6.3
Drive approval test
6.3.1
Half load test
Due to the short-circuit of the motor while the VVVF is inactive, the motor will create a speed depend-
ing braking torque. This braking torque will be produced already at a very low speed.
If the car with half load does not move when the brakes are opened, the short-circuit wiring should be
deactivated. After that the test should be repeated.
After testing the short-circuit wiring must be activated again.
Half load test (alternative):
If deactivating of the short-circuit wiring is not possible or not desired, the testing of 50 % balance can
be made as follows:
With half load the motor current has to be measured in up and down direction. Mostly this is possible
at the VVVF (please see operating instructions of your VVVF). The measured currents should not
divert by more than 10 %.
6.3.2
Testing the brake according EN 81-1
"
When testing the brakes, the short-circuit wiring has to be deactivated to only test the effect of the
brake.
"
It is recommended to perform the tests when the car position is about in the middle of the shaft.
1. Overload
The test shall be carried out whilst the car is descending at rated speed with 125 % of the rated load
and interrupting the supply to the motor and the brake.
2. Failure of one brake circuit:
The test shall be carried out whilst the car is descending at rated speed with rated load.
To simulate the failure of one brake circuit, the brake circuits have to be released separated from each
other, also if the safety circuit is open. The brake circuits can be released mechanically or electrically.
This state must not be permanently, it has to be done by a key button or equivalent. While using this
function the safety circuit should always be opened.
While performing this test the elevator has to be observed. If there should be no visible deceleration,
the open brake circuit has to be closed immediately! The elevator has to be put out of service and the
brake to be checked!
As an example take a look at simpli
fi
ed diagram. The diagram is to be understood analogously. Their
adaptation to other applications must be investigated. ZIEHL-ABEGG does not guarantee their
suitability in such circumstances.
If the circuitry is made corresponding simpli
fi
ed diagram:
Press one of the key buttons at nominal speed until the elevator stops. Repeat the test by pressing
the other key button to test the second brake circuit.
3. Testing the micro switches
The micro switches have to be single tested. According to their use as a normely open or normaly
closed contact one micro switch contact at a time has to be opened or close.
If there is a wrong or missing micro switch signal, a travel must not be started.
