Additional instructions and notes
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you
ignore them, injury or death, or damage to
the equipment can occur.
• A drive with the EMC filter connected can be
installed to a symmetrically grounded TN-S
system. If you install the drive to another
system, check if you must disconnect the
EMC filter. See sections When to disconnect
EMC filter or ground-to-phase varistor:
TN-S, IT, Corner-grounded delta, and
Midpoint-grounded delta systems on page
15 and Guidelines for installing the drive to a
TT system on page 16.
WARNING! Do not install the drive with
the EMC filter connected to a system
that the filter is not suitable for. This can
cause danger, or damage the drive.
Note: When the internal EMC filter is
disconnected, the drive EMC compatibility is
considerably reduced. See section
Checking the compatibility of EMC filters
with IT (ungrounded), Corner-grounded
delta, Midpoint-grounded delta, and TT
systems on page 14 and Maximum
recommended motor cable length on page
17.
• A drive with the ground-to-phase varistor
connected can be installed to a
symmetrically grounded TN-S system. If you
install the drive to another system, check if
you must disconnect the varistor. See
sections When to disconnect EMC filter or
ground-to-phase varistor: TN-S, IT,
Corner-grounded delta, and
Midpoint-grounded delta systems on page
15 and Guidelines for installing the drive to a
TT system on page 16.
WARNING! Do not install the drive with
the ground-to-phase varistor
connected to a system that the varistor is
not suitable for. If you do, the varistor circuit
can be damaged.
• Use all ELV (extra low voltage) circuits
connected to the drive only within a zone of
equipotential bonding, that is, within a zone
where all simultaneously accessible
conductive parts are electrically connected
to prevent hazardous voltages appearing
between them. You can accomplish this by a
proper factory grounding, that is, make sure
that all simultaneously accessible
conductive parts are grounded to the
protective earth (PE) bus of the building.
WARNING! Do not do insulation or
voltage withstand tests on the drive or
drive modules.
Note:
• The motor cable terminals of the drive are at
a dangerous voltage when the input power
is on, regardless of whether the motor is
running or not.
• The DC terminals (UDC+, UDC-) are at a
dangerous voltage.
• External wiring can supply dangerous
voltages to the terminals of relay outputs
(RO1, RO2 and RO3).
• The Safe torque off function does not
remove the voltage from the main and
auxiliary circuits. The function is not effective
against deliberate sabotage or misuse.
WARNING! Use a grounding wrist band
when you handle the printed circuit boards.
Do not touch the boards unnecessarily. The
boards contain components sensitive to
electrostatic discharge.

ACH580 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drives Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 5
Safety instructions
Grounding
These instructions are for all personnel who are
responsible for the electrical installation,
including the grounding of the drive.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If
you ignore them, injury or death, or
equipment malfunction can occur, and
electromagnetic interference can increase.
• If you are not a qualified electrical
professional, do not do grounding work.
• Always ground the drive, the motor and
adjoining equipment to the protective earth
(PE) bus of the power supply. This is
necessary for the personnel safety. Proper
grounding also reduces electromagnetic
emission and interference.
• In a multiple-drive installation, connect each
drive separately to the protective earth (PE)
bus of the power supply.
• Make sure that the conductivity of the
protective earth (PE) conductors is
sufficient. See section Power cable terminal
and lead-through data on page 16. Obey the
local regulations.
• Connect the power cable shields to the
protective earth (PE) terminals of the drive.
• Make a 360°grounding of the power and
control cable shields at the cable entries to
suppress electromagnetic disturbance.
• Standard IEC/EN 61800-5-1 (section
4.3.5.5.2.) requires that as the normal touch
current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC
or 10 mA DC, you must use a fixed
protective earth (PE) connection. In addition,
• install a second protective earth
conductor of the same cross-sectional
area as the original protective earthing
conductor,
or
• install a protective earth conductor with a
cross-section of at least 10 mm2Cu or
16 mm2Al,
or
• install a device which automatically
disconnects the supply if the protective
earth conductor breaks.
Additional instructions for Safety Functions
WARNING! Bypass configurations

Additional instructions for
permanent magnet motor drives
Safety in installation, start-up and
maintenance
These are additional warnings concerning
permanent magnet motor drives. The other
safety instructions in this chapter are also valid.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If
you ignore them, injury or death and
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Do not work on a drive when a rotating
permanent magnet motor is connected to it.
A rotating permanent magnet motor
energizes the drive including its power
terminals.
Before installation, start-up and maintenance
work on the drive:
• Stop the motor.
• Disconnect the motor from the drive with a
safety switch or by other means.
• If you cannot disconnect the motor, make
sure that the motor cannot rotate during
work. Make sure that no other system, like
hydraulic crawling drives, can rotate the
motor directly or through any mechanical
connection like felt, nip, rope, etc.
• Measure that the installation is
de-energized.
• Confirm the multimeter is working by
testing known source.
• Use a multimeter with an impedance of at
least 1 Mohm.

6 ACH580 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drives Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Safety instructions
• Make sure that the voltage between the
drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V, T3/W)
and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to
0 V.
• Make sure that the voltage between the
drive input power terminals (L1, L2, L3)
and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to
0 V.
• Make sure that the voltage between the
drive DC terminals (UDC+, UDC-) and
the grounding (PE) terminal is close to
0 V.
• Install temporary grounding to the drive
output terminals (T1/U, T2/V, T3/W).
Connect the output terminals together as
well as to the PE.
Start-up and operation:
• Make sure that the operator cannot run the
motor over the rated speed. Motor
overspeed causes overvoltage that can
damage or destroy the capacitors in the
intermediate circuit of the drive.
General safety in operation
These instructions are for all personnel that
operate the drive.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If
you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Do not control the motor with the line side
disconnect at the drive power supply;
instead, use the control panel start and stop
keys or commands through the I/O terminals
of the drive.
• Give a stop command to the drive before
you reset a fault. If you have an external
source for the start command and the start is
on, the drive will start immediately after the
fault reset, unless you configure the drive for
pulse start. See the firmware manual.
• Before you activate automatic fault reset
functions of the drive control program, make
sure that no dangerous situations can occur.
These functions reset the drive
automatically and continue operation after a
fault.
Note: When the drive is not in the Hand mode,
the Off key on the control panel will not stop the
drive.

ACH580 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drives Installation
Fuses
UL class T fuses for branch circuit protection per NEC are listed below. ABB
recommends fast acting class T or faster fuses for drives installed in North America.
Check on the fuse time-current curve to ensure the operating time of the fuse
is below 0.5 seconds for frames R3 and R6 and below 0.1 seconds for frame
R8. Comply with NFPA70 (NEC) and all local.
Note 1: See also Implementing thermal overload and short-circuit protection in
ACH580-31 Hardware Manual (3AXD5000037066).
Note 2: Fuses with higher current rating than the recommended ones must not be
used.
Note 3: Fuses from other manufacturers can be used if they meet the ratings and
the melting curve of the fuse does not exceed the melting curve of the fuse
mentioned in the table.
Note: The UL listed fuses in the table are the required branch circuit protection.
Fuses are to be provided as part of the installation.
• Fuses are not included in the purchased drive and must be provided by others.
• Fuses with higher current rating than specified must not be used.
• Fuses with lower current rating than specified may be used if they are of the same
class and voltage rating. It is the user's responsibility to verify that lower current
rated fuses are compliant with local regulations and appropriate for the
application.
• Drive fuses must be used to maintain the drive UL listing. Additional protection
can be used. Refer to local codes and regulations.
