1.4 Product Overview
1.4.1 Intended Use
The drive is an electronic motor controller intended for:
•
Regulation of motor speed in response to system feedback or to remote commands from external controllers. A power-drive
system consists of the drive, the motor, and equipment driven by the motor.
•
System and motor status surveillance.
The drive can also be used for motor protection.
Depending on the configuration, the drive can be used in standalone applications or form part of a larger appliance or installation.
The VLT® Decentral Drive FCD 302 is designed for decentral mounting, for example, in the food and beverage industry, or for other
material handling applications. With the FCD 302, it is possible to reduce costs by placing the power electronics decentrally. Central
panels are then rendered obsolete, saving cost, space, and effort for installation and wiring. The basic design is service-friendly with
a pluggable electronic part and a flexible and spacious wiring box. It is easy to change electronics without the need for rewiring.
Installation environment: The drive is allowed for use in residential, industrial, and commercial environments in accordance with
local laws and standards.

•
Make sure that the items supplied and the information on the nameplate correspond to the order confirmation.
•
Check the packaging and the drive visually for damage caused by inappropriate handling during shipment. File any claim for
damage with the carrier. Retain damaged parts for clarification.
Ensure that the requirements for storage are fulfilled, see 7.4.1 Environment.
3.2 Installation Environment
N O T I C E
REDUCED LIFETIME
In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or corrosive gases, ensure that the IP/Type rating of the equipment matches the
installation environment. Failure to meet requirements for ambient conditions can reduce lifetime of the drive.
Ensure that requirements for air humidity, temperature, and altitude are met.
-
Vibration and shock
The drive complies with requirements for units mounted on the walls and floors of production premises, and in panels bolted to
walls or floors. For detailed ambient conditions, refer to 7.4.1 Environment.
3.3 Mounting
3.3.1 Cooling
The VLT® Decentral DriveFCD 302 has no forced cooling. It relies only on natural convection for cooling using the cooling fins.
•
A minimum of 100 mm (4 in) top and bottom air cooling clearance must be provided.
•
Derating starts above 40 °C (104 °F) and 1000 m (3280 ft) elevation above sea level. See the VLT® Decentral DriveFCD 302 Design
Guide for detailed information.
Mount the VLT® Decentral DriveFCD 302 vertically on a wall or machine frame. For hygienic versions ensure that liquids
drain off the enclosure and orient the unit so the cable glands are located at the base.

3.3.3.2 Installing the Inverter Part
Procedure for compressing the gasket between the 2 parts.
Procedure
1.
Tighten the 4 connection screws to torque 2.8–3.0 Nm (24–26 in-lb).
2.
Tighten the 4 screws in diagonally opposite order.
3.
Tighten the 2 grounding spears to torque 3.0 (26 in-lb).
See 2.1 Safety Precautions for general safety instructions.
W A R N I N G
INDUCED VOLTAGE
Induced voltage from output motor cables that run together can charge equipment capacitors, even with the equipment turned
off and locked out. Failure to run output motor cables separately or to use shielded cables could result in death or serious injury.
Run output motor cables separately or use shielded cables.
-
Simultaneously lock out all the drives.
-
W A R N I N G
SHOCK HAZARD
The unit can cause a DC current in the PE conductor. Failure to use a Type B residual current-operated protective device (RCD)
may lead to the RCD not providing the intended protection and therefore may result in death or serious injury.
When an RCD is used for protection against electrical shock, only a Type B device is allowed on the supply side.
-
Overcurrent protection
•
Extra protective equipment, such as short-circuit protection or motor thermal protection between drive and motor, is required
for applications with multiple motors.
•
Input fusing is required to provide short circuit and overcurrent protection. If not factory-supplied, the installer must provide
fuses. See maximum fuse ratings in 7.7.2 Recommended Maximum Pre-fuse Size 25 A.
Wire type and ratings
•
All wiring must comply with local and national regulations regarding cross-section and ambient temperature requirements.
•
Power connection wire recommendation: Minimum 75 °C (167 °F) rated copper wire. See 7.1 Electrical Data for recommended
wire sizes and types.
4.2 EMC-compliant Installation
To obtain an EMC-compliant installation, follow the instructions provided in 4.3 Grounding, 4.4 Wiring Schematic, 4.7 Connecting
the Motor, and 4.10.1 Control Wiring.
N O T I C E
POTENTIAL EQUALIZATION
Risk of burst transient when the ground potential between the drive and the control system is different. Install equalizing cables
between the system components. Recommended cable cross-section: 16 mm2 (6 AWG).
4.3 Grounding
For electrical safety
•
Ground the drive in accordance with applicable standards and directives.
•
Use a dedicated ground wire for input power, motor power, and control wiring.
•
Do not ground 1 drive to another in a daisy chain fashion.
•
Keep the ground wire connections as short as possible.
Establish electrical contact between the cable shield and the drive enclosure by using metal cable glands or by using the clamps
provided on the equipment.
•
Use high-strand wire to reduce electrical interference.
•
Do not use pigtails.

PE CONNECTION
The metal pins in the corners of the electronic part and the holes on the corner of the installation box are essential for the protec-
tive earth connection. Make sure that they are not loosened, removed, or violated in any way. Tightening torque requirement is
3 Nm (26.6 in-lb).

The external grounding terminal is available as an accessory (ordering number 130B5833).
Illustration 13: Location of Terminals (Large Unit)
For both small and large units, the service switch is optional. The switch is shown mounted on the motor side. Alternatively, the
switch can be on the mains side or omitted.
For the large unit, the circuit breaker is optional. The large unit can be configured with either service switch or circuit breaker, not
both. The illustration shown is not configurable in practice, but shows the respective positions of components only.
4.6 Terminal Types
Motor, control, and mains terminals are spring loaded (CAGE-CLAMP) type.
1.
Open the contact by inserting a small screwdriver into the slot above the contact, as shown in Illustration 14.
2.
Insert the stripped wire into the contact.
3.
Remove the screwdriver to fasten the wire into the contact.
