4. CONNECTION AND STARTUP
4.1 Mechanical connection
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing fan from
packaging
→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by the
guard grille. Strictly avoid shocks.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
;
Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not to
be installed.
;
Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application.
NOTE
Motor capacitor
→ The product is equipped with a motor capacitor with safety
protection class P0/S0 according to EN 60252-1. Take this
into consideration when fitting it to the end product on the
basis of applicable regulations.
4.2 Electrical connection
DANGER
Voltage on the device
Electric shock
→ Always connect a protective earth first.
→ Check the protective earth.
DANGER
Faulty insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
→ Use only cables that meet the specified installation
regulations for voltage, current, insulation material, capacity,
etc.
→ Route cables so that they cannot be touched by any
rotating parts.
DANGER
Electrical charge (>50 µC) between phase conductor and
protective earth connection after switching off supply
with multiple devices connected in parallel.
Electric shock, risk of injury
→ Ensure sufficient protection against accidental contact.
Before working on the electrical hookup, short the supply
and PE connections.
CAUTION
Voltage
The fan is a built-in component and has no disconnecting switch.
→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole disconnection switch.
→ When working on the fan, secure the system/machine in
which the fan is installed so as to prevent it from being
switched back on.
NOTE
Water ingress into wires or cables
Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can damage the
device.
→ Make sure the end of the cable is connected in a dry
environment.
Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole disconnection switch.
4.2.1 Requirements
;
Check whether the data on the nameplate match the connection data
and the data for the operating capacitor.
;
Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches
the device voltage.
;
Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the
nameplate.
For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according
to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section
equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor.
We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG 26 / 0.13 mm².
Ground conductor contact resistance according to EN 60335
Compliance with the impedance specifications according to EN 60335
for the protective earth connection circuit must be verified in the end
application.
Depending on the circumstances of installation, it may be necessary to
connect an additional protective earth conductor to the extra protective
earth terminal on the device.
4.2.2 Voltage control
With speed control using transformers or electronic voltage
regulators (e.g. phase control), excessive current may occur.
In addition, depending on how the device is installed, noises
can occur with phase control.
4.2.3 Variable frequency drive
Please use a variable frequency drive only after consultation with ebm-
papst.
When a variable frequency drive is used for speed adjustment, the
maximum safe operating speed (see 3.2 Nominal data) may not be
exceeded.
For operation with variable frequency drives, install sinusoidal
filters that work on all poles (phase-phase and phase-ground)
between the drive and the motor.
During operation with variable frequency drives, an all-pole
sine filter protects the motor against high-voltage transients that
can destroy the coil insulation system, and against harmful
bearing currents.
Heating of the motor due to use of a variable frequency drive must be
checked in the application by the customer.
4.3 Connection in terminal box
4.3.1 Preparing cables for connection
Only strip the cable as far as necessary, ensuring that the cable gland is
sealed and there is no strain on the connections. For tightening torques,
see Chapter 3.1 Product drawing.
