Connecting/Commissioning the Optional Purge-air Unit
‡ Compare the supply voltage and frequency with those specified on the rating plate of the
purge-air motor.
Important
Do not connect the purge-air unit if the values do not match.
‡ Connect the power supply cable to the terminals on the purge-air motor (see supplemen-
tary sheet on purge-air motor and cover of motor terminal box; see the connection arran-
gement shown in Fig. 3.20).
‡ Connect a protective conductor to the terminal.
‡ Set the motor circuit-breakers in accordance with the connection data of the fan (see
technical data of purge-air unit) to a value 10% greater than the rated current.
‡ Check the functioning and running direction of the fan (flow direction of the purge-air unit
must match the arrows at the inlet and outlet openings on the fan). If the direction of run-
ning on 3-phase motors is incorrect, swap power connections L1 and L2.
‡ Connect the (optional) pressure monitor for monitoring the purge-air supply.
Important
‡ Use a fail-safe power supply (emergency power supply, bar with redundant supply)
‡ The purge-air unit must be fused separately from the other system components. The fuse
type must match the rated current (see technical details of purge-air unit). Fuse each
phase separately. Provide circuit-breakers to protect against a phase failure on one side.
If you are in doubt, or if you are using a special motor version, the operating instructions sup-
plied with the motor should take priority over any other information.
