SIEMENS ICROMASTER 420 frequency converter

Product positioning and core technology

Overview

The operating manual for the Siemens MICROMASTER 420 frequency converter (version B1, order number 6SE6400-5AA00-0BP0) covers its core information in detail: as a frequency converter used to control the speed of three-phase AC motors, the power range ranges from 120W single-phase input to 11kW three-phase input, using IGBT technology and multiple V/f control modes; The content includes equipment overview, installation (including mechanical/electrical installation requirements such as capacitor restructuring and grounding specifications), debugging (supporting SDP/BOP/AOP panels, including quick debugging process), parameter system (level 4 user access, key parameters such as P0010 quick debugging and P0970 factory reset), troubleshooting (fault codes and LED indicators), technical specifications (such as input voltage of 200-480V ± 10%, output frequency of 0-650Hz), and EMC compatibility requirements. It also emphasizes that only qualified personnel are allowed to operate, and clarifies various safety warnings (such as waiting for 5 minutes for discharge after power failure).

Function: Control the speed of three-phase AC motors, with a power range covering 120W (single-phase input) to 11kW (three-phase input).

Technology: Adopting IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) technology, supporting PWM modulation with optional pulse frequency (to achieve low-noise motor operation), and the core control is based on V/f mode.

Installation specifications (mechanical+electrical)

1. Preparation before installation

Requirements for capacitor restructuring (after long-term storage):

Storage duration operation requirements

No operation required for<1 year

Power on for 1 hour after 1-2 years before resuming use

Reorganize according to the voltage time curve for ≥ 2 years (e.g. 2 hours for 100% voltage)

Environmental conditions:

Temperature: Operating -10~50 ℃, Storage -40~70 ℃;

Humidity: ≤ 95% (no condensation);

Altitude: ≤ 1000m without capacity reduction, over 1000m requires capacity reduction (e.g. output current drops to 80% at 2000m);

Protection: Avoid vibration (in accordance with DIN IEC 68-2-6, acceleration ≤ 9.8m/s ²), electromagnetic radiation, dust/corrosive gases, and water hazards.

2. Mechanical installation

Installation method: Only vertical installation is allowed, A frame (low power) can adapt to 35mm standard guide rail (EN 50022), B/C frame requires bolt fixation.

Spacing and dimensions:

Frame dimensions Overall dimensions (width x height x depth) mm Tightening method Tightening torque Installation gap

A 73 × 173 × 149 2 M4 bolts/nuts+washers 2.5Nm (with washers), 100mm up and down, with no gap on both sides

B 149 × 202 × 172 4 M4 bolts/nuts+washers 2.5Nm (with washers), 100mm up and down, with no gap on both sides

C 185 × 245 × 195 4 M5 bolts/nuts+washers 2.5Nm (with washers), 100mm up and down, with no gap on both sides

3. Electrical installation (core safety requirements)

Grounding: It must be grounded according to the IEC 536 Class 1 standard, and the PE wire section should not be smaller than the power wire to avoid the risk of electric shock; The reference voltage for motor grounding should be consistent with the ground voltage.

Power and motor wiring:

Input terminals: single-phase (L/L1, N/L2), three-phase (L1, L2, L3); Motor terminals (U, V, W), DC terminals (DC+, DC -);

Power outage requirement: Wait for 5 minutes after power outage before opening the cover (discharge of DC bus capacitor). The terminal may still carry dangerous voltage after power outage.

Special scenario configuration:

Scene configuration requirements

IT power supply (ungrounded): Remove the internal "Y" capacitor (see Appendix D/E) and install the output reactor; When the output is grounded, the frequency converter trips (F0001)

The use of RCD requires the selection of B-type RCD, with a trip limit of 300mA, neutral grounding, and only one frequency converter for a single RCD. The motor cable should be ≤ 50m (shielded)/100m (unshielded)

Long cable motor cable ≤ 50m (shielded)/100m (unshielded), special configuration required for over distance

EMI protection: Power cables (power+motor) and control cables are wired separately (in different cable trays/conduits), motor cables are shielded/armored and grounded at both ends, and contactor coils require R-C suppressors (AC) or freewheeling diodes (DC).

Debugging process and operation

1. Operation panel selection and configuration

SDP (Status Display Panel): default configuration, 2 LEDs (green/yellow) display operating status (such as "green+yellow constant light=ready" and "red light flashing for 0.3s=overcurrent"), compatible with motor rated parameters (power, voltage, current, frequency), default control: analog potentiometer frequency modulation rate (0-10V corresponds to 0-50/60Hz), ramp time 10s.

BOP (Basic Operation Panel): Optional accessory, 5-digit 7-segment display, requires parameter activation:

Enable control: set P0700=1 (instruction source is BOP), P1000=1 (frequency given as BOP);
