Planning the electrical
installation
Contents of this chapter
This chapter contains instructions for planning the electrical installation of the drive,
for example, for checking the compatibility of the motor and drive, selecting cables,
protections and cable routing.
WARNING! Installation must be designed and done according to the
applicable local laws and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability
whatsoever for any installation which breaches the local laws and/or other
regulations.
If recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience
problems that the warranty does not cover.
Checking the compatibility of the motor and drive
Use an asynchronous AC induction motor or a permanent magnet motor with the
drive. Make sure that the motor and the drive are compatible according to the Drive
specifications on page 319. The specification lists the typical motor power for each
drive type.
