THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Warnings The components of the power unit of the inverter are live when the Vacon NX is connected to DC supply. Coming into contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from mains potential.
8 • vacon SAFETY Earthing and earth fault protection The Vacon NX inverter must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the earthing terminal. The earth fault protection inside the inverter only protects the inverter against earth faults in the motor or the motor cable.
(European Economic Area). It also guarantees that the product complies with applicable directives (for example, the EMC directive and other possible so-called new method directives). Vacon NX inverters carry the CE label as a proof of compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive.

TECHNICAL DATA Introduction The figure below presents the block diagram of the Vacon NX inverter. The inverter mechanically consists of two units, the Power Unit and the Control Unit. The Power Unit contains an inverter bridge which consists of IGBT switches and produces a symmetrical, 3-phase PWM-modulated AC voltage to the motor.

Instead of the control keypad, a PC can be used to control the inverter if connected through a similar cable (VACON RS232PC –1.5M). The basic control interface and the parameters (the Basic Application) are easy to use. If a more versatile interface or parameters are required, a more suitable application can be chosen from the "All in One+"...
