External wiring should be carried out in accordance with following requirement. Check and reassure
the wiring is correct after the wiring is complete. (Do not utilize the control circuitry buzzer to check
the wiring.)
EMI connecting:
It is very important that the connections between the inverter, the shielded motor cable, and the EMI
filters are tested as follows.
l
Use a metal grounding plate and place the frequency inverter and the EMI filter on the plate.
l
Use a screened motor cable with 4 connectors ( U,V,W,& Earth ), don't use the shielding as
safety earth ( shield is high frequency earth )
l
Remove painting around the two metal coupling nut holes. So that the metal coupling nuts
( and the shielding ) make contact with the frequency inverter and the motor.
l
Don't solder a conductor to the shielding
l
Use a metal clamp to connect the shielding from the motor cable with the metal grounding
plate. Now there is a perfect high frequency earth connection between frequency inverter .
grounding plate and EMI filter.
l
Keep the distance between frequency inverter and EMI filter as short as possible ( < 30cm )
otherwise use screened cable with a metal coupling nut and a metal clamp addle to connect
the shielded cable to the frequency inverter and metal grounding plate.
l
The only earth connection between the LISN and the test plate should be via the EMI filter.
l Use a motor which equals the power rating or below of the inverter rating.
l Install a noise filter for inverter onto the output side of the primary circuitry can suppress
conducting noise (For residential environment only). To reduce radio active noise, use a
shielded wire between motor and drive, this wiring should be away from control wiring for
more than 30 cm.
