1.3 Product Overview
A frequency converter is an electronic motor controller
that converts DC into a variable AC waveform output. The
frequency and voltage of the output are regulated to
control the motor speed or torque. The frequency
converter can vary the speed of the motor in response to
remote commands from external controllers.
The frequency converter offers many control, monitoring
and efficiency functions such as
monitoring the system and motor status
•
Issuing warnings or alarms for fault conditions
•
starting and stopping the motor
•
optimising energy efficiency
•
Operation and monitoring functions are available as status
indications to an outside control system or serial communication network.

Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input power. Qualified personnel
only should perform installation, start up, and
maintenance. Failure to perform installation, start up,
and maintenance by qualified personnel could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
the motor may start at any time. The frequency
converter, motor, and any driven equipment must be in
operational readiness. Failure to be in operational
readiness when the frequency converter is connected to
AC mains could result in death, serious injury,

Table 2.2 Approvals
The frequency converter complies with UL508C thermal
memory retention requirements. For more information,
refer to the section Motor Thermal Protection in the
product specific design guide.
NOTICE
Imposed limitations on the output frequency
(due to export control regulations):
From software version 6.72 onwards, the output
frequency of the frequency converter is limited to 590
Hz. Software versions 6x.xx also limit the maximum
output frequency to 590 Hz, but these versions cannot
be flashed, that is, neither downgraded nor upgraded.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
Frequency converters contain DC-link capacitors that can
remain charged even when the frequency converter is
not powered. To avoid electrical hazards, disconnect AC
mains, any permanent magnet type motors, and any
remote DC-link power supplies, including battery backups, UPS, and DC-link connections to other frequency
converters. Wait for the capacitors to fully discharge
before performing any service or repair work. The
amount of wait time is listed in the Discharge Time table.
Failure to wait the specified time after power has been
removed before doing service or repair could result in

3.4.1 General Requirements
This section contains detailed instructions for wiring the
frequency converter. The following tasks are described:
Wiring the motor to the frequency converter
•
output terminals
Wiring the AC mains to the frequency converter
•
input terminals
Connecting control and serial communication
•
wiring
After power has been applied, checking input
For safety, comply with the following requirements
Electronic controls equipment is connected to
•
hazardous mains voltage. Extreme care should be
taken to protect against electrical hazards when
applying power to the unit.
Run motor cables from multiple frequency
•
converters separately. Induced voltage from
output motor cables run together can charge
equipment capacitors even with the equipment
turned off and locked out.
Field wiring terminals are not intended to receive
•
a conductor one size larger.
Overload and equipment protection
An electronically activated function within the
•
frequency converter provides overload protection
for the motor. The overload calculates the level of
increase to activate timing for the trip (controller
output stop) function. The higher the current
draw, the quicker the trip response. The overload
provides Class 20 motor protection.
Because the motor wiring carries high frequency
•
current, it is important that wiring for mains,
motor power, and control are run separately. Use
metallic conduit or separated shielded wire. See
Illustration 3.2. Failure to isolate power, motor,
and control wiring could result in less than
optimum equipment performance.

Grounding Requirements
3.4.2
WARNING
GROUNDING HAZARD!
For operator safety, it is important to ground the
frequency converter properly in accordance with national
and local electrical codes as well as instructions
contained within this document. Do not use conduit
connected to the frequency converter as a replacement
for proper grounding. Ground currents are higher than
3.5 mA. Failure to ground the frequency converter
properly could result in death or serious injury.
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
earthing of equipment with a leakage current >3.5 mA.
Frequency converter technology implies high frequency
switching at high power. This will generate a leakage
current in the earth connection. A fault current in the
frequency converter at the output power terminals might
contain a DC component, which can charge the filter
capacitors and cause a transient earth current. The earth
leakage current depends on various system configurations
including RFI filtering, screened motor cables, and
frequency converter power.
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard)
requires special care if the leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
Earthing (grounding) must be reinforced in one of the
following ways:
See EN 60364-5-54 § 543.7 for further information.

3.5 Control Wiring Connection
3.5.1
All terminals to the control cables are located on the inside
of the frequency converter. To access, open the door
(IP21).
3.5.2
Danfoss recommends braided screened/armoured cables to
optimise EMC immunity of the control cables and the EMC
emission from the motor cables.
The ability of a cable to reduce the incoming and
outgoing radiation of electric noise depends on the
transfer impedance (ZT). The screen of a cable is normally
designed to reduce the transfer of electric noise; however,
a screen with a lower transfer impedance (ZT) value is
more effective than a screen with a higher transfer
impedance (ZT).
Transfer impedance (ZT) is rarely stated by cable manufacturers, but it is often possible to estimate transfer
impedance (ZT) by assessing the physical design of the
cable.

Correct screening
The preferred method in most cases is to secure control
and serial communication cables with screening clamps
provided at both ends to ensure best possible high
frequency cable contact. If the ground potential between
the frequency converter and the PLC is different, electric
noise may occur that disturbs the entire system. Solve this
problem by fitting an equalizing cable next to the control

Serial Communication
RS485 is a two-wire bus interface compatible with multidrop network topology.
Terminate each segment at both ends, using the
termination switch (S801) of the frequency converter.
Always use screened twisted pair (STP) cable for bus
cabling, and always follow good common installation
practice.
Low-impedance earth (ground) connection of the screen at
every node is important, including at high frequencies.
Thus, connect a large surface of the screen to earth
(ground), for example with a cable clamp or a conductive
cable gland. It may be necessary to apply potentialequalizing cables to maintain the same earth (ground)
potential throughout the network. Particularly in installations with long cables.

Protection and Features
Electronic thermal motor protection against overload.
•
Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the frequency converter trips if the temperature reaches
•
95 °C ±5 °C. An overload temperature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heat sink is below 70 °C ±5 °C
(Guideline - these temperatures may vary for different power sizes, enclosures etc.).
The frequency converter is protected against short-circuits on motor terminals U, V, W.
•
If a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
•
Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips if the intermediate circuit
•
voltage is too low or too high.
The frequency converter is protected against earth (ground) faults on motor terminals U, V, W.

EN 61000-4-2, EN 61000-4-3, EN 61000-4-4, EN 61000-4-5, EN 61000-4-6
In order to protect the installation against electrical and fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch gear,
machines etc., must be short-circuited and over-current protected according to national/international regulations.
Short-circuit protection
The frequency converter must be protected against short-circuit to avoid electrical or fire hazard. Danfoss recommends
using the fuses mentioned below to protect service personnel and equipment in case of an internal failure in the frequency
conveter. The frequency converter provides full short-circuit protection in case of a short-circuit on the motor output.
55
Over-current protection
Provide overload protection to avoid fire hazard due to overheating of the cables in the installation. The frequency
converter is equipped with an internal over-current protection that can be used for upstream overload protection (ULapplications excluded). Moreover, fuses or circuit breakers can be used to provide the over-current protection in the
installation. Over-current protection must always be carried out according to national regulations.
Fuse Selection
5.3.2
Danfoss recommends using the following fuses which ensures compliance with EN 50178. In case of malfunction, not
following the recommendation may result in unnecessary damage to the frequency converter.
The fuses below are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering 100,000 Arms (symmetrical).
The Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of the frequency
converters is 100,000 amps at all voltages (380–575 V).
5.3.4 Connection Tightening Torques
When tightening all electrical connections it is very
important to tighten with the correct torque. Too low or
too high torque results in a bad electrical connection. Use
a torque wrench to ensure correct torque. Always use a
torque wrench to tighten the bolts.
