1. SAFETY

ONLY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN IS ALLOWED TO CARRY
OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION!

This manual contains clearly marked cautions and warnings which are intended for
your personal safety and to avoid any unintentional damage to the product or con­nected appliances.

Please read the information included in cautions and warnings carefully:

=Dangerous voltage

Risk of death or severe injury

=General warning

Risk of damage to the product or
connected appliances

1.1 Warnings

The components of the power unit of the frequency converter
are live when Vacon 10 is connected to mains. Coming into
contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may
cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from
the mains potential.

The motor terminals U, V, W (T1, T2, T3) and the possible brake
resistor terminals - / + are live when Vacon 10 is connected to
mains, even if the motor is not running.

The control I / O-terminals are isolated from the mains poten­tial. However, the relay output terminals may have a danger­ous control voltage present even when Vacon 10 is
disconnected from mains.

The earth leakage current of Vacon 10 frequency converters
exceeds 3.5 mA AC. According to standard EN61800-5-1, a
reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured.

If the frequency converter is used as a part of a ma chine, the
machine manufacturer is responsible for providing the
machine with a main switch (EN 60204-1).

If Vacon 10 is disconnected from mains while running the
motor, it remains live if the motor is energized by the process.
In this case the motor functions as a generator feeding energy
to the frequency converter.

2 • vacon safety

After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains,
wait until the fan stops and the indicators on the display go
out. Wait 5 more minutes before doing any work on Vacon 10
connections.

The motor can start automatically after a fault situation, if the
autoreset function has been activated.

1.2 Safety instructions

The Vacon 10 frequency converter has been designed for fixed
installations only.

Do not perform any measurements when the frequency con­verter is connected to the mains.

Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of
Vacon 10. The product safety is fully tested at factory.

Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, dis­connect the motor cable from the frequency converter.

Do not open the cover of Vacon 10. Static voltage discharge
from your fingers may damage the components. Opening the
cover may also damage the device. If the cover of Vacon 10 is
opened, warranty becomes void.

1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection

The Vacon 10 frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conduc­tor connected to the earthing terminal. See figure below:

MI1 - MI3

• The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects

only the converter itself against earth faults.

• If fault current protective switches are used they must be tested

with the drive with earth fault currents that are possible to arise in
fault situations.

3.1.2 Cooling

Enough free space shall be left above and below the frequency converter to ensure
sufficient air circulation and cooling. You will find the required dimensions for free
space in the table below.

If several units are mounted above each other the required free space equals C + D
(see Installation space). Moreover, the outlet air used for cooling by the lower unit
must be directed away from the air intake of the upper unit.

The amount of cooling air required is indicated below. Also make sure that the tem­perature of the cooling air does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature of
the converter.

3.1.4 EMC levels

EN61800-3 defines the division of frequency converters into four classes according
to the level of electromagnetic disturbances emitted, the requirements of a power
system network and the installation environment (see below). The EMC class of each
product is defined in the type designation code.

Category C1: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C1 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C1 ensures the
best EMC characteristics and it includes converters the rated voltage of which is less
than 1000 V and which are intended for use in the 1st environment.
NOTE: The requirements of class C are fulfilled only as far as the conducted emis­sions are concerned.

Category C2: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C2 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C2 includes con­verters in fixed installations and the rated voltage of which is less than 1000 V. The
class C2 frequency converters can be used both in the 1st and the 2nd environment.

Category C4: The drives of this class do not provide EMC emission protection. These
kinds of drives are mounted in enclosures.

Environments in product standard EN 61800-3 (2004)

First environment: Environment that includes domestic premises. It also includes
establishments directly connected without intermediate transformers to a low-volt­age power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

NOTE: houses, apartments, commercial premises or offices in a residential building
are examples of first environment locations.

Second environment: Environment that includes all establishments other than
those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes.
NOTE: industrial areas, technical areas of any building fed from a dedicated trans­former are examples of second environment locations.

3.1.5 Changing the EMC protection class from C2 to C4

The EMC protection class of MI1-3 frequency converters can be changed from class
C2 to class C4 (except 115V and 600V drives) by removing the EMC-capacitor discon-

necting screw, see figure below.

Note! Do not attempt to change the EMC level back to class C2. Even if the procedure

above is reversed, the frequency converter will no longer fulfil the EMC require­ments of class C2!

3.2.4 Cable and fuse specifications

Use cables with heat resistance of at least +70°C. The cables and the fuses must be
dimensioned according to the tables below. Installation of cables according to UL
regulations is presented in Chapter Cable installation and the UL standards.

The fuses function also as cable overload protection.
These instructions apply only to cases with one motor and one cable connection from
the frequency converter to the motor. In any other case, ask the factory for more in­formation.

3.2.5 General cabling rules

Before starting the installation, check that none of the components of the fre-

1

quency converter is live.

Place the motor cables sufficiently far from other cables:

• Avoid placing the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.

• If the motor cable runs in parallel with other cables, the minimum distance
between the motor cable and other cables is 0.3 m.

• The given distance also applies between the motor cables and signal cables

of other systems.

• The maximum length of the motor cables for MI1-3 is 30 m. If use longer
cable, current accuracy will be decreased.

• The motor cables should cross other cables at an angle of 90 degrees.

If cable insulation checks are needed, see Chapter Cable and motor insulation
checks.

Connecting the cables:

• Strip the motor and mains cables as advised in Figure Stripping of cables.

• Connect the mains, motor and control cables into their respective termi­nals, see Figures Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 - Install the control
cables.

• Note the tightening torques of chapter3.2.1 power cables and chapter 3.2.2
control cables given in Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 and Install the
control cables. MI1 - MI3. See Chapter6.2.

• For information on cable installation according to UL regulations see Chap­ter Cable installation and the UL standards.

• Make sure that the control cable wires do not come in contact with th e elec­tronic components of the unit.

• If an external brake resistor (option) is used, connect its cable to the appro­priate terminal.

• Check the connection of the earth cable to the motor and the frequency
converter terminals marked with.

• Connect the separate shield of the motor cable to the earth plate of the
frequency converter, motor and the supply centre.
