High Voltage Warning

The voltage of the FC 300 is dangerous whenever the converter is connected to mains. In-
correct fitting of the motor or frequency converter may cause damage to the equipment,
serious injury or death. Consequently, it is essential to comply with the instructions in this
manual as well as local and national rules and safety regulations.

Safety Instructions

• Do not remove mains plugs or motor plugs while the FC 300 is connected to mains.
• Protect users against supply voltage.
• Protect the motor against overloading according to national and local regulations.
• Motor overload protection is not included in the default settings. To add this function, set pa-
rameter 1-90 Motor thermal protection to value ETR trip or ETR warning. For the North American
market: ETR functions provide class 20 motor overload protection, in accordance with NEC.
• The earth leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
• The [OFF] key is not a safety switch. It does not disconnect the FC 300 from mains.
