Emc-Compliant Connection - Siemens SINAMICS G120 CU240B-2 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting
3.3 Installing the Power Module
Line supply connection
● Connect the line supply to terminals U1/L1, V1/L2 and W1/L3.
● Connect the protective conductor of the line supply to terminal PE of the inverter.
● If available, close the terminal covers of the inverter.
Note
Inverters without an integrated line filter can be connected to grounded (TN, TT) and non-
grounded (IT) line supply systems. The inverters with integrated line filter are suitable
only for connection to TN line supply systems.
The permissible cable cross sections for the individual devices and power ratings are
provided in Section Technical data (Page 261).
3.3.5

EMC-compliant connection

The inverters are designed for operation in industrial environments where high values of
electromagnetic interference are expected. Safe, reliable and disturbance-free operation is
only guaranteed if the devices are professionally installed.
Inverters with degree of protection IP20 must be installed and operated in an enclosed
control cabinet.

cabinet – e.g. inverter or line filter – must be connected to the control cabinet frame
through a good electrical connection through the largest possible surface area. The most
favorable design is to mount these devices and supplementary components on a bare
metal mounting plate with good conducting characteristics; this in turn is connected to the
control cabinet frame through a good electrical connection and the largest possible
surface area. It is especially important that they are connected to the PE and EMC shield
bars.
to painted or anodized metal components must either be established using special
contact (serrated) washers that cut through the insulating surface and therefore establish
a metallic conductor contact, or the insulating surface must be removed at the contact
locations.
with interference suppression elements in order to dampen high-frequency radiation
when switching-off (RC elements or varistors with AC coils and free-wheeling diodes or
varistors for DC coils). The protective circuit must be directly connected at the coil.
