2.3 Safety Precautions
W A R N I N G
HIGH VOLTAGE
AC drives contain high voltage when connected to AC mains input, DC supply, or load sharing. Failure to perform installation,
start-up, and maintenance by qualified personnel can result in death or serious injury.
Only qualified personnel must perform installation, start-up, and maintenance.
-
W A R N I N G
UNINTENDED START
When the drive is connected to AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing, the motor may start at any time. Unintended start during
programming, service, or repair work can result in death, serious injury, or property damage. Start the motor with an external
switch, a fieldbus command, an input reference signal from the local control panel (LCP), via remote operation using MCT 10
software, or after a cleared fault condition.
Disconnect the drive from the mains.
-
Press [Off/Reset] on the LCP before programming parameters.
-
Ensure that the drive is fully wired and assembled when it is connected to AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing.
The dimensions are only for the physical units. When installing in an application, allow space above and below the units for cooling.
The amount of space for free air passage is listed in 3.1.1 Side-by-side Installation.
Installation
3.2 Electrical Installation
3.2.1 Electrical Installation in General
All cabling must comply with national and local regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient temperature. Copper conductors
are required. 75 °C (167 °F) is recommended.
Table 6: Tightening Torques for Enclosure Sizes I2–I8
1
Cable dimensions ≤95 mm2.
3.2.2 IT Mains
IT MAINS
Installation on isolated mains source, that is, IT mains.
Ensure that the supply voltage does not exceed 440 V (3x380–480 V units) when connected to mains.
-
For IP54, 400 V, 0.75–18.5 kW (1.0–25 hp) units, open the RFI switch by removing the EMC screw inside the drive when at IT grid. The
EMC screw is shown in the the following illustration.
For IP54, 400 V, 22-90 kW (30–125 hp) units, the RFI switch can be opened in parameter 14-50 RFI Filter. Select [1] On to turn the RFI
filter on. The RFI filter ensures that the drive complies with EMC standards. Select [0] Off only when the drive is connected to IT
mains.
N O T I C E
If reinserted, use only M3x12 screw.
3.2.3 Mains and Motor Connection
3.2.3.1 Introduction
The drive is designed to operate all standard 3-phase induction motors.
•
Use a shielded/armored motor cable to comply with EMC emission specifications and connect this cable to the motor.
•
Keep the motor cable as short as possible to reduce the noise level and leakage currents.
