3.6 Conduit Usage

The Vacon 500x drive in the NEMA 4x / IP66 enclosure is rated for 1000 psi washdown from 6 inches. To keep this rating, the use of a sealed conduit is required. The use of a Romex-type conduit will not prevent water entry into the enclosure. If the approved conduit is not used, all warranty claims against water damage will be void.

3.7 Condensation

The washdown process of an Vacon 500x drive may create a temperature and humidity change in and around the drive. If the unit is mounted in a cool environment and washed down with higher-temperature water, as the drive cools to room temperature, condensation can form inside the drive, especially around the display. To prevent this from happening, avoid using sealed connectors around rubber-coated cables to seal the drive. These do not allow any air transfer and hence create a level of condensation and humidity that exceeds the drive’s rating.

4.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information on connecting power and control wiring to the Vacon 500X AC drive.

4.2 General Wiring Information

4.2.1 Wiring Practices

When making power and control connections, observe these precautions:

•Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W. Damage to the drive will result.

•Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other power wiring. Do not run in the same conduit; this separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits.

•Cross conduits at right angles whenever power and control wiring cross.

Tel. [phone] • Fax [phone]

connections

vacon z 28

•Good wiring practice also requires separation of control circuit wiring from all power wiring. Since power delivered from the drive contains high frequencies which may cause interference with other equipment, do not run control wires in the same conduit or raceway with power or motor wiring.

4.2.2Considerations for Power Wiring

Power wiring refers to the line and load connections made to terminals L1/R, L2/S, L3/T, and T1/U, T2/V, T3/W respectively. Select power wiring as follows:

1.Use only UL-recognized wire.

2.Wire voltage rating must be a minimum of 300 V for 230 Vac systems and 600 V (Class 1 wire) for 460 or 575 Vac systems.

3.Wire gauge must be selected based on 125% of the continuous input current rating of the drive. Wire gauge must be selected from wire tables for 75 °C insulation rating, and must be of copper construction. The 230 V 5.5 kW/7.5 HP and 11 kW/15 HP models, and the 460 V 22 kW/30 HP models require 90 °C wire to meet UL requirements. See Chapter 2 for the continuous output ratings for the drive.

4.Grounding must be in accordance with NEC and CEC. If multiple Vacon 500x drives are installed near each other, each must be connected to ground. Take care not to form a ground loop.

See Table 1 for a summary of power terminal wiring specifications.

	Table 1: Vacon 500x Power Terminal Wiring Specifications

Note: Wire type not specified by the manufacturer. Some types of wire may not fit within the constraints of the conduit entry and bend radius inside the drive.

4.2.3 Considerations for Control Wiring

Control wiring refers to the wires connected to the control terminal strip. Select control wiring as follows:

1.Shielded wire is recommended to prevent electrical noise interference from causing improper operation or nuisance tripping.

2.Use only UL recognized wire.

3.Wire voltage rating must be at least 300 V for 230 Vac systems. It must be at least 600 V for 460 systems.

See Table 2 below for a summary of power terminal control wiring specifications.

4.3 Input Line Requirements

4.3.1 Line Voltage

See “Power and Current Ratings” on page 14 for the allowable fluctuation of AC line voltage for your particular Vacon 500x model. A supply voltage above or below the limits given in the table will cause the drive to trip with either an overvoltage or undervoltage fault.

connections

Exercise caution when applying the Vacon 500x AC drive on low-line conditions.

For example, an Vacon 500x 2000 series unit will operate properly on a 208 Vac line, but the maximum output voltage will be limited to 208 Vac. If a motor rated for 230 Vac line voltage is controlled by this drive, higher motor currents and increased heating will result.

Therefore, ensure that the voltage rating of the motor matches the applied line voltage.

4.3.2 Line Capacity

If the source of AC power to the Vacon 500x AC drive is greater than 10 times the kVA rating shown in Table 3 below, an isolation transformer or line reactor is recommended. Consult the factory for assistance in sizing the reactor.

	Drive kW	4	5.5	7.5	11	15	18.5	18.5	30	37	45	55	75	90	110	132

	Transformer	9	13	18	23	28	36	42	57	70	90	112	150	180	220	250
	kVA
	Table 3: Vacon 500x Line Capacity (kVA)

Note: Vacon 500x AC drive devices are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 65,000 rms symmetrical amperes at 10% above the maximum rated voltage.

4.3.3 Phase Imbalance

Phase voltage imbalance of the input AC source can cause unbalanced currents and excessive heat in the drive’s input rectifier diodes and DC bus capacitors. Phase imbalance can also damage motors running directly across the line. The phase imbalance should not exceed 2% of the voltage rating; if it does, the drive should be derated as a single-phase drive.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Never use power-factor correction capacitors on motor terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W of the

Vacon 500x AC drive. Doing so will damage the semiconductors.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

CAUTION

RISQUE DE DOMMAGES MATÉRIELS

Ne raccordez jamais de condensateurs de correction du facteur de puissance aux bornes T1/ U, T2/V, ou T3/W du moteur du variateur de vitesse Vacon 500x. Car cela endommagera les semiconducteurs.

Si cette directive n’est pas respectée, cela peut entraîner des blessures corporelles ou des dommages matériels.

ATTENTION

4.3.4 Single-phase Operation

Vacon 500x AC drive 230 Vac, 4-kW/5-HP models are designed for both three-phase and single-phase input power. If one of these models is operated with single-phase power, use any two line input terminals. The output of the device will always be three-phase.

The safe derating of the Vacon 500x series of drives is 50% of the nominal current (kW/HP) rating. Consult the factory with the particular application details for exact derating by model.

4.3.5 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)

The GFCI breakers are designed for residential use to protect personnel from stray currents to ground. Most GFCI breakers will shut off at 5 mA of leakage. It is not uncommon for an AC drive to have 30 to 60 mA of leakage.
