Torque specifications for control terminals and power terminals are listed in “General Wiring Information” on page 23.

3.5 Serial Number Label

To determine if your drive is within the warranty time frame, find the bar code label or look in the lower left of the technical nameplate. The serial number can be broken down as follows:

•yywwxxxx = yy ... year of manufacture

•ww ... week of manufacture

•xxxx....sequential number drive during that week.

3.6Conduit Usage

The Vacon 50X drive in the IP66 enclosure is rated for 70 bar washdown from 15 cm. 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 50X 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 rubbercoated 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. Connections

This chapter provides information on connecting power and control wiring to the Vacon 50X AC drive.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE

•Read and understand this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the Vacon 50X AC drive. Installation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance of these drives must be performed by qualified personnel.

•Disconnect all power before servicing the drive. WAIT 5 MINUTES until the DC bus capacitors discharge.

•DO NOT short across DC bus capacitors or touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present.

Danger

•Install all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the drive.

•The user is responsible for conforming to all applicable code require-ments with respect to grounding all equipment.

•Many parts in this drive, including printed circuit boards, operate at line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use only electri- cally-insulated tools.

Before servicing the drive:

•Disconnect all power.

•Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the drive disconnect.

•Lock the disconnect in the open position.

Failure to observe these precautions will cause shock or burn, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

4.1 General Wiring Information

Pay conscientious attention to ensuring that the installation wiring is installed in conformity with local standards. Where local codes exceed these requirements, they must be followed.

4.1.1 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.

•Good writing 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.

4.1.2Considerations 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 VDE, UL or CUL recognized wire.

2.Wire voltage rating must be a minimum of 300 V for 230 Vac systems and 600 V (Class 1 wire) for 400 Vac systems.

Tel. [phone] • Fax [phone]

4

connections

vacon 24

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 and 11 kW models, and the 460 V 22 kW 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 VDE, NEC and CEC. If multiple Vacon 50X drives are installed near each other, each must be connected to ground. A central earthing point should be used for interference suppression (e.g. equipotential bonding strip or centrally at an interference suppression filter). The earthing lines are routed to the respective terminals radially from this point. Conductor loops of the earthing lines are impermissible and can lead to unnecessary interference.

See Table 4 below for a summary of power terminal wiring specifications.

Table 4:Vacon 50X 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.

4.1.3 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 VDE, UL or CUL 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 Vac systems.

See Table 5 below for a summary of power terminal control wiring specifications.

4.2 Input Line Requirements

4.2.1 Line Voltage

See “Power and Current Ratings” on chapter 2.2 for the allowable fluctuation of AC line voltage for your particular Vacon 50X 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.

Exercise caution when applying the Vacon 50X AC drive on low-line conditions.

For example, an Vacon 50X 2-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.

4.2.2 Use of Isolation Transformers and Line Reactors

In nearly all cases, the Vacon 50X drive may be connected directly to a power source. However, in the following cases, a properly–sized isolation transformer or line reactor should be utilized to minimize the risk of drive malfunction or damage:

•When the line capacity exceeds the requirements of the drive (see Section 4.2.3).

•When power factor correction capacitors are used on the drive’s power source.

•When the power source experiences transient power interruptions or voltage spikes.

•When the power source supplying the drive also supplies large devices (such as DC drives) that contain controlled rectifiers.

Table 6:Transformer Sizing for the Vacon 50X Drive

4.2.3 Line Capacity

If the source of AC power to the Vacon 50X drive is greater than 10 times the kVA rating shown in Table 6, an isolation transformer or line reactor is recommended. Consult VACON for assistance in sizing the reactor.

NOTE: Vacon 50X 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.

4.2.4 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.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Never use power-factor correction capacitors on motor terminals T1/U, T2/ V, or T3/W of the Vacon 50X AC drive. Doing so will damage the semiconductors.

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

4.2.5 Single-phase Operation

Vacon 50X AC drive 230 Vac models are designed for both three-phase and singlephase 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 50X series of drives is 50% of the nominal current (hp) rating. Consult the factory with the particular application details for exact derating by model.

4.2.6 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

Vacon 50X drives rated for 230 Vac are not designed to operate with 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.

4.2.7 Motor Lead Length

The distance from the Vacon 50X drive to the motor should not exceed 300 meters. If the leads for motor connections exceed 30 meters, the motor windings may be subjected to voltage stresses two to three times nominal values unless an output filter is utilized. Consult with the motor manufacturer to ensure compatibility. Line disturbance and noise can be present in motor wiring of any distance. The carrier frequency for the drive should also be reduced using parameter 803 (PWM Frequency).

Nuisance trips can occur due to capacitive current flow to ground.

Some applications can have a restricted lead length because of type of wire, motor type, or wiring placement. Consult VACON and the motor manufacturer for additional information.

4.2.8 Using Output Contactors

Contactors in the output wiring of an AC drive may be needed as part of the approved safety circuit. Problems can arise if these contactors are opened for the safety circuit and the drive is left in run mode of operation. When the contactor is open, the drive is in a no-load, no-resistance state, but is still trying to supply current to the motor. However, when the contactor closes, the drive sees the motor resistance and instantly demands current. This inrush of current when the contactor closes can fault or cause failure to the drive.

To prevent problems, interlock an auxiliary contact to the drive's Run or Enable circuit to stop the drive when the contactor opens. In this way, the drive will be disabled and no inrush will occur when the contactor is closed again.
