4 Electrical Installation

4.1 Safety Instructions

See chapter 2 Safety for general safety instructions.
WARNING
4 4
INDUCED VOLTAGE
Induced voltage from output motor cables that run
together can charge equipment capacitors, even with the
equipment turned off and locked out. Failure to run
output motor cables separately or use shielded cables
could result in death or serious injury.
•
Run output motor cables separately, or
•
Use shielded cables.
CAUTION
SHOCK HAZARD
The frequency converter can cause a DC current in the
PE conductor. Failure to follow the recommendation
means that the RCD may not provide the intended
protection.
•
When a residual current-operated protective
device (RCD) is used for protection against
electrical shock, only an RCD of Type B is
allowed on the supply side.
Overcurrent protection
•
More protective equipment, such as short-circuit
protection or motor thermal protection between
frequency converter and motor, is required for
applications with multiple motors.
•
Input fusing is required to provide short-circuit
and overcurrent protection. If not factory-
supplied, the installer must provide the fuses. See
maximum fuse ratings in chapter 8.7 Fuses.
Wire type and ratings
•
All wiring must comply with local and national
regulations regarding cross-section and ambient
temperature requirements.
•
Power connection wire recommendation:
Minimum 75 °C (167 °F) rated copper wire.
See chapter 8.1 Electrical Data and chapter 8.5 Cable Specifi-
cations for recommended wire sizes and types.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL EQUALIZATION
There is a risk of burst transient when the ground
potential between the frequency converter and the
control system is different. Install equalizing cables
between the system components. Recommended cable
cross-section: 16 mm

Chapter 4.6 Motor Connection.
Chapter 4.3 Grounding.
Chapter 4.8.1 Control Wiring.
WARNING
Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment
by a certified electrical installer.
Ground the frequency converter in accordance
with applicable standards and directives.
Use a dedicated ground wire for input power,
motor power, and control wiring.
Do not ground 1 frequency converter to another
in a daisy chain fashion.
Keep the ground wire connections as short as
possible.
Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
Minimum cable cross-section: 10 mm
(or 2 rated ground wires terminated separately).
Tighten the terminals in accordance with the
information provided in Table 8.10.
Establish electrical contact between the cable
shield and the frequency converter enclosure by
using metal cable glands or by using the clamps
provided on the equipment.
Reduce burst transient by using high-strand wire.
Do not use pigtails.
