4 Electrical installation
Many cable management features have been incorporated into the product and accessories, this chapter shows how to optimize them. Key features
include:
•
Safe Torque Off (STO) function
•
Internal EMC filter
•
EMC compliance with shielding / grounding accessories
•
Product rating, fusing and cabling information
•
Brake resistor details (ratings)
Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be lethal:
•
AC supply cables and connections
•
DC and brake cables, and connections
•
Output cables and connections
•
Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
•
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be touched
Isolation device
The AC and / or DC power supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device before any cover is removed
from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option units.
Safe Torque Off (STO) function
The Safe Torque Off (STO) function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option units.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC and / or DC power supply has been
disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC and / or DC power supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may
continue. Normally the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor, however under certain unusual fault conditions, it is possible that
the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has
failed in a manner which causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible that the capacitors will not be discharged.
In this case, consult Control Techniques or their authorized distributor.
Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected to the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC
supply terminals of the drive are connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to give safety
isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug
from the drive must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
Permanent magnet motors
Permanent magnet motors generate electrical power if they are rotated, even when the supply to the drive is disconnected. If that
happens then the drive will become energized through its motor terminals. If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the
supply is disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from the drive before gaining access to any live parts.
