Mechanical installation 21 Mechanical installation Contents of this chapter This chapter describes the mechanical installation of the brake units. Brake unit The ACS880 multidrive - the brake unit as one part of the complete drive - is transported in sections. Refer to ACS880 liquid-cooled multidrive cabinets mechanical installation instructions (3AXD50000048635 [English]).
Brake units with user-defined brake resistors Selecting the brake resistor ■ WARNING! ABB is not responsible for user resistor selection or protection of the resistor. Select the resistor according to the resistor specification given in the technical data. In addition, consider the following:...
■ Selecting the brake resistor cables • Select cables that are compliant with the ABB brake resistor cable specification. Refer to technical data. • Make sure that the resistor cable is not longer than 50 m (164 ft). Longer cables increase the inductance in the circuit and may cause drive or chopper fault trips, or other malfunctions.
Roxtec cable entry (option +H394) The cabinet can be equipped with a multi-cable transit frame for Roxtec cable entry (option +H394). ABB provides only the frames, not the seals or the installation tools. For sealing components and installation instructions, refer to www.roxtec.com.

Electrical installation 29 WARNING! The busbars inside the cabinet of liquid-cooled drives are partially coated. Measurements made through the coating are potentially unreliable, so only measure at uncoated portions. Note that the coating does not constitute a safe or touch-proof insulation. Install temporary grounding as required by the local regulations.
30 Electrical installation 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 electrical installation, commissioning or maintenance work.
Electrical installation 31 Selecting the voltage The voltage is preset, according to the drive supply voltage, at the factory for each brake chopper. On the field, you need to adjust the voltage setting only if a brake chopper is changed. NBRW-669 brake chopper has an NBRC-61 brake chopper control unit, and can be used only with 690 V drive nominal supply.
