Earthing and earth fault protection
The Vacon NXL frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected
to the earthing terminal
.
The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects only the converter itself against
earth faults in the motor or the motor cable.
Due to the high capacitive currents present in the frequency converter, fault current protective
switches may not function properly. If fault current protective switches are used they must be tested
with the drive with earth fault currents that are possible to arise in fault situations.

MOTOR RUN CHECK LIST
1
Before starting the motor, check that the motor is mounted properly and
ensure that the machine connected to the motor allows the motor to be
started.
2
Set the maximum motor speed (frequency) according to the motor and
the machine connected to it.
3
Before reversing the motor shaft rotation direction make sure that this
can be done safely.
4
Make sure that no power correction capacitors are connected to the
motor cable.
5
Make sure that the motor terminals are not connected to mains
potential.
