10 ACS550 User’s Manual
Installation
Second Environment includes establishments other than those directly connected
to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes.
C-Tick Marking (pending as of publication date)
A C-tick mark is attached to the ACS550 AC drive to verify that the drive follows the
provisions of the Australian Statuary Rules No 294, 1996, Radio communication
(Compliance Labelling - Incidental Emissions) Notice and the Radio communication
Act, 1989, and the Radio communication Regulations, 1993, of New Zealand.
The statutory rules define the essential requirements for emissions of electrical
equipment used in Australia and New Zealand. The standard AS/NZS 2064, 1997,
Limits and methods of measurement of electronic disturbance characteristics of
industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio frequency equipment, covers the
detailed requirements for three-phase drives, such as the ACS550 drive.
ACS550 drives comply with the AS/NZS 2064, 1997, limits for class A equipment.
Class A equipment is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and
those directly connected to a low voltage network which supplies buildings used for
domestic purposes. The compliance is valid with the following provisions:
• The motor and control cables are chosen as specified in this manual.
• The installation rules of this manual are followed.
Cabling Instructions
Keep individual un-screened wires between the cable clamps and the screw
terminals as short as possible. Route control cables away from power cables.
Input Power (Mains) Cable
A four conductor cable (three phases and ground/protective earth) is recommended
for the input power cabling. Shielding is not necessary. Dimension the cables and
fuses in accordance with the input current. Always pay attention to local codes when
sizing the cables and fuses.
The input power connectors are at the bottom of the drive. Input power cable routing
must be done so that the distance from the sides of the drive is at least 20 cm (8 in)
to avoid excessive radiation to the input power cable. In the case of shielded cable,
twist the cable screen wires together into a bundle not longer than five times its width
and connect to the PE terminal of the drive. (Or PE terminal of input filter, if present.)
Line current harmonics
The ACS550 is professional equipment to be used in trades, professions, or
industries, and is not intended for sale to the general public. The current harmonic
levels under rated load conditions are available on request.
Motor Cable
Minimum Requirement (CE & C-Tick)
The motor cable must be a symmetrical three conductor cable with a concentric PE
conductor or a four conductor cable with a concentric shield, however, a symmetrical
