1 Overview Issue 07/04

1.1 The MICROMASTER 420

The MICROMASTER 420s are a range of frequency inverters for controlling the
speed of three phase AC motors. The various models available range from the
120 W single-phase input to the 11 kW three-phase input.

The inverters are microprocessor-controlled and use state-of-the-art Insulated Gate
BipoIar Transistor (IGBT) technology. This makes them reliable and versatile. A
special pulse-width modulation method with selectable Pulse frequency permits
quiet motor operation. Comprehensive protective functions provide excellent
inverter and motor protection.

The MICROMASTER 420 with its default factory settings, is ideal for a large range
of simple motor control applications. The MICROMASTER 420 can also be used
for more advanced motor control applications via its comprehensive parameter
lists.

The MICROMASTER 420 can be used in both 'stand-alone' applications as well as
being integrated into 'Automation Systems'.

2.4.1 General

WARNING
The inverter must always be grounded. If the inverter is not grounded correctly,

extremely dangerous conditions may arise within the inverter, which could prove
potentially fatal.

Operation with ungrounded (IT) supplies

It is not permissible to connect MICROMASTER 4 drive converters equipped with
integrated filter to non-grounded line supplies.

If connected to non-grounded line supplies, the 'Y' capacitor must be disabled in
the device. The procedure is described in Attachment B.2.

The MICROMASTER operates on non-grounded line supplies and remains
operational if an input or output phase is connected to ground. In this particular
case, an output reactor must be installed.

Operation with Residual Current Device

If an RCD (also referred to as ELCB or RCCB) is fitted, the MICROMASTER
inverters will operate without nuisance tripping, provided that:

 A type B RCD is used.
 The trip limit of the RCD is 300mA.
 The neutral of the supply is grounded.
 Only one inverter is supplied from each RCD.
 The output cables are less than 50m (screened) or 100m (unscreened).

Operation with long cables

All inverters will operate at full specification with cable lengths up to 50 m screened
or 100 m unscreened.

When using output reactors as shown in Catalog DA 51.2, the following cable
lengths are possible for all of the types of construction/sizes:

 Shielded: 200 m
 Non-shielded: 300 m

2.4.2 Power and motor connections

WARNING
The inverter must always be grounded.

♦ Isolate the mains electrical supply before making or changing connections to

the unit.

♦ Ensure that the motor is configured for the correct supply voltage: single /

three-phase 230 V MICROMASTERS must not be connected to a 400 V
three-phase supply.

♦ When synchronous motors are connected or when coupling several motors in

parallel, the inverter must be operated with voltage/frequency control
characteristic (P1300 = 0, 2 or 3).

CAUTION

After connecting the power and motor cables to the proper terminals, make sure
that the covers have been replaced properly before supplying power to the unit!

NOTICE

♦ Ensure that the appropriate circuit-breakers/fuses with the specified current

rating are connected between the power supply and inverter (see chapter 5,
Tables starting on page 160).

♦ Use Class 1 60/75

o

C copper wire only (for UL compliance). For tightening

torque see Table 5-2, page 159.

Access to the power and motor terminals

You can gain access to the mains and motor terminals by removing the covers
(see also Appendices A and B).

The mains and motor connections must be made as shown in Fig. 2-6.
