Safety instructions
What this chapter contains
This chapter contains the safety instructions which you must follow when installing,
operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or
damage may occur to the drive, the motor or driven equipment. Read the safety
instructions before you work on the unit.
To which products this chapter applies
This chapter applies to the DCS800-EP... Size D1 to D4.
Use of warnings and notes
There are two types of safety instructions throughout this manual: warnings and
notes. Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or
death and/or damage to the equipment. They also tell you how to avoid the danger.
Notes draw attention to a particular condition or fact, or give information on a
subject. The warning symbols are used as follows:
Dangerous voltage warning warns of high voltage which can cause physical
injury and/or damage to the equipment.
General warning warns about conditions, other than those caused by
electricity, which can result in physical injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Electrostatic discharge warning warns of electrostatic discharge which can
damage the equipment.
Installation and maintenance work
These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive, motor cable or motor.
Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain the drive.
• Never work on the drive, motor cable or motor when main power is applied.
• Always ensure by measuring with a multimeter (impedance at least 1 Mohm) that:
1. Voltage between drive input phases U1, V1 and W1 and the frame is close to
0V.
2. Voltage between terminals C1 and D1 and the frame is close to 0 V.
• Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the
external control circuits. Externally supplied control circuits may cause dangerous
voltages inside the drive even when the main power on the drive is switched off.

DCS800-EP Installation and Start-Up Manual 3
• Do not make any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive or drive
modules.
• When reconnecting the motor cable, always check that the C1 and D1 terminal is
correct.
Note:
• The motor cable terminals on the drive are at a dangerously high voltage when
the input power is on, regardless of whether the motor is running or not.
• Depending on the external wiring, dangerous voltages (115 V, 220 V or 230 V)
may be present on the terminals of relay outputs SDCS-IOB-2, RDIO.
• DCS800 with enclosure extension: Before working on the drive, isolate the whole
drive from the supply.
Grounding
WARNING! Printed circuit boards contain components sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Wear a grounding wrist band when handling the
boards. Do not touch the boards unnecessarily.
These instructions are intended for all who are responsible for the grounding of the
drive. Incorrect grounding can cause physical injury, death or equipment malfunction
and increase electromagnetic interference.
• Ground the drive, motor and adjoining equipment to ensure personnel safety in all
circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and pick-up.
• Make sure that grounding conductors are adequately sized as required by safety
regulations.
• In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to protective earth
(PE).
• Minimize EMC emission and make a 360° high frequency grounding of screened
cable entries at the cabinet lead-through.
• Do not install a drive with EMC filter on an ungrounded power system or a high
resistance-grounded (over 30 ohms) power system.
Note:
• Power cable shields are suitable for equipment grounding conductors only when
adequately sized to meet safety regulations.
• As the normal leakage current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC
(stated by EN 50178, 5.2.11.1), a fixed protective earth connection is required.

Fiber optic cables
WARNING! Handle the fiber optic cables with care. When unplugging optic
cables, always grab the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends
of the fibers with bare hands as the fiber is extremely sensitive to dirt. The
minimum allowed bend radius is 35 mm (1.4 in.).
Mechanical installation
These notes are intended for all who install the drive. Handle the unit carefully to
avoid damage and injury.
• DCS800-EP Frames A and B: The drives are heavy and may require more than
one person to lift. Use appropriate lifting techniques. Do not lift the unit by the
front cover. Place the unit only on its back.
• DCS800-EP Frames C and D: The drive is heavy. Lift the drive by the lifting lugs
only.
• Make sure that dust from drilling does not enter the drive when installing.
Electrically conductive dust inside the unit may cause damage or lead to
malfunction.
• Ensure sufficient cooling.
• Do not fasten the drive by riveting or welding.

DCS800-EP Installation and Start-Up Manual 5
Operation
These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation of the drive or operate
the drive. Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death or damage the
equipment.
• Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure that the motor
and all driven equipment are suitable for operation throughout the speed range
provided by the drive. The drive can be adjusted to operate the motor at speeds
above and below the base speed.
• Do not activate automatic fault reset functions of the Standard Application
Program if dangerous situations can occur. When activated, these functions will
reset the drive and resume operation after a fault.
• Do not control the motor with the disconnecting device (disconnecting switch);
instead, use the control panel keys and , or commands via the I/O board of the
drive.
•Mains connection
You can use a switch disconnect in the power supply of the thyristor power
converter to disconnect the electrical components of the unit from the power
supply for installation and maintenance work. The type of disconnect used must
be a switch disconnect as per EN 60947-3, Class B, so as to comply with EU
regulations, or a circuit-breaker type which switches off the load circuit by means
of an auxiliary contact causing the breaker’s main contacts to open. The mains
disconnect must be locked in its “OPEN” position during any installation and
maintenance work.
• EMERGENCY STOP buttons must be installed at each control desk and at all
other control panels requiring an emergency stop function. Pressing the STOP
button on the control panel of the thyristor power converter will neither cause an
emergency motor stop, nor will the drive be disconnected from any dangerous
potential.
To avoid unintentional operating states, or to shut the unit down in case of any
imminent danger, according to the standards in the safety instructions it is not
sufficient to merely shut down the drive via signals “RUN”, “Drive OFF” or
“Emergency Stop” with “Control Panel” or “PC Tool”.
•Intended use
The operating instructions cannot take into consideration every possible system
configuration, operation or maintenance. Thus, they mainly give such advice only,
which is required by qualified personnel for normal operation of the machines and
devices in industrial installations.
If in special cases the electrical machines and devices are intended for use in
non-industrial installations - which may require stricter safety regulations (e.g.
protection against contact by children or similar). These additional safety
measures for the installation must be provided by the customer during assembly.
Note:
When the control location is not set to Local (L not shown in the PC tool status row),
the Stop key on the control panel WILL NOT stop the drive.

14 DCS800-EP Installation and Start-Up Manual
Planning the electrical installation
What this chapter contains
This chapter contains the instructions for selecting the cables, cable routing and line
reactors for the drive panel. Always follow local regulations.
Note: If the recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may
experience problems that are not necessarily covered by the warranty.
Reference: Technical Guide – publ. no.: 3ADW000163
Options for the drive
Line reactors
When thyristor power converters operate, the line voltage is short-circuited during
commutation from one thyristor to the next. This operation causes voltage dips in the
mains PCC (point of common coupling). Some ACS800-EP Panel Drives are
shipped with an internal 1.5% line reactor and some are not (as indicated by the
drive’s Plus Code). For the connection of a power converter system to the mains,
one of the following configurations should be applied:
Configuration A
When using the power converter, a minimum of impedance is required to
ensure proper performance of the snubber circuit. A line reactor can be
used to meet this minimum impedance requirement. The value must
therefore not drop below 1% uk(relative impedance voltage). It should
not exceed 10% uk, due to considerable voltage drops at converter
output.
Configuration B
If special requirements have to be met at the PCC (standards like EN
61800-3, DC and AC drives at the same line, etc), different criteria must be
applied for selecting a line reactor. These requirements are often defined
as a voltage dip in percent of the nominal supply voltage. The combined
impedance of ZLine and ZL1 constitute the total series impedance of the
installation. The ratio between the line impedance and the line reactor
impedance determines the voltage dip at the connecting point. In such
cases line chokes with an impedance around 4% are often used.
Example calculation with Uk Line=1%; Uk L1=4%; Voltage Dip = ZLine/
(ZLine+ZL1)=20%. Detailed calculation see Technical Guide.

Line reactors (cont)
Configuration C
If an isolation transformer is used, it is possible to comply with certain
connecting conditions per Configuration B without using an additional line
reactor. The condition described in Configuration A will then likewise be
satisfied, since the ukis >1 %.
Configuration C1
If 2 or more converters are supplied by one transformer, the
final configuration depends on the number of drives in use
and their power capability.
Either configuration A or B (which are based on commutation
chokes) has to be used, if the drive system consists of any of
the converters (D1, D2, D3, D4.)
With reference to the power converter:
The line reactors are listed in the table on page 30. They:
• have been sized to the units nominal current
• are based on a duty cycle

Typical cable sizing and tightening torque
Based on U.S. NEC Table 310.16. No more than three current carrying conductors per raceway.
Maximum Ambient Temperature - 40°C, Conductor Temperature Rating - 75°C except where noted.
The minimum ground cable recommendation assumes that the overcurrent protection for each drive is selected to
provide protection at 125% of the rated drive input current. If the overcurrent protection (e.g. circuit breaker) is sized larger
than this, then larger ground cables will need to be determined manually.

Electrical installation
What this chapter contains
This chapter describes the electrical installation procedure of the drive.
WARNING! The work described in this chapter may only be carried out by a
qualified electrician. Follow the Safety instructions on the first pages of this
manual. Ignoring the safety instructions can cause injury or death.
Make sure that the drive is disconnected from the mains (input power) during
installation. If the drive was already connected to the mains, wait for 5 min.
after disconnecting mains power.
Reference: Technical Guide - publ. no.: 3ADW000163
Checking the insulation of the assembly
Each drive is factory tested for insulation between the main circuit and the chassis
(2500 V rms 50 Hz for 1 second). DO NOT make any voltage tolerance or insulation
resistance tests (e.g. hi-pot or megger) on any part of the drive or drive damage will
occur. Check the insulation of the assembly as follows.
WARNING! Check the insulation before connecting the drive to the mains.
Make sure that the drive is disconnected from the mains (input power).
1. Check that the motor cable is disconnected from the drive output
terminals C1, D1, F+ and F-.
2. Measure the insulation resistances of the motor cable and the motor
between each circuit (C1, D1) or (F+, F-) and the Protective Earth by using
a measuring voltage of 1 kV DC. The insulation resistance must be higher
than 1 Mohm.
