1.3 Product Overview
A drive is an electronic motor controller that converts AC
mains input into a variable AC waveform output. The
frequency and voltage of the output are regulated to
control the motor speed or torque. The drive can vary the
speed of the motor in response to system feedback, such
as changing temperature or pressure for controlling fan,
compressor, or pump motors. The drive can also regulate
the motor by responding to remote commands from
external controllers.
In addition, the drive monitors the system and motor
status, issues warnings or alarms for fault conditions, starts
and stops the motor, optimizes energy efficiency, and
offers many more control, monitoring, and efficiency
functions. Operation and monitoring functions are
available as status indications to an outside control system
or serial communication network.

2.4.1 Requirements
WARNING
EQUIPMENT HAZARD!
Rotating shafts and electrical equipment can be hazardous.
All electrical work must conform to national and local
electrical codes. It is strongly recommended that installation, start up, and maintenance be performed only by
trained and qualified personnel. Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
WIRING ISOLATION!
Run input power, motor wiring and control wiring in three
separate metallic conduits or use separated shielded cable
for high frequency noise isolation. Failure to isolate power,
motor and control wiring could result in less than
optimum drive and associated equipment performance.
2
For your safety, comply with the following requirements.
Electronic controls equipment is connected to
•
hazardous mains voltage. Extreme care should be
taken to protect against electrical hazards when
applying power to the unit.
Run motor cables from multiple frequency
•
converters separately. Induced voltage from
output motor cables run together can charge
equipment capacitors even with the equipment
turned off and locked out.
Overload and Equipment Protection
An electronically activated function within the
•
drive provides overload protection for the motor.
The overload calculates the level of increase to
activate timing for the trip (controller output
stop) function. The higher the current draw, the
quicker the trip response. The overload provides
Class 20 motor protection. See 8 Warnings andAlarms for details on the trip function.
Because the motor wiring carries high frequency
•
current, it is important that wiring for mains,
motor power, and control are run separately. Use
metallic conduit or separated shielded wire.
Failure to isolate power, motor, and control
wiring could result in less than optimum
equipment performance. See Illustration 2.5.
Illustration 2.5 Proper Electrical Installation Using Conduit
All frequency converters must be provided with
•
short-circuit and over-current protection. Input
fusing is required to provide this protection, see
Illustration 2.6. See maximum fuse ratings in
10.3 Fuse Tables.
Illustration 2.6 Drive Fuses
Wire Type and Ratings
All wiring must comply with local and national
•
regulations regarding cross-section and ambient
temperature requirements.
GE recommends that all power connections be
•
made with a minimum 75° C rated copper wire.
See 10.1 Power-dependent Specifications for
•
recommended wire sizes.

2.4.2 Earth (Grounding) Requirements
WARNING
GROUNDING HAZARD!
For operator safety, it is important to ground drive
properly in accordance with national and local electrical
codes as well as instructions contained within these
instructions. Ground currents are higher than 3,5mA.
Failure to ground drive properly could result in death or
serious injury.
NOTE
It is the responsibility of the user or certified electrical
installer to ensure correct grounding (earthing) 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
Proper protective grounding for equipment with
•
ground currents higher than 3,5mA must be
established, see Leakage Current (>3,5mA)
A dedicatedground wire is required for input
•
power, motor power and control wiring
Use the clamps provided with on the equipment
•
for proper ground connections
Do not ground one drive to another in a “daisy
•
chain” fashion
Keep the ground wire connections as short as
•
possible
Use of high-strand wire to reduce electrical noise
•
is recommended
Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements
•
2.4.2.1 Leakage Current (>3,5mA)
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard)
requires special care if the leakage current exceeds 3,5mA.
Earth grounding must be reinforced in one of the
following ways:
Earth ground wire of at least 10mm
•
Two separate earth ground wires both complying
•
with the dimensioning rules
See EN 60364-5-54 § 543.7 for further information.
Using RCDs
Where residual current devices (RCDs), also known as earth
leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs), are used, comply with the
following:
Use RCDs of type B only which are capable of
detecting AC and DC currents
Use RCDs with an inrush delay to prevent faults
due to transient earth currents
Dimension RCDs according to the system configuration and environmental considerations
2
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
earthing of equipment with a leakage current > 3,5mA.
Drive technology implies high frequency switching at high
power. This will generate a leakage current in the earth
connection. A fault current in the drive at the output
power terminals might contain a DC component which can
charge the filter capacitors and cause a transient earth
current. The earth leakage current depends on various
system configurations including RFI filtering, screened
motor cables, and drive power.

2.4.2.2 Grounding Using Shielded Cable
Earthing (grounding) clamps are provided for motor wiring
(see Illustration 2.7).
Illustration 2.7 Grounding with Shielded Cable
2.4.2.3 Grounding Using Conduit
CAUTION
GROUNDING HAZARD!
Do not use conduit connected to the drive as a
replacement for proper grounding. Ground currents are
higher than 3.5mA. Improper grounding can result in
personal injury or electrical shorts.
Dedicated grounding clamps are provided (See
Illustration 2.8).
1.Use a wire stripper to remove the insulation for
proper grounding.
2.Secure the grounding clamp to the stripped
portion of the wire with the screws provided.
3.Secure the grounding wire to the grounding

WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
If input and output connections have been connected
improperly, there is potential for high voltage on these
terminals. If power leads for multiple motors are
improperly run in same conduit, there is potential for
leakage current to charge capacitors within the drive, even
when disconnected from mains input. For initial start up,
make no assumptions about power components. Follow
pre-start procedures. Failure to follow pre-start procedures
could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
1.Input power to the unit must be OFF and locked
out. Do not rely on the drive disconnect switches
for input power isolation.
2.Verify that there is no voltage on input terminals
L1 (91), L2 (92), and L3 (93), phase-to-phase and
phase-to-ground,
3.Verify that there is no voltage on output
terminals 96 (U), 97 (V), and 98 (W), phase-tophase and phase-to-ground.
4.Confirm continuity of the motor by measuring
ohm values on U-V (96-97), V-W (97-98), and W-U
(98-96).
5.Check for proper grounding of the drive as well
as the motor.
6.Inspect the drive for loose connections on
terminals.
7.Record the following motor-nameplate data:
power, voltage, frequency, full load current, and
nominal speed. These values are needed to
program motor nameplate data later.
