4.1 Safety Instructions
See 2 Safety for general safety instructions.
WARNING
INDUCED VOLTAGE
Induced voltage from output motor cables that run
together can charge equipment capacitors even with the
equipment turned off and locked out. Failure to run
output motor cables separately or use screened cables
could result in death or serious injury.
•
run output motor cables separately, or
•
use screened cables
CAUTION
SHOCK HAZARD
The frequency converter can cause a DC current in the
PE conductor. Failure to follow the recommendation
below means the RCD may not provide the intended
protection.
•
When a residual current-operated protective
device (RCD) is used for protection against
electrical shock, only an RCD of Type B is
permitted on the supply side.
Over-current Protection
•
Additional protective equipment such as short-
circuit protection or motor thermal protection
between frequency converter and motor is
required for applications with multiple motors.
•
Input fusing is required to provide short-circuit
and over-current protection. If not factory-
supplied, fuses must be provided by the installer.
See maximum fuse ratings in 8.8 Fuses and Circuit
Breakers.
Wire Type and Ratings
•
All wiring must comply with local and national
regulations regarding cross-section and ambient
temperature requirements.
•
Power connection wire recommendation:
minimum 75 °C rated copper wire.
See 8.1 Electrical Data and 8.5 Cable Specifications for
recommended wire sizes and types.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL EQUALISATION!
Risk of electrical interference, when the ground potential
between the frequency converter and the system is
different. Install equalising cables between the system
components. Recommended cable cross-section: 16 mm
MG20MA02 - Rev. 2013-10-29
Ensure correct grounding of the equipment by
a certified electrical installer.
Ground the frequency converter in accordance
with applicable standards and directives.
Use a dedicated ground wire for input power,
motor power and control wiring.
Do not ground one frequency converter to
another in a "daisy chain" fashion.
Keep the ground wire connections as short as
possible.
Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
Minimum cable cross-section: 10 mm
ground wires terminated separately).
Establish electrical contact between cable screen
and frequency converter enclosure by using
metal cable glands or by using the clamps
provided on the equipment (see Illustration 4.5
and Illustration 4.6).
Use high-strand wire to reduce electrical
interference.
Do not use pigtails.
