IPA Hardware Installation Guide
Installing the IPA Drive
Only qualified, skilled electrical technicians familiar with local safety requirements should install this product. For
service, the drive must be returned to an authorized service center. There are no user serviceable parts inside the
chassis. In certain circumstances, opening the cover may void the product warranty. The IPA drive is a vented
product. To prevent material spilling into the drive, mount it under an overhang or in a suitable enclosure.
Per IEC 61800-3 ed2.1 section 3.2.5, the IPA is considered a PDS (Power Drive System) of rated voltage less than
1000V, intended for use in the second environment (industrial) and not intended for direct use in the first
environment (residential).
This means only those individuals familiar with the EMC requirements of power drive
systems should install this product and that this product is designed for connection to mains distribution networks
other than low-voltage networks, which may supply domestic premises. The drives can tolerate atmospheric
pollution degree 2, which means only dry, non-conductive pollution is acceptable.
IPA drives have been shown to meet the requirements of both the European LVD & EMC directives when installed
according to the recommendations given within this section. It is recommended the drive be installed in an
enclosure to protect it from atmospheric and industrial process contaminants and to prevent operator access
while power is applied. Metal equipment cabinets are ideally suited for housing the equipment since they can
provide operator protection, EMC screening, and can be fitted with interlocks arranged to remove all hazardous
motor and drive power when the cabinet door is opened. Do not arrange interlocks to open circuit the motor
phase connections while the system is still powered, as this could cause damage to the drive.
Precautions
During installation, take the normal precautions against damage caused by electrostatic discharges. Wear earth
wrist straps. A switch or circuit breaker must be included in the installation, which must be clearly marked as the
disconnecting device and should be within easy reach of the machine operator.
The IPA Drive has exposed high voltage terminals. In order to comply with the safety requirements pertaining to
European Compliance, and other authorities, the drive must be mounted in such a way as to restrict access to
these terminals during normal operation.
A Safe Installation – Meeting the Requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
In order to comply with the requirements of the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive, the following
installation measures must be taken.
Mains fuses must be installed on all mains input lines carrying operating current.
Drive Protective Earth Conductor must be connected directly to a reliable system safety Earth point.
Total resistance from Drive’s Protective Conductor Terminal to a Reliable System Safety Earth must not
exceed 0.1 Ohm, and must be capable of carrying 25A of Fault Current.
Motor safety earth conductor (for motor voltages greater than or equal to 75 volts) must be connected
to the drive’s Motor Earth terminal, marked with .
The drive must be installed in a manner that prevents operator access to hazardous live terminals during
normal operation.
Additional safety measures may be required within your particular market, please consult you local regulatory
agency for additional requirements.
