Electrical safety - general warning

The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this User Guide.
1.3 System design and safety of
personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into
complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may
present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored
electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause
injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system
design to avoid hazards either in normal operation or in the event of
equipment malfunction. System design, installation, commissioning/
start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have
the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety
information and this User Guide carefully.
The STOP and SAFE TORQUE OFF functions of the drive do not isolate
dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external
option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical
isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
With the sole exception of the SAFE TORQUE OFF function, none
of the drive functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel,
i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which
might result in a hazard, either through their intended behavior or
through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application where a
malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow
damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an
over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a
fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
The SAFE TORQUE OFF function has been approved by BGIA as
meeting the requirements of the following standards, for the prevention
of unexpected starting of the drive:
EN 61800-5-2:2007 SIL 3
EN ISO 13849-1:2006 PL e
EN 954-1:1997 Category 3
The SAFE TORQUE OFF function may be used in a safety-related
application. The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the
complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.

Environmental limits

Instructions in this User Guide regarding transport, storage, installation
and use of the drive must be complied with, including the specified
environmental limits. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical
force.
1.5

Access

Drive access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.6

Fire protection

The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire
enclosure must be provided. For further information, refer to section
3.2.5 Fire protection on page 28.
1.7

Compliance with regulations

The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
This User Guide contains instruction for achieving compliance with
specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used
must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC Safety of machinery.
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
1.8

Motor

Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed
operation. If it is intended to use the capability of the drive to run a motor
at speeds above its designed maximum, it is strongly recommended that
the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan
becomes less effective. The motor should be installed with a protection
thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in parameter 0.46 motor
rated current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
1.9

Mechanical brake control

The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated
operation of an external brake with the drive. While both hardware and
software are designed to high standards of quality and robustness, they
are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure
would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect
operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury,
independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be
incorporated.
1.10

Adjusting parameters

Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.
