Planning the Electrical Installation
5.1
What this Chapter Contains
This chapter contains information that is useful in planning the electrical installation of the servo drives:
Motor & Drive Compatibility
Electrical Isolation and Protection Devices
Cable Selection and Routing
The AMD200 series of drives must be installed by a professional. A professional in this context is a person or
organisation possessing the necessary skills and qualifications relating to the installation and/or commissioning of
power drive systems, including their EMC aspects.
5.2
Motor and Drive Compatibility
Ensure that the AMD2000 drive and the AC motor intended for use are compatible according to their respective
allowable limits of operation.
Refer to
12.4.12 Digital servo drive
and
13.2.12 Motor Electrical Information Summary
5.3
Power Supply Disconnecting Device
A mains disconnecting device must be connected between the AC power source and the AMD2000 drive. This
must conform to the requirements and applicable safety regulations of the region of operation.
5.4
Emergency Stop Devices
An emergency stop device must be installed for safety reasons within easy reach of
operators and maintenance personnel at all operator control stations and wherever
deemed necessary.
5.5
Thermal Overload and Protection
Thermal Overload
5.5.11.1
The AMD 2000 has a built in temperature sensor that will shut off the drive when the heat sink
temperature reaches a temperature that would be unsafe for continuous operation of the power
switching semiconductors in the drive. The software will report a Class 1 Diagnostics error if
this occurs. If this occurs please review the mechanical spacing advice and thermal de-rating
curves provided by ANCA Motion and check the ambient temperature of air going to the bottom
of the heat-sink in your specific application under steady state conditions.
Motor Cable Short-circuit
5.5.11.2
The AMD2000 contains features designed to protect both the motor and motor cable in the
event of a short-circuit, provided the motor cable is of the required dimensions with respect to
the current of the drive. This feature will trip if the current exceeds:
14.3A for the 3A drive
72.7A for the 9A drive
Supply Cable or Drive Short-circuit
5.5.11.3
The power supply cable is required to be protected via fuses or circuit breakers according to
