Implementing a bypass connection
If bypassing is required, employ mechanically or electrically interlocked contactors between
the motor and the drive and between the motor and the power line. Make sure with
interlocking that the contactors cannot be closed simultaneously. The installation must be
clearly marked as defined in IEC/EN 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, “THIS
MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY”.
Bypass connection is available as a factory-installed option for some cabinet-installed drive
types. Consult ABB for more information.
WARNING!
Never connect the drive output to the electrical power network. The connection
may damage the drive.
Protecting the contacts of relay outputs
Inductive loads (relays, contactors, motors) cause voltage transients when switched off.
Install the protective component as close to the inductive load as possible. Do not install
protective components at the relay outputs.
