Cables requirements
In additional to below requirements, all electrical installations must comply with local
standards and regulations, and the cable installation must be in line with the installation
guidelines of the cable manufacture.
•
Feeder cable requirements
No special requirements from converter point of view.
•
Motor cable requirements
The table summarizes the requirements to the motor cable coming from the operation with
an ACS580MV.
In case single-phase cables are used, they need to be installed in a triangle (trefoil)
configuration.
If the overall cross section of the screen of the 3-phase system is >50% of the phase
conductor cross section, no further precautions are have to be considered.
If the overall cross section is <50%, an additional equiptential bonding conductor is
recommended in order to prevent overloading of the screen in case of potential differences
in the plant. The minimum cross section of this conductor depends on the cable length:
•
≥
50 mm
2
, for cable length < 300 m
•
≥ 95 mm
2
, for cable length > 300 m
The converter must be connected to system ground at one point. The ground point inside
the converter is referred to as Protective Earth (PE).
The cross section of the ground cable must be
≥
150 mm
2
.
The connection to system ground has to be established in compliance with local
regulations.

transformer and drive
Cables and PE busbar between drive and integrated transformer includes the following
connections:
• Transformer primary and secondary cables.
