3 - CONNECTIONS
• All connections work must be performed by
qualified electricians in accordance with the laws in
force in the country in which the drive is installed. This
includes earthing to ensure that no directly accessible
part of the drive can be at the mains voltage or any other
voltage which may be dangerous.
• The drive must be supplied through an approved
circuit-breaking device so that it can be powered down
safely.
• The drive power supply must be protected against
overloads and short-circuits.
• Check that the voltage and current of the drive, the
motor and the mains supply are compatible.
• The voltages on the connections of the mains supply,
the motor, the braking resistor or the filter may cause
fatal electric shocks. •
Only one permanent magnet motor can be connected to
the drive output. It is recommended to install a circuit-
breaking device between the permanent magnet motor
and the drive output to eliminate the risk of hazardous
voltage feedback when performing maintenance work.
• See also the recommendations in section 7.
3.1 - Power connections
3.1.1 - Electronics and forced ventilation power
supply
the control electronics and forced ventilation units need to
be supplied through a single-phase external power source
(terminal on control bloc).
The neutral of the electronics power supply must
not be connected to earth
