General scope of services 2
A variable-speed drive can include the following components:
● Induction motor, synchronous motor or PEM motor with or without speed encoder
● SINAMICS drives
● Drive transformer
● Cooling unit for water-cooled drives
● Small PLCs with drive functionality.
The Nuremberg Vogelweiherstrasse factory offers test equipment adapted to these types of
systems.
Note
Contact your sales person if additional components must be taken into account for your
particular project.
Scope of services offered
Unless otherwise stated in the quotation, the scope of services includes all activities,
equipment, materials and expendables required to perform the specified tests. The deadline
and testing period stated, and the quoted cost, can be met only if all the test and inspection
procedures to be performed are clarified in detail in advance. Due to the high capacity utilization
of the associated equipment, it might not be possible to carry out individual inspections and
tests that are requested late if the planned test is already in progress.
If you have received specific requirements from your customer, please send these as soon as
possible – with the necessary key data – to the Nuremberg Vogelweiherstrasse factory.
Sequence of a customer acceptance
A customer acceptance test is generally executed in the sequence:
1. Installation and commissioning of the components before the customer arrives.
2. Kickoff with presentation of the test schedule and discussion of individual steps in the
acceptance test workflow.
3. Execution of the tests according to the test schedule
4. Discussion of the test results
5. Preparation of test documentation for the customer.
The test documentation is created before or after the customer leaves depending on the
scope of testing and the time schedule.

Reference Manual Rev.201902141432 GM150 wassergekühlt 9
Components provided by customer
Components provided by the customer must be available in plenty of time so that tests can be
carried out on time. The Nuremberg Vogelweiherstrasse factory has no access to components
that are not within the PD LD scope of supply. This also applies to components ordered from
other Siemens' Groups. The technical data for these components is required at the latest eight
weeks before the start of the acceptance test, e.g.:
● Dimensions
● Weights
● Energy Requirement
● Interfaces
Location of the customer acceptance
All customer acceptance tests in the test fields for drives are performed as part of the
manufacturing process.
Note
Limited number of persons in the test field
For safety reasons, the number of persons in the test field is limited. In addition to the regional
sales partner, only two persons from the customer are permitted in the test field at the same
time.
Note
Test without load motors or multipulse infeeds via transformers in the test field
Some tests are simulated or performed in test mode with limited rated data.
Note
Tests with the customer's own cooling units or excitation equipment
If the customer's own cooling units or excitation equipment are to be tested, a system test can
be ordered with option F97.

2.2 Visual inspection
The visual inspection is performed to ensure that the equipment complies with the order
specifications. The tests are carried out with the drive in a no-voltage condition.
The visual inspection together with the customer – or with the company accepting the
equipment – is carried out with the drive installed and labeled. Each test step is documented in
the acceptance report with the specific results of the step.
The visual inspection is part of the function test (F72, F73).

3.2.7 DC link pre-charging and undervoltage monitoring
Fundamentals
When switching on the drive, the DC link is first charged. Only then is the circuit breaker closed.
The DC link must be charged in a specified time to 85 % of the DC link voltage.
Test procedure
1. The auxiliary voltage is present.
2. The pre-charging test mode is activated.
The time measurement starts.
The DC link is charged.
3. When 85 % of the DC link voltage is reached, the charge time is measured.
The pre-charging transformer shuts down.
The signal to close the circuit breaker is active. The main supply is not switched in. The DC
link discharges itself.
4. When 75 % of the DC link voltage is reached, the drive shuts down due to undervoltage.
An appropriate message is displayed on the test station computer.
Result
The test is passed if the DC link was charged within the specified time – and when the
undervoltage switching threshold is reached, the drive shuts down.
3.2.8 Actual value sensing of the DC link voltage
Fundamentals
The actual value sensing of the DC link voltage UDC+ and UDC- is checked. The calibrated
measuring equipment is used as reference.
Test procedure
1. The DC link is charged up to the rated voltage.
2. The actual value sensing devices in the drive measure the voltage.
The values UDC+ and UDC- are measured and displayed at the test station computer in the
appropriate parameters.

3.2.9 Output current measurement
Fundamentals
The internal current measurement of the drive is checked for an inductive load. Three reactors
connected in a star connection are used as load. The calibrated measuring equipment is used
as reference.
● For SINAMICS GM150, the inverter is tested.
● For SINAMICS SM150, either the line-side or the motor-side drive is tested in inverter mode.
● For SINAMICS GH150, the Motor Module is tested in inverter mode.

specified frequency and communicated to the test station computer.
Result
The test is passed if the values displayed on the test station computer match the reference
values with a tolerance of ±5 %.
3.2.10 Overvoltage monitoring in the DC link
Fundamentals
Fluctuations in the power supply can result in short-term changes to the DC link voltage.
The overvoltage monitoring senses the actual value of the DC link voltage, and switches off the
drive at a defined rated voltage.
Test procedure
1. The auxiliary voltage is present.
2. The DC link is charged up to 100 %.
3. The drive is operated with a load current ILoad = 50 ±5 A.
4. By controlling the DC voltage supply, the DC link voltage is slowly increased.
A message is displayed on the test station computer when the overvoltage limit is reached.
The drive is switched off.
5. The voltage value at the time of the message is calculated on the test station computer.

Result
The test is passed if the value calculated is 123 % of the nominal voltage of the DC link.
3.2.11 Failure of a power semiconductor module
Fundamentals
The power section must shut down if a power semiconductor module fails. The failure is
simulated by withdrawing the fiber-optic cable connector from the gating module of a power
semiconductor module. This interrupts the control.

inverter is inhibited.
3.2.12 Safety shutdown
Fundamentals
The tests are performed in accordance with IEC 60146-1-1 and IEC 60204-11.
The safety shutdown of the power section shuts down the inverter if the button is pressed.
Test procedure
1. The auxiliary voltage is present.
2. The drive is operated with a load current ILoad = 50 ±5 A.
3. The button is pressed.

3.3 Cooling system test
The test is performed with a calibrated cooling unit of the test station.
3.3.1 Static pressure test
Fundamentals
Tests are performed according to IEC 61800-5-1 and DIN EN 805.
The drive cooling system is checked for leaks and pressure drop for one hour.
