Frequency converter
Connection of the screening conductor shall be
made via an EMC approved union in the frequency
converter’s casing 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
frequency 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.

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 convert-
er by an installation engineer not provided by Fläkt
Woods.
The frequency converter and the motor must be
installed by a qualified electrician with good knowl-
edge 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 differenc-
es, the manufacturer’s instructions shall take prec-
edence over the following; this is due to the warranty
undertaking from the manufacturer.
General
The installation between the motor and the
frequency converter should be carried out using
screened, unbroken 4-wire cable intended for
EMC-installations for motor operations, the screen
shall have at least 80% optical density, for example,
Nexan’s NCY or Ölflex Classic. The screen shall have
360° contact with the casing both in the motor and in
the frequency converter to give the maximum contact
surface. 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 exam-
ple, Miltronic SKINTOP MS-SC. The screen conduc-
tor may only be connected via EMC unions, not to
earth bolts.
