1.9.2
Isolation device
The AC 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.
1.9.3
STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or
any external option units.
1.9.4
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energised, the AC supply must
be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. 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 that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult LEROY-SOMER or their authorised
distributor.
1.9.5
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).
1.9.6
Ground leakage current
The drive is supplied with an internal EMC filter capacitor fitted. If the input voltage to
the drive is supplied through an ELCB or RCD, these may trip due to the ground
leakage current. See section 4.3.1
on page 14 for further information
and how to disconnect the internal EMC capacitor.
