11.3 Motor Contactor or Shorting Contactor Examples
The following congurations are intended as examples on providing a manual motor disconnect or a power off fail safe
shorting contactor. These approaches can be used independent of the drive starting mode or reference source and are not
tied directly to the drive controller. Figure 11-3 depicts the preferred usage of a shorting contactor and a motor disconnect
when used with the ACS880+N5350 drive.
11.3.1 Manual Motor Disconnect Switch
The motor disconnect should be located remotely from the drive panel, within site of the direct drive RPM AC motor and
driven load. This is in compliance with National Electric Code Sections 420.102 to 430.109. The switch should only be
shorted after the ACS880+N5350 drive has been powered down or de-activated by opening the enable input.
11.3.2 Shorting Contactor
The intent of the Shorting Contactor is to provide one position (open) that is used when the fan is being run by the
ACS880+N5350. This is the normal power on state. The other power off position (closed) shorts the motor leads together.
For both the options, the position that shorts the leads together is used to prohibit hazardous voltages from being present
on the motor leads when it is disconnected from the drive should the fan rotate. This could occur since the motor includes
permanent magnets in its rotor thus giving it the characteristics of being a generator when not connected to a drive. Another
benet of this position is that it will cause the motor to resist wind-milling.
