This chapter contains safety instructions you must follow when installing, operating
and servicing the drive. If igno red, physic al injury or d eat h may follow, or damage
may occur to the drive, the motor or driven equipment. Read the safety instructions
before yo u w ork on the unit .
Usage of warnings and notes
There are t w o t y pes of s af et y ins t r uctions throughout th is m anual: wa rnings and
notes. Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or
death and/ or damage to the equip m ent, and adv is e on how to av oid the dang er.
Notes draw attention to a particular condition or fact, or give information on a
subject. The warning symbols are used as follows:
5
Dangerous voltage warning warns of high voltages which can cause
physical injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Genera l warning warns about condit ions, other than thos e c aused by
electricity, which can result in physical injury and/or damage to the
equipment.
Electrostatic discharge warning warns of electrostatic disch arge which
can damage the equipment.
Safety instructions

Installation and maintenance work
These warnings ar e int ended for all who work on the drive, m ot or c able or motor.
Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death, or damage the
equipment.
WARNING!
Only qualif ied electric ians are allowed to install and maintain the drive.
•
The main switch o n the cabi net doo r does not r emove the volta ge from th e input
•
busbars of the drive. Before working on the drive, isolate the whole drive from
the s u pply.
Never work on the drive, the motor cable or the motor when main power is
•
applied. After switching off the input power, always wait for 5 min to let the
intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the drive,
the motor or the motor cable. Measure the voltage between terminals UDC+
and UDC- (L+ and L–) with a multimeter (impedance at least 1 Mohm) to
ensure tha t th e drive is discharged be f ore beginning work.
Apply temporary gro unding bef ore working on the unit .
•
Do not work on t he control c ables whe n po wer is appli ed to the drive or t o t he
•
external control circuits. Externally supplied control circuits may cause
dangero us vo lta ges to exi st insi de t he drive ev en when the m ain power of the
drive is switched off.
Do not make any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive or drive
•
modules.
When reco nnecting th e m otor cable, always ch ec k th at th e phase ord er is
•
correct.
When joining shipping splits (if any), check the cable connections at the joints
•
before swit c hing on the supply vol tag e.
Live parts on the ins ide of the doors are prot ec t ed agains t di rect contact .
•
Special attention sh all be paid whe n handling m eta llic s hrouds.
Note:
The motor cable terminals on the drive are at a dangerously high voltage when
•
the input power is on, regardless of whether the motor is running or not.
The brake control terminals (UDC+, UDC-, R+ and R- terminals) carry a
•
dangero us D C vo ltag e (over 500 V ).
Safety instructions
Depending on the ext ernal wiring, danger ous voltages (115 V, 220 V or 230 V)
•
may be present on the relay outputs of the drive system.
The Prevention of Unexpected Start function does not remove the voltage from
•
the main an d auxiliary ci rc uits.
WARNING!
During the installation procedure, supply, filter or inverter modules may have to
•
be temp orarily extra c te d from the c abinet. The mo dules hav e a high centre of
gravity. In order to minimise the danger of to ppling over, keep th e s upport legs
(if provid ed) of the mo dules extended whe never manoeuvring the modules
outside the cabinet. An overturning module can cause physical injury.
Do not tilt!
7
Electrically conductive dust inside the unit may cause damage or lead to
•
malfun c tio n. M ak e sure that dus t fr om drilling do es not enter the driv e when
installing.
Fastening the cabinet by riveting or welding is not recommended. However, if
•
welding is necessary, ensure the return wire is properly connected in order not
to damage the electronic equipment in the cabinet. Also ensure that welding
fumes are not inhal ed.
Ensure sufficient cooling of the unit.
•
Cooling fans may continue to rotate for a while after the disconnection of the
•
electrical supply.
Some parts inside the drive cabinet, such as heatsinks of power
•
semiconductors, remain hot for a while after the disconnection of the electrical
supply.
WARNING!
The print ed circuit bo ards contain c omponen ts s ens it iv e to electrostatic
•
discharge. Wear a grounding wrist band when handling the boards. Do not
touch the boards unnecessarily.

Grounding
These in structions a re intended for all who are respon si ble for the grounding o f the
drive. Incorrect grounding can cause physical injury, death or equipment malfunction
and increase electromagnetic interference.
WARNING!
Groun d t he drive, the motor and adjoining equipmen t to ens ure personnel
•
safety in all circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and pickup.
Make sure that gr ounding co nductors ar e adequately sized as required by
•
safety regulations.
In a multiple-drive installati on, con nect each drive separ at ely to protect ive
•
earth (PE).
Do not in stall a drive equ ipped with an EM C (line) filter to an un grounded
•
power system or a high resistance-grounded (over 30 o hms) power system.
Note:
Power c able shield s a re s uitable for equipment gro unding conductors only
•
when adequatel y sized to meet safety regu lat ions.
As the no rm al leakage cu rrent of the drive is higher than 3.5 m A AC or 10 mA
•
DC (stated by EN 50178, 5.2.11.1), a fixed protective earth connection is
required.
Fibre optic cables
WARNING!
Handle the fibre optic cables with care. When unplugging optic cables, always
•
grab the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends of the fibres with
bare hands as the fibre is extremely sensitive to dirt. The minimum allowed
bend radius is 25 mm (1 in.).
Safety instructions
Operation
These warnings are int ended for al l w ho plan the operation of the drive or op erate
the drive. Ignorin g the instructions can cause physical i n jur y or d eath or damage the
equipment.
WARNING!
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 . Th e drive can be adjusted t o operate the m otor at
speeds above and be low t he speed provided b y co nnecting the motor directly
to the power line.
Do not activate automatic fault reset functions of the Standard Application
•
Program if dangerous situations can occur. When activated, these functions
will reset th e drive and re s um e operatio n af te r a f ault.
Do not control the motor with the disconnecting device (means); instead, use
•
the control panel keys and , or commands via the I/O board of the drive.
The maxim um allowed number of charging cycles of the DC capac it ors (i.e.
power-ups by applying power) is five in ten min ut es .

the drive using the control panel, press the LOC/REM key and then the stop
key .

Permanent magnet motor drives
These are additional warnings concerning permanent magnet motor drives.
WARNING! Do not work on the drive when the permanent magnet motor is rotating.
Also when the supply power is switched off, a rotating permanent magnet motor
feeds power to the intermediate circuit of the drive and also the supply connections
become liv e (even when the invert er is s to pped!).
Installation and maintenance work
•Disconnect the motor from the drive with a safety switch
and addi ti onally, if po s si ble,
•lock the motor shaft and ground the motor connection terminals temporarily by
connecting them together as well as to the PE.
Operation
Do not run the motor above the rated speed. Motor overspeed leads to overvoltage
which may result in explosion of the capacitors in the intermediate circuit of the drive.
Application program
Controlling a permanent magnet motor is only allowed using the ACS800 Permanent
Magnet Sy nc hronous Mo t or D riv e Application Prog ram, or usin g ot her application
programs in scalar control mode only.
