NOTE
•
The drive is protected against short-circuit from power output to protective earth for all rated cable lengths,
cable sizes and cable types.
•
The maximum cable lengths stated here are based on hardware limitations and do NOT take into consideration
any requirements for compliance to any EMC standards.
•
Maximum motor cable length stated applies to using a screened motor cable. When using an unscreened cable,
maximum cable length is increased by 50%. Using an output choke, the maximum cable length limited can be
increased by 100%
•
The PWM output switching from any inverter when used with a long motor cable length can cause an increase
in the voltage at the motor terminals, depending on the motor cable length and inductance. The rise time and
peak voltage can affect the service life of the motor. Beijer recommend using an output choke for motor cable
lengths of 50m or more to ensure good motor service life.
•
For IP20 Frame Size 8 the Vector Speed and Torque control modes may not operate correctly with long motor
cables and output filters. It is recommended to operate in V/F mode only for cable lengths exceeding 50m.
•
For UL compliant installation, use Copper wire with a minimum insulation temperature rating of 70°C, UL Class
CC or Class J Fuses(exception: Eaton Bussmann FWP series must be used for size 6A & 6B IP20 models).
All recommended sizes of cable sizes and fuses are recommendations. National laws and
recommendations are to be considered.
Recommended choice of cable sizes and fuses follows DIN VDE 0100 paragraph 430
Appendix, motor cable is copper, way of wiring A1 and E is following SS 424 24 24 edition.
A1 means cable/conductors in some kind of duct in a maximum temperature of 40°C. E
means cable/conductors mounted on a ladder. Calculated at 30°C with 9 or several cables
(correction factor 0,78).
