General notes concerning the test setup
This product was tested at F-Squared Laboratories, in Burton, OH on April 16-18, 2002.
The report numbers are NY011602-01-01E and NY011602-01-02E.
The Ndrive HP was tested while powered from a 230VAC source with a brushless
servomotor, connected via PMC-15 and BFC-15 (15 foot) cables. In order for the
product to conform to the radiated emission standards, the motor cable must be shielded
and the shield must be connected to the earth ground. A metal D-style connector with a
metal backshell must be used when connecting to the D-style connectors on the Ndrive
HP. The shield of the feedback cable must be connected to the metal backshell.
The following modifications ensure compliance:
•
Install a snap-on Ferrishield ferrite attenuator, P/N SS28B2034, on the FireWire cable
at the unit.
•
Install a Curtis, P/N F1600CA-10, EMI line filter on the AC input.
•
Install two snap-on Ferrishield ferrite attenuators, P/N SS28B2032 and CS28B1984,
on the AC cable between the EMI line filter and the Ndrive.
•
Connect earth ground to the mounting screw at the AC input.
•
Install a SCI, 25-pin, D-style, Spectrum EMI filter adapter, P/N SCI-56-725-001, in
series with the motor feedback cable at the unit. Current generation units (Revision A)
have integral filtering built-in, which should preclude the use of this EMI filter, based
upon similar product testing.
Safety related requirements to ensure compliance (exceptions to EN 61010-1):
•
The Ndrive must be installed within an enclosure with construction compliant unlimited
circuits.
•
The end user is responsible for meeting the final protective ground requirements.
•
The AC power inlet located on the front of the Ndrive is the power disconnect. The
end user is responsible for determining and providing a supply disconnect for the
system.
•
The end user is responsible for preventing unexpected startup.
•
Connection requirements are described in the technical documentation provided with
the product. The end user is responsible for making the proper connections and
meeting any required interlock requirements for the product application.
•
Voltages greater than 60V may be present inside the Ndrive after a discharge time of
5 seconds.
•
The end user must provide protection for power interruption / restoration, if required.
•
The end user must provide earth fault current protection, if required.
•
The end user must provide protection against lightning and power switching surges, if
required.
•
Control and Emergency Stop requirements are to be determined and provided by the
end user.
•
Wire and cabling provided with the Ndrive meet Aerotech’s electrical and listed
environmental requirements. The end user must meet the final requirements.
Failure to follow these procedures may result in serious
injury, damage and/or excessive emissions or reduced
immunity of the equipment.
