Danfoss iC7 Series Air Cooled System Modules Installation Guide
Optimize installation footprint, speed and reduce costs more than you dreamed possible, with the revolutionary iC7 series air-cooled system modules.
High power density combined with industry-leading heat-pipe thermal management means you achieve a smaller footprint and reduce space requirements in your electrical room. The slim profile enables you to fit more modules within a fixed-width cabinet.
Shrink your system, with smaller enclosures or fewer enclosure sections, and filters which integrate beneath the module.
Integration and scalability are extremely easy, because each unit is designed and tested in thermal independence. This reduces your engineering, assembly, and testing time.
Thermal excellence saves your operating costs with the unique segregated IP54 cooling channel, and reduced heat load in your installation. With the iC7 series aircooled system modules, you enjoy industry benchmark cooling efficiency, even including the thermal load of optionally integrated filters and chokes. Configure your choice of commonmode and dU/dt filter options in the integration unit located beneath themodule.
With the integration unit, access is so easy: simply pull out the power unit, with no need to remove the power cable. Power terminals are located at the front for easy access.

Modular architecture: Setting the standard for modular control
A flexible, modular, control architecture means you can tailor the control functionality exactly to your needs. You can purchase exactly the control options you need, or replace other PLC components, I/O and external safety components.
This modularity gives you not only more flexibility, but more secure integration of drives in the control system and IT architecture. You achieve faster set-up, and smarter monitoring, data gathering and analytics thanks to support for multiple communication network types.
The purchase cost is lower since you only buy the necessary control options, saving excess unused functionality
The drive can reduce your costs further by substituting for a low-end PLC controller/system, thanks to its IEC 61131-based control architecture.
Program execution close to the process opens new possibilities in fast process control thanks to reduced delays. Built-in security protects your IPR and service business.

AFE modules
AFE module
The AFE unit is a bi-directional low harmonic supply unit for motor drive applications. Active front end is typically used as a supply to a common DC bus drive line-ups or high powersingle drives when low harmonics or regeneration of power back to the grid is needed/valued.
The main functionality of the AFE is to maintain stable DC-link voltage reference. The AFE transfers power between the grid and the DC bus both ways depending on the load of the DC bus.
Benefits of the AFE
- Regenerative energy is fed back to the grid, improving the payback time of the investment. Regeneration at full power is available at any time.
- The AFE can boost the DC-link voltage within the voltage window of the converter hardware. Its advantage is that the DC-voltage available for motor inverters is not limited even under non-ideal grid conditions
- Power quality is excellent since the grid current is sinusoidal with very low harmonics (<5% THDi) and power factor is unity (cos φ = 1). This means that there is no need to oversize incoming supply transformers, as for traditional diode rectifiers, which reduces investment costs and space.
Ratings
- 317-4900 A IL , +10% overload 1 min/5 min
- 380-500 V AC / 465-740 V DC (05)
- 45-66 Hz Grid frequency
- THDi <5%
- Fundamental power factor cos φ = 1, adjustable reactive current set point
Highlights
- Most compact AFE on the market
- Meets the most stringent harmonics requirements thanks to high DC and AC power quality
- Robust and reliable in varying ambient conditions
- IP54/Type 12 segregated main cooling channel supporting backchannel cooling solutions
- Designed for enclosure integration and quick serviceability
- Direct connection between LCL filter and AFE input terminals
- Slide-in philosophy for easy power unit and LCL filter installation and removal
DC-bus and grid control
- Fast primary control ensures stable DC voltage even under non-ideal grid conditions for accurate motor control.
- AFE is able to boost DC voltage to guarantee full motor voltage even when the supply voltage is below nominal.
- Low harmonic operation meets even the stringest power quality requirements for drive systems.
- Reactive reference can be used to compensate other low power factor equipment in the network.
- Unrivalled paralleling options with no need for drive-to-drive communication
- Power can be shared between parallel units automatically with DC-link voltage droop control.
