Installation of the frequency converter
Warning: Incorrect installation of the frequency
converter can damage the bearings in the motor.
It is Fläkt Woods' policy to only except claims when
the motor and frequency converter have been
supplied and installed by us.
Damage to the motor will not be accepted when the
motor has been connected to the frequency converter
by an installation engineer not provided by Fläkt Woods.
The frequency converter and the motor must be installed
by a qualified electrician with good knowledge of speed
regulated, drive system installations (frequency converters)
and EMC-safety.
The following recommendations should be seen as a
supplement to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
In those cases where there are differences, the
manufacturer's instructions shall take precedence over the
following; this is due to the warranty undertaking from the
manufacturer.
General
The installation between the motor and the frequency con-
verter should be carried out using screened, unbroken 4-
wire cable intended for EMC-installations for motor opera-
tions, the screen shall have at least 80% optical density, for
example, Nexan’s NCY or Ölflex Classic. The screen shall
have 360º contact with the casing both in the motor and in
the frequency converter to give the maximum contact sur-
face. Safety switches or connection boxes fitted between the
frequency converter and motor are not recommended.
Motor
The cable gland in the motor's outlet box should consist of
an EMC approved cable gland, for example, Miltronic
SKINTOP MS-SC. The screen conductor may only be
connected via EMC unions, not to earth bolts.
Frequency converter
Connection of the screening conductor shall be made via
an EMC approved union in the frequency converter's cas-
ing or by using a clamp intended for this purpose. The
screen conductor must not be connected to an earth bolt.
Connection of the screen conductor
In those cases the screen conductor must be connected to
an earth bolt in the motor or frequency converter, this
should be done so that the impedance is as low as possible,
in these cases, this conductor is limited in length to 5 times
its width. For example, when the screen conductor is 1 cm
wide it must not be longer than 5 cm.
Diverse
Besides this, the following should be observed:
•type of mains supply.
•local regulations and provisions.
•the manufacturer's installation instructions for the fre-
quency converter.
Outputs over 22 kW
In the event of outputs over 22 kW, a symmetrical
screened cable with concentric or in some other way
symmetrically designed protective earth conductor
should be used, please refer to the installation instruc-
tions for the frequency converter for recommendations
concerning these installations.
