Leakage Current
The ground leakage current from the adjustable frequency
drive exceeds 3.5 mA. To ensure that the ground cable has
a good mechanical connection to the ground connection
(terminal 95), the cable cross-section must be at least 0.016
in2 [10 mm2] or 2 rated ground wires terminated
separately. For proper grounding for EMC, see section
Grounding in the How to Install chapter.
Residual Current Device
The drive can cause DC current in the protective
conductor. Where a residual current device (RCD) is used
for extra protection, only an RCD of Type B (time delayed)
shall be used on the supply side of this product.
Protective grounding of the adjustable frequency drive and
the use of RCDs must always follow national and local
regulations.

Before Commencing Repair Work

2.1.4

1. Disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from
line power.

2. Disconnect DC bus terminals 88 and 89 from load
share applications

3. Wait for the discharge of the DC link. See period
of time on the warning label.

4. Remove motor cable

Avoid Unintended Start

2.1.5

While the adjustable frequency drive is connected to line
power, the motor can be started/stopped using digital
commands, bus commands, references or via the keypad::

Disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from

•

line power whenever personal safety consider­ations make it necessary to avoid an unintended
start.

To avoid unintended start, always activate the

•

[OFF] key before changing parameters.
An electronic fault, temporary overload, a fault in

•

the line power supply, or lost motor connection
may cause a stopped motor to start. The
adjustable frequency drive with safe stop
provides protection against unintended start, if
Safe Stop Terminal 37 is deactivated or discon­nected.

CAUTION

Safe Stop

The can perform the safety function Safe Torque Off (As
defined by draft CD IEC 61800-5-2) or Stop Category 0 (as
defined in EN 60204-1).

It is designed and approved suitable for the requirements
of Safety Category 3 in EN 954-1. This functionality is called
Safe Stop. Prior to integration and use of Safe Stop in an
installation, a thorough risk analysis on the installation
must be carried out in order to determine whether the
Safe Stop functionality and safety category are appropriate
and sufficient. In order to install and use the Safe Stop
function in accordance with the requirements of Safety
Category 3 in EN 954-1, the related information and
instructions of the Design Guide must be followed! The
information and instructions of the Instruction Manual are
not sufficient for a correct and safe use of the safe stop
functionality!

Safe Stop Installation

2.1.7

To carry out an installation of a Category 0 Stop
(EN60204) in conformity with Safety Category 3 (EN954-1),
follow these instructions:

1. The bridge (jumper) between Terminal 37 and
24V DC must be removed. Cutting or breaking
the jumper is not sufficient. Remove it entirely to
avoid short-circuiting. See jumper on Figure 2.1.

2. Connect terminal 37 to 24 V DC by a short
circuit-protected cable. The 24 V DC voltage
supply must be interruptible by an EN954-1
category 3 circuit interrupt device. If the interrupt
device and the are placed in the same installation
panel, you can use an non-shielded cable instead
of a shielded one.

3.2.4 Cooling and Airflow

Cooling
Cooling can be obtained in different ways, by using the
cooling ducts in the bottom and the top of the unit, by
taking air in and out the back of the unit or by combining
the cooling possibilities.

Duct cooling
A dedicated option has been developed to optimize instal­lation of drive types in Rittal TS8 Units utilizing the fan of
the adjustable frequency drive for forced air cooling of the
backchannel. Please consult GE for more details.
The air out the top of the Unit could but ducted outside a
facility so the heat loses from the backchannel are not
dissipated within the control room reducing air­conditioning requirements of the facility.

Back cooling
The backchannel air can also be ventilated in and out the
back of a Rittal TS8 Unit. This offers a solution where the
backchannel could take air from outside the facility and
return the heat losses outside the facility thus reducing air­conditioning requirements.

Airflow
The necessary airflow over the heatsink must be ensured.
The flow rate is shown below.

Cables are connected through the connector plate from
the bottom. Remove the plate and plan where to place the
entry for the connectors or conduits. Prepare holes in the
marked area on the drawing.

NOTE!

The connector plate must be fitted to the adjustable
frequency drive to ensure the specified protection degree,
as well as ensuring proper cooling of the unit. If the
connector plate is not mounted, the adjustable frequency
drive may trip on Alarm 69, Pwr. Card Temp

External ducts
If additional duct work is added externally to the Rittal
cabinet, the pressure drop in the ducting must be
calculated. Use the charts below to derate the adjustable
frequency drive according to the pressure drop.
