POWER ELECTRONICS SD500 CAUTION Do not load the drives if you suffer from back problems, it could cause damage to the equipment and lead to injury to people. To unpack, open the top part of the box and pull it up to release it.
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS MECHANICAL INSTALLATION CAUTION The installation must be done by trained personnel. Otherwise, the equipment can be damaged and/or lead to injury to people. Do not install the drive on a flammable surface during operation. Environmental Ratings It is recommended to follow the instructions of this manual to ensure the correct operation of the drive.
The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the drive. Power Electronics recommends hanging the SD500 cabinet on a solid wall or structure through the anchorages placed on the rear part of the drive, which supports the VFD’s weight and the possible forces generated by the wiring.
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS Clearances The drive should be mounted vertically. Leave enough space (vertically and horizontally) between adjacent drives. DRIVES’ POWER DISTANCE <30kW ≥30kW 100mm 500mm 50mm 200mm Cooling The heat sources inside the equipment correspond with the inverter bridge (IGBTs), rectifier bridge and the input filter.

POWER ELECTRONICS SD500 The installer must ensure that the air flows inside the technical room or cabinet, taking into account that hot air cannot be inspired again by the drive. Frame 1 SD500 drives integrate a cooling fan in their bottom part. To replace this fan, push the brackets on the bottom in the direction of the arrow, pull it forward and detach the connector.
Page 24
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS Frame 3 and 4 drives integrate a cooling fan in their bottom part.

SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS POWER CONNECTION Basic Configuration To install the drive, the additional tools described below may be required. To ensure proper operation of the drive, the supplementary devices must be properly selected and used accordingly. An improper installation or misapplication of the drive can result in a system malfunction, a reduction of the equipment’s life or damage to the equipment’s components.
For more information, see section 6.5. The SD500 Series rectifier bridge is built in diodes for frames 1 to 4 and in thyristor diodes for frames 5 and 6. In addition, the drives include as standard a harmonic filter that reduces harmonics and improves the power factor by using a DC reactance integrated in the DC bus.

POWER ELECTRONICS SD500 EMC Installation Requirements Introduction The European EMC Directive defines electromagnetic compatibility as follows: the capability of an apparatus, an industrial plant, or a system to work satisfactorily in the electromagnetic environment without at the same time causing electromagnetic disturbance, which would be unacceptable to apparatus, industrial plant, or systems present in this environment.
Page 34
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS precedence over all generic or previously applicable product family EMC standards. The PDS in the context of this standard comprises the drive converter, the motor cables and the motor. Therefore, the installer as the ultimate responsible must follow the installation instructions given within this manual.
Frames 5 and 6 with filter are always classified as type C3. If another type of classification is required, optional external filters may be used. For additional information, ask Power Electronics. SD500 is not a retail unit, which is neither a plug in device nor a movable device, therefore it must be installed and commissioned by qualified personnel.
Page 36
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS Deactivation of the EMC filter: As a security measure, check the voltage with a tester 10 minutes after disconnecting the power supply. Remove the connector withdrawing it while holding down the tab. In order to reinstall the connector, make sure that you reinsert the connector with the bridge between the two pins.
POWER ELECTRONICS SD500 Activation of the EMC filter In order to activate the EMC filter, the cable must be connected to the upper terminal. When this cable is connected to the lower terminal, the EMC filter will be disarmed. The upper terminal will be a metallic conductor, while the lower one will be isolated.
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS dV/dt Filter (Optional) dV/dt filters, installed in the variable speed drives, provide a slower voltage rise time on the motor terminal phase-to-phase voltage, improving the useful life of the motor and avoiding the premature ageing of the motor winding.
To make the connections and to connect the control circuit, use shielded twisted cables, separating the cables from the main power supply. NPN / PNP Configuration Selector The SD500 Series provides two operating modes for the connection of input signals: NPN or PNP. The corresponding connection methods are shown below: CONTROL CONNECTION...
Page 42
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS NPN mode The drive is configured in this mode when the switch is set to NPN (right position). In this mode, the input terminals are activated using the internal power of the drive. Terminal CM (24Vdc GND) is the common terminal for the input contact signals.
POWER ELECTRONICS SD500 PNP Mode (external supply) The drive is configured in this mode when the selector is adjusted to PNP (left position). In this mode, the input terminals will activate using a 24Vdc supply, external to the driver, but with the reference terminal attached to the CM terminal of the driver.
SD500 POWER ELECTRONICS I / PTC Configuration Selector The SD500 drive uses one of the control terminal inputs as a PTC thermistor input. To configure the analogue current input (AI2 – Terminal I1) as a PTC input, the selector shown in the next figure must be adjusted to the PTC position: There are three possible configurations for the connection of the PTC thermistor depending on how it’s...
