Technical Data
Motor Connections
Warning! Never connect line power to the drive output terminals: U2, V2 or W2.
Line voltage applied to the output can result in permanent damage to the unit.
If frequent bypassing is required, use mechanically interlocked switches or
contactors.
Warning! Do not connect any motor with a nominal voltage less than one half
of the drive’s nominal input voltage.
Warning! Disconnect the drive before conducting any voltage tolerance (Hi-
Pot) test or insulation resistance (Megger) test on the motor or motor cables.
Do not conduct these tests on the drive.
Motor Connection Specifications
Ground Fault Protection
ACS550 internal fault logic detects ground faults in the drive, motor, or motor cable.
This fault logic:
• Is NOT a personal safety or fire protection feature.
• Can be disabled using parameter 3017 EARTH FAULT.
• Could be tripped by leakage currents (input power to ground) associated with
long high capacitance motor cables.
