Safety 5

1. Safety

Safety in installation and maintenance

These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive, motor cable or motor.

Electrical safety

WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or

death, or damage to the equipment.

• Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain the drive!

• Never work on the drive, motor cable or motor when input power is applied. After

disconnecting the input power, always wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate

circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the drive, motor or motor

cable.

Always make sure by measuring with a multimeter (impedance at least 1 Mohm)

that there is no voltage between the drive input phases U1, V1 and W1 and the

ground.

• Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the

external control circuits. Externally supplied control circuits may carry dangerous

voltage even when the input power of the drive is switched off.

• Do not make any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive.

• Disconnect the internal EMC filter when installing the drive on an IT system (an

ungrounded power system or a high-resistance-grounded [over 30 ohms] power

system), otherwise the system will be connected to ground potential through the

EMC filter capacitors. This may cause danger or damage the drive. See page 17.

Note: When the internal EMC filter is disconnected, the drive is not EMC

compatible.

• Disconnect the internal EMC filter when installing the drive on a corner-grounded

TN system, otherwise the drive will be damaged. See page 17.

Note: When the internal EMC filter is disconnected, the drive is not EMC

compatible.

• All ELV (extra low voltage) circuits connected to the drive must be used within a

zone of equipotential bonding, in other words, within a zone where all

simultaneously accessible conductive parts are electrically connected to prevent

hazardous voltages appearing between them. This is accomplished by a proper

factory grounding.

6 Safety

Note:

• Even when the motor is stopped, dangerous voltage is present at the power

circuit terminals U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2.

• For more technical information, contact the factory or your local ABB sales

representative.

General safety

WARNING! If you ignore the safety instructions, injury or death can occur. If

you are not a qualified electrician, do not do electrical work.

• Never attempt to repair a malfunctioning drive. Contact your local ABB

representative or Authorized Service Center for service support.

• Make sure that dust from drilling does not enter the drive during the installation.

Electrically conductive dust inside the drive may cause damage or lead to

malfunction.

• Make sure of sufficient cooling.

Safe start-up and operation

These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation, start up or operate the

drive.

General safety

WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or

death, or damage to the equipment.

• Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure that the motor and

all driven equipment are suitable for operation throughout the speed range

provided by the drive. The drive can be adjusted to operate the motor at speeds

above and below the speed provided by connecting the motor directly to the

power line.

• Do not activate automatic fault reset functions if dangerous situations can occur.

When activated, these functions will reset the drive and resume operation after a

fault.

• Do not control the motor with an AC contactor or disconnecting device

(disconnecting means). Use the control panel start and stop keys and or

external commands (I/O or fieldbus). The maximum number of charging cycles

allowed with the DC capacitors (i.e power-ups by applying power) is two per

minute and the maximum total number of chargings is 15 000.

Safety 7

Note:

• If an external source is selected for start command, and it is ON, the drive starts

immediately after an input voltage break or fault reset unless the drive is

configured for 3-wire (a pulse) start/stop.

• When the control location is not set to local (LOC not shown on the display), the

stop key on the control panel will not stop the drive. To stop the drive using the

control panel, press the LOC/REM key and then press the stop key .
