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 screened cables
could result in death or serious injury.
•
Run output motor cables separately, or
•
use screened cables
CAUTION
SHOCK HAZARD
The frequency converter can cause a DC current in the
PE conductor. Failure to follow the recommendation
below means 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
permitted on the supply side.
Overcurrent Protection
•
Additional 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, fuses must be provided by the installer.
See maximum fuse ratings in chapter 8.5 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 rated copper wire.
See chapter 8.1 Power-Dependent Specifications and
chapter 8.3 General Technical Data - Frequency Converter for
recommended wire sizes and types.

Operating Instructions
4.2 EMC Compliant Installation
To obtain an EMC-compliant installation, follow the
instructions provided in chapter 4.4 Grounding,
chapter 4.5 Input Options, chapter 4.6 Motor Connection, and
chapter 4.8 Control Wiring.

NOTICE
Cables–General Information
All cabling must comply with national and local
regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient
temperature. UL applications require 75 °C copper
conductors. For non-UL applications, 75 and 90 °C
copper conductors are thermally acceptable.
The power cable connections are situated as shown in
Illustration 4.1. Dimension cable cross-section in accordance
with the current ratings and local legislation. See
chapter 8.3.1 Cable lengths and cross-sections for details.
For protection of the frequency converter, use the
recommended fuses if there are no built-in fuses. Fuse
recommendations are provided in chapter 8.5 Fuses. Ensure
that proper fusing is made according to local regulation.
The mains connection is fitted to the mains switch, if
included.
NOTICE
To comply with EMC emission specifications, screened/
armoured cables are recommended. If an unscreened/
unarmoured cable is used, see chapter 4.7.3 Power and
Control Wiring for Unscreened Cables.
See chapter 8 Specifications for correct dimensioning of
motor cable cross-section and length.
