2. Safety

What this chapter contains

This chapter contains the safety instructions which you must follow when installing, operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or damage may occur to the drive, motor or driven equipment. Read the safety instructions before you work on the unit.

Use of warnings

Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or death and/or damage to the equipment and advice on how to avoid the danger. The following warning symbols are used in this manual:

Safety in installation and maintenance

These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive, motor cable or motor.

Electricity safety

 Never work on the drive, motor cable or motor when input power is applied. After disconnecting the input power, always

wait for 10 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the drive, motor or motor cable.

Always ensure by measuring with a multimeter (impedance at least 1 Mohm) that:

1. There is no voltage between the drive input phases L1, L2 and L3 and the ground.

2. There is no voltage between terminals + and BR and the ground.

 Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the external control circuits. Externally supplied

control circuits may carry dangerous voltage even when the input power of the drive is switched off.

 Do not make any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive.

 Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that all grounding

instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury

Note:

Even when the motor is stopped, dangerous voltage is present at the power circuit terminals L1, L2, L3 and U, V, W and + and BR.

General safety

WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment.

 The drive is not field repairable. Never attempt to repair a malfunctioning drive; contact your local ABB representative or

Authorized Service Centre for replacement.

 Make sure that dust from drilling does not enter the drive during the installation. Electrically conductive dust inside the drive may

cause damage or lead to malfunction.

 Ensure sufficient cooling.

Safety in start-up and operation

These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation, start up or operate the drive.

WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment.

 Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure that the motor and all driven equipment are suitable for

operation throughout the speed range provided by the drive. The drive can be adjusted to operate the motor at speeds above and below the speed provided by connecting the motor directly to the power line.

 Do not activate automatic fault reset functions if dangerous situations can occur. When activated, these functions reset the

drive and resume operation after a fault.

 Do not control the motor with an AC contactor or disconnecting device (disconnecting means); use instead the control panel

start and stop keys and or external commands (I/O). The maximum allowed number of charging cycles of the DC capacitors (that is, power-ups by applying power) is two per minute.

Note:

 When parameter 1103 PRIMARY COMMAND SOURCE MODE is not set to 1 or 2, the stop key on the control panel will not

stop the drive. To stop the drive open terminal 2 of the drive control terminals.

Danger : Indicates a risk of electric shock, which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the equipment and possible injury or death.

Danger : Indicates a potentially hazardous situation other than electrical, which if not avoided, could result in damage to property.

This ACS250 variable speed drive is intended for professional installation and commissioning into complete equipment or systems as part of a fixed installation. If installed incorrectly it may present a safety hazard. The ACS250 uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control mechanical plant that may cause injury. Close attention is required to system design and electrical installation to avoid hazards in either normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain this product.

System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out only by personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must carefully read this safety information and the instructions in this Guide and follow all information regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the ACS250, including the specified environmental limitations.

Do not perform any flash test or voltage withstand test on the ACS250. Any electrical measurements required should be carried out with the ACS250 disconnected.

Electric shock hazard! Disconnect and ISOLATE the ACS250 before attempting any work on it. High voltages are present at the terminals and within the drive for up to 10 minutes after disconnection of the electrical supply. Always ensure by using a suitable multimeter that no voltage is present on any drive power terminals prior to commencing any work.

Where supply to the drive is through a plug and socket connector, do not disconnect until 10 minutes have elapsed after turning off the supply.

Ensure correct grounding connections and cable selection as per defined by local legislation or codes. The drive may have a leakage current of greater than 3.5mA; furthermore the earth cable must be sufficient to carry the maximum supply fault current which normally will be limited by the fuses. Suitably rated fuses should be fitted in the mains supply to the drive, according to any local legislation or codes.

Do not carry out any work on the drive control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the external control circuits.

The “Safe Torque Off” Function does not prevent high voltages from being present at the drives power terminals.

Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Safety of Machinery. In particular, the machine manufacturer is responsible for providing a main switch and ensuring the electrical equipment complies with EN60204-1.

The level of integrity offered by the ACS250 control input functions – for example stop/start, forward/reverse and maximum speed, is not sufficient for use in safety-critical applications without independent channels of protection. All applications where malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk assessment and further protection provided where needed.

The driven motor can start at power up if the enable input signal is present.

The STOP function does not remove potentially lethal high voltages. ISOLATE the drive and wait 10 minutes before starting any work on it. Never carry out any work on the Drive, Motor or Motor cable when the input power is still applied.

The ACS250 can be programmed to operate the driven motor at speeds above or below the speed achieved when connecting the motor directly to the mains supply. Obtain confirmation from the manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about suitability for operation over the intended speed range prior to machine start up.

Do not activate the automatic fault reset function on any systems whereby this may cause a potentially dangerous situation.

IP66 drives provide their own pollution degree 2 environments. IP20 drives must be installed in a pollution degree 2 environment, mounted in a cabinet with IP54 or better.

ACS250s are intended for indoor use only.

When mounting the drive, ensure that sufficient cooling is provided. Do not carry out drilling operations with the drive in place, dust and metal shavings from drilling may lead to damage.

The entry of conductive or flammable foreign bodies should be prevented. Flammable material should not be placed close to the drive

Relative humidity must be less than 95% (non-condensing).

Ensure that the supply voltage, frequency and number of phases correspond to the rating of the ACS250 as delivered.

Never connect the mains power supply to the Output terminals U, V, W.

Do not install any type of automatic switchgear between the drive and the motor

Wherever control cabling is close to power cabling, maintain a minimum separation of 4in. (100 mm) and arrange crossings at 90 degrees Ensure that all terminals are tightened to the appropriate torque setting

Do not attempt to carry out any repair of the ACS250. In the case of suspected fault or malfunction, contact your local ABB Drives representative for further assistance.

The drive should be included within the scheduled maintenance program so that the installation maintains a suitable operating environment, this should include:

 Ambient temperature is at or below that set out in the “Environment” section on page 60.  Heat sink fans freely rotating and dust free.  The Enclosure in which the drive is installed should be free from dust and condensation; furthermore ventilation fans and air filters

should be checked for correct air flow.

Checks should also be made on all electrical connections, ensuring screw terminals are correctly torqued; and that power cables have no signs of heat damage.

5. Electrical Installation

This manual is intended as a guide for proper installation. ABB Drives Ltd cannot assume responsibility for the compliance or the non-compliance to any code, national, local or otherwise, for the proper installation of this drive or associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if codes are ignored during installation.

This ACS250 contains high voltage capacitors that take time to discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive, ensure isolation of the main supply from line inputs. Wait ten (10) minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

Whenever possible use Shielded motor cablesmaintaining shield as far as possible along the cable.

5.1. Grounding the Drive

5.1.1. Recommended installation for EMC compliance.

5.1.2. Grounding Guidelines

The ground terminal of each ACS250 should be individually connected DIRECTLY to the site ground bus bar (through the filter if installed). The ACS250 ground connections should not loop from one drive to another, or to, or from any other equipment. Ground loop impedance must confirm to local industrial safety regulations. To meet UL regulations, UL approved ring crimp terminals should be used for all ground wiring connections. The drive Safety Ground must be connected to system ground. Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground connections should be checked periodically.

5.1.3. Protective Earth Conductor

The Cross sectional area of the PE Conductor must be at least equal to that of the incoming supply conductor.

5.1.4. Safety Ground

This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod, or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes.

5.1.5. Motor Ground

The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the drive.

5.1.6. Ground Fault Monitoring

As with all inverters, a leakage current to earth can exist. The ACS250 is designed to produce the minimum possible leakage current while complying with worldwide standards. The level of current is affected by motor cable length and type, the effective switching frequency, the earth connections used and the type of RFI filter installed. If a GFCI (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) is to be used, the following conditions apply:

 The device must be suitable for protecting equipment with a DC component in the leakage current  Individual GFCI’s should be used for each ACS250

5.1.7. Shield Termination (Cable Screen)

The safety ground terminal provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor cable shield connected to this terminal (drive end) should also be connected to the motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to connect the shield to the safety ground terminal.

5.2. Wiring Precautions

Connect the ACS250 according to section 5.9, ensuring that motor terminal box connections are correct. There are two connections in general: Star and Delta. It is essential to ensure that the motor is connected in accordance with the voltage at which it will be operated. For more information, refer to section 5.6 Motor Terminal Box Connections.

Type MC continuous corrugated aluminium armour cable with symmetrical grounds or shielded power cable is recommended for the motor cables if metallic conduit is not used.

The power cables must be rated for 75 °C (167 °F).

5.3. Incoming Power Connection

 Power should be connected to L1, L2, and L3. Phase sequence is not important.  For compliance with CE and C Tick EMC requirements, a symmetrical shielded cable is recommended.  For compliance with CSA requirements, transient surge suppression shall be installed on the line side of this equipment and shall be

rated 600V (phase to ground), 600V (phase to phase), suitable for overvoltage category III, and shall provide protection for a rated impulse withstand voltage peak of 4 kV or equivalent.

 A fixed installation is required according to IEC61800-5-1 with a suitable disconnecting device installed between the ACS250 and the AC

Power Source. The disconnecting device must conform to the local safety code / regulations (e.g. within Europe, EN60204-1, Safety of machinery).

 The cables should be dimensioned according to any local codes or regulations. Guideline dimensions are given in section 11.2.  Suitable fuses to provide wiring protection of the input power cable should be installed in the incoming supply line, according to the

data in section 11.2. The fuses must comply with any local codes or regulations in place. In general, type gG (IEC 60269) or UL type T fuses are suitable; however in some cases type aR fuses may be required. The operating time of the fuses must be below 0.5 seconds.

 When the power supply is removed from the drive, a minimum of 30 seconds should be allowed before re-applying the power. A

minimum of 5 minutes should be allowed before removing the terminal covers or connection.

 The maximum permissible short circuit current at the ACS250 Power terminals as defined in IEC60439-1 is 100kA.  An optional Input Choke is recommended to be installed in the supply line for drives where any of the following conditions occur:-

o The incoming supply impedance is low or the fault level / short circuit current is high.

o If the transformer kVA rating is more than 10x the kVA rating of the drive or ensure that the per drive source

impedance is less than 0.5%

o The supply is prone to dips or brown outs o An imbalance exists on the supply (3 phase drives) o The power supply to the drive is via a busbar and brush gear system (typically overhead Cranes).

 In all other installations, an input choke is recommended to ensure protection of the drive against power supply faults.
