IMPORTANT NOTICE
These electronic drive products are intended to be used with appropriate motors, controllers, electrical
protection components and other equipment to form complete end products or systems. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the design of the complete machine, including its safety-related
control system, is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and any
other relevant legislation. The use of a safety-related drive in itself does not ensure the safety of the
machine. Compliance with safety and EMC regulations depends upon installing and configuring drives
correctly, including using the specified input filters. The drive must be installed only by professional
installers who are familiar with requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for
ensuring that the end product or system complies with all relevant laws in the country where it is to be
used. For more information regarding Safe Torque Off, refer to the Product Documentation.

2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
1.5Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal.
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous voltage
may be present in any of the following locations:
•AC and DC supply cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be touched.
The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to
the electrical connections.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the
output of the drive or from any external option unit.
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in this guide. Failure to observe
the instructions could result in a fire hazard.
1.6Stored electrical charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply
has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten
minutes before work may continue.
1.7Mechanical hazards
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or controller which might result in a
hazard, either through their intended behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any
application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow damage, loss
or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to reduce
the risk - for example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a
fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the drive functions must be
used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related application. The system designer is
responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by personnel with the required
training and experience. The Safe Torque Off function will only ensure the safety of a machine if it is
correctly incorporated into a complete safety system. The system must be subject to a risk
assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at an acceptable level for the
application.
1.8Access to equipment
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place
of use must be complied with.
1.9Environmental limits
Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the equipment must be
complied with, including the specified environmental limits. This includes temperature, humidity,
contamination, shock and vibration. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.
12 Unidrive M100 to M400 Frame 1 to 4 Power Installation Guide
Issue Number: 5
1.10Hazardous environments
The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment (i.e. a potentially explosive
environment).
1.11Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less effective,
causing a fire hazard. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor. The default
values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is essential that the correct value is entered in the
Motor Rated Current parameter.
1.12Mechanical brake control
Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an external brake
with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high standards of quality and
robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure would result
in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism
could result in injury, independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.
1.13Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not be altered
without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to
prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.
1.14Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided in the relevant Power
Installation Guide. If the installation is poorly designed or other equipment does not comply with
suitable standards for EMC, the product might cause or suffer from disturbance due to
electromagnetic interaction with other equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that
the equipment or system into which the product is incorporated complies with the relevant EMC
legislation in the place of use.

2.3.1Typical short term overload limits
The maximum percentage overload limit changes depending on the selected motor. Variations in
motor rated current, motor power factor and motor leakage inductance all result in changes in the
maximum possible overload. The exact value for a specific motor can be calculated using the
equations detailed in Menu 4 in the Parameter Reference Guide.
Typical values are shown in the table below for RFC-A and open loop (OL) modes:

Generally the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current allowing a higher
level of overload than the default setting.
The time allowed in the overload region is proportionally reduced at very low output frequency on
some drive ratings.
The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.

3.2.2Environmental protection
NOTE
The drive must be protected from:
•Moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and condensation. An anti-condensation
heater may be required, which must be switched off when the drive is running.
•Contamination with electrically conductive material
•Contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or impair airflow over various
components
•Temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
•Corrosive gasses
During installation it is recommended that the vents on the drive are covered to prevent
debris (e.g. wire off-cuts) from entering the drive.
3.2.3Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified operating temperature being
exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one,
and may need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
For further information, refer to section 3.5.1 Enclosure sizing on page 28.
3.2.4Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions. Electrical installation instructions are
given in Chapter 4 Electrical installation on page 41.
3.2.5Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1, standard for PV inverters) is
recommended.
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet requirements which can be
summarized for larger enclosures as using materials meeting at least UL 94 class 5VB at the point of
minimum thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure 3-1. Any part of the side
which is within the area traced out by the 5° angle is also considered to be part of the bottom of the
fire enclosure.

NOTE
1. Add the dissipation figures from section 5.1.2 Power dissipation on page 81 for each drive that is
to be installed in the enclosure.
2. If an external EMC filter is to be used with each drive, add the dissipation figures from section
5.2.1 EMC filter ratings on page 101 for each external EMC filter that is to be installed in the
enclosure.
3. If the braking resistor is to be mounted inside the enclosure, add the average power figures for
each braking resistor that is to be installed in the enclosure.
4. Calculate the total heat dissipation (in Watts) of any other equipment to be installed in the
enclosure.
5. Add the heat dissipation figures obtained above. This gives a figure in Watts for the total heat that
will be dissipated inside the enclosure.
Calculating the size of a sealed enclosure
The enclosure transfers internally generated heat into the surrounding air by natural convection (or
external forced air flow); the greater the surface area of the enclosure walls, the better is the
dissipation capability. Only the surfaces of the enclosure that are unobstructed (not in contact with a
wall or floor) can dissipate heat.
Calculate the minimum required unobstructed surface area A

Example
To calculate the size of an enclosure for the following:
•Two drives operating at the Normal Duty rating
•External EMC filter for each drive
•Braking resistors are to be mounted outside the enclosure
•Maximum ambient temperature inside the enclosure: 40 C
•Maximum ambient temperature outside the enclosure: 30 C
For example, if the power dissipation from each drive is 187 W and the power dissipation from each
external EMC filter is 9.2 W.

3.5.2Enclosure design and drive ambient temperature
Drive derating is required for operation in high ambient temperatures
Totally enclosing or through panel mounting the drive in either a sealed cabinet (no airflow) or in a
well ventilated cabinet makes a significant difference on drive cooling.
The chosen method affects the ambient temperature value (T
) which should be used for any
rate
necessary derating to ensure sufficient cooling for the whole of the drive.
The ambient temperature for the four different combinations is defined below:

3.6 Heatsink fan operation
The drive is ventilated by an internal heatsink fan. The fan channels air through the heatsink
chamber.
Ensure the minimum clearances around the drive are maintained to allow air to flow freely.
The heatsink fan on all drive sizes is a variable speed fan (except for size 1 which has a single speed
fan). The drive controls the speed at which the fan runs based on the temperature of the heatsink
and the drive's thermal model system. The maximum speed at which the fan operates can be limited
in Pr 06.045. This could incur an output current derating.

* Resistor tolerance: ±10 %
For high-inertia loads or under continuous braking, the continuous power dissipated in the braking
resistor may be as high as the power rating of the drive. The total energy dissipated in the braking
resistor is dependent on the amount of energy to be extracted from the load.
The instantaneous power rating refers to the short-term maximum power dissipated during the on
intervals of the pulse width modulated braking control cycle. The braking resistor must be able to
withstand this dissipation for short intervals (milliseconds). Higher resistance values require
proportionately lower instantaneous power ratings.
In most applications, braking occurs only occasionally. This allows the continuous power rating of the
braking resistor to be much lower than the power rating of the drive. It is therefore essential that the
instantaneous power rating and energy rating of the braking resistor are sufficient for the most
extreme braking duty that is likely to be encountered.
Optimization of the braking resistor requires careful consideration of the braking duty.
Select a value of resistance for the braking resistor that is not less than the specified minimum
resistance. Larger resistance values may give a cost saving, as well as a safety benefit in the event
of a fault in the braking system. Braking capability will then be reduced, which could cause the drive
to trip during braking if the value chosen is too large.
Thermal protection circuit for the braking resistor
The thermal protection circuit must disconnect the AC supply from the drive if the resistor becomes
overloaded due to a fault. Figure 4-11 shows a typical circuit arrangement.

5.1.3Supply requirements
AC supply voltage:
100 V drive: 100 V to 120 V ±10 %
200 V drive: 200 V to 240 V ±10 %
400 V drive: 380 V to 480 V ±10 %
Maximum supply imbalance: 2 % negative phase sequence (equivalent to 3 % voltage imbalance
between phases).
Frequency range: 45 to 66 Hz
For UL compliance only, the maximum supply symmetrical fault current must be limited to 100 kA
5.1.4Line reactors
Input line reactors reduce the risk of damage to the drive resulting from poor phase balance or
severe disturbances on the supply network.
Where line reactors are to be used, reactance values of approximately 2 % are recommended.
Higher values may be used if necessary, but may result in a loss of drive output (reduced torque at
high speed) because of the voltage drop.
For all drive ratings, 2 % line reactors permit drives to be used with a supply unbalance of up to 3.5 %
negative phase sequence (equivalent to 5 % voltage imbalance between phases).
Severe disturbances may be caused by the following factors, for example:
•Power factor correction equipment connected close to the drive.
•Large DC drives having no or inadequate line reactors connected to the supply.
•Across the line (DOL) started motor(s) connected to the supply such that when any of these
motors are started, the voltage dip exceeds 20 %
Such disturbances may cause excessive peak currents to flow in the input power circuit of the drive.
This may cause nuisance tripping, or in extreme cases, failure of the drive.
Drives of low power rating may also be susceptible to disturbance when connected to supplies with a
high rated capacity.
Line reactors are particularly recommended for use with the following drive models when one of the
above factors exists, or when the supply capacity exceeds 175 kVA: Size 1 to 3
Model sizes 04200133 to 04400170 have an internal DC choke so they do not require AC line
reactors except for cases of excessive phase unbalance or extreme supply conditions.
When required, each drive must have its own reactor(s). Three individual reactors or a single threephase reactor should be used.
Reactor current ratings
The current rating of the line reactors should be as follows:
Continuous current rating:
Not less than the continuous input current rating of the drive
Repetitive peak current rating:
Not less than twice the continuous input current rating of the drive
The recommended AC line reactors are shown in section 4.2.4 Input line reactor specification for size 1 to 4 on page 49.

5.1.6 Temperature, humidity and cooling method
Size 1 to 4:
Ambient temperature operating range:
- 20 °C to 60 °C (- 4 °F to 140 °F).
Output current derating must be applied at ambient temperatures >40 °C (104 °F).
Cooling method: Forced convection
Maximum humidity: 95 % non-condensing at 40 °C (104 °F)
5.1.7Storage
Size 1 to 4:
-40 °C (-40 °F) to +60 °C (140 °F) for long term storage.
Storage time is 2 years.
Electrolytic capacitors in any electronic product have a storage period after which they require
reforming or replacing.
The DC bus capacitors have a storage period of 10 years.
The low voltage capacitors on the control supplies typically have a storage period of 2 years and are
thus the limiting factor.
Low voltage capacitors cannot be reformed due to their location in the circuit and thus may require
replacing if the drive is stored for a period of 2 years or greater without power being applied.
It is therefore recommended that drives are powered up for a minimum of 1 hour after every 2 years
of storage.
This process allows the drive to be stored for a further 2 years.
5.1.8 Altitude
Altitude range: 0 to 3,000 m (9,900 ft), subject to the following conditions:
1,000 m to 3,000 m (3,300 ft to 9,900 ft) above sea level: de-rate the maximum output current
from the specified figure by 1% per 100 m (330 ft) above 1,000 m (3,300 ft)
For example at 3,000 m (9,900 ft) the output current of the drive would have to be de-rated by 20 %.
5.1.9 IP / UL Rating
The drive is rated to IP20 pollution degree 2 (non-conductive contamination only).
In addition to this, drives are rated to IP21 standard (without an Adaptor Interface module installed).
The IP rating of a product is a measure of protection against ingress and contact to foreign bodies
and water. It is stated as IP XX, where the two digits (XX) indicate the degree of protection provided
as shown in Table 5-5.

is ± 0.02 % of the reference, when a preset frequency is used. If an analog input is used, the absolute
accuracy is further limited by the absolute accuracy of the analog input.
The following data applies to the drive only; it does not include the performance of the source of the
control signals.
Open & closed loop resolution:
Preset frequency reference: 0.01 Hz

5.1.17Acoustic noise
The heatsink fan generates the majority of the sound produced by the drive. The heatsink fan on all
drives is a variable speed fan (except size 1, which is a single speed fan). The drive controls the speed
at which the fan runs based on the temperature of the heatsink and the drive's thermal model system.
Table 5-7 gives the sound pressure level at 1 m produced by the drive for the heatsink fan running at
the maximum and minimum speeds.

* Resistor tolerance: ±10 %
For high-inertia loads or under continuous braking, the continuous power dissipated in the braking
resistor may be as high as the power rating of the drive. The total energy dissipated in the braking
resistor is dependent on the amount of energy to be extracted from the load.
The instantaneous power rating refers to the short-term maximum power dissipated during the on
intervals of the pulse width modulated braking control cycle. The braking resistor must be able to
withstand this dissipation for short intervals (milliseconds). Higher resistance values require
proportionately lower instantaneous power ratings.
In most applications, braking occurs only occasionally. This allows the continuous power rating of the
braking resistor to be much lower than the power rating of the drive. It is therefore essential that the
instantaneous power rating and energy rating of the braking resistor are sufficient for the most
extreme braking duty that is likely to be encountered.
Optimization of the braking resistor requires careful consideration of the braking duty.
Select a value of resistance for the braking resistor that is not less than the specified minimum
resistance. Larger resistance values may give a cost saving, as well as a safety benefit in the event
of a fault in the braking system. Braking capability will then be reduced, which could cause the drive
to trip during braking if the value chosen is too large.
