Intended Use
This product is a drive for three-phase synchronous and asynchronous motors and intended for industrial
use according to this manual.The product may only be used in compliance with all applicable safety
regulations and directives, the specified requirements and the technical data.Prior to using the product, you
must perform a risk assessment in view of the planned application. Based on the results, the appropriate
safety measures must be implemented.Since the product is used as a component in an entire system, you
must ensure the safety of persons by means of the design of this entire system (for example, machine
design). Any use other than the use explicitly permitted is prohibited and can result in hazards. Electrical
equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel.
Product Related Information
Read and understand these instructions before performing any procedure with this drive.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
z Only appropriately trained persons who are familiar with and understand the contents of this manual
and all other pertinent product documentation and who have received safety training to recognize and
avoid hazards involved are authorized to work on and with this drive system. Installation, adjustment,
repair and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.
z The system integrator is responsible for compliance with all local and national electrical code
requirements as well as all other applicable regulations with respect to grounding of all equipment.
z Many components of the product, including the printed circuit boards, operate with mains voltage. Do
not touch. Use only electrically insulated tools.
z Do not touch unshielded components or terminals with voltage present.
z Motors can generate voltage when the shaft is rotated. Prior to performing any type of work on the
drive system, block the motor shaft to prevent rotation.
z AC voltage can couple voltage to unused conductors in the motor cable. Insulate both ends of unused
conductors of the motor cable.
z Do not short across the DC bus terminals or the DC bus capacitors or the braking resistor terminals.
z Before performing work on the drive system:
z Disconnect all power, including external control power that may be present.
z Place a Do Not Turn On label on all power switches.
z Lock all power switches in the open position.
z Wait 15 minutes to allow the DC bus capacitors to discharge. The DC bus LED is not an indicator
of the absence of DC bus voltage that can exceed 800 Vdc.
Measure the voltage on the DC bus between the DC bus terminals (PA/+, PC/-) using a properly
rated voltmeter to verify that the voltage is <42 Vdc
z If the DC bus capacitors do not discharge properly, contact your local Schneider Electric represen-
tative. Do not repair or operate the product.
z Install and close all covers before applying voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT
Drive systems may perform unexpected movements because of incorrect wiring, incorrect settings,
incorrect data or other errors.
z Carefully install the wiring in accordance with the EMC requirements.
z Do not operate the product with unknown or unsuitable settings or data.
z Perform a comprehensive commissioning test.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
