Conformity To The Low Voltage Directive In The Eu - GE Fuji Electric AF-300 Mini Startup Manual

Conformity to the Low Voltage Directive in the EU

If installed according to the guidelines given below, drives marked with CE or TUV are considered as compliant with
the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.
CAUTION
1. The ground terminal G should always be connected to the ground. Do not use only a residual-current-oper-
ated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)* as the sole method of electric shock protec-
tion. Be sure to use ground wires whose size is greater than power supply lines.
*With the exception of those exclusively designed for protection from ground faults.
2. When you use a residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) for
protection from electric shock in direct or indirect contact power lines or nodes, be sure to use type B of
RCD/ELCB at the power supply side of the electric equipment for three-phase 230/460 V power supplies. For
single-phase 230 V power supplies, use type A.
When you use no RCD/ELCB, take any other protective measure that isolates the electric equipment from other
equipment on the same power supply line using double-layered or reinforced insulation or that isolates the
power supply lines connected to the electric equipment using an isolated transformer.
3. The drive should be used in an environment that does not exceed pollution degree 2 requirements. If the
environment conforms to pollution degree 3 or 4, install the drive in a enclosure of IP54 or higher.
4. Install the drive, ac or dc reactor, input or output filter in an enclosure with minimum degree of protection of
IP2X (Top panel of enclosure shall be minimum IP4X when it can be easily accessed), to prevent anyone from
touching live parts of this equipment.
5. To make a drive with no integrated EMC filter conform to the EMC directive, it is necessary to connect an exter-
nal EMC filter to the drive and install them properly so that the entire equipment including the drive conforms to
the EMC directive.
6. Do not connect any copper wire directly to grounding terminals. Use clamp terminals with tin or equivalent
plating to connect it.
7. When you use a drive at an altitude of more than 2000 m, you should apply basic insulation for the control
circuits of the drive. The drive cannot be used at altitudes of more than 3000 m.
8. When used in the drive, a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), residual-current-operated protective device
(RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) or magnetic contactor (MC) should conform to the EN or IEC
standards.
9. Supplemantary insulation is required for the control interface when the drive is installed in Overvoltage Category
III in 230V class models and Overvoltage Category II or III in 460V class models.
10. The supply mains neutral has to be grounded for 3-phase 460V class drives.
