• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors,
remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Keep the drive in its package or protect it otherwise from dust and burr from
drilling and grinding until you install it.
• Protect also the installed drive against dust and burr. Electrically conductive
debris inside the drive may cause damage or malfunction.
• Vacuum clean the area below the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive
cooling fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Do not cover the air inlet and outlet when the drive runs.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See sections Checking the installation
site on page 54 and Losses, cooling data and noise on page 283 for more
information.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that the drive covers are on.
Keep the covers on during the operation.
• Before you adjust the drive operation limits, make sure that the motor and all
driven equipment can operate throughout the set operation limits.
Safety instructions 17
• Before you activate the automatic fault reset or automatic restart functions of the
drive control program, make sure that no dangerous situations can occur. These
functions reset the drive automatically and continue operation after a fault or
supply break. If these functions are activated, the installation must be clearly
marked as defined in IEC/EN 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, “THIS
MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY”.
• If you have connected safety circuits to the drive (for example, emergency stop
and Safe torque off), validate them at the start up. For the validation of the Safe
torque off, see ACS580 standard control program firmware manual
(3AXD50000016097 [English]). For the validation of other safety circuits, see the
instructions provided with them.
Note:
• If you select an external source for start command and it is on, and the start
command is level-triggered, the drive will start immediately after fault reset. See
parameters 20.02 Ext1 start trigger type and 20.07 Ext2 start trigger type in
ACS580 standard control program firmware manual (3AXD50000016097
[English]).

•North America:
varistor circuit can be damaged.
• Use all ELV (extra low voltage) circuits connected to the drive only within a zone
of equipotential bonding, that is, within a zone where all simultaneously
accessible conductive parts are electrically connected to prevent hazardous
voltages appearing between them. You can accomplish this by a proper factory
grounding, that is, make sure that all simultaneously accessible conductive parts
are grounded to the protective earth (PE) bus of the building.
• Do not do insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive or drive modules.

Note:
• The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerous voltage when the input
power is on, regardless of whether the motor is running or not.
• The DC and brake resistor terminals (UDC+, UDC-, R+ and R-) are at a
dangerous voltage.
• External wiring can supply dangerous voltages to the terminals of relay outputs
(RO1, RO2 and RO3).
• The Safe torque off function does not remove the voltage from the main and
auxiliary circuits. The function is not effective against deliberate sabotage or
misuse.
WARNING! Use a grounding wrist band when you handle the printed circuit
boards. Do not touch the boards unnecessarily. The boards contain
components sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Grounding
These instructions are for all personnel who are responsible for the electrical
installation, including the grounding of the drive.
WAR NING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
equipment malfunction can occur, and electromagnetic interference can
increase.
• If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do grounding work.
• Always ground the drive, the motor and adjoining equipment to the protective
earth (PE) bus of the power supply. This is necessary for the personnel safety.
Proper grounding also reduces electromagnetic emission and interference.
• In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to the protective
earth (PE) bus of the power supply.
• Make sure that the conductivity of the protective earth (PE) conductors is
sufficient. See section Selecting the power cables on page 91. Obey the local
regulations.
• Connect the power cable shields to the protective earth (PE) terminals of the
drive.
• Make a 360° grounding of the power and control cable shields at the cable entries
to suppress electromagnetic disturbances.
Safety instructions 21
Note:
• You can use power cable shields as grounding conductors only when their
conductivity is sufficient.
• Standards IEC/EN 61800-5-1 (section 4.3.5.5.2.) and UL 68100-5-1 require that
as the normal touch current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC,
you must use a fixed protective earth (PE) connection. In addition,
•install a second protective earth conductor of the same cross-sectional area
as the original protective earthing conductor,

Additional instructions for permanent magnet motor drives
Safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
These are additional warnings concerning permanent magnet motor drives. The other
safety instructions in this chapter are also valid.
WAR NING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death and
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Do not work on a drive when a rotating permanent magnet motor is connected to
it. A rotating permanent magnet motor energizes the drive including its input
power terminals.
Before installation, start-up and maintenance work on the drive:
• Stop the motor.
• Disconnect the motor from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
• If you cannot disconnect the motor, make sure that the motor cannot rotate during
work. Make sure that no other system, like hydraulic crawling drives, can rotate
the motor directly or through any mechanical connection like felt, nip, rope, etc.
• Measure that the installation is de-energized.
•Use a multimeter with an impedance of at least 1 Mohm.
•Make sure that the voltage between the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V,
T3/W) and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
•Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (L1, L2,
L3) and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
•Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+, UDC-) and
the grounding (PE) terminal is close to 0 V.
• Install temporary grounding to the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V, T3/W).
Connect the output terminals together as well as to the PE.
Start-up and operation:
• Make sure that the motor cannot be run into overspeed, e.g. driven by the load.
Motor overspeed causes overvoltage that can damage or destroy the capacitors
in the intermediate circuit of the drive.
Safety instructions 23
General safety in operation
These instructions are for all personnel that operate the drive.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Do not power up the drive more than five times in ten minutes. Too frequent
power-ups can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors. If you need to
start or stop the drive, use the control panel start and stop keys or commands
through the I/O terminals of the drive.
• Give a stop command to the drive before you reset a fault. If you have an external
source for the start command and the start is on, the drive will start immediately
after the fault reset, unless you configure the drive for pulse start. See the
firmware manual.
• Before you activate automatic fault reset functions of the drive control program,
make sure that no dangerous situations can occur. These functions reset the
drive automatically and continue operation after a fault.
Note: When the control location is not set to Local, the stop key on the control panel
will not stop the drive.

• The operation conditions of the drive meet the specifications given in section
Ambient conditions on page 305.
• The wall is as close to vertical as possible, of non-flammable material and strong
enough to carry the weight of the drive, see section Dimensions, weights and free
space requirements on page 276.
• The floor/material below the installation is non-flammable.
• There is enough free space above and below the drive to enable cooling air flow,
service and maintenance, See the required free space tables for each of the
different mounting alignments on page 54 (or page 276).
Required tools
To install the drive mechanically, you need the following tools:
• drill with suitable bits
• screwdriver set (Torx, flat and/or Phillips, as appropriate)

Guidelines for planning the
electrical installation
Contents of this chapter
This chapter contains instructions for planning the electrical installation of the drive,
for example, for checking the compatibility of the motor and drive, selecting cables,
protections and cable routing.
Limitation of liability
The installation must always be designed and made according to applicable local
laws and regulations. The manufacturer does not assume any liability whatsoever for
any installation which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations. Furthermore,
if the recommendations given by the manufacturer are not followed, the drive may
experience problems that the warranty does not cover.
Selecting the supply disconnecting device
Install a hand-operated input disconnecting device between the AC power source
and the drive. The disconnecting device must be of a type that can be locked to the
open position for installation and maintenance work.
84 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation
European Union
To meet the European Union Directives, according to standard EN 60204-1, Safety of
Machinery, the disconnecting device must be one of the following types:
• switch-disconnector of utilization category AC-23B (EN 60947-3)
• disconnector that has an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes switching
devices to break the load circuit before the opening of the main contacts of the
disconnector (EN 60947-3)
• circuit breaker suitable for isolation in accordance with EN 60947-2.
North America
Installations must meet the requirements of UL (UL 508C) and/or CSA
(C22.2 No. 14) and be compliant with NFPA 70 (NEC)
Code (CE) along with state and local codes for your location and application.

and/or Canadian Electrical
Other regions
The disconnecting device must conform to the applicable local safety regulations.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 85
Checking the compatibility of the motor and drive
Use an asynchronous AC induction motor, permanent magnet motor or synchronous
reluctance motor (SynRM) with the drive. Several induction motors can be operated
at a time when using scalar mode. Operation of permanent magnet motors is limited
to one connection to the drive at a time.
Check that the motor and the drive are compatible according to the rating table in
section Electrical ratings on page 248. The table lists the typical motor power for each
drive type.
Ensure that the motor withstands the maximum peak voltage in the motor terminals.
See the Requirements table on page 86. For basics of protecting the motor insulation
and bearings in drive systems, refer to section Protecting the motor insulation and
bearings below.
Note:
• Consult the motor manufacturer before using a motor whose nominal voltage
differs from the AC line voltage connected to the drive input.
• The voltage peaks at the motor terminals are relative to the supply voltage of the
drive, not the drive output voltage.
• If the motor and drive are not of the same size, consider the following operation
limits of the drive control program:
•motor nominal voltage range 1/6 ... 2 · U
•motor nominal current range 1/6 ... 2 · IN (IEC), or 1/6 ... 2 · I

Protecting the motor insulation and bearings
In North America a du/dt filter is typically not used unless the application has very
long cable lengths or when they have problems occurring.
The drive employs modern IGBT inverter technology. Regardless of frequency, the
drive output comprises pulses of approximately the drive DC voltage with a very short
rise time. The pulse voltage can almost double at the motor terminals, depending on
the attenuation and reflection properties of the motor cable and the terminals. This
can cause additional stress on the motor and motor cable insulation.
Modern variable speed drives with their fast rising voltage pulses and high switching
frequencies can generate current pulses that flow through the motor bearings. This
can gradually erode the bearing races and rolling elements.
Optional du/dt filters protect motor insulation system and reduce bearing currents.
Optional common mode filters mainly reduce bearing currents. Insulated N-end (nondrive end) bearings protect the motor bearings.
86 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation
Requirements table
The following table shows how to select the motor insulation system and when an
optional drive du/dt and common mode filters and insulated N-end (non-drive end)
motor bearings are required. Ignoring the requirements or improper installation may
shorten motor life or damage the motor bearings and voids the warranty.

Additional requirements for the braking applications
When the motor brakes the machinery, the intermediate circuit DC voltage of the
drive increases, the effect being similar to increasing the motor supply voltage by up
to 20 percent. Consider this voltage increase when specifying the motor insulation
requirements if the motor will be braking a large part of its operation time.
Example: Motor insulation requirement for a 400 V AC line voltage application must
be selected as if the drive were supplied with 480 V.
88 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation
Additional data for calculating the rise time and the peak line-to-line voltage
If you need to calculate the actual peak voltage and voltage rise time considering the
actual cable length, proceed as follows:
• Peak line-to line voltage: Read the relative Û

Selecting the power cables
General guidelines, IEC and North America
Select the input power and motor cables according to local regulations:
• Current: Select a cable capable of carrying the drive nominal current. See
section Electrical ratings (page 248) for the rated currents.
• Temperature: For IEC, select a cable rated for at least 70 °C (90 °C for IP55 [UL
Type 12]) maximum permissible temperature of conductor in continuous use. For
North America, power cables must be rated for 90
derating.
• Voltage: 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC. 1000 V AC cable is
required above 500 V AC.
• Conductivity: The conductivity of the PE conductor must be sufficient, see the
table on page 92.
To comply with the EMC requirements of the CE mark, use one of the approved cable
types in section Preferred power cable types, IEC and North America on page 93.
Symmetrical shielded cable reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive
system as well as the stress on motor insulation, bearing currents and wear.
Metal conduit reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system.
The protective conductor must always have an adequate conductivity.
Unless local wiring regulations state otherwise, the cross-sectional area of the
protective conductor must agree with the conditions that require automatic
disconnection of the supply required in 411.3.2. of IEC 60364-4-41:2005 and be
capable of withstanding the prospective fault current during the disconnection time of
the protective device.
The cross-sectional area of the protective conductor can either be selected from the
table below or calculated according to 543.1 of IEC 60364-5-54.

ABB recommends the use of conduit for power wiring to the drive and between the
drive and the motor(s). Due to the variety of application needs, metallic and nonmetallic conduit can be used. ABB prefers the use of metallic conduit. Where
permitted, non-metallic conduit may be used.
The following tables show examples of various materials and methods for wiring the
drive in the intended application. See NEC 70 along with state and local codes for the
appropriate materials for your application.

Non-metallic conduit use underground is allowed; however, these installations inherently
have an increased chance for nuisance problems due to the potential for water/moisture in
the conduit. Water/moisture in the conduit increases the likelihood of VFD faults or warnings.
Proper installation is required to ensure there is no intrusion of water/moisture.

Conductor type, IEC and North America
The following table includes various conductor types that can be connected to the
drive. For optimal drive performance, VFD cable is preferred. When not available, see
the following standards in the footnotes below.
The selection of cable sizing/type is based on 70 (NEC) Table 310.15 (B) (16), formerly table
310.16, for copper wires is based on 75 °C (167 °F), and wire insulation at 30 °C (86 °F)
ambient temperature. Not more than three current-carrying conductors in raceway or cable
or earth (directly buried). For other ambient temperatures addition derating may be required.
See 310.15(B)(2)(a) for the ampacity correction factors where the ambient temperature is
other than 30°C (86°F).
See to 310.15(B)(3)(a) for more than three current-carrying conductors.
For other conditions, size the cables according to local safety regulations, appropriate input
voltage and the load current of the drive. See also page 297 for the accepted cable sizes of

Power cable shield, IEC and North America
If the cable shield is used as the sole PE conductor, make sure that the conductivity
agrees with the PE conductor requirements. See section General guidelines, IEC and
North America on page 91, or IEC 61800-5-1.
To effectively suppress radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions, the cable
shield conductivity must be at least 1/10 of the phase conductor conductivity. The
requirements are easily met with a copper or aluminum shield. The minimum
requirement of the motor cable shield of the drive is shown below. It consists of a
concentric layer of copper wires with an open helix of copper tape or copper wire. The
better and tighter the shield, the lower the emission level and bearing currents.
