ELTROPLAN - REVCON Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH Electrical Installation Installation of a power feed/feedback unit in a CE-typical drive system General • The user is responsible for the compliance of his application with the EC directives. If you observe the following measure you can be sure that the drive system will not cause any power-feed/feedback-unit-caused EMC problems, i.e.
EMC guideline has to be carried out by the erector / user of the machine / plant. If the by ELTROPLAN-REVCON released RFI-filters are used and the following measures and installation guidelines are observed, the adherence to the prescribed data is cleared.
ELTROPLAN - REVCON Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH Electrical Installation Use copper or tinned copper screened wires only, as steel screened wires are not suitable for high frequency applications. Connect the screen with metal clamps or metal glands to the equalisation bars or PE-connections. Don’t longer the screen with single wires! If external RFI-filters are use, these have to be mounted not more than 30cm away from the noise source and with a very good, low resistive based contact.
ELTROPLAN - REVCON Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH Electrical Installation 4.6.4 Remarks Generally a system should be divided in an area for power electronics and an area for con- trol electronics. This is not only important, if the system is mounted in one cabinet, but even also if it is spread over several cabinets.
ELTROPLAN - REVCON Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH Electrical Installation 4.6.5 Installation of control wires The screen of digital signal wires, which are not connected to terminals, has to be con- nected to the screen bars to decrease the impedance of the screen.
ELTROPLAN - REVCON Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH Commissioning Commissioning Danger! Prior to initial switch-on of the power feed/feedback unit check the wiring for completeness, short-circuit and earth fault. It is absolutely necessary to install the inrush current limit circuit of the controller between the DC-output to the REVCON and the DC-bus capacitors.
ELTROPLAN - REVCON Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH Commissioning First powering up When powering up the first time the jumper J3 on the control board must be closed (it is closed at all new units), to enable the phase loss supervision circuit to verify the phase sequence.
