Translation of the original operating instructions
4.2.2 Voltage control
NOTE
Current overshoots may occur if speed control is implemented
by transformers or electronic voltage regulators (e.g. phase
control). Depending on the type of installation of the device,
noise and vibration may also occur in the case of phase
control. Vibration can lead to bearing damage and thus
premature failure.
Heating-up of the motor when using voltage control must be checked by
the customer following installation in the end device.
4.2.3 Variable frequency drive
Please use a variable frequency drive only after consultation with ebm-
papst.
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-up of the motor when using a variable frequency drive must be
checked by the customer following installation in the end device.
4.3 Connecting the cables
The device has external leads.
;
First connect the "PE" (protective earth).
●
Connect the cables according to your application. When doing so,
observe Chapter 4.4 Connection diagram.
4.3.1 Cable routing
Water must be prevented from reaching the cable exit along the cable.
NOTE
Damage caused by moisture penetration.
Moisture can penetrate into the terminal box if water is
constantly present at the cable glands.
→ To prevent the constant accumulation of water at the cable
glands, the cable should be routed in a U-shaped loop
wherever possible.
→ If this is not possible, a drip edge can be produced by
fitting a cable tie directly in front of the cable gland for example.

be routed downward.
4.3.2 Motor protection
CAUTION
Voltage
The device is a built-in component and has no disconnecting
switch.
→ Connect the device to a suitable tripping unit.
→ Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched
off with an all-pole disconnection switch.
→ When working on the device, secure the system/
machine in which the device is installed so as to prevent it
from being switched back on.
NOTE
Lack of motor protection
Without motor protection, the motor can overheat and suffer
damage.
→ Connect the thermal overload protector installed in the
winding.
The motors are equipped with thermal overload protectors to protect the
devices.
Check to make sure that the thermal overload protector is correctly
connected before each operation.
Failure to connect the thermal overload protector correctly will
invalidate your warranty claim.
