0.5 Mains supply voltages
The rated operating voltages stated in the following table are based on the 
standard values for networks with a grounded star point.
In ring networks (as found in Europe) the rated operating voltage at the 
transfer point of the power supply companies is the same as the value in the 
consumer networks (e.g. 230 V, 400 V).
In star networks (as found in North America), the rated operating voltage at 
the transfer point of the utility companies is higher than in the consumer 
network. 
Example: 120 V  115 V, 240 V  230 V, 480 V  460 V.
The DC1 variable frequency drive's wide tolerance range takes into account a 
permissible voltage drop of 10% (i.e. U
LN
- 10%) while, in the 400-V cate-
gory, it takes into account the
 
North American
 
mains voltage of
 
480 V + 10 % 
(60 Hz).
The permissible power supply for the DC1 series is listed in the Technical 
Specifications section in the annex.
The rated mains voltage operational data is always based on mains frequen-
cies of 50/60 Hz within a range of 48 to 62 Hz.
0.6 Units of measurement
Every physical dimension included in this manual uses international metric 
system units, otherwise known as SI (Système International d’Unités) units. 
For the purpose of the equipment's UL certification, some of these dimen-
sions are accompanied by their equivalents in imperial units.
