Proper Use - Eaton PowerXL DC1 Manual

1.9 Proper use

The DC1 variable frequency drives are not domestic appliances. They are
designed only for industrial use as system components.
The DC1 variable frequency drives are electrical devices for controlling vari-
able speed drives with three-phase motors. They are designed for installation
in machines or for use in combination with other components within a
machine or system
If installed in a machine, the variable frequency drives must not be placed
into operation until it is confirmed that the relevant machine complies with
the safety requirements set forth in the 2006/22/EC Machinery Directive
(meets the requirements set forth in EN 60204). The user of the equipment
is responsible for ensuring that the machine use complies with the relevant
EU Directives.
The CE markings on DC1 variable frequency drives confirm that the devices
meet the requirements set forth in the European Union's Low Voltage and
EMC Directives (Directives 2006/95/EC and 2006/42/EC) when used in their
typical drive configuration.
In the described system configurations, DC1 variable frequency drives are
suitable for use in public and non-public networks.
A connection of a DC1 variable frequency drive to IT networks (networks
without reference to earth potential) is permissible only to a limited extent,
since the device's built-in filter capacitors connect the network with the earth
potential (enclosure).
On earth free networks, this can lead to dangerous situations or damage to
the device (isolation monitoring required).
￫
To the output (terminals U, V, W) of the DC1 variable frequency
drive you must not:
• connect a voltage or capacitive loads (e.g. phase compensa-
tion capacitors),
• connect multiple variable frequency drives in parallel,
• make a direct connection to the input (bypass).
Observe the technical data and connection requirements.
For additional information, refer to the equipment rating plate or label of the
variable frequency drive and the documentation. Any other usage constitutes
improper use.
