4. CONNECTION AND START-UP
4.1 Connecting the mechanical system
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing blower
from packaging
→ Carefully remove the blower from its packaging by grasping
hold of the housing. Never subject to impact.# Wear safety
shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
CAUTION
Heavy load when taking out the device
Bodily harm, e.g. back injuries, are possible.
→ Two people should remove the device out of its packaging
together.
NOTE
Damage to device by vibrations
Bearing damage, reduced service life
→ No system components may transmit forces or
impermissibly high vibration levels to the fan. #To decouple
from vibrations, we recommend using springs or rubber
insulators (not included in scope of delivery). In this case,
the fan may only be operated at speeds sufficiently different
from the resonance frequency of the vibration absorbers. #If
the fan is connected to air ducts, it should isolated from
vibrations, for example using compensators or similar
elements. #Fasten the fan to the substructure without
distorting it.
;
Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices must no
longer be installed.
;
Install the undamaged device according to your application.
CAUTION
Possibility of damage to the device
Serious damage may result if the device slips during assembly.
→ Keep the device fixed in position at the installation location
until all attachment screws have been tightened.
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 device is a built-in component and features no electrically
isolating switch.
→ Connect the device only to circuits that can be switched off
using an all-pole disconnecting switch.
→ When working on the device, you must switch off the
system/machine in which the device 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 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.
4.2.3 Frequency inverter
Please use a frequency converter only after consultation with ebm-papst.
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.
