28 Rockwell Automation Publication 750-IN100B-EN-P - July 2017
Chapter 3 Prepare for Installation
• PowerFlex 755T products generate harmonic current emissions on the 
AC supply system. When operated on a public low-voltage network it is 
the responsibility of the installer or user to ensure that applicable 
requirements of the distribution network operator have been met. 
Consultation with the network operator and Rockwell Automation can 
be necessary.
Installation Requirements Related to EN 61800-5-1 and the Low 
Voltage Directive
• Voltage classes up to 690V PowerFlex 755T products are compliant with 
the CE LVD when used on a ‘corner-earthed’ supply system and all 
other common grounded supply systems for altitudes up to and 
including 2000 m (6562 ft).
• When used at altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft) up to a maximum of 
4800 m (15,748 ft), PowerFlex 755T products of voltage classes up to 
480V cannot be powered from a ‘corner-earthed’ supply system to 
maintain compliance with the CE LVD. Altitude derating curves are 
provided in the PowerFlex 750-Series Products with TotalFORCE 
Control Technical Data, publication 750-TD100
.
• Drives that are provided in the IP54, UL Type 12 enclosure are 
compliant with the CE LVD when installed in pollution degree 1…4 
environments where no gaseous contaminants are present. All other 
enclosure types must be installed in a pollution degree 1 or 2 
environment to be compliant with the CE LVD. Characteristics of the 
different pollution degree ratings are provided in the PowerFlex 750-
Series Products with TotalFORCE Control Technical Data, publication 
750-TD100
.
• PowerFlex 755T products produce leakage current in the protective 
earthing conductor that exceeds 3.5 mA AC and/or 10 mA DC. The 
minimum size of the protective earthing (grounding) conductor that is 
used in the application must comply with local safety regulations for 
high-protective earthing conductor current equipment.
ATTENTION: PowerFlex 755T products produce DC current in the 
protective earthing conductor which can reduce the ability of RCDs 
(residual current-operated protective devices) or RCMs (residual 
current-operated monitoring devices) of type A or AC to provide 
protection for other equipment in the installation. Where an RCD or 
RCM is used for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, only an 
RCD or RCM of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this product.
IMPORTANT PowerFlex 755T products meet Performance Criteria ‘C’ as defined in 
Table 1 of IEC 61800-3. When exposed to individual order harmonics 
per Table 24 of IEC 61800-3 (second environment) the drive will 
shutdown in a safe condition.
