2.1.2 General Warning
WARNING
Warning
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the
equipment has been disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been
disconnected, (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well
as the motor connection for kinetic back-up.
Before touching any potentially live parts of the frequency
converter, wait at least as follows:
380-480 V, 160-250 kW, wait at least 20 minutes.
380-480 V, 315-710 kW, wait at least 40 minutes.
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate
for the specific unit. Be aware that there may be high
voltage on the DC links even when the Control Card LEDs
are turned off. A red LED is mounted on a circuit board
inside both the frequency converter and the active filter to
indicate the DC bus voltages. The red LED will stay lit until
the DC link is 50 V DC or lower.
WARNING
Leakage Current
The earth leakage current from the frequency converter
exceeds 3.5 mA. According to IEC 61800-5-1 a reinforced
Protective Earth connection must be ensured with a min.
10 mm
2
Cu or 16 mm
2
Al PE-wire or an addtional PE wire -
with the same cable cross section as the Mains wiring -
must be terminated separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause a DC current in the protective
conductor. Where a residual current device (RCD) is used
for extra protection, only an RCD of Type B (time delayed)
shall be used on the supply side of this product. See also
RCD Application Note MN90GX02.
Protective earthing of the frequency converter and the use
of RCDs must always follow national and local regulations.
2.1.3
Before Commencing Repair Work
1. Disconnect the frequency converter from mains
2. Disconnect DC bus terminals 88 and 89
3.
Wait at least the time mentioned in 2.1.2 General
Warning
2.1.4
Special Conditions
Electrical ratings
The rating indicated on the nameplate of the frequency
converter is based on a typical 3-phase mains power
supply, within the specified voltage, current and
temperature range, which is expected to be used in most
applications.
The frequency converters also support other special
applications, which affect the electrical ratings of the
frequency converter. Special conditions which affect the
electrical ratings might be:
•
Single phase applications
•
High temperature applications which require
derating of the electrical ratings
•
Marine applications with more severe environ-
mental conditions.
Consult the relevant clauses in these instructions and in
the Design Guide for information about the electrical
ratings.
Installation requirements
The overall electrical safety of the frequency converter
requires special installation considerations regarding:
•
Fuses and circuit breakers for over-current and
short-circuit protection
•
Selection of power cables (mains, motor, brake,
loadsharing and relay)
•
Grid configuration (IT,TN, grounded leg, etc.)
•
Safety of low-voltage ports (PELV conditions).
Consult the relevant clauses in these instructions and in
the Design Guide for information about the installation
requirements.
2.1.5
Avoid Unintended Start
WARNING
While the frequency converter is connected to mains, the
motor can be started/stopped using digital commands, bus
commands, references or via the Local Control Panel.
•
Disconnect the frequency converter from mains
whenever personal safety considerations make it
necessary to avoid unintended start.
•
To avoid unintended start, always activate the
[Off] key before changing parameters.
•
Unless terminal 37 is turned off, an electronic
fault, temporary overload, a fault in the mains
supply, or lost motor connection may cause a
stopped motor to start.
2.1.6
Safe Stop Installation
To carry out an installation of a Category 0 Stop
(EN60204) in conformity with Safety Category 3 (EN954-1),
follow these instructions:
1. The bridge (jumper) between Terminal 37 and 24
V DC must be removed. Cutting or breaking the
jumper is not sufficient. Remove it entirely to
