4.5 Operating Environment
4.5.1 Operating Environment Overview
In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or corrosive gases, ensure that the IP/NEMA protection rating of the equipment
matches the installation environment. Refer to the Ambient Conditions section.
NO TI CE
CONDENSATION
Moisture can condense on the electronic components and cause short circuits.
Avoid installation in areas subject to frost.
-
Install an optional space heater when the drive is colder than the ambient air.
-
Operating in standby mode reduces the risk of condensation as long as the power dissipation keeps the circuitry free of
-
moisture.
NO TI CE
EXTREME AMBIENT CONDITIONS
Hot or cold temperatures compromise unit performance and longevity.
Do not operate in environments where the ambient temperature exceeds 55 °C (131 °F).
-
The drive can operate at temperatures down to -10 °C (14 °F). However, proper operation at rated load is only guaranteed at
-
0 °C (32 °F) or higher.
Provide extra air conditioning for the cabinet or installation site when the temperature exceeds ambient temperature limits.
Aggressive gases, such as hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, or ammonia can damage the electrical and mechanical components. The unit
uses conformal-coated circuit boards to reduce the effects of aggressive gases.
For conformal coating class specifications and ratings, see the Ambient Conditions section.
4.5.3 Dust within the Operating Environment
When installing the drive in dusty environments, keep the following free from dust buildup:
•Electronic components.
•Heat sink.
•Fans.
Periodic maintenance
When dust accumulates on electronic components, it acts as a layer of insulation. This layer reduces the cooling capacity of the
components, and the components become warmer. The hotter environment decreases the life of the electronic components. Dust can
also accumulate on fan blades, causing an imbalance which prevents the fan from properly cooling the unit. Dust buildup can also
damage fan bearings and cause premature fan failure.
For more information, refer to the Maintenance and Service section.
4.5.4 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

5.7.5 Option Card Terminals
The option cards extend the functionality of drives and provide a high variety of interfaces to automation systems. When the option
cards are specified in the type code, they are mounted in slots A, B, C, and D of the control card within the drive module. The option
card wiring is routed to a terminal block within the control compartment. For more details, refer to the installation/operating guide for
the respective option card.
NO TI CE
OPTION CARD INSTALLATION
If the option card is ordered along with the drive using the type code, the factory installs the option card and its wiring. If the
option is ordered separately, the customer is responsible for installing the option card and the wiring extensions to the control
compartment.
The auxiliary supply terminal option provides an external voltage supply to the –XD1.1 terminal. The external supply must be shortcircuit protected. The power of the external supply depends on other selected cabinet options.

The auxiliary voltage transformer is an option fitted internally that allows for the supply to be tapped from the mains. If the enclosed
drive is specified with a fused disconnect, the supply for the auxiliary voltage transformer is taken from between the drive and the
fused disconnect. This configuration allows the control voltage to be disconnected with the main switch.
The transformer has multiple tappings on the primary side for the standard range of voltages on which the drive operates. The factory
default wiring connects to the highest voltage tapping on the primary side, and the trip settings for the -FC4 terminal is set
accordingly. The customer can change the tapping provided the correct voltage is applied and the thermal magnetic circuit breaker is
set accordingly.

5.8 Connecting Motor, Mains, and Ground Cables
5.8.1 Power Cabling and Grounding Considerations
Motor and mains connections
•Size the wiring according to the input current of the drive. For maximum wire sizes, see the Electrical Data section.
•Comply with local and national electrical codes for cable sizes.
•Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
•Motor wiring knockouts or access panels are provided on the pedestal of IP21/IP54 (NEMA 1/NEMA 12) units.
•Do not wire a starting or pole-changing device (for example Dahlander motor or slip ring induction motor) between the drive and
the motor.
If the enclosed drive is not configured with an input filter or input power option, connect the mains to the drive module. Otherwise,
connect the mains to the input power option.
Procedure
1. Strip a section of the outer cable insulation.
2. Fasten a connector/cable lug to the end of the stripped cable.
3. Create an electrical connection between the cable shield and ground by securing the stripped wire under the cable clamp.
4. Connect the ground wire to the nearest grounding terminal in accordance with the grounding instructions provided in
Connecting to Ground.
5. Connect the 3-phase AC input power cables to terminals R (L1), S (L2), and T (L3).
6. When supplied from an isolated mains source (IT mains or floating delta) or TT/TN-S mains with a grounded leg (grounded delta),
ensure that parameter 14-50 RFI Filter is set to [0] Off to avoid damage to the DC link and to reduce ground capacity currents.
7. Tighten the terminals in accordance with the specifications shown in 10.11 Fastener Torque Ratings.
5.8.4 Connecting the Sine-wave Filter to the Motor
Procedure
1. Strip a section of the outer cable insulation.
2. Fasten a connector/cable lug to the end of the stripped cable.
3. Create an electrical connection between the cable shield and ground by securing the stripped wire under the cable clamp.
4. Connect the ground cable to the nearest grounding terminal in accordance with the grounding instructions provided in
Connecting to Ground.
5. Connect the 3-phase AC motor cable to the sine-wave terminals U, V, and W.
- If the enclosed drive has 1 sine-wave filter cabinet, run 1 set of motor cables to the cabinet.
- If the enclosed drive has 2 sine-wave filter cabinets, run 2 sets of motor cables, 1 set to each sine-wave filter cabinet.
NO TI CE
-Each sine-wave cabinet must have the same number of motor phase cables and they must be in quantities of 2 (for
example, 2, 4, 6, or 8). 1 cable is not allowed. The cables are required to be equal length.
6. Tighten the terminals in accordance with the specifications shown in 10.11 Fastener Torque Ratings.
Factory fuse options like a fusible disconnector or MCCB protect the busbars and circuits within the drive. To protect the cables, an
installer should use separate F1 fuses for upstream protection.
•Danfoss recommends the fuse type gG (IEC 60269-1) for the mains fuses. Use only fuses with a sufficient voltage rating according
to the mains voltage. Do not use larger fuses than what is recommended. These fuses are selected for short-circuit protection only.
•Operation time of the fuse must be less than 0.4 s. The operation time must also agree with the fuse type and the impedance of the
supply circuit.
•The recommended mains cable and fuse sizes are valid up to a cable length of 100 m, with mains having a short-circuit current of
20 kA. Recommended cable sizes are shown in the Electrical Data section.
•Danfoss recommends the use of FC1 fuses to meet short-circuit protection for any enclosed drives supplied with only the nonfusible disconnect, a non-fusible disconnect and contactor, or a contactor only option.

5.10 Enabling Motor Operation
Context:
If the status line at the bottom of the LCP reads AUTO REMOTE COAST, the unit is ready to operate but is missing an input signal from
terminal XD2.14 in the control compartment. Digital input terminal XD2.14 is designed to receive a 24 V DC external interlock
command that allows the drive to operate when using factory default programming values.
NO TI CE
FACTORY-INSTALLED OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Do not remove factory-installed wiring to terminal XD2.14. If the drive does not run, refer to the documentation for the
optional equipment that is wired into terminal XD2.14.
Procedure
1. When no interlock device is used, use a push-in type jumper (WAGO 2002-433) between terminal XD2.11 and XD2.14 in the control
compartment. This wire provides an internal 24 V signal on terminal XD2.14. The drive is ready for operation.
5.11 Selecting the Voltage/Current Input Signal
Context:
The analog input terminals XD2.7 and XD2.8 in the control compartment allow setting of input signal to voltage (0–10 V) or current
(0/4–20 mA).
•Terminal XD2.7: Speed reference signal in open loop (see parameter 16-61 Terminal 53 Switch Setting).
•Terminal XD2.8: Feedback signal in closed loop (see parameter 16-63 Terminal 54 Switch Setting).
Procedure
1. Disconnect power to the drive.
2. Remove the LCP (local control panel).
3. Remove any optional equipment covering the switches.

5.16 MCCB Configuration
The molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) offers the following trip settings:
•Protection against overload (L). The drive trips when there is an overload with inverse long-time delay trip according to the IEC
60947-2 Standard (I2t=k).
•Protection against short circuit with time delay (S). The drive trips when there is a short circuit, with long inverse time-delay trip
(I2t=k ON) or a constant trip time (I2t=k OFF).
•Instantaneous protection against short circuit (I). The drive trips immediately if there is a short circuit. The trip function (L) is
always available and either (S) or (I) can be selected by the DIP switch[S/I] on the trip unit of the MCCB.
Factory default settings are provided for functions L and I.
•Overcurrent setting (L) is done at 100% of the 1.5 times high overload FLA (I1).
•Time delay (t1) is selected as 12 s for 6 times of I1.
•Short circuit instant trip setting (I) is followed. Short circuit trip with time delay (S) is ignored with the factory settings.
•Short circuit instant trip setting (I) is targeted at 300% of the 100% normal overload FLA (I3) of the drive.
•Neutral setting (N) is 100%.
•Frequency of operation is set at 50 Hz from the factory.
The Safe Torque Off (STO) function is a component in a safety control system. STO prevents the unit from generating the voltage
required to rotate the motor. To run the STO function, more wiring for the drive is required. Refer to the VLT® FC Series - Safe Torque Off
•Confirm continuity of the motor by measuring ohm values on U–V (96–97), V–W (97–98), and W–U (98–96).
•Confirm that the supply voltage matches the voltage of the drive and the motor.
Switches
•Ensure that all switch and disconnect settings are in the proper positions.
Auxiliary equipment
•Look for auxiliary equipment, switches, disconnects, or input fuses/circuit breakers that reside on the input power side of the
drive or output side to the motor. Ensure that they are ready for full-speed operation.
•Check function and installation of any sensors used for feedback to the drive.
•Remove any power factor correction caps on motor.
•Adjust any power factor correction caps on the mains side and ensure that they are dampened.
Cable/wire routing
•Ensure that motor wiring, brake wiring (if equipped), and control wiring are separated or shielded or in 3 separate metallic
conduits for high-frequency interference isolation.
Control wiring
•Check for broken or damaged wires and loose connections.
•Check that control wiring is isolated from high-power wiring for noise immunity.
•Check the voltage source of the signals, if necessary.
•Use shielded or twisted pair cable.
•Ensure that the shield is terminated correctly.
Input and output power wiring
•Check for loose connections.
•Check that motor and mains are in separate conduit or separated shielded cables.
Grounding
•Make sure that a proper ground is used. Grounding to conduit or mounting the back panel to a metal surface is not a suitable
grounding.
•Check for good ground connections that are tight and free of oxidation.
Fuses and circuit breakers
•Check for proper fusing or circuit breakers.
•Check that all fuses are inserted firmly and are in operational condition.
•Check that all circuit breakers (if used) are in the open position.
Cooling clearance
•Look for any obstructions in the airflow path.
•Measure top and bottom clearance of the drive to verify that there is at least 225 mm (9 in) of clearance for adequate airflow.
