Planning the electrical installation

Note 7: Drives with an IGBT supply unit
If voltage is raised by the drive (this is a parameter selectable function), select the motor insulation 
system according to the increased intermediate circuit DC voltage level, especially in the 500 V supply 
voltage range.
Permanent magnet synchronous motor
Only one permanent magnet motor can be connected to the inverter output. 
It is recommended to install a safety switch between the permanent magnet 
synchronous motor and the drive output. The switch is needed to isolate the motor 
during any maintenance work on the drive.
Supply connection
Disconnecting device (disconnecting means)
ACS800-01, ACS800-U1, ACS800-11, ACS800-U11, ACS800-02, ACS800-U2 without 
enclosure extension, ACS800-04, ACS800-U4
Install a hand-operated input disconnecting device (disconnecting means) between 
the AC power source and the drive. The disconnecting device must be of a type that 
can be locked to the open position for installation and maintenance work.
ACS800-U2 with enclosure extension, ACS800-07 and ACS800-U7
These units are equipped with a hand-operated input disconnecting device 
(disconnecting means) which isolates the drive and the motor from the AC power as 
standard. The disconnecting device does not, however, isolate the input busbars 
from the AC power. Therefore, during installation and maintenance work on the 
drive, the input cables and busbars must be isolated from the input power with a 
disconnector at the distribution board or at the supplying transformer.
EU
To meet the European Union Directives, according to standard EN 60204-1, Safety 
of Machinery, the disconnecting device must be one of the following types:
• switch-disconnector of utilization category AC-23B (EN 60947-3)
• disconnector that has an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes switching 
devices to break the load circuit before the opening of the main contacts of the 
disconnector (EN 60947-3)
• circuit breaker suitable for isolation in accordance with EN 60947-2. 
US
The disconnecting means must conform to the applicable safety regulations.
