A Warning contains information which is essential for
avoiding a safety hazard.
WARNING
A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
CAUTION
NOTE
1.2Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive cancausesevere electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal.
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to
the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this Installation
Guide,and the accompanying User Guide.
The installation must comply with all relevant safety legislation in the
countryof use.
1.3System design
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into
complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly,the drive may
present a safety hazard.
The drive uses highvoltage and currents, carries a high levelof stored
electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause
injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system
designt o avoidhazards,either in normaloperation or in the event of
equipment malfunction. System design, installation, commissioning and
maintenance must be carried out by personnelwho have the necessary
training and experience. They mustread this safety information and this
Installation Guide carefully.
To ensure mechanicalsafety,additional safetydevicessuch as electromechanical interlocksmay be required. The drivemust not be used in a
safety critical application without additional high integrity protection
against hazards arising from a malfunction.
1.4Environmental limits
Instructionsin this User Guideregarding transport,storage, installation
and use of the drive must be complied with, including the specified
environmental limits. The drive must not be subjected to excessive
physical force.
A Note containsinformation which helps to ensurecorrect
operation of the product.
*
1.6Safety of personnel
The STOP function of the drive does not removedangerous voltages
from the output of the drive or from any external option unit.
The STOP and START controls or electrical inputs of the drive must
not be relied upon to ensure safety of personnel. If a safety hazard
could exist from unexpected starting of the drive, an interlock that
electrically isolates the drive from the AC supply must be installed
to prevent the motor being inadvertently started.
Carefulconsideration must be given to the functions of the drivewhich
might resultin a hazard,eitherthrough their intended functions or
through incorrect operation due to a fault (e.g. stop/start, forward/
reverse, maximum speed).
Under certain conditions, the drive can suddenly discontinue control of
the motor.If the load on the motor could cause the motor speed to be
increased (e.g. in hoists and cranes), a separate method of braking and
stopping the motor must be used (e.g. a mechanical brake).
Before connecting the AC supply to the drive, it is important that you
understandthe operatingcontrolsand their operation. If in doubt,do not
adjust the drive. Damage may occur, or lives be put at sisk. Carefully
follow the instructions in this Installation Guide.
Beforemaking adjustments to the drive, ensure all personnelin thearea
are warned. Make notes of all adjustmentsthat are made.
1.7Risk analysis
In any application where a malfunction of the drive could lead to
damage, loss or injury, a riskanalysis must be carriedout, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk. This would
normally be an appropriate form of independent safety back-up system
usingsimpleelectro-mechanical components.
1.8Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Servomotorsare designed to operate at elevated temperatures which
may reach 100
contact should be taken.
1.9Adjustment of parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
These parameters must not be adjusted without careful consideration of
theimpactthat wouldbemadeon the controlled system.Measuresmust
be taken to prevent unwanted changesfrom being made, e.g. due to
error or tampering.

2.4AC supply disturbances - use of line
reactors
When a driveis connected to an AC supplywhich is subject to severe
disturbances - for example, if any of the following conditions apply...
•Capacity exceeds 200kVA
•Faultcurrent exceeds 5kA
•Power-factor correction equipment is connected close to the drive
•Large DC drives having no or ineffective line reactors are connected
to the supply
•Direct-on-line started motor(s) are connected to the supply and,
whenany of these motors are started,a dip is producedin excessof
20% of the actual supplyvoltage
... excessive peak current may flow in the input power circuit of the drive.
This may cause nuisance tripping or, in extreme cases, failure of the
drive.
A line reactor should then be connected in each phase of the supply to
eachdrive. Line reactor(s)add the required impedanceto the ACsupply
in order to reduce current transients to a level that can be tolerated by
the drive.
Threeindividual reactors,or a singlethree-phase reactorshould be
used. Each drive must have its own reactor(s).
RFI filters (for EMC purposes) do not give adequate
protection against these conditions.
Current ratings
Continuous rms: Not lesst han the continuous input current rating of
the drive
Repetitive max rms:Not less than 4 x continuous input current rating of
the drive (to avoid magnetic saturation)
*
2.5Power cables
Wiring must be in accordance with local regulations and
codes of practice. The table below shows typical PVC
WARNING
The cable sizes recommendedin Table 2-5 are in accordancewith
EN60204-1; installation method:B2 - one loaded cable in conduitortrunking attached to a wall.
Table 2-5 Power cable sizes, metric
The cable sizes recommendedin Table 2-6 are in accordancewith
UL508C; installation method: one loaded three phase cable in conduit
Table 2-6 Power cable sizes, imperial
NOTE
This assumes the motor maximum current matches that of the
drive. Where a motor of reduced rating is used, the cable rating
may be chosen to match that of the motor. To ensure that the motor
and cable are protected againstover-load, the drive must be
programmed with the correct motor rated current.
Ground conductors
A ground conductor can be includedin the motor and brakingresistor
cables, or a separate wire external to thesecablescan be used.
Motor cable
Most cables have an insulating jacket between the cores and the armour
or shield; these cables have a low capacitance.When using a cableof
this type, observe the recommended maximum lengthsstatedin
Table 2-7 .
Table 2-7 Maximum cable lengths
* Cable lengths in excess of the specified values may be used only when
special techniquesare adopted; refer to the supplierof the drive.
Cable capacitance
High-capacitance cablestend not to have an insulating jacketbetween
the cores and the shield or armour. If a cable of this type is used, the
maximum cable length is half the figure quoted in Table 2-7 .
For identification, see Figure 2-1.

Parallel connection of DC buses
When a number of drives are used in a system, it is possible to connect
their DC buses in parallel in order to allow energy sharing, especially
when one or more motors are being braked. Operation in this manner is
not coveredby this Installation Guide; cable sizes and otherinformation
can be obtaine from the supplier of the drive.

2.10Method of mounting
The two mounting brackets fittedto the driveare intended for mounting
the drive on the back-plate of the enclosure. Exhaust heat from the drive
is emitted in front of the back-plate. (Mounting instructions are given
laterin this chapter.)
Alternativelythe drivecan be mounted through an aperture in the backplate to allow the exhaust heat t o be emitted behind the back-plate.I n
this case, the two mounting brackets fitted to the drive must be removed,
modified and re-fitted; the ground bracket supplied with the drive must
also be modified.For instructions, refer to the supplier of the drive.
Theambienttemperature shouldbe taken as the temperature of the
air immediately under the drive. This is especially important when
the drive is to be installed above heat-generating equipment.
The drive can supply the rated maximum continuous output current
(FLC) as follows...
ModelsM’Ax 403 and M’Ax 406: Up to an ambient temperature of
55°C (131°F)
ModelsM’Ax 409 and M’Ax 412: Up to an ambient temperature of
45°C (113°F); from 45°C to 55°C (131°F), the maximum permissible
continuous output currentis reducedto 8.5A and 10.5A respectively.
2.13When to use a braking resistor
When an AC motor is decelerated,or the drive is preventing the motor
from gaining speed due to mechanical influences, energy is returned to
the drive from the motor. When this energy is too great for the drive to
absorb, the DC-bus voltage is raised, which increases the possibility of
the drive trippingdue to excessive DC-bus voltage.
If the driveis to be used at an altitude in excess of 2000m (6600ft), deratingfor altitude must be appliedto the output current; see Altitude on
page 26.
Make a note of the following values for the model to be used; you will
need to know theselater:
•Maximum intended ambient temperature (T
max) (required for
AMB
calculating the enclosure size later in thischapter)
•Maximum continuous output current(if this needs to be a de-rated
value)
•Maximum heat dissipated into the enclosure
Current de-rating
If this precaution is not taken, the output current of the
drivecan exceedthe maximum permissible value. This
CAUTION
may result in loss of motor control due to excessive
heatsink temperature causing the drive to trip.
2.12Thermal protection
The power output stage (IGBT bridge) of thedrive is protectedas
follows:
•When the heatsink temperature reaches an alarm level the drive
continues operating;the lower line of thedisplayindicates hot as a
pre-warning
•Ifthe load is not reducedand the heatsinktemperaturecontinues to
rise the drive will trip; the lower line of the display indicates O.ht2
Depending on the braking requirements, an internal braking resistor
fitted in the drive, or an external braking resistor, can be used for
absorbingthe returned energy. Thebraking resistoris t hen switchedinto
circuitby an internaltransistor when theDC-busvoltagereaches 780V.
The required value for the braking resistor is determined by the
maximum required braking torque, while the required power rating is
determined by the amount of energy to be dissipated, the duty cycle and
repetition time, as well as the cooling available for the resistor. When the
valueand power rating havebeencalculated,a decisioncan be made to
use the internal resistoror an external resistor.
It is important that the brakingresistor is adequately
ratedo therwise the drive could trip due to excessive DCbus voltage; braking will then cease, allowing the motor
CAUTION
to coast uncontrolled.

The instantaneouspowerratingrefers to the power dissipated during the
conducting periods (milliseconds) of the braking transistor (this operates
undera form of pulse width modulation during braking).Higher
resistance values require proportionately lower instantaneous power
ratings.
The required averagepower rating of (and heat dissipated by) the
braking resistor depends on the duty cycle of the application (see 2.17

When the value ofPavis less than 125W, the internal braking

reduce the risk of the drive tripping under braking; tripping would
remove control from the motor, allowing it to coast.
4. Since brakingis planned to occurintermittently, an external resistor
can be ratedfor intermittent rather than continuouspower
dissipationso that the overload factor of the resistor can be used.
This factor can beobtained fromcooling curves for theresistor, as

NOTE
*
EN 50081-2, use an RFI filter for each drive,as shown in Table 2-11 .
(Standards that aremet are specif ied in AppendixB Data on page 26.)
Table 2-11 RFI filter details
Conditions for EMC compliance
The installer of the drive is responsible for ensuring compliance
with the EMC regulations that apply where the drive is to be used.
The drive will comply with thestandards for emission, such as
EN50081-2, only when the instruct ions given in this section are
adhered to closely.
Special note for EN61800-3 (EMC Power Drive Systems)
For installation in the‘secondenvironment’, i.e. where the low
voltage supply network does not supply domestic premises, and
wheretheratedinput current of the drive system exceeds100A, no
filter is required in order to meet IEC61800-3 (EN61800-3).
Operating the drive in this environment without an EMC filter may
cause interference to nearby electronic equipment whose
sensitivity has not beenappreciated.The user must take remedial
measures if this situation arises.
If the consequencesof unexpected disturbances are severe, it is
recommended that the emission limits of EN50081-2 be adhered to.
In any other case, adhere to the precautions described in this
section.
When the drive is used in the ‘first environment’, i.e. where the low
voltage supply network also supplies domestic premises, the following
warning applies:
Thisis a productof restricted distribution class
according to IEC61800-3. In a domestic environment this
WARNING
product may cause radio interference in which case the
user may be required to take adequate measures.
Follow these instructions in addition to those given earlier in this chapter.
Enclosure
The enclosure must be made of metal but does not require specialEMC
features.
Back-plate
Ensure the enclosure back-plate is unpainted, but it may be zinc plated.
Mounting brackets electrically connected to the back-plate
Ensurethe mounting brackets for the driveand RFI filter make direct
electrical connection with the back-plate.
Grounding
For compliance with EMC emission standards, employ the grounding
arrangements shownin thissection.These arrangementsare in addition
to (not instead of) the safety requirements.
The fittingof an additional safety ground will not reduce the EMC
performance.
External braking resistor
When an external braking resistor is to be mounted outside the
enclosure, ensure the following:
•The resistorhousing will giveelectromagnetic shielding(without
compromising ventilation)
•The braking-resistor wiring must be shielded/armoured
WARNING
The filter has a high leakage current to ground. A
permanent fixed ground connection must be provided.
Installing an RFI filter
For compliance with emission standards such as EN 50081-1 or
2.34Clearances from the RFI filter and AC
supply cables
1. Mount the RFI filter as close as
possible to thedrive. No
clearance is required either
side of the RFI filter or the
drive.
2. Make the wires connecting the
RFI filter to the drive as short
as possible.
3. Allow at least 100mm (4 in)
clearance (C) between the AC
supplycableand the following:
• Signalcables
•Drive
• Braking resistors and cables
• Motorsand cables
2.35Additional ground connections for
the signal cables
Electrically bond the shieldsof all thesignal cablesto the back-plate by
direct grounding unless ground-loop currents cause problems if the drive
is controlled by an analog speed reference. In this case, indirect
grounding can be used to ground all the cables except the cable
connected to the SIM ENC connector; this mustalwaysbe directly
grounded.
Refer to the next two diagrams.

Page 27
Direct grounding
1. Using an uninsulatedmetal cable-clamp(1), electrically bond the
shield (2)of the cable to the back-plate (3).
2. Ensure there is no more than 250mm(10 in) of cablelength(4)
between the clamp and the drive.
(Forclarity, the upper mounting brackethas been omitted from this
view.)
*
Indirect grounding
Indirect grounding uses a 10nFcapacitor to prevent low-frequency
ground-loop currents from occurring; these can cause problems in
systems controlled by analog signals.
1. Use insulatingstuds (5)to mount an uninsulated metalplate (6) on
the back-plate(3); the plate (6) must be insula ted fromthe backplate.
2. Using uninsulated metal cable-clamps (1), electrically bond the
shield (2) of each cable to the metal plate (6).
3. Ensure there is no more than 250mm(10 in) of cablelength(4)
between each clamp and the drive. (Refer to the preceding
diagram. )
4. Connect a 10nF 2kV ceramic disc capacitor (7) between the metal
plate(6) and the back-plate (3). Maximum permissiblelength of
each lead-outwireis 20mm(0.787in).
The shield of themotor cable must be electricallybonded to the motor
frame. The preferred method of achieving this is to connect the shield to
the ground terminalof the motor, as shown in the following two
diagrams.
For motors that have a power
inputsocket,a metal cable
plug should be used and the
cable shieldmake contact
withthe shell throughoutits
entire circumference (full 360°
termination). (A typicalplugis

If a full 360° termination is not
possible (due to a plastic plug
being used, or the motor
having separate terminals and
cable glands), a link no
longer than 25mm (1 in)
between the shield and the
terminal should be
used.

of the drive can exceed the maximumpermissible value.This mayresult
in loss of motor control due to excessive heatsink temperature causing
the drive to trip.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
This is a summary of the EMC performance of the drive when installed in
accordance with the instructions given in Chapter 2 Installing the drive .
Refer to section 2.32 EMC emission standards - complianceinformation on page 21. For full details,t he M’Ax EMC Data Sheet can
be obtainedfrom a DriveCentreor distributor listed at the end of this
guide.
Immunity
Compliance with immunity standards does not depend on installation
details. The drive meets EN50082–2 (generic immunity standard for the
industrial environment) and the following specifications from the
IEC61000–4 group (derived from IEC801):
Part2, Electrostatic discharge: Level 3
Part 3, Radio frequency field: Level 3
Part 4 Transien t burst:
Level 4 at the control terminals
Level 3 at the power terminals
Compliance with emission standards depends on rigorous adherence to
the installation guidelines, including the use of the specified RFI filterin
the AC supply circuit. Compliancealso depends on the length of the
motor cable. For full details, refer to the M’Ax EMC Data Sheet which
canbeobtainedfromaDriveCentreordistributorlistedattheend

Summary
Conducted and radiated emission meet EN50081–2 (generic emission
standard for the indust rial environment) over a wide range of conditions.
This is similar to CISPR11 and EN55011 Class A.
The optionalRFI filter, part number 3258-16-45, must be used.
Complian ce with EN61800–3 (standardfor Power Drive Systems)
Meetingthe requirements of this standard dependson the environment
that the drive is to be operated in, as follows:
Operation in the first environment
Observe the wiringguidelines given in the whole of Chapter 2 Installing
the drive , includingthe section 2.32 EMC emission standards -
compliance informationon page 21.
Operation in the second environment
Where the rated input current of the drive system is less than 100A:
Observe the wiring guidelines given in the whole of Chapter 2 Installing
Where the rated input current of the drive system exceeds 100A:
Observe the wiringguidelines in Chapter 2 Installing the drive ,
excluding the section 2.32 EMC emissionstandards - complianceinformation on page 21.
The second environment typically includes an
industrial low-voltage powersupply network which
does not supply buildings used for domestic purposes.
CAUTION
Operating the drive in this environment without an RFI
filter may cause interference to nearby electronic
equipment whose sensitivity has not been appreciated.
The user must take remedial measures if this situation
arises.
If the consequences of unexpected disturbances are
severe,it is recommended thatthe emission limits of
EN50081–2 be adhered to.
