility.
Reduce maintenance costs: Low parts count and many
components are common between the rectifier and inverter.

Reduce Size and Weight of Drive System


Reduced drive system size and weight are a strategic advantage
for industries world-wide, where the use of transformers and
control room space is challenging and expensive, such as on
offshore oil and gas platforms. PowerFlex 7000 with
Direct-to-Drive technology systems are:
Typically smaller and lighter than drive technologies using
isolation transformers.
Perfect for retrofit, process improvement or energy-savings
projects with existing motors, switches and control rooms.

Intelligent Motor Control


All PowerFlex 7000 drives provide Intelligent Motor Control
capabilities such as:

Communications Software
Operator interface software monitors a variety of drive
parameters and trends real-time information to help predict
and prevent downtime.

Power Regeneration
Inherent regeneration provides both the most efficient motor
stopping method and the ability to regenerate power back to
the distribution system.

Synchronous Bypass
Synchronous transfer and bypass capabilities optimize the
efficient control of motors by allowing one drive to control a
multi-motor system.
While the drive controls one motor, critical process
information from each motor is monitored independently.

Configuration #1 - Direct-to-Drive Technology


Direct-to-Drive technology directly connects to the utility power
without an isolation transformer. On new or existing motors,
Direct-to-Drive technology eliminates unnecessary motor filtering
and common mode voltage and saves control room space with a
drive system smaller and lighter than a drive that requires a
transformer. Installation costs are minimized by eliminating the
need for a transformer protection relay, a dv/dt filter, sine filter
or motor terminator and special cables. Available with or without
an integral input starter.

Configuration #2 - AFE Rectifier


The AFE rectifier is available with an integral isolation
transformer (up to 160A in most voltages) or configured for
connection to a separately mounted isolation transformer
(all sizes). This allows for considerable size reduction and the
capability of stepping down from higher distribution voltages.

Configuration #3 - 18 Pulse Rectifier


The 18 Pulse rectifier uses an externally mounted isolation
transformer. This allows for considerable size reduction and the
capability of stepping down from higher distribution voltages.
Indoor dry type, outdoor oil-filled or cast coil transformers can
be used.

SGCT POWER SEMICONDUCTOR

The PowerFlex 7000 uses 6.5kV rated


Symmetrical Gate Commutated Thyristors
(SGCT) and has the fewest number of
inverter switching devices of any MV
drive topology. The power structure is
fuseless, inherently regenerative, and
utilizes a current limiting DC link inductor.
The result is a simple, rugged product
with very low component count, and
optimum reliability.

Low Parts Count The PowerFlex 7000 requires only six inverter
SGCTs (at 2300V) while other drives using IGBTs or IGCTs require
from 18 to 36 power semiconductor switches. The superior
characteristics of the SGCT combined with the fewest number of

applications. Its compact and efficient inverter design results from a
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching pattern for the SGCTs
and is optimized for the lowest possible conduction and switching
losses. The SGCT has a non-rupture, non-arc failure mode, meaning
the fault is contained within the device. This ensures minimum

Compatible with Standard Motors


Motor-friendly waveforms have been the
trademark of Allen-Bradley MV drives since
their introduction in 1990. All PowerFlex
7000 MV drive configurations have near
sinusoidal output current and voltage
waveforms at all speeds and loads, are
compatible with standard induction or
synchronous motors without derating and
do not require an inverter duty motor.

Operation The PWM switching pattern
in the PowerFlex 7000 reduces the
harmonics going to the motor, especially
at lower operating frequencies. The PWM
pattern works in combination with a
small integral capacitor to reduce the Motor
large order harmonics at higher Voltage
frequencies. The result is no additional (VL-L)
motor heating or voltage stress to motor
insulation compared to fixed speed
operation.

Rectifier Design Selection There are two basic rectifier configurations (AFE and 18-Pulse) offered as options for
the PowerFlex 7000. It is advantageous when selecting a rectifier design to have a
good understanding of what the customers needs and limitations are with regards to
power factor, space requirements, harmonic specifications, and cost, etc. Both options
offer efficiency, motor protection, energy savings, and optimization of power quality in
varying degrees. Both of these options comply with the recommended IEEE 519-1992
requirements regarding harmonic distortion in virtually every power system.

AFE Rectifier An Active Front End (AFE) rectifier is shown in Figure 1. This is a particularly attractive
option since it does not require an isolation transformer with multiple secondary windings
to meet IEEE 519-1992 requirements. This results in a drive system that has the highest
efficiency, simplest configuration, and offers the lowest total cost of ownership. The typical
drive efficiency rating at full load full speed is 97.5%. Most available technologies in todays
Medium Voltage market require a multi-winding transformer to mitigate by phase shifting
the undesirable harmonic distortion in the transformer secondary windings. Depending
on the topology, the transformer can have up to 15 sets of secondary windings. This
compounds the complexity of the system.

The AFE rectifier uses a PWM switching pattern that complies with similar rules as the
inverter. The pattern used is a 7-pulse Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) pattern that
eliminates the 5th, 7th and 11th harmonics. The input capacitors are designed to reduce the
current harmonics of the higher order. The filter resonant frequency is placed below 300Hz
where no residual harmonics exist. The filter transfer function technique is used to place
the filter break frequency in a region where no harmonics are present. This prevents the
excitation of system harmonic frequencies.

Other factors that are considered when designing the filter are the input power factor
and the requirement on Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of input current and voltage
waveforms. The AFE rectifier requires only a three-phase input from the customers power
supply. While an isolation transformer is not required to address harmonics, a transformer
can be configured to reduce the higher system voltage to operating voltage level, based on
the variable frequency drive and motor operation voltage (see Figure 1).

18-Pulse Rectifier An 18-pulse phase-controlled rectifier is shown in Figure 3. In an 18-pulse configuration,


IEEE 519-1992 requirements regarding harmonic distortion are met without the need for
passive filters. However, a multi-winding isolation transformer is required to mitigate the low
order harmonics by incorporating phase shifting principles. The resulting line current and
voltage are shown in Figure 3. This option is simple, highly efficient, and easy to use involving
series rectifiers and only three sets of secondary windings on the isolation transformer.
Due to the requirement for the isolation transformer, this option has a larger footprint that
requires additional control room space (for indoor transformer option).

The AFE rectifier switching pattern uses a similar control algorithm to the inverter. The
pattern used is a 7-pulse selective harmonic elimination (SHE) pattern, which eliminates
the 5th, 7th and 11th harmonics. Figure 4 shows the typical rectifier switching pattern with
7-pulse with a single phase representation. This switching pattern is repeated for all three
phase shifting 120 electrical degrees, resulting in a 42-pulse overall rectifier switching
pattern. The duration of the on-state time will then determine the controlled rectifier voltage
to the DC link.

The drive has a defined firing and applies the above firing pattern to three phases.
The drive rectifier has the following firing order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 with the bridge
hardware configuration as outlined in Figure 5. As shown, the 4160 V rectifier uses
two (2) - 6500 volt power devices in series to achieve the optimum electrical peak
inverse blocking margin of 13000 volts for each leg.

The input capacitors connected at the input with the rectifier are designed to reduce the
higher frequency current harmonics. The inductance/capacitor resonant frequency is placed
below 300 Hz where no characteristic harmonics exist. This prevents the excitation of
system harmonic frequencies. The capacitor is selected to provide high input power factor.
In most cases, a line reactor can be used to provide the required design impedance, giving
additional current limiting features to a line-side short circuit fault. When operating from
a power source that does not require voltage matching to the drive rating, a simple line
reactor configuration can be adopted. (See Figure 6)

The rectifier input current and voltage waveforms are shown in Figure 7. A current Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD) of approximately 5.0 % is achieved. The voltage distortion is
based on the customers maximum short circuit rating (ISC) and maximum demand load
current (IL). With a ratio of 20, the voltage distortion will be less than 3%.
