Instruction Manual D2-3464

ATTENTION:Only qualified personnel familiar with the construction and operation of this

equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, and/or service this equipment.

!

Read and understand this instruction manual in its entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

ATTENTION:The CE filter connects between the incoming AC supply line and the drive input
terminals. The filter must be installed by qualified personnel familiar with the drive and associated
machinery. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury and/or equipment
damage.

ATTENTION:An incorrectly applied or installed CE filter can result in component damage or a
reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, such as incorrect wiring layout, incorrect
or inadequate AC supply or excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of the
system. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction of, equipment.

Product Description

CE filter options are designed to be used with the VSM500 Integrated Drive/Motor. The main function of the CE
filter is to reduce the radio frequency conducted emissions into the main supply lines and ground wiring. This
instruction manual provides the steps needed to install the filter.

Important: Declarations of Conformity (DOC) to the European Union Directives are available for Reliance

Electric AC drive products. Please contact the Rockwell AutoFax service at 216-646-7777 for
copies of the Declaration of Conformity .

Step 3. Connect the incoming AC supply line to the CE filter as shown in figure 2 and figure 3.
Important: The filter may cause ground leakage currents. Therefore, a solid ground connection must be

provided as shown in figure 2.

ATTENTION:RFI filters can only be used with AC supplies that are nominally balanced with
respect to ground. In some installations, three-phase supplies are occasionally connected in a

3-wire configuration with one phase grounded (Grounded Delta). The filter must not be used in
Grounded Delta supplies. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to, or
destruction of, the equipment.

ATTENTION:The National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.) and local codes outline
provisions for safely installing electrical equipment. Installation must comply with specifications
regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection, and disconnect devices. Failure
to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

The cable length from the filter to the drive/motor must be less than 3 meters (10 feet).
