6 CG Drives & Automation
Application as directed
AC drives are components which are designed for installation in electrical systems or
machines. They are not to be used as domestic appliances, but only for industrial purposes
according to EN 61000−3−2.
When AC drives are installed into machines, commissioning (i.e. starting of the operation
as directed) is prohibited until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations
of the EC Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting of the operation as directed) is only allowed when there is
compliance with the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC).
The AC drives meet the requirements of the
Low−Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. The
harmonised standard EN 61800−5−1 applies to the AC drives.
The technical data and supply conditions can be obtained from the nameplate and the
documentation. They must be strictly observed.
Warning: AC drives are products which can be installed in drive systems of category C2
according to EN 61800−3. These products can cause radio interferences in residential areas.
In this case, special measures can be necessary.
Transport, storage
Please observe the notes on transport, storage, and appropriate handling.
Observe the climatic conditions according to the technical data.
Installation
The AC drives must be installed and cooled according to the instructions given in the
corresponding documentation.
The ambient air must not exceed degree of pollution 2 according to EN
61800−5−1.
Ensure proper handling and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Do not bend any
components and do not change any insulation distances during transport or handling. Do
not touch any electronic components and contacts.
AC drives contain electrostatic sensitive devices which can easily be damaged by
inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since this
might endanger your health!
Electrical connection
When working on live AC drives, observe the applicable national regulations for the
prevention of accidents.
The electrical installation must be carried out according to the appropriate regulations
(e.g. cable cross−sections, fuses, PE connection). Additional information can be obtained
from the documentation.
The documentation provides notes on
EMC−compliant installation (shielding, earthing,
filter arrangement, and laying of cables). Please also observe these notes when installing
CE−labelled AC drives. The manufacturer of the machine or plant is responsible for the
compliance with the required limit values associated with EMC legislation.
Emotron CDN drives may cause a DC current in the PE conductor. If a residual current
device is used as a protective means in the case of direct or indirect contact with a
three−phase controller, a residual current device of type B must be used on the current
supply side of the controller. If the controller has a single−phase supply, it is also permissible
to use a residual current device of type A. Apart from the use of a residual current device,
other protective measures can also be taken, such as isolation from the environment by
double or reinforced insulation, or separation from the supply system by means of a
transformer.
