VLT Micro Drive FC 51 Instruction Manual 1. Safety
1. Safety
1.1.1. High Voltage Warning
The voltage of the adjustable frequency drive is dangerous whenever it is connected to AC line power. Incorrect installation of the
motor or adjustable frequency drive may cause damage to the equipment, serious injury or death. Consequently, it is essential to
comply with the instructions in this manual as well as local and national rules and safety regulations.
1.1.2. Safety Instructions
• Make sure the adjustable frequency drive is properly grounded.
• Do not remove line power connections, motor connections or other power connections while the adjustable frequency drive is connected to line
power.
• Protect users against supply voltage.
• Protect the motor against overloading in accordance with national and local regulations.
• The ground leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
• The [OFF] key is not a safety switch. It does not disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from line power.
1.1.3. Approvals
1
1.1.4. General Warning
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from line power.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected (linkage of DC intermediate circuit).
Be aware that there may be high voltage on the DC link even when the LEDs are turned off.
Before touching any potentially live parts of the VLT Micro Drive, wait at least 4 minutes for all sizes.
A shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.
Leakage Current
The ground leakage current from the VLT Micro Drive FC 51 exceeds 3.5 mA. According to IEC 61800-5-1, a reinforced protective
ground connection must be ensured by means of a min. of 0.016 in² [10 mm²] Cu or an additional PE wire - with the same cable cross-
section as the line power wiring, which must be terminated separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause DC current in the protective conductor. If a residual current device (RCD) is used for extra protection, only an
RCD of Type B (time delayed) may be used on the supply side of this product. See also Danfoss Application Note on RCD, MN.90.GX.YY.
Protective grounding of the VLT Micro Drive and the use of RCDs must always follow national and local regulations.

As an option, Danfoss offers line filters for improved harmonics performance.
1.1.6. Avoid unintended Start.
While the adjustable frequency drive is connected to line power, the motor can be started/stopped using digital commands, bus commands, references
or via the Local Control Panel.
• Disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from line power whenever personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid unintended start
of any motors.
• To avoid an unintended start, always activate the [OFF] key before changing parameters.
1.1.7. Disposal Instructions
Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed of together with domestic waste.
It must be separately collected with electrical and electronic waste according to local and currently valid leg-
islation.
1.1.8. Before Commencing Repair Work
1. Disconnect the FC 51 from line power (and external DC supply, if present.)
2. Wait for 4 minutes for the DC link to discharge.
3. Disconnect the DC bus terminals and brake terminals (if present)
4. Remove motor cable.

3.1.2. Fuses
Branch circuit protection:
In order to protect the installation against electrical and fire hazards, all branch circuits in an installation, switch gear, machines, etc. must be short-
circuited and overcurrent protected according to national/international regulations.
Short circuit protection:
Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned in the following tables to protect service personnel or other equipment in case of an internal failure in
the unit or short-circuit on the DC link. The adjustable frequency drive provides full short-circuit protection in case of a short-circuit on the motor or brake
output.
3
Overcurrent protection:
Provide overload protection to avoid overheating of the cables in the installation. Overcurrent protection must always be carried out according to national
regulations. Fuses must be designed for protection in a circuit capable of supplying a maximum of 100,000 A
NonUL compliance:
If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned in table 1.3, which will ensure compliance with EN50178:
In case of malfunction, not following the fuse recommendation may result in damage to the adjustable frequency drive.

3.1.3. EMC-correct Installation

Good engineering pract ice to ensure EMC-correct electrical installation:
• Use only braided shielded/armored motor cables and control cables.
The shield should provide a minimum coverage of 80%. The shield material must be metal, not limited to but typically copper, aluminum, steel
or lead. There are no special requirements for the line cable.
• Installations using rigid metal conduits are not required to contain shielded cable, but the motor cable must be installed in a conduit separate
from the control and line cables. Full connection of the conduit from the drive to the motor is required. The EMC performance of flexible conduits
varies greatly, and information from the manufacturer must therefore be obtained.
• Connect the shield/armor/conduit to ground at both ends for motor cables and control cables.
• Avoid terminating the shield/armor with twisted ends (pigtails). This type of termination increases the high frequency impedance of the shield,
which reduces its effectiveness at high frequencies. Use low impedance cable clamps or glands instead.
• Ensure good electrical contact between the de-coupling plate and the metal chassis of the adjustable frequency drive; see Instruction MI.
02.BX.YY
• Avoid using unshielded/unarmored motor or control cables inside cabinets housing the drive(s), whenever possible.

All types of three-phased asynchronous standard motors can be connec-
ted to the adjustable frequency drive. Normally, small motors are star-
connected (230/400 V, Δ /Y). Large motors are delta-connected (400/690
V, Δ /Y). Refer to the motor nameplate for correct connection and voltage.
3.3: Star and delta connections.
Step 1: First, mount the ground cable.
Step 2: Connect wires to terminals either in star or delta-connection. See
the motor nameplate for further information.
