Safety Instructions
Overview This chapter states the safety instructions which must be fol-
lowed when installing, operating and servicing the ACS 300.
If neglected, physical injury and death may follow, or dam-
age may occur to the AC drive, the motor and driven equip-
ment. The material in this chapter must be studied before
attempting any work on or with the unit.
Warnings and Notes This manual distinguishes two sorts of safety instructions.
Warnings are used to inform of conditions which can, if
proper steps are not taken, lead to a serious fault condition,
physical injury and death. Notes are used when the reader
is required to pay special attention or when there is addi-
tional information available on the subject. Notes are less
crucial than warnings, but should not be disregarded.
Warnings Readers are informed of situations that can result in serious
physical injury and/or serious damage to equipment with the
following symbols:
Dangerous Voltage Warning warns of
situations in which a high voltage can cause
physical injury and/or damage equipment.
The text nextto this symbol describes ways to
avoid the danger.
General Warning warns of situations which
can cause physical injury and/or damage
equipment by means other than electrical.
The text nextto this symbol describes ways to
avoid the danger.

Safety Instructions
Notes Readers are notified of the need for special attention or
additional information available on the subject with the fol-
lowing symbols:
General Safety
Instructions These safety instructions are intended for all work on the
ACS 300.
WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work
on the ACS 300 should be carried out by qualified
electricians.
The ACS 300 and adjoining equipment must
always be
properly grounded. The motor and all accessories must be
grounded through ACS 300.
All the ACS 300 units include capacitors connected between
the main circuit and the frame. These capacitors increase
the ground leakage current through the ground connection
to the power line and may cause some ground fault circuit
breakers to trip.
WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work
on the ACS 300 should be carried out by qualified
electricians.
Do not attempt any work on a powered ACS 300. After
switching off the power, always allow the DC bus capacitors
5 minutes to discharge before working on the AC drive, the
motor or the motor wiring. It is good practice to check (with a
voltage indicating instrument) that the AC drive is in fact
unpowered before beginning work.
CAUTION! Caution emphasizes a matter in order to
draw special attention to it.
Note! Note gives additional information or points
out more information available on the subject.

ACS 300 User’s Manual vii
Safety Instructions
WARNING! The ACS 300 motor cable terminals are at a
dangerously high voltage when power is applied regardless
of motor operation.
There can be dangerous voltages inside the ACS 300 from
external control circuits when the ACS 300 AC line power is
shut off. Exercise appropriate care when working with the
unit. Negligence to these instructions can cause physical
injury and death.
WARNING! The ACS 300 may introduce electric motors,
drive train mechanisms and driven machines to an extended
operating range. It should be confirmed that all equipment is
suitable for these conditions.
Do not make any voltage tolerance tests (Hi Pot or Meggar)
on any part of the ACS 300. Disconnect motor wires from
the ACS 300 before making any such tests on the motor or
motor wiring.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in permanent
damage to the ACS 300.
WARNING! Certain parameter settings and external control
signals may cause the ACS 300 to start up automatically
after an input power failure.
The motor rotational direction can be locked to forward only
by using the DIR parameter. See page 64 for more details.
Mechanical faults on the motor, power failure or other faults
may cause stoppages. Correcting the fault may cause the
motor to restart. Take all necessary precautions to ensure
personnel safety and to avoid damage to equipment and
property before motor restart.

viii ACS 300 User’s Manual
Safety Instructions
Disconnect Device A supply disconnecting device shall be installed in each sup-
ply, by which the electric parts of ACS 300 can be discon-
nected from the AC line during installation and maintenance
work. The disconnecting device shall conform to the require-
ments of all applicable electrical codes. The supply discon-
necting device shall be locked in the open position while
installation and maintenance work is going on.
Emergency Stop
Devices The ACS 300 start/stop control circuitry consists of elec-
tronic components. An additional hardwired electromechani-
cal stop circuit is required to remove AC line power from the
drive if there are hazards of personnel accidently contacting
the moving parts of the driven machinery or if there is any
other potential hazard that requires the installation of emer-
gency stop devices. When the drive is stopped by discon-
necting power, no braking is available and the motor will
coast to a stop. If emergency stop braking is required, a
spring set friction brake should be used.

tions without prior notice.
Delivery Checks Please verify that the delivery is complete and correct, when
you receive the ACS 300. Verify also that the AC drive is
undamaged. In the event of damage, please contact the car-
rier involved or the supplier. If the delivery is not in compli-
ance with the order, please contact the supplier immediately.
ACS 300 is always delivered with the dummy control panel
insert installed in the cover.
A drip shield is provided to prevent falling dirt and dripping
fluids from entering the ventilation slots at the top of the
enclosure. The enclosure rated NEMA 1 with the drip shield
installed.
Manufacturing date is determined by unit´s serial number in
the name plate. First digit shows the last figure of the year.
Digits two and three tell the manufacturing week. For exam-
ple 5220053 where 5 means 1995 and 22 manufacturing
week and the rest of the digits are for internal use.
Inspection Labels Every ACS 300 has a Pass sticker to show that it is
inspected and qualified.

Cooling Cooling of the ACS 300 is based on natural air circulation or
by fan, depending on the type.
The maximum allowable ambient operating temperature is
50°C when the load current is lower than or equal to the con-
tinuous maximum load current INand switching frequency is
lower than or equal to 8 kHz (3 kHz for model ACS 3_1-016-
3). See Figure 2-1 below for power derating curves.
The cooling air must be clean and free from corrosive materi-
als. If the cooling air contains dust, clean the cooling surfaces
of the unit regularly using compressed air and a brush.
ACS 300 AC drives are to be used in a heated, indoor, con-
trolled environment that is free of moisture and conductive
contaminates such as condensation, carbon dust and the like.

Mounting
Mounting the
ACS 300
To ensure proper cooling and safe installation, check that
the mounting surface is relatively flat and that there are no
openings allowing entrance to the back of the unit. The max-
imum size of the mounting bolts for ACS 300 units is 1/4”
(M6), except for frame size R2 it is #12 (M5).
If multiple units are installed adjacent to or above each
other, the following minimum distances apply:
• Units side by side, clearance 1/2 inch (12 mm)
• Units above each other, clearance 12 inches (300 mm)
