Checking the compatibility of the motor and drive
Use asynchronous AC induction motor, permanent magnet synchronous motor or ABB
synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM motors) with the drive. Multiple induction motors
can be connected to the drive at a time when using the scalar motor control mode.
Make sure that the motor(s) and the drive are compatible according to the rating table
in the technical data.
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 provided by the supply network. The method of
installation and ambient temperature affect the cable current carrying capacity. Obey
local regulations and laws.
• Temperature: For an IEC installation, select a cable rated for at least 70 °C (158 °F)
maximum permissible temperature of conductor in continuous use.
For North America, select a cable rated for at least 75 °C (167 °F).
Important: For certain product types or option configurations higher temperature rating
may be required. See the technical data for details.
• Voltage: 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC. 750 V AC cable is accepted
for up to 600 V AC. 1000 V AC cable is accepted for up to 690 V AC.
To comply with the EMC requirements of the CE mark, use one of the preferred cable
types. See
Preferred power cable types (page 48) .
Symmetrical shielded cable reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system
as well as the stress on motor insulation, bearing currents and wear.
Metal conduit reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system.
