SK 54xE – Users Manual for Frequency Inverters
2.9.4
Electrical connection of power unit
The following information relates to all power connections to the frequency inverter. This includes:
•
Mains cable connection (L1, L2/N, L3, PE)
•
Motor cable connection (U, V, W, PE)
•
Brake resistor connection (B+, B-)
•
Link circuit connection (-DC, (+DC))
•
Link circuit choke connection (-DC, CP, PE)
Before connecting the frequency inverter, the following must be observed:
1. Ensure that the mains supply provides the correct voltage and is suitable for the current required.
2. Ensure that suitable circuit breakers with the specified nominal current range are installed between
the voltage source and the inverter.
3. Connect the mains voltage directly to the mains terminals L1-L2/N-L3-PE (for each device)
4. A four-core cable must be used to connect the motor. The cable is connected to the motor
terminals PE-U-V-W.
5. If screened motor cables (recommended) are used, the cable screening must also be connected to
a large area of the metallic screening angle of the EMC Kit, however, at least to the electrically
conducting mounting surface of the control cabinet.
6. Above size 8, the cable lugs which are included in the scope of delivery must be used. After
crimping, these must be insulated with shrink hose.
Information
The use of shielded cables is essential in order to maintain the specified radio interference suppression level.
If certain wire end sleeves are used, the maximum cross-section which can be connected can be reduced.
To connect the power unit, the following tools must be used:
