Environmental statement
Emerson Industrial Automation is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations and of its
products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is certified to the
International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is
available on request, or can be found at:
http://www.emersonindustrial.com/en-EN/controltechniques/aboutus/environment/Pages/environment.aspx
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Emerson Industrial Automation have the potential to save energy and (through
increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout their long working lifetime. In typical
applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded but should instead be
recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products easy to dismantle into their major component
parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured
with conventional fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller products come
in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled.
Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Emerson Industrial
Automations' packaging strategy prefers easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify
opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals (REACH) requires the supplier
of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified proportion of any substance which is considered by the European
Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for
compulsory authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Emerson Industrial Automations’ products, please
approach your usual contact in the first instance. Emerson Industrial Automations’ position statement can be viewed at:
as Emerson have an ongoing process of development and reserve the right to change the specification of their products without notice.

the product.
1.2 Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
1.3 System design and safety of personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into
complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may
present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored
electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause
injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system
design to avoid hazards either in normal operation or in the event of
equipment malfunction. System design, installation, set-up and
maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary
training and experience. They must read this safety information and this
guide carefully.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate
dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external
option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical
isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the
drive functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e.
they must not be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which
might result in a hazard, either through their intended behavior or
through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application where a
malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow
damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an
over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a
fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
The Safe Torque Off function has been approved by IFA as meeting the
requirements of the following standards, for the prevention of
unexpected starting of the drive:
EN 61800-5-2:2007 SIL 3
EN ISO 13849-1:2006 PL e
EN 954-1:1997 Category 3 (This standard is withdrawn and
should not be used for new designs, information provided for legacy
applications only).
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related
application. The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the
complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the drive
must be complied with, including the specified environmental limits.
Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.
1.5 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.6 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire
enclosure must be provided. For details regarding fire protection please
refer to section 3.2.5 Fire protection on page 15.
1.7 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used
must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery.
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
1.8 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in Pr 0.46 motor rated
current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
1.9 Mechanical brake control
The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated
operation of an external brake with the drive. While both hardware and
software are designed to high standards of quality and robustness, they
are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure
would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect
operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury,
independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be
incorporated.
1.10 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.
1.11 Electrical installation
1.11.1 Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric
shock and may be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•DC bus, dynamic brake cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and
must not be touched.
1.11.2 Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved
isolation device before any cover is removed from the drive or before
any servicing work is performed.
1.11.3 STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive,
the motor or any external option units.

1.11.4 Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been
energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before
work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under
certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail
to discharge, or be prevented from being discharged by a voltage
applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that
causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Emerson Industrial
Automation or their authorized distributor.
1.11.5 Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment
which is connected to the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC
supply terminals of the drive are connected to the internal capacitors
through rectifier diodes which are not intended to give safety isolation. If
the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected from
the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the drive
must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
1.11.6 Permanent magnet motors
Permanent magnet motors generate electrical power if they are rotated,
even when the supply to the drive is disconnected. If that happens then
the drive will become energized through its motor terminals.
If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the supply is
disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from the drive before
gaining access to any live parts.

The Digitax ST plus drive offers all the features available o the Digitax
ST Indexer drive with the addition of performing complex motion as a
single axis or synchronized to a reference axis. This offers digital lock
and electronic camming via a virtual master reference. The Digitax ST
Plus drive is commissioned using a simple and easy to use indexing tool
that resides within CT Soft, a set-up tool for Emerson Industrial
Automation products.
For more complex systems using the Digitax ST Indexer and Digitax ST
Plus drives, an export feature is available that allows the user to import
applications into SYPTPro for further development.
The Digitax ST EZMotion drive is part of the Motion Made Easy family of
servo drives and allows the user to create programs to sequence
motion, I/O control, and other machine operations in one environment.
Digitax ST EZMotion also supports advanced functions such as a
Position Capture Object, Multiple Profile Summation, Queuing, and
Program Multitasking.
The Digitax ST EtherCAT drive offers onboard EtherCAT allowing the
product to be connected to an EtherCAT network as a slave device. It
can be used in a variety of applications, including those requiring
accurate synchronization and precise motion control.

2.2 Drive ratings
The drive rating is limited by numerous systems which protect the power
stage hardware. (Rectifier, DC bus, inverter)
These systems come into operation under various extremes of operating
conditions. (I.e. ambient, supply imbalance, output power.)
*The maximum rating information, in Table 2-1 above, for the 200 V
single phase supply, illustrates a 200 % overload capability. When the
Digitax ST 120x is used with a single phase supply it is possible to
achieve the three phase nominal current rating as long as the single
phase peak current rating is observed.
The rating information shown in section 2.3 Drive model numbers on
page 9 is based on the limitations of the drive output stage only.
The ratings are based on the following operating conditions:
•Ambient temperature = 40 °C
•Altitude = 1000 m
•Not exceeding power ratings
•DC bus voltage = 565 V for DST140X
•DC bus voltage = 325 V for DST120X
The sizing tool should be used to select a drive for a profile or condition
that is not given as an example in section 13.1.2 Typical pulse duty on
page 173.

of this chapter include:
•Through-hole mounting
•IP54 as standard or through-panel mounting
•Enclosure sizing and layout
•Solutions Module installing
•Terminal location and torque settings
3.1 Safety information
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must
be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be referred to
the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the
owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and
any external option unit, and the way in which they are
operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or
applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice in
the country in which the equipment is used.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a
potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been
disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC
supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work
may continue. Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an
internal resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is
possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be
prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied to the
output terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that
causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the
capacitors will not be discharged. In this case, consult
Emerson Industrial Automation or their authorized
distributor.

•corrosive gasses
During installation it is recommended that the vents on the drive are
covered to prevent debris (e.g. wire off-cuts) from entering the drive.
3.2.3 Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified
operating temperature being exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure
gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one, and may
need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
3.2.4 Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions.
Electrical installation instructions are given in Chapter 4 Electrical installation on page 21.
3.2.5 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire
enclosure must be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1,
standard for PV inverters) is recommended.
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet
requirements which can be summarized for larger enclosures as using
materials meeting at least UL 94 class 5VB at the point of minimum
thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure
3-1. Any part of the side which is within the area traced out by the 5°
angle is also considered to be part of the bottom of the fire enclosure.
Figure 3-1 Fire enclosure bottom layout
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who
are familiar with the requirements for safety and EMC. The
assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end product or
system complies with all the relevant laws in the country
where it is to be used.
Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which
prevents access except by trained and authorized
personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination.
It is designed for use in an environment classified as
pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 60664-1. This
means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is
acceptable.
3.2 Planning the installation
The following considerations must be made when planning the installation:
3.2.1 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
3.2.2 Environmental protection
The drive must be protected from:
•moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and
condensation. An anti-condensation heater may be required, which
must be switched off when the drive is running.
•contamination with electrically conductive material
•contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or
impair airflow over various components
•temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the
bottom, must be designed to prevent escape of burning material - either
by having no openings or by having a baffle construction. This means
that openings for cables etc. must be sealed with materials meeting the
5VB requirement, or else have a baffle above. See Figure 3-2 for
acceptable baffle construction. This does not apply for mounting in an
enclosed electrical operating area (restricted access) with concrete floor.

3.2.6 Electromagnetic compatibility
Variable speed drives are powerful electronic circuits which can cause
electromagnetic interference if not installed correctly with careful
attention to the layout of the wiring.
Some simple routine precautions can prevent disturbance to typical
industrial control equipment.
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that
electromagnetically sensitive equipment is located nearby, then full
precautions must be observed. In-built into the drive, is an internal EMC
filter, which reduces emissions under certain conditions. If these
conditions are exceeded, then the use of an external EMC filter may be
required at the drive inputs, which must be located very close to the
drives. Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made
for carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in
section 4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 28.
3.2.7 Hazardous areas
The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is
installed in an approved enclosure and the installation is certified.

4 Electrical installation
Many cable management features have been incorporated into the
product and accessories, this chapter shows how to optimize them. Key
features include:
•Safe Torque Off function
•Internal EMC filter
•EMC compliance with shielding / grounding accessories
•Product rating, fusing and cabling information
•Brake resistor details (selection / ratings)
Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause
severe electric shock and may be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•DC and brake cables, and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single
insulated and must not be touched.
Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using
an approved isolation device before any cover is removed
from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.

STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages
from the drive, the motor or any external option units.
Safe Torque Off function
The Safe Torque Off function does not remove dangerous
voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option
units.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a
potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been
disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC
supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work
may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal
resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible
that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output
terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that causes the
display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Emerson
Industrial Automation or their authorized distributor.
Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in
equipment which is connected to the AC supply by a plug
and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are
connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes
which are not intended to give safety isolation. If the plug
terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected
from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug
from the drive must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
Permanent magnet motors
Permanent magnet motors generate electrical power if they
are rotated, even when the supply to the drive is
disconnected. If that happens then the drive will become
energized through its motor terminals.
If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the
supply is disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from
the drive before gaining access to any live parts.

4.2 Ground connections
Electrochemical corrosion of grounding terminals
Ensure that grounding terminals are protected against
corrosion i.e. as could be caused by condensation.
The drive must be connected to the system ground of the AC supply. The
ground wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of practice.
The supply and motor ground connections are made using the M6
threaded hole in the metal back plate of the drive located at the top and
bottom of the drive. See Figure 4-2 for details.
The ground loop impedance must conform to the
requirements of local safety regulations.
The drive must be grounded by a connection capable of
carrying the prospective fault current until the protective
device (fuse, etc.) disconnects the AC supply.
The ground connections must be inspected and tested at
appropriate intervals.

DST140X380 V to 480 V ±10 % three phase*48 Hz to 65 Hz
*Maximum supply in-balance: 2 % negative phase sequence (equivalent
to 3 % voltage in-balance between phases).
For UL compliance only, the maximum supply symmetrical fault current
must be limited to 100 kA.
4.3.1 Supply types
All drives are suitable for use on any supply type i.e TN-S, TN-C-S, TT
and IT.
•Supplies with voltage up to 600 V may have grounding at any
potential, i.e. neutral, centre or corner (“grounded delta”)
•Supplies with voltage above 600 V may not have corner grounding
Drives are suitable for use on supplies of installation category III and
lower, according to IEC60664-1. This means they may be connected
permanently to the supply at its origin in a building, but for outdoor
installation additional over-voltage suppression (transient voltage surge
suppression) must be provided to reduce category IV to category III.
Frequency
range
Operation with IT (ungrounded) supplies:
Special attention is required when using internal or external
EMC filters with ungrounded supplies, because in the event
of a ground (earth) fault in the motor circuit the drive may not
trip and the filter could be over-stressed. In this case, either
the filter must not be used (removed) or additional
independent motor ground fault protection must be provided.
Refer to Table 4-2.
For instructions on removal, refer to Figure 4-4 Removing
the internal EMC filter and line to ground varistors on
page 28.For details of ground fault protection contact the
supplier of the drive.
A ground fault in the supply has no effect in any case. If the motor must
continue to run with a ground fault in its own circuit then an input
isolating transformer must be provided and if an EMC filter is required it
must be located in the primary circuit.
Unusual hazards can occur on ungrounded supplies with more than one
source, for example on ships. Contact the supplier of the drive for more
information.
Table 4-2 Behavior of the drive in the event of a motor circuit
Input line reactors reduce the risk of damage to the drive resulting from
poor phase balance or severe disturbances on the supply network.
Where line reactors are to be used, reactance values of approximately 2
% are recommended. Higher values may be used if necessary, but may
result in a loss of drive output (reduced torque at high speed) because of
the voltage drop.
For all drive ratings, 2 % line reactors permit drives to be used with a
supply imbalance of up to 3.5 % negative phase sequence (equivalent to
5 % voltage imbalance between phases).
Severe disturbances may be caused by the following factors, for
example:
•Power factor correction equipment connected close to the drive
•Large DC drives having no or inadequate line reactors connected to
the supply
•Direct-on-line started motor(s) connected to the supply such that
when any of these motors are started, the voltage dip exceeds 20 %
Such disturbances may cause excessive peak currents to flow in the
input power circuit of the drive. This may cause nuisance tripping, or in
extreme cases, failure of the drive.
Drives of low power rating may also be susceptible to disturbance when
connected to supplies with a high rated capacity.
When required, each drive must have its own reactor(s). Three individual
reactors or a single three-phase reactor should be used.
Reactor current ratings
Continuous current:
Not less than the continuous input current rating of the drive.
Repetitive peak current:
Not less than three times the continuous input current rating of the drive.
4.3.3 Input inductor calculation
To calculate the inductance required (at Y%), use the following equation:
Where:
I = drive rated input current (A)
L = inductance (H)
f = supply frequency (Hz)
V = voltage between lines

4.4 DC bus design
4.4.1 DC bus design
Parallel connections
The power limit of the rectifier must be adhered to for all combinations of
drives in parallel. In addition to this If the total rated bus power required
exceeds the capability of 1 x Digitax ST rectifier then two or more Digitax
ST's can be connected with the AC & DC in parallel. If the AC supply is
connected to more than one drive in a parallel DC bus application,
balancing of the current in the input stage of each drive must be
considered.
Using DC bus chokes makes the current in the rectifier diodes of each
drive the same, so providing a solution to sharing.
There are many possible combinations for paralleling drives through the
DC bus connections. Table 4-3 gives details of the internal capacitance
for each drive and the additional capacitance which can be powered
from the drive. The capacitance must incorporate its own soft-start
circuit. All Digitax ST drives incorporate this feature.
For additional details regarding DC bus paralleling please contact the
supplier of the drive.

4.5 DC drive voltage levels
4.5.1 Low voltage DC operation
The drive can be operated from low voltage DC supplies, nominally 24
Vdc (control) and 48 Vdc (power). The low voltage DC power operating
mode is designed either, to allow for motor operation in an emergency
back-up situation following failure of the AC supply, for example in
robotic arm applications; or to limit the speed of a servo motor during
set-up of equipment, for example a robot cell.
With low voltage DC operation there is a reduction in the
level of safety of the Safe Torque Off function. There
exist certain unlikely faults which might permit the drive to
produce some limited motor torque, if the DC supply has its
negative terminal connected to ground.
See section 4.17 Safe Torque Off on page 42 for methods
on preventing a loss of the safety function under these
conditions.
The working voltage range of the low voltage DC power supply is shown
in Table 4-4.

* These are the absolute minimum DC voltages that the drive is capable
of operating from. If the drive is not supplied with the minimum voltage, it
will not reset following a UV trip at power-up.
4.5.3 Control 24 Vdc supply
The 24 Vdc input has three main functions:
•It can be used as a back-up power supply to keep the control circuits
of the drive powered up when the line power supply is removed. This
allows any fieldbus modules or serial communications to continue to
operate.
•It can be used to supplement the drive’s own internal 24 V when
multiple SM-I/O Plus modules are being used and the current drawn
by these modules is greater than the drive can supply. (If too much
current is drawn from the drive, the drive will initiate a 'PS.24V' trip)
•It can be used to commission the drive when line power supply
voltages are not available, as the display operates correctly.
However, the drive will be in the UV trip state unless either line
power supply is reapplied or low voltage DC operation is enabled,
therefore diagnostics may not be possible. (Power down save
parameters are not saved when using the 24 V back-up power
supply input.)

4.6 Ratings
Fuses
The AC supply to the drive must be installed with suitable protection against overload and short-circuits. The following section shows
recommended fuse ratings. Failure to observe this requirement will cause risk of fire.
B1 - Separate cables in conduit.
B2 - Multicore cable in conduit
C - Multicore cable in free air.
Cable sizes are from IEC60364-5-52:2001 table A.52.C with correction
factor for 40°C ambient of 0.87 (from table A52.14) for cable installation
method B2 (multicore cable in conduit).
Cable size may be reduced if a different installation method is used, or if
the ambient temperature is lower.
The recommended cable sizes above are only a guide. The mounting
and grouping of cables affects their current-carrying capacity, in some
cases smaller cables may be acceptable but in other cases a larger
cable is required to avoid excessive temperature or voltage drop. Refer
to local wiring regulations for the correct size of cables.
N
The recommended output cable sizes assume that the motor maximum
current matches that of the drive. Where a motor of reduced rating is
used the cable rating may be chosen to match that of the motor. To
ensure that the motor and cable are protected against overload, the
drive must be programmed with the correct motor rated current.
N
UL listing is dependent on the use of the correct type of UL-listed fuse,
and applies when symmetrical short-circuit current does not exceed
100kA. See Chapter 15 UL listing information on page 204 for sizing
information.
An MCB (miniature circuit breaker) may be used in place of fuses under
the following conditions:
•The fault-clearing capacity must be sufficient for the installation
•The I2T rating of the MCB must be less than or equal to that of the fuse
rating listed above.
A fuse or other protection must be included in all live connections to the
AC supply.
For a parallel DC bus system the maximum AC input fusing is shown in
Table 4-8 below.

Refer to the supplier of your drive for further information regarding DC
bus paralleling.
4.7 Output circuit and motor protection
The output circuit has fast-acting electronic short-circuit protection which
limits the fault current to typically no more than five times the rated
output current, and interrupts the current in approximately 20 µs. No
additional short-circuit protection devices are required.
The drive provides overload protection for the motor and its cable. For
this to be effective, Pr 0.46Motor rated current must be set to suit the
motor.
Pr 0.46Motor rated current must be set correctly to avoid a
risk of fire in the event of motor overload.
There is also provision for the use of a motor thermistor to prevent overheating of the motor, e.g. due to loss of cooling.
4.7.1 Motor cable size and maximum lengths
Since capacitance in the motor cable causes loading on the output of the
drive, ensure the cable length does not exceed the values given in Table
4-9.
Use 105 °C (221 °F) (UL 60/75 °C temp rise) PVC-insulated cable with
copper conductors having a suitable voltage rating, for the following
power connections:

When operating in ambient >45 °C UL 75 °C cable should be used.
Cable sizes are given for guidance only and may be changed depending
on the application and the method of installation of the cables.
The mounting and grouping of cables affect their current capacity, in
some cases a larger cable is required to avoid excessive temperature or
voltage drop.
Input cable sizes should generally be regarded as a minimum, since
they have been selected for co-ordination with the recommended fuses.
Output cable sizes assume that the maximum motor current matches
that of the drive.
Where a motor of reduced rating is used the cable rating may be chosen
to match that of the motor.
To ensure that the motor and cable are protected against overload, the
drive must be programmed with the correct motor rated current.
•Cable lengths in excess of the specified values may be used only
when special techniques are adopted; refer to the supplier of the
drive.
•The default switching frequency is 6 kHz.
The drive power terminals are designed for a maximum cable size of 4.0
2
mm
(minimum 0.2 mm / 24 AWG).
Where more than one cable per terminal is used the combined
diameters should not exceed the maximum.
The terminals are suitable for both solid and stranded wires.

High-capacitance cables
The maximum cable length is reduced from that shown in Table 4-9 if
high capacitance motor cables are used.
Most cables have an insulating jacket between the cores and the armor
or shield; these cables have a low capacitance and are recommended.
Cables that do not have an insulating jacket tend to have high
capacitance; if a cable of this type is used, the maximum cable length is
half that quoted in the tables. (Figure 4-3 shows how to identify the two
types).
Figure 4-3 Cable construction influencing the capacitance
4.7.2 Motor winding voltage
The PWM output voltage can adversely affect the inter-turn insulation in
the motor. This is because of the high rate of change of voltage, in
conjunction with the impedance of the motor cable and the distributed
nature of the motor winding.
For normal operation with AC supplies up to 500 Vac and a standard
motor with a good quality insulation system, there is no need for any
special precautions. In case of doubt the motor supplier should be
consulted.
Special precautions are recommended under the following conditions,
but only if the motor cable length exceeds 10 m:
•AC supply voltage exceeds 500 V
•DC supply voltage exceeds 670 V
•Operation of 400 V drive with continuous or very frequent sustained
braking
For the other cases listed, it is recommended that an inverter-rated
motor be used. This has a reinforced insulation system intended by the
manufacturer for repetitive fast-rising pulsed voltage operation.
If it is not practical to use an inverter-rated motor, an output choke
(inductor) should be used. The recommended type is a simple iron-cored
component with a reactance of about 2 %. The exact value is not critical.
This operates in conjunction with the capacitance of the motor cable to
increase the rise-time of the motor terminal voltage and prevent
excessive electrical stress.
4.7.3 Output contactor
If the cable between the drive and the motor is to be
interrupted by a contactor or circuit breaker, ensure that the
drive is disabled before the contactor or circuit breaker is
opened or closed. Severe arcing may occur if this circuit is
interrupted with the motor running at high current and low
speed.
A contactor is sometimes required to be installed between the drive and
motor for safety purposes.
The recommended motor contactor is the AC3 type.
Switching of an output contactor should only occur when the output of
the drive is disabled.
Opening or closing of the contactor with the drive enabled will lead to:
1. OI.AC trips (which cannot be reset for 10 seconds)
2. High levels of radio frequency noise emission
3. Increased contactor wear and tear
The Drive Enable terminal (T31) when opened provides a Safe Torque
Off function. This can in many cases replace output contactors.
For further information see section 4.17 Safe Torque Off on page 42.
4.8 Braking
The internal braking resistor can be used with the drive even though its
resistance is lower than the minimum resistance values given in
Table 4-11, because of the following reasons.
•The braking resistor overload protection function in the drive is set
up to limit the power dissipated in the resistor.
•The braking resistor is installed with a thermistor which will trip the
drive if the resistor is too hot.
•The power rating of the resistor is only 50 W
The internal braking resistor for Digitax ST is installed with a
thermistor which must be connected to the drive whenever
the internal braking resistor in installed.
If an external resistor is used with the drive, its resistance must be equal
to or greater than the value given in Table 4-11.
The cable used for Table 4-9 is shielded and contains four cores. Typical
capacitance for this type of cable is 130 pF/m (i.e. from one core to all
others and the shield connected together).

Braking resistor overload protection parameter settings
Failure to observe the following information may
damage the resistor.
The drive’s software contains an overload protection
function for a braking resistor. On Digitax ST this function is
enabled at default to protect the internally mounted resistor.
Below are the parameter settings.
For more information on the braking resistor software
overload protection, see Pr 10.30 and Pr 10.31 full
descriptions in the Advanced User Guide.
If the internally mounted braking resistor is to be used at
more than half of its average power rating then the drive's
cooling fan must be at full speed, controlled by setting
Pr 6.45 to On (1).
4.8.1 External braking resistor
Overload protection
When an external braking resistor is used, it is essential that
an overload protection device is incorporated in the braking
resistor circuit.
When a braking resistor is to be mounted outside the enclosure, ensure
that it is mounted in a ventilated metal housing that will perform the
following functions:
•Prevent inadvertent contact with the resistor
•Allow adequate ventilation for the resistor
When compliance with EMC emission standards is required, external
connection requires the cable to be armored or shielded, since it is not
fully contained in a metal enclosure. See section 4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 28 for further details.
Internal connection does not require the cable to be armored or
shielded.
The ground leakage current depends upon whether the internal EMC
filter is installed. The drive is supplied with the filter installed. Instructions
for removing the internal filter are given in Figure 4-4.
With the internal EMC filter installed the ground leakage current is as
follows:
Table 4-12 Ground leakage current with internal EMC filter installed
3 phase Star
Model
ground
DST120X at 220 V4103
DST140X at 400 V1240
The above leakage current is just the leakage current of the drive with the
internal EMC filter connected and does not take into account any leakage
currents of the motor or motor cable.
With internal EMC filter removed the ground leakage current = <1 mA.
In both cases, there is an internal voltage surge suppression device
connected to ground. Under normal circumstances, this carries
negligible current.
When the internal EMC filter is installed, the leakage current
is high. In this case, a permanent fixed ground connection
must be provided with a cross sectional area equal to 10mm
4.9.1 Use of residual current device (RCD)
There are three common types of ELCB / RCD:
1. AC - detects AC fault currents
2. A - detects AC and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC
current reaches zero at least once every half cycle)
3. B - detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC fault currents
•Type AC should never be used with drives
•Type A can only be used with single phase drives
•Type B must be used with three phase drives

Digitax ST User Guide 27

Only type B ELCB / RCD are suitable for use with 3 phase
inverter drives.
If an external EMC filter is used, a delay of at least 50ms should be
incorporated to ensure spurious trips are not seen. The leakage current
is likely to exceed the trip level if all of the phases are not energized
simultaneously.

4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
4.10.1 Internal EMC filter
It is recommended that the internal EMC filter is kept in place unless
there is a specific reason for removing it.
Special attention is required when using a DST120X model on an
ungrounded supply (IT supply). In the event of a ground fault in the
motor circuit the drive may not trip and the filter could be overstressed.
In this case, either the filter must be removed or additional independent
motor ground fault protection must be provided.
The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emissions into the line
power supply. Where the motor cable is short, it permits the
requirements of EN 61800-3:2004 to be met for the second environment.
For longer motor cables, the filter continues to provide a useful reduction
in emission level, and when used with any length of shielded cable up to
the limit for the drive, it is unlikely that nearby industrial equipment will be
disturbed. It is recommended that the filter be used in all applications
unless the ground leakage current is unacceptable or the above
conditions are true.
The supply must be disconnected before removing the
internal EMC filter or line to ground varistor screws.

2. Line to ground varistors. Remove the top screw as shown.
The line to ground varistors should only be removed in special
circumstances.
4.10.2 Further EMC precautions
Further EMC precautions are required if more stringent EMC emission
requirements apply:
•Operation in the first environment of EN 61800-3:2004
•Conformity to the generic emission standards
•Equipment which is sensitive to electrical interference operating
nearby
In this case it is necessary to use:
•The optional external EMC filter
•A shielded motor cable, with shield clamped to the grounded metal
panel
•A shielded control cable, with shield clamped to the grounded metal
panel via the grounding bracket.
It is not necessary to remove the external EMC filter when using an IT
supply.
