4. CONNECTION AND START-UP
4.1 Connecting the mechanical system
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing the fan
from the packaging
→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, holding it
by the centre of the blades only. Make sure to avoid any
shock.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
;
Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices must no
longer be installed.
;
Install the undamaged device according to your application.
4.2 Connecting the electrical system
DANGER
Electric voltage on the device
Electric shock
→ Always install a protective earth first.
→ Check the protective earth.
DANGER
Incorrect insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
→ Use only cables that meet the specified installation
requirements for voltage, current, insulation material, load etc.
→ Route cables such that they cannot be touched by any
rotating parts.
DANGER
Electrical load (>50 µC) between mains wire and
protective earth connection after switching of the supply
when switching multiple devices in parallel.
Electric shock, risk of injury
→ Make sure that sufficient protection against accidental contact
is provided.
Before working on the electrical connection, the
connections to the mains supply and PE must be shorted.
CAUTION
Electrical voltage
The fan is a built-in component and features no electrically
isolating switch.
→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole separating switch.
→ When working on the fan, you must switch off the
installation/machine in which the fan is installed and secure it
from being switched on again.
NOTE
Water penetration into leads or wires
Water enters at the cable end on the customers side and can
damage the device.
→ Make sure that the cable end is connected in a dry
environment.
Connect the device only to circuits that can be switched off
using an all-pole disconnecting switch.
4.2.1 Prerequisites
;
Check whether the data on the type plate agree with the connection
data.
;
Before connecting the device, ensure that the supply voltage matches
the operating voltage of the device.
;
Only use cables designed for current according to the type plate.
For determining the cross-section, follow the basic principles in
accordance with EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a
cross-section equal to or greater than the outer conductor cross-
section.
We recommend the use of 105°C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG26/0.13 mm².
4.2.2 Residual current operated device
Only pulse-current sensitive and/or universal RCD protective
devices (Type A or B) are permitted. Like frequency inverters,
RCD protective devices cannot provide personal safety while
operating the device.
4.2.3 Voltage control
With open loop speed control using transformers or electronic
voltage regulators (e.g. phase angle control), excessive current
may occur.
In addition, noises can occur with phase angle control
depending on the mounting situation.
4.2.4 Frequency inverter
Please use a frequency converter only after consultation with ebm-papst.
When a frequency converter is used for speed adjustment, the
maximum safe operating speed (see 3.2 Nominal data) may not be
exceeded.
For operation with frequency converters, fit sinusoidal filters that
work on all poles (phase-phase and phase-earth) between the
frequency converter and the motor.
During operation with frequency converters, an all-pole sine
filter protects the motor against high-voltage transients that can
destroy the winding insulation system, and against harmful
bearing currents.
Heating of the motor due to use of a frequency converter must be
checked in the application by the customer.
4.3 Connection in terminal box
4.3.1 Preparing connection lines for the connection
Strip the cable just enough so that the screwed cable gland is tight and
the terminals are relieved of strain. Tightening torque, see chapter 3.1
