Safety Note - Danfoss FC 300 Profibus Manual

FC 300 Profibus

Safety Note

The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous whenever connected to mains. Incorrect
installation of the motor, frequency converter or fieldbus may cause damage to the equipment,
serious personal injury or death. Consequently, the instructions in this manual, as well as national
and local rules and safety regulations, must be complied with.
Safety Regulations
1.
The frequency converter must be disconnected from mains if repair work is to be carried out. Check
that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before removing
motor and mains plugs.
2.
The [STOP/RESET] key on the control panel of the frequency converter does not disconnect the
equipment from mains and is thus not to be used as a safety switch. 3. Correct protective earthing of the
equipment must be established, the user must be protected against supply voltage, and the motor must
be protected against overload in accordance with applicable national and local regulations.
3.
Correct protective earthing of the equipment must be established, the user must be protected against
supply voltage, and the motor must be protected against overload in accordance with applicable national
and local regulations.
4.
The earth leakage currents are higher than 3.5 mA.
5.
Protection against motor overload is not included in the factory setting. If this function is desired, set par.
1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to data value ETR trip or data value ETR warning. Note: The function is
initialised at 1.16 x rated motor current and rated motor frequency. For the North American market: The
ETR functions provide class 20 motor overload protection in accordance with NEC.
6.
Do not remove the plugs for the motor and mains supply while the frequency converter is connected to
mains. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed
before removing motor and mains plugs.
7.
Please note that the frequency converter has more voltage inputs than L1, L2 and L3, when load sharing
(linking of DC intermediate circuit) and external 24 V DC have been installed. Check that all voltage
inputs have been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before commencing repair work.
Warning Against Unintended Start
1.
The motor can be brought to a stop by means of digital commands, bus commands, references or a local
stop, while the frequency converter is connected to mains. If personal safety considerations make it
necessary to ensure that no unintended start occurs, these stop functions are not sufficient.
2.
While parameters are being changed, the motor may start. Consequently, the stop key [STOP/RESET]
must always be activated; following which data can be modified.
3.
A motor that has been stopped may start if faults occur in the electronics of the frequency converter, or if
a temporary overload or a fault in the supply mains or the motor connection ceases.
Warning
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected
from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as external 24 V DC, load sharing
(linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as the motor connection for kinetic back up.
