GE AF-300 P11 User Manual page 9

Conformity to Low Voltage Directive in Europe
• The contact capacity of alarm output for any fault (30A, B, C) and relay signal output (Y5A, Y5C) is
0.5A at 48V DC, 0.3A ≤ 250 VAC
• The ground terminal (G) should be connected to ground. Use a crimp terminal to connect a cable to
the main circuit terminal or drive ground terminal.
• Where a residual-current protective device (RCD) is used for protection in case of direct or indirect
contact, only a type B device is allowed on the supply side of this electrical equipment. Otherwise,
another protective measure shall be applied such as separation of the electrical equipment from the
environment by double or reinforced insulation or isolation of the electrical equipment and supply
system by the transformer.
• Use a single cable to connect the (G) drive ground terminal. Do not use two or more drive ground
terminals.
• Use only a molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) or magnetic contactor (MC) that conform to EN or IEC
standards.
• Operate the drive under over-voltage Category III conditions and maintain Pollution Degree 2 or
better as specified in IEC664. To maintain Pollution Degree 2 or better, install the drive in a control
panel structure (level NEMA 3 or higher) which is free from water, oil, carbon, dust, etc.
• For the input-output wiring of the drive, use cable diameter and type as specified in Appendix C
in EN60204.
• To ensure safety, install an optional AC reactor, DC reactor, or external braking resistor as follows:
1) Install inside an IP4X cabinet or barrier if electrical parts are exposed.
2) Install inside an IP2X cabinet or barrier if electrical parts are not exposed.
• In case of external cooling system, cover the drive rear side in order not to touch the main capacitor
and braking resistor.
General Instructions
For clarity, some figures in this manual may show the drive with covers and safety screens removed for
explanation purposes. Do not operate the device until all such covers and screens have been replaced.
