￭ Identifying the grounding system of the electrical power network
WARNING!
Only a qualified electrical professional may do the work instructed in this section.
Depending on the installation site, the work may even be categorized as live
working. Continue only if you are an electrical professional certified for the work.
Obey the local regulations. If you ignore them, injury or death can occur.
To identify the grounding system, examine the supply transformer connection. See the
applicable electrical diagrams of the building. If that is not possible, measure these
voltages at the distribution board, and use the table to define the grounding system
type.
1. input voltage line to line (U
L-L
)
2. input voltage line 1 to ground (U
L1-G
)
3. input voltage line 2 to ground (U
L2-G
)
4. input voltage line 3 to ground (U
L3-G
).
The table below shows the line-to-ground voltages in relation to the line-to-line voltage
for each grounding system.

Extra screws to configure the drive for different networks are provided in the drive
shipment.
To disconnect the internal EMC filter or ground-to-phase varistor, if needed (see page
166), do as follows:
1. Switch off the power from the drive.
2.
Open the front cover, if not already opened, see page 174.
