How to Install

5.4.2 Power Connections

NOTICE
All cabling must comply with national and local
regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient
temperature. UL applications require 75 °C copper
conductors. Non-UL applications can use 75 °C and 90 °C
copper conductors.
The power cable connections are situated as shown in
Illustration 5.59. Dimensioning of cable cross section must
comply with the current ratings and local legislation. See
chapter 8.1 General Specifications for correct dimensioning
of motor cable cross-section and length.
For protection of the frequency converter, use the
recommended fuses unless the unit has built-in fuses.
Recommended fuses are listed in the Operating
Instructions. Ensure that proper fusing complies with local
regulations.
The mains connection is fitted to the mains switch if
included.

NOTICE
The motor cable must be screened/armoured. If an
unscreened/unarmoured cable is used, some EMC
requirements are not complied with. Use a screened/
armoured motor cable to comply with EMC emission
specifications. For more information, see Table 2.1.
Screening of cables
Avoid installation with twisted screen ends (pigtails). They
spoil the screening effect at higher frequencies. If it is
necessary to break the screen to install a motor isolator or
contactor, continue the screen at the lowest possible HF
impedance.
Connect the motor cable screen to both the de-coupling
plate of the frequency converter and the metal housing of
the motor.
Make the screen connections with the largest possible
surface area (cable clamp) by using the installation devices
within the frequency converter.

Cable-length and cross-section
The frequency converter has been EMC tested with a given
length of cable. Keep the motor cable as short as possible
to reduce the noise level and leakage currents.
Switching frequency
When frequency converters are used together with sine-
wave filters to reduce the acoustic noise from a motor, the
switching frequency must be set according to the
instructions in 14-01 Switching Frequency.

NOTICE
In motors without phase insulation, paper or other
insulation reinforcement suitable for operation with
voltage supply, fit a sine-wave filter on the output of the
frequency converter.
