ACH580-01 Installation
Checking the compatibility with IT (ungrounded) and corner-grounded TN systems (North 
America)
WARNING! If the drive will be connected on an IT system (ungrounded or high-
resistance-grounded [over 30 ohms]), make sure that neither the EMC filter nor 
the ground-to-phase varistor are connected, that is, the metal screws must not be 
installed.
If the drive will be connected on a corner-grounded TN system, make sure that the 
EMC filter is not connected, that is, the metal screws must not be installed. 
Connections with metal screws in these systems can cause danger or damage.
EMC filter
The AC and DC EMC filters are not suitable for use on an IT (ungrounded) system or 
on a corner-grounded TN system. UL (NEC) drives are shipped with a plastic screw 
installed to disconnect the internal DC EMC (electro-magnetic compatibility) filter. 
Disconnect the AC EMC filter by removing the metal screw before connecting the 
drive to the supply network. On symmetrically-grounded TN systems (TN-S) where 
EMC is a concern, the installed DC EMC plastic screw can be replaced with the 
provided metal screw to connect the filter. See the table on page 18. EMC screw 
location(s) are labeled on the drive.
Note: When the internal EMC filter is disconnected, the drive EMC compatibility is 
considerably reduced.
