Environmental statement
Emerson Industrial Automation is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS)
which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our Environmental Policy
and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at:
http://www.emersonindustrial.com/en-EN/controltechniques/aboutus/environment/Pages/environment.aspx.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Emerson Industrial Automation have the potential to save
energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout
their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative
impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded but should
instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products easy to
dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated
without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product
are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller
products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these
containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product, can be recycled
in the same way. Emerson Industrial Automation’s packaging strategy prefers easily-recyclable materials of low
environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best practice.

CAUT ION
NOTE
1.1Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Warning contains information which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the
product or other equipment.
A Note contains information, which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.
1.2Electrical safety - general warning
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. Specific warnings
are given at the relevant places in this guide.
1.3System design and safety of personnel
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 high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used
to control equipment which can cause injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards either
in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design, installation,
commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary
training and experience. They must read this safety information and this Power Installation Guide
carefully.
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 supply must be disconnected by an approved
electrical isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
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.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which might result in a hazard,
either through their intended behavior 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.
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.

1.8Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Ensure the
motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed operation. If it is intended to
use the capability of the drive to run a motor at speeds above its designed maximum, it is strongly
recommended that the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less effective. 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 should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in Pr 00.046 motor rated current. This affects the
thermal protection of the motor.

Typical 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. Typical values are shown in the table below:

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.
@
Output current
The continuous output current ratings given on the rating label are for maximum 40 °C (104 °F), 1000
m altitude and 2 kHz switching frequency. Derating is required for higher switching frequencies,
ambient temperatures >40 °C (104 °F) and higher altitude. For further information, refer to Chapter
5.1 Drive technical data on page 73.
Input current
The input current is affected by the supply voltage and impedance. The input current given on the
rating label is the typical input current and is stated for a balanced supply.

3.1Safety information
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must be adhered to. Any questions
or doubt should be referred to the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the
owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and any external option unit, and
the way in which they are operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of the
Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or applicable legislation and
regulations and codes of practice in the country in which the equipment is used.
Stored 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.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual
fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed
in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Emerson Industrial Automation or their
authorized distributor.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who are familiar with the
requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end
product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used.
Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It is
designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC
60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.

3.2 Planning the installation
NOTE
The following considerations must be made when planning the installation:
3.2.1Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place
of use must be complied with.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating of the drive is installation dependent. For further information, refer
to section 3.9 Enclosing standard drive for high environmental protection on page 31.
3.2.2Environmental protection
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 3.6 Enclosure for standard drives on page 26.
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.

The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the bottom, must be designed to
prevent escape of burning material - either by having no openings or by having a baffle construction.
This means that openings for cables etc. must be sealed with materials meeting the 5VB
requirement, or else have a baffle above. See Figure 3-2 for acceptable baffle construction. This
does not apply for mounting in an enclosed electrical operating area (restricted access) with concrete
floor.

3.2.6Electromagnetic compatibility
Variable speed drives are powerful electronic circuits which can cause electromagnetic interference if
not installed correctly with careful attention to the layout of the wiring.
Some simple routine precautions can prevent disturbance to typical industrial control equipment.
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that electromagnetically sensitive
equipment is located nearby, then full precautions must be observed. In-built into the drive, is an
internal EMC filter, which reduces emissions under certain conditions. If these conditions are
exceeded, then the use of an external EMC filter may be required at the drive inputs, which must be
located very close to the drives. Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made for
carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in section 4.13 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 58.
3.2.7Hazardous areas
The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is installed in an approved
enclosure and the installation is certified.

Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device
before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
Stored 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.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual
fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed
in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Emerson Industrial Automation or their
authorized distributor.
3.3.1 Removing the terminal covers
Unidrive M / Unidrive HS size 11E drives are installed with three terminal covers: Control, input and
output terminal covers.

3.4Dimensions and mounting methods
The Unidrive M/HS Frame 11E can be either surface or through-panel mounted using the appropriate
brackets. Surface mounting is where the drive is simply secured to the enclosure wall/backplate.
Through-panel mounting is where the drive is secured with the heatsink protruding through the
enclosure panel to the external environment. This has the effect of reducing the temperature within
the enclosure.
The following drawings show the dimensions of the drive and mounting holes for each method to
allow a back plate to be prepared.
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink can reach
temperatures in excess of 70 °C (158 °F). Human contact with the heatsink should be
prevented.

NOTE
1. Add the dissipation figures from section 5.1.3 Power dissipation on page 76 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
5.2.2 EMC filter ratings on page 89 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 from
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.

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.
