WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
earthing of equipment with a leakage current exceeding
3.5 mA. Frequency converter technology implies high
frequency switching at high power. This switching
generates a leakage current in the ground connection. A
fault current in the frequency converter at the output
power terminals can contain a DC component which can
charge the filter capacitors and cause a transient ground
current. The ground 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 because the leakage current
exceeds 3.5 mA. See EN60364-5-54 paragraph 543.7 for
further information.
Ensure correct grounding of the equipment by
•
a certified electrical installer.
Grounding must be reinforced in one of the
•
following ways:
-Ensure ground wire with cross-section
of at least 10 mm2, or
-Ensure 2 separate ground wires, both
complying with the dimensioning
rules.
WARNING
DC CURRENT RISK
This product can cause a DC current in the protective
conductor. Take the following precautions:
Where a residual current device (RCD) is used
•
for extra protection, use only an RCD of Type B
(time delayed) on the supply side of this
product.
Protective earthing of the frequency converter
•
and the use of RCDs must always follow
national and local regulations.
Failure to follow the precautions can lead to personal
injury or property damage.
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 the instructions in
this manual. Ground currents are higher than 3.5 mA.
Failure to ground the frequency converter properly could
result in death or serious injury.
It is the responsibility of the user or certified electrical
installer, to ensure correct grounding of the equipment
in accordance with national and local electrical codes
and standards.
Follow all local and national electrical codes to
•
ground electrical equipment properly.
Establish proper protective grounding for
•
equipment with current higher than 3.5 mA.
