Abb Old Ups

Hi Guys
I have the following 14 year old UPS from ABB:
Type: PL-20KVA
Nr: TT-13015
I think it is working but I have no manuals or drawings....actually nothing!
Has anybody got a copy of anything of this old UPS or know where to get it; what department of ABB for example?
Thanks for your help.

6ra70

Hi guys,
I have a 6RA70 DC Drive. I have two digital inputs from a plc, both normally open and separate.
I have a CUD2 card on the drive to handle these two additional inputs as the main card inputs are full.
The inputs are reverse direction. Basically a n/o contact means it runs forward and a n/c contact means it will run in reverse
The other input is a fast-stop. n/o meaning usual operation, and on closing the contact to n/c a fast-stop is initiated.
Can you, or one of the guys on the forum please explain how I can program the drive to do this?
Regards

Compressor On Vfd

Hi Marke,
I have a compressor system made in USA. The cooling fan motor is DOL and is tripping the overload. It is rated at 60Hz but running at 50Hz. I know that cooling will be affected, but the current will increase also?...by what percentage?
The compressor is also a 60Hz motor...what will the current increase by in terms of percentage?
The drive is 50/60Hz, 380-480Vac....no problem.....the site was measured at 500Vac at the input.
The drive couldn't start, it is 75kW and very, very marginally rated to the compressor motor at 100HP.
After 5 minutes of trying to get the compressor running, there was a loud sound from the VFD; I suspect the IGBT's.
To make matters worse, this particular VFD has a program for inputting the rating of the compressor motor; and what they inputted was nonsense.
There was no autotuning carried out as they are in speed control with no feeback devices such as Tacho etc...another problem
Another problem is that they told the drive the motor weight was 550Kg when it was 550lb....about half in kg...
Now, if you tell the drive nonsense (or nothing for autotuning) you will get out nonsense!
They also selected a brand of motor in the drive setup that was clearly incorrect; hence I think the motor characteristics (resistance, inductance etc..) that was automatically load when it selected the wrong motor made thngs worse when the autotuning was not carried out.
Now I know you can run 60Hz motors at 50Hz and they will get hotter with higher current and less internal cooling and the lifetime will be affected.
Please comment on the above if possible with your thoughts (and Raef). I know it is a mess but your input would be valuable.

Hi Marke,
Martin again; forgot to mention the utility is 50Hz region, but compressor was made by a 60Hz region; not sure that was clear!

Softstart Tripping

Hi there,
I have a problem with a newly installed softstart tripping aboard a vessel. While the vessel generators have more than enough power at 660Vac, the output goes via another 660:440 transformer to the softstart input 3 phase connections. The vessel is moored. The vessel generators are an ungrounded system and I do see the Bender insulation monitor going to 135Kohm sometimes.
Anyway, they had this softstart tripping and called me in. I then ran it nine times in one day without a trip!!
Whats the problem. I cannot guess what was on the 440Vac bus the previous day.
When I monitored the start, I noticed the voltage dropped from 440Vac to 420Vac. The softstart is rated at a particular current at 440Vac...but as its dropping on the voltage is suspect although the generators may have enough power the transformer is not stiff enough.
The transformer is old and has no name plate. I could go back to the manufacturer and find the specs, but what do I look or ask for in particular of the transformer ratings?
The output of the softstart goes to a 440:3.3Kv transformer and that's output is run via a long line (several km) to the ROV. I started the softstart on it ran nine times. I cannot see a problem on the output load side or I would trip as this is the only final load. The voltage on the input is dropping from 440 at first to 420 during starting to running at 430...this will effect the system rated current I know by the same %, but on the increase!
Thanks for your help and I can supply some information but not everything!!
