Vacon NX is disconnected from mains. Before connecting the frequency converter to mains make sure that the Vacon NX front and cable covers as well as the cabinet doors are closed. 24-hour support: +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...
SAFETY Earthing and earth fault protection The Vacon NX frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the PE bar in the lower front side of the cabinet. The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects only the converter itself against earth faults in the motor or the motor cable.
• 7 INTRODUCTION The Vacon NXC is a product range of free standing enclosed frequency converters for the high power range. The NXC is a modular product intended for use in all applications where reliability and high availability is appreciated.

• 9 RECEIPT OF DELIVERY Vacon NX frequency converters have undergone scrupulous tests and quality checks at the factory before they are delivered to the customer. However, after unpacking the product, check that no signs of transport damages are to be found on the product and that the delivery is complete (com- pare the type designation of the product to the code below).
10 • vacon RECEIPT OF DELIVERY NXC additional option codes The NXC enclosure solution contains additional pre-engineered hardware options. These options are appended to the basic type code by using “+” codes. You will find the complete type code on the name plate of the unit.
In IP54 units, the air filters in the door and in the roof should be cleaned or replaced regularly. It is recommended to replace the fans every 6 years. We recommend checking the tightening torques of terminals at regular intervals. Vacon Service Centre can provide you with a long-period maintenance plan for your frequency converter on request. Warranty Only manufacturing defects are covered by the warranty.

The box may be transported either horizontally or vertically, while transportation of the cage in a horizontal position is not allowed. To lift the unit out of the box, use lifting equipment capable of handling the weight of the cabinet.
Fix the cabinet to the floor in the front with bolts and use the fixing brackets in the middle. Fix all cabinet sections in the same way. Figure 5-4. Fixing all for corners to the floor 24-hour support: +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...
MOUNTING AC choke connections The AC input choke carries out several functions in the Vacon NX frequency converter. The input choke is needed as an essential component for motor control, to protect the input and DC-link com- ponents against abrupt changes of current and voltage as well as to function as a protection against harmonics.
Locate the transformer in the lower part of the cabinet. The primary side of the transformer has tappings that correspond to standard main voltages. Change to tapping to correspond to the mains voltage in use. 24-hour support: +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...
22 • vacon MOUNTING Cooling 5.6.1 Free space around the cabinet Enough space must be left above and in front of the cabinet to ensure sufficient cooling and space for maintenance. The amount of cooling air required is indicated in the table below. Also make sure that the tempera- ture of the cooling air does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature of the converter.
For dimensioning of cooling or ventilation equipment for electri- cal rooms the following generic formula gives a good approximation of the heat losses at nominal conditions: [kw] = P [kW] x 0,025 loss 24-hour support: +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...
24 • vacon CABLING AND CONNECTIONS CABLING AND CONNECTIONS Understanding the power unit topology Figure 6-1 shows the principles for mains and motor connections of the basic 6-pulse drive in frame sizes FR10 to FR14. Some units built in frame size FR11 have double input devices and require an even number of supply cables but an uneven number of motor cables can be used.
Tables 6-2 and 6-4 show the minimum dimensions of Cu- and Al-cables and the recommended aR fuse sizes. If the motor temperature protection of the drive (see Vacon All in One Application Manual) is used as an overload protection, the cable should be chosen accordingly. If three or more cables are used parallelly (per block) in bigger units each cable requires a separate overload protection.

Vacon's delivery consists of fixed sets of ferrite rings (option). When ferrite rings are used to attenuate the risk of bearing damages, use always two ferrite ring sets per motor cable.
6.2.2 DC supply and brake resistor cables Vacon frequency converters can optionally be equipped with terminals for DC supply and with an external brake resistor. These terminals are marked with B-, B+/R+ and R-. The DC bus connection is made to terminals B– and B+ and the brake resistor connection to R+ and R– on the converter module.
