M-Max Series Overview
16 M-Max Series Adjustable Frequency Drive MN04020003E—October 2013 www.eaton.com
Proper Use
The M-Max frequency inverters are not domestic appliances.
They are designed only for industrial use as system
components.
The M-Max frequency inverters are electrical apparatus for
controlling variable speed drives with three-phase motors.
They are designed for installation in machines or for use in
combination with other components within a machine or
system.
After installation in a machine, the frequency inverters must
not be taken into operation until the associated machine has
been confirmed to comply with the safety requirements of
Machinery Safety Directive (MSD) 89/392/EEC (meets the
requirements of EN 60204). The user of the equipment is
responsible for ensuring that the machine use complies with
the relevant EU Directives.
The CE markings on the M-MAX frequency inverter confirm
that, when used in a typical drive configuration, the apparatus
complies with the European Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and
the EMC Directives (Directive 73/23/EEC, as amended by
93/68/EEC and Directive 89/336/EEC, as amended by
93/68/EEC).
In the described system configurations, M-Max frequency
inverters are suitable for use in public and non-public
networks.
A connection to IT networks (networks without reference to
earth potential) is permissible only to a limited extent,
because the device’s built-in filter capacitors connect the
network with the earth potential (enclosure). On earth free
networks, this can lead to dangerous situations or damage to
the device (isolation monitoring required).
To the output of the frequency inverter (terminals U, V, W)
you must not:
●
connect a voltage or capacitive loads (for example, phase
compensation capacitors)
●
connect multiple frequency inverters in parallel
●
make a direct connection to the input (bypass)
Observe the technical data and connection requirements. For
additional information, refer to the equipment nameplate or
label at the frequency inverter, and the documentation.
Any other usage constitutes improper use.
Maintenance and Inspection
Provided that the general rating data (see “Nameplate Rating
Data” on Page 6) and the special technical data (see “Special
Technical Data” on Page 142) of the ratings concerned are
observed, the M-Max frequency inverters are maintenance
free. However, external influences may affect the function
and the lifespan of the M-Max frequency inverter. We
therefore recommend that the devices are checked regularly
and the following maintenance measures are carried out at
the specified intervals.
There are no plans for replacing or repairing individual
components of M-Max frequency inverters.
If the M-Max frequency inverter is damaged by external
influences, repair is not possible. Dispose of the device in
accordance with the respectively applicable environmental
laws and provisions for the disposal of electrical or electronic
devices.
Maintenance Measures and Intervals
Maintenance Measure Maintenance Interval
Clean cooling vents (cooling slits) If required
Check the fan function 6–24 months (depending on the environment)
Filter in the switching cabinet doors (see manufacturer specifications) 6–24 months (depending on the environment)
Check the tightening torques of the terminals (control signal terminals, power terminals) Regularly
Check connection terminals and all metallic surfaces for corrosion 6–24 months (depending on the environment)
Charge capacitors 12 months, see “Charging DC Link Capacitors” on Page 17
