PART 5 SPECIFIC TASKS 5.0 REQUIREMENTS:� 5.1 Basic Services: In addition to procurement and replacement of the failed drive explained in Para. 1, and 4 the contractor shall provide all services required for the proper operation and actual duty performance once the new system is released to the Government. Services shall include testing of the proper power control and transfer between the drive and the motor such as monitoring the voltage, amperage, frequency, resistance, temperature etc. The contractor shall provide reports to include but not limited to as received condition, work start condition, after startup and commissioning activities. The contractor shall provide service technician support to confirm the sound operation of TC-15 power input. This work shall be done to current industrial standards.� Pre-commissioning Activities:� Make sure that the voltage rating of the motor matches the drive specification. Make sure that the variable speed drive is properly sized to run the motor. Make sure that the variable speed drive is properly anchored. Check whether the panel and VFD are properly grounded. Make sure that the cables connecting the�drive�inputs and the cables to the motor are properly sized. Ensure the proper length of electrical cables is measured for INPUT Line side termination along with the cables going to the motor. Megger the cables connecting the motor and the drive after disconnecting it from either side and ensure the cable is damage free. Ensure the input power cable to the drive and cable to the motor are properly installed and terminated. Check the cable termination and connection at the motor terminal box. Check for proper Rotation of the motor prior to functional testing. Verify whether the control wiring is done properly, as per the wiring diagram. Check the field instrument connections. Disconnect and reconnect cable terminations as needed to perform wiring verification, testing and inspections. Check whether the cable shields are properly grounded. Inspect current carrying components, contact surfaces, fuse clips and clamps, insulating supports and barriers for damage, deterioration, overheating, missing or damaged parts. Visible inspect cable bends to ensure that all bends meet or exceed industrial standards for minimum allowable bending radius. In case if the drive is controlled from PLC/PAC or DCS, check the communication cables connections. Check the motor for rotor jam. Check whether proper cooling arrangements are provided for�drive. Check whether suitable circuit breaker/ Semiconductor fuse protection is provided for the VFD. Check whether the input and output line chokes/ harmonic filter are provided (only if shown in the wiring diagram). Check whether Dynamic braking resistance, brake chopper and DC link choke are provided (only if shown in the wiring diagram). Note down the rated voltage, full load current, and rated RPM of the motor. Check whether the overload protection circuits are set up between the drive output and the motor terminals. Check the proper working of�water (mechanical)�brakes. Clean and vacuum the enclosure. Commissioning Activities: Once the precommissioning ehecks are completed and all components and equipment are found to be satisfactory, the VFD is ready to be commissioned as follows; a. Check the input supply voltage. Before starting up the VFD check the supply voltage at the input side of circuit breaker terminals. If the supply voltage is within the rated input supply voltage range of the VFD, switch on the circuit breaker. Check the DC bus voltage at the DC bus terminals of the drive. �Also ensure the proper functioning of the cooling fan. . Set all other control and communication parameters. b. Inspect all mechanical and electrical interlocks for sound condition and test proper operation. c. Set all control and communication prameters. d. Set minimum output frequency. Minimum output frequency is the lower limit for frequency (i.e.) the output frequency of the VFD cannot be varied below the highest output frequency. e. Set maximum output frequency.Maximum output frequency is the higher limit for frequency (i.e.) the output frequency of the VSD cannot be varied above the maximum output frequency. f. Set maximum output current. Maximum output current is the upper limit for output current. During normal operation, if the output current of VFD exceeds the set limit, the drive will trip on over-current fault. The current may exceeds the upper limit during start. g. Set acceleration time. Acceleration time is the time taken to ramp up the motor to its maximum speed. It depends on load inertia and varies from one application to other. h. Set deceleration time. Deceleration time is the time taken to ramp down the motor from its maximum speed to zero.It depends on load inertia and varies from one application to other. i. Other parameters such as digital input and digital output terminals, analogue input and analogue output terminals, field communication, pulse inputs and pulse encoder inputs parameters has to be configured as per the application requirement. Also, some VFD requires protection parameters to be configured. j. Advanced features such as brake control, torque boost functions, PID control; droop control etc. needs to be configured for this application. k. Auto-tune the variable speed drives measuring the impedance of motor winding and determining the VI curve of the motor at different speeds and torques. It is required to input the noted motor rated voltage, rated current, rated frequency and rated speed before starting auto-tuning. Auto tuning can be stationary or rotational. In case of rotational auto-tuning, it is advised to decouple the motor from the load/ gear-box. Auto-tuning of a variable speed drive usually takes 60-120 seconds to complete. � l. Check the direction of rotation of motor, After auto-tuning the motor, the direction of rotation needs to be checked. The speed reference to the drive is set to 3Hz or 100RPM and the variable speed drive is started manually. Functional testing: Once the drive is properly programmed and autotuned, it has to be run tested for proper functioning at various output speeds and torques or as per the application requirements. a. Check whether the motor rotates in proper direction. b. Motor should rotate smoothly without hunting, abnormal noise or oscillation. c. Check the operation of the variable speed drive as per the application requirement. d. Verify the input speed reference and the VFD output. e. Verify whether the motor accelerates and decelerates smoothly. f. Verify and note down the current at no load and full load at various speed references. g. Verify the analogue feedback from the VFD (if required.) h. After the successful functional test of the variable speed drive, make a clear report of the works done. Also maintain a record of set parameters and current noted while testing on no load and full load at various speeds and torques described in the transmission test parameters for this test stand, DMWR 55-1615-156. (See Exhibit 4. Note: Readings throughout the load-bank test shall consist of the following: 1) Time 2) Frequency (Hz) 3) Voltage (AC-L1, L2, L3) 4) Power Factor (1.0) � 5) Amperage (AC-L1, L2, L3) 6) kW 7) Load Percentage �� 5.5 Inspection and Acceptance: 5.5.1 Inspection and acceptance shall be performed at CCAD by the Contracting Officer�s Representative (COR). 5.5.2 Final acceptance of the services, equipment, materials, documentation and procedures called for in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) will be performed by the Contracting Officer based upon the inspection and recommendation of the COR. 5.5.3 Failure to comply with the requirements throughout section 5 (Requirements) of this PWS will be grounds for rejection.
