ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations. Furthermore, if the recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience problems that the warranty does not cover.
44 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation To comply with European Union directives and United Kingdom regulations related to standard EN 60204-1, the disconnecting device must be one of these types: • switch-disconnector of utilization category AC-23B (IEC 60947-3) • disconnector that has an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes switching devices to break the load circuit before the opening of the main contacts of the disconnector (EN 60947-3)
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 45 Selecting the power cables ■ General guidelines Select the input power and motor cables according to local regulations. • Current: Select a cable capable of carrying the maximum load current and suitable for the prospective short-circuit current provided by the supply network.
46 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation ■ Power cable types Preferred power cable types This section shows the preferred cable types. Make sure that the selected cable type also complies with local/state/country electrical codes. Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling and as brake resistor cabling Symmetrical shielded (or ar-...
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 47 Alternate power cable types Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling and as brake resistor cabling Yes with phase conductor Yes with phase conductor smaller than 10 mm 2 (8 AWG) smaller than 10 mm 2 (8 AWG) Cu, or motors up to 30 kW (40 hp).
■ Additional guidelines – North America ABB recommends the use of metallic conduit for power wiring. ABB also recommends the use of symmetrical shielded VFD cable between drive and motor(s). This table shows examples of methods for wiring the drive. Refer to NFPA 70 (NEC) along with state and local codes for the appropriate methods for your application.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 49 Wiring method Notes Free air Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable. Enclosures, air handlers, etc. Allowed internally in enclosures when in ac- cordance with UL. 1) Metallic conduit may be used as an additional ground path, provided this path is a solid path capable of handling ground currents.
50 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation Insulation jacket Helix of copper tape or copper wire Copper wire shield Inner insulation Cable core Grounding requirements This section gives general requirements for grounding the drive. When you plan the grounding of the drive, obey all the applicable national and local regulations. The conductivity of the protective earth conductor(s) must be sufficient.

Cross-sectional area of the phase conduct- Minimum cross-sectional area of the corres- ponding protective earth conductor S (mm 2 ) S p (mm 2 )
Shielding Only use shielded control cables. Use a double-shielded twisted pair cable for analog signals. ABB recommends this type of cable also for the pulse encoder signals. Use one individually shielded pair for each signal. Do not use common return for different analog signals.
■ Relay cable The cable type with braided metallic shield (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL, Germany) has been tested and approved by ABB. ■ Control panel to drive cable Use EIA-485, Cat 5e (or better) cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The maximum length of the cable is 100 m (328 ft).

56 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation ■ Separate control cable ducts Put 24 V DC and 230 V AC (120 V AC) control cables in separate ducts, unless the 24 V DC cable is insulated for 230 V AC (120 V AC) or insulated with an insulation sleeving for 230 V AC (120 V AC).
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 57 ■ Protecting the drive, and the input power and motor cables against thermal overload If the cables have the correct size for the nominal current, the drive protects itself and the input and motor cables against thermal overload. No additional thermal protection devices are needed.
58 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation Implementing a motor temperature sensor connection WARNING! IEC 61800-5-1 requires double or reinforced insulation between live parts and accessible parts when: • the accessible parts are not conductive, or • the accessible parts are conductive, but not connected to the protective earth.
161). Using a safety switch between the drive and the motor ABB recommends to install a safety switch between the permanent magnet motor and the drive output. The switch is needed to isolate the motor from the drive during maintenance work on the drive.

60 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation inductively to other conductors in the control cable and form a risk of malfunction in other parts of the system. Install the protective component as close to the inductive load as possible. Do not install protective components at the relay outputs.
Electrical installation 61 Electrical installation Contents of this chapter This chapter describes how to: • measure the insulation • do the grounding system compatibility check • change the EMC filter connection • connect the power and control cables • install optional modules •...
Use a measuring voltage of 1000 V DC. The insulation resistance of an ABB motor must be more than 100 Mohm (reference value at 25 °C [77 °F]). For the insulation resistance of other motors, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Electrical installation 63 ■ Measuring the insulation resistance of the brake resistor circuit WARNING! Obey the safety instructions of the drive. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation, commissioning or maintenance work.
64 Electrical installation WARNING! Do not install a drive with the internal EMC filter connected to a grounding system that the EMC filter is not compatible with (for example, an IT system). The supply network becomes connected to ground potential through the internal EMC filter capacitors, which can cause danger or damage to the drive.

Note: • ABB does not guarantee the EMC performance, because the internal EMC filter is disconnected. • ABB does not guarantee the functioning of the ground leakage detector built inside the drive.
Electrical installation 67 ■ Identifying the grounding system of the electrical power network WARNING! Only a qualified electrical professional may do the work instructed in this section. Depending on the installation site, the work may even be categorized as live working. Continue only if you are an electrical professional certified for the work.
PE conductor. Motor cable Note: ABB recommends to use a symmetrical shielded cable (VFD cable) as the motor cable. Separate PE cable (motor side). Use a separate grounding cable for the motor side, if the conductivity of the shield is not sufficient, or if there is no symmetrically constructed PE conductor in the cable.
Electrical installation 69 ■ Connection procedure WARNING! Obey the safety instructions of the drive. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation, commissioning or maintenance work.

Contents of this chapter The chapter contains the preventive maintenance instructions. Maintenance intervals The tables below show the maintenance tasks which can be done by the end user. For ABB Service offering, refer to www.abb.com/drivesservices or consult your local ABB Service representative (www.abb.com/searchchannels).
• Maintenance and component replacement intervals are based on the assumption that the equipment is operated within the specified ratings and ambient conditions. ABB recommends annual drive inspections to ensure the highest reliability and optimum performance. • Long term operation near the specified maximum ratings or ambient conditions may require shorter maintenance intervals for certain components.
The remaining mission time of the whole circuit is however determined by its oldest component. Contact your local ABB service representative for more information. Cleaning the heatsink The drive module heatsink fins pick up dust from the cooling air. The drive runs into overtemperature warnings and faults if the heatsink is not clean.
