Disconnecting Emc Filter And Ground-To-Phase Varistor; Identifying The Earthing System Of The Electrical Power Network - ABB ACQ580-34 Hardware Manual

￭

Disconnecting EMC filter and ground-to-phase varistor

EMC AC and varistor (VAR) grounding wires are located at the top of the circuit board
compartment. Disconnect them (1) and attach them with the nearby plastic clamp (2).

Identifying the earthing system of the electrical power network

WARNING!
Only a qualified electrical professional may do the work instructed in this section.
Depending on the installation site, the work may even be categorized as live
working. Proceed only if you are an electrical professional certified for the work.
Obey the local regulations. If you ignore them, injury or death can occur.
To identify the earthing system, find out the supply transformer connection. If that is not
possible, measure these voltages at the distribution board, and use the table below to define
the earthing system type.
1. input voltage line to line (U
2. input voltage line 1 to ground (U
3. input voltage line 2 to ground (U
4. input voltage line 3 to ground (U
The table below shows the line-to-ground voltages in relation to the line-to-line voltage for
each earthing system.
