The plugs for connecting the line supply,
motor, and braking resistor can be found on
the lower side of the inverter.
This equipment is capable of providing internal motor overload protection according to
UL508C. Take the following actions In order to comply with UL508C:
● Use UL/CSA-certified J-type fuses, overload circuit-breakers or intrinsically safe motor
protection devices.
● For each frame size A to C use class 1 75° C copper wire only.
● Install the converter with any external recommended suppressor with the following
features:
– Surge-protective devices; device shall be a Listed Surge-protective device (Category
code VZCA and VZCA7).
– Rated nominal voltage 480/277 V
AC
, 50/60 Hz, 3-phase.
– Clamping voltage V
PR
= 2000 V, I
N
= 3 kA min, MCOV = 508 V
AC
, SCCR = 40 kA.
– Suitable for Type 1 or Type 2 SPD application.
– Clamping shall be provided between phases and also between phase and ground.
● Do not change the parameter p0610 (factory setting of p0610 = 12 means: the drive
reacts on a motor overtemperature with an immediate alarm and after a certain time with
a fault).
