1.4 Electrical connection
DANGER
Voltage at the terminals and in the device !
Danger to life due to electric shock !
►
Never work on the open device or never touch exposed parts.
►
For any work on the unit switch off the supply voltage and secure it
against switching on.
►
Wait until the drive has stopped in order, that perhaps regenerative
energy can be generated.
►
Await capacitor discharge time (5 minutes) if necessary, measure
DC voltage at the terminals.
►
If personal protection is required, install suitable protective devices
for drive converters.
►
Never bridge upstream protective devices (also not for test pur-
poses).
►
Connect the protective earth conductor to drive converter and motor
everytime.
►
Install all required covers and protective devices for operation.
►
The control cabinet shall be kept closed during operation.
For a trouble-free and safe operation, please pay attention to the following instructions:
• The electrical installation shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant re-
quirements.
• Cable cross-sections and fuses must be dimensioned by the user accordly to the
specified minimum / maximum values for the opperation.
• Drive converters are only intended for permanent connection. Cross-sections of pro-
tective earth conductors should be interpreted in accordance with
• Connection of the drive converter is only permissible on symmetrical networks with
a maximum line voltage (L1, L2, L3) with respect to earth (N/PE) of max. 300 V. An
isolating transformer must be used for supply networks which exceed this value. In
case of non-compliance the control is not longer considered as "PELV circuit".
• With existing or newly wired circuits the person installing the units or machines must
ensure the EN requirements are met.
• For drive converters that are not isolated from the supply circuit (in accordance with
) all control lines must be included in other protective measures (e.g.
double insulation or shielded, earthed and insulated).
• When using components without isolated inputs/outputs, it is necessary that equi-
potential bonding exists between the components to be connected (e.g. by the equi-
potential line). Disregard can cause destruction of the components by equalizing
currents.
