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.
