14      UL information
Mentor MP frame size 1 drives have been assessed to comply with both 
ULus and cUL requirements.
Control Techniques UL file number is E171230. Confirmation of UL 
listing can be found at website: www.ul.com
14.1      Common UL Information
Conformity: The drive conforms to UL listing requirements only when the 
following are observed:
1. The drive is installed in a type 1 enclosure, or better as defined in UL 
50.
2. The ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C when the drive is 
operating.
3. The terminal torques specified in section 3.9.3 Torque settings on 
page 30 are to be used.
4. The power terminal lug used to crimp the, I/P & O/P cables are to be 
UL listed.
5. The drive is to be installed in to a pollution degree 2 environment.
6. If the drive control stage is supplied by an external power supply, 
(+24V), the external power supply must be a UL class 2 power 
supply.
7. Fuses sized as specified in the various tables in Chapter 4 Electrical 
installation on page 32 are to be used. Fusing is to incorporate a 
Class J fuse in line with a semiconductor fuse as specified.
8. Field wiring is to be class 1 75°C (167°F) copper wire only.
Motor overload protection
All models incorporate an internal overload protection model for the 
motor load that does not require the use of an external or remote 
overload protection device. 
The protection level is adjustable, and the method of adjustment is 
provided with the instructions for the product. 
Maximum current overload is dependant on the values entered into the 
current limit parameters (motoring current limit, regen current limit and 
symmetrical current limit entered as percentage) and the motor rated 
current parameter (entered in amperes). 
The duration of the overload is dependant on motor thermal time 
constant (variable up to a maximum of 3000 seconds). The default 
overload protection is set such that the product is capable of 150% of the 
current value entered into the motor rated current parameter (Pr 5.07 
(SE07, 0.28)) for 30 seconds (20 seconds for MP470A4(R), 
MP470A5(R), MP825A5(R) and MP825A6(R). The product also 
provides user terminal default functionality such that the product can be 
connected to a motor thermistor to protect the motor in terms of 
temperature, in the event of a motor cooling fan failure. 
Over speed protection
The drive provides overspeed protection. However it does not provide 
the level of protection afforded by an independent high integrity 
overspeed protection device.
14.2      AC supply specification 
The maximum UL supply voltage is 600Vac.
The drive is suitable for use in a circuit capable of delivering not more 
than 100,000rms symmetrical Amperes at 575V (size 1A and 1B).
14.3      Maximum continuous output current
The drive models are listed as having the maximum continuous output 
currents (FLC) shown in section 2.1 Ratings on page 6. 
14.4      Safety label
The safety label supplied with connectors and mounting brackets must 
be placed on a fixed part of the drive enclosure where it can be seen 
clearly by maintenance personnel for UL compliance.
The label clearly states "CAUTION risk of electric shock power down at 
least 10 minutes before removing cover".
