1. Introduction
1.1. Important Safety Information
Please read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION below, and all Warning and Caution information elsewhere.
Danger: Indicates a risk of electric shock, which,
if not avoided, could result in damage to the
equipment and possible injury or death.
This variable speed drive product (BFI drive) is intended
for professional incorporation into complete equipment or
systems as part of a fixed installation. If installed incorrectly
it may present a safety hazard. The BFI drive uses high
voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored
electrical energy, and is used to control mechanical plant
that may cause injury. Close attention is required to system
design and electrical installation to avoid hazards in either
normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and
maintain this product.
System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance
must be carried out only by personnel who have the
necessary training and experience. They must carefully
read this safety information and the instructions in this Guide
and follow all information regarding transport, storage,
installation and use of the BFI drive, including the specified
environmental limitations.
Do not perform any flash test or voltage withstand test on
the BFI drive. Any electrical measurements required should
be carried out with the BFI drive disconnected. Internal
surge arrestors are fitted, intended to protect against
damage due to mains borne spikes, which will result in the
product failing the flash test.
Electric shock hazard! Disconnect and ISOLATE the BFI
drive before attempting any work on it. High voltages are
present at the terminals and within the drive for up to 10
minutes after disconnection of the electrical supply. Always
ensure by using a suitable multimeter that no voltage is
present on any drive power terminals prior to commencing
any work.
Where supply to the drive is through a plug and socket
connector, do not disconnect until 10 minutes have elapsed
after turning off the supply.
Ensure correct earthing connections and cable selection as
per defined by local legislation or codes. The drive may
have a leakage current of greater than 3.5mA; furthermore
the earth cable must be sufficient to carry the maximum
supply fault current which normally will be limited by the
fuses or MCB. Suitably rated fuses or MCB should be fitted
in the mains supply to the drive, according to any local
legislation or codes.
Do not carry out any work on the drive control cables
whilst power is applied to the drive or to the external
control circuits.
Danger: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
other than electrical, which if not avoided, could
result in damage to property.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is
used must comply with Directive 98/37/EC, Safety of Machinery.
In particular, the machine manufacturer is responsible for providing
a main switch and ensuring the electrical equipment complies with
EN60204-1.
The level of integrity offered by the BFI drive control input functions
– for example stop/start, forward/reverse and maximum speed,
is not sufficient for use in safety-critical applications without
independent channels of protection. All applications where
malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a
risk assessment and further protection provided where needed.
The driven motor can start at power up if the enable input signal is
present.
The STOP function does not remove potentially lethal high
voltages. ISOLATE the drive and wait 10 minutes before starting
any work on it. Never carry out any work on the Drive, Motor or
Motor cable whilst the input power is still applied.
The BFI drive can be programmed to operate the driven motor at
speeds above or below the speed achieved when connecting the
motor directly to the mains supply. Obtain confirmation from the
manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about suitability for
operation over the intended speed range prior to machine start up.
Do not activate the automatic fault reset function on any systems
whereby this may cause a potentially dangerous situation.
IP55 drives can be installation in a pollution degree 2
environment. IP66 outdoor drives can be installed in a pollution
degree 4 environment. IP20 drives must be installed in a pollution
degree 1 environment. If it is necessary to install IP20 drives in an
environment with a higher pollution degree, then the drive must be
installed inside an enclosure that provides the drive with a pollution
degree 1 environment.
BFI drives are intended for indoor use only, unless specifically
stated as being suitable for installation outdoors and installed in
accordance with the Manufacturers guidelines.
When mounting the drive, ensure that sufficient cooling is provided.
Do not carry out drilling operations with the drive in place, dust
and swarf from drilling may lead to damage.
The entry of conductive or flammable foreign bodies should be
prevented. Flammable material should not be placed close to
the drive.
Relative humidity must be less than 95% (non-condensing).
Ensure that the supply voltage, frequency and no. of phases (1 or
3 phase) correspond to the rating of the BFI drive as delivered.
Never connect the mains power supply to the Output terminals U, V, W.
Do not install any type of automatic switchgear between the drive
and the motor. This may cause the drive protection to activate,
resulting in a trip and loss of operation.
Wherever control cabling is close to power cabling, maintain
a minimum separation of 100 mm and arrange crossings at
90 degrees.
Ensure that all terminals are tightened to the appropriate
torque setting.
Do not attempt to carry out any repair of the BFI drive. In the case
of suspected fault or malfunction, contact Beijer Electronics for
further assistance.

2.1.4. Low Harmonic Variants
The majority of the Beijer BFI-H3 product range is based on a low harmonic solution using film capacitor technology to achieve
compliance with EN 61000-3-12 without the need for any additional equipment. This standard specifies limits for harmonic currents
for equipment connected to public low-voltage systems with input current > 16A and <= 75A per phase. It is important to understand
which models from the product range are of the low harmonic technology which is detailed below.
The Beijer BFI-H3 three phase 200V (200-240V) input and three phase 400V (380-480V) input drives frame sizes 2 up to and
including frame size 5 are a lower harmonic drive using film capacitor technology. Please refer to the product rating tables in section
2.1. Drive Model Numbers for confirmation.
In short, this means that the low harmonic drives do not require an input choke and should not have one installed – drives outside of
the above frame sizes and supply voltage / number of phases, are of standard electrolytic capacitor design and could benefit from
the use of input chokes if further harmonic reduction is required.

3.6. Guidelines for Enclosure mounting (IP20 Units)
 IP20 drives are designed to be installed in suitable enclosures to protect them from the environment.
Enclosures should be made from a thermally conductive material.
Ensure the minimum air gap clearances around the drive as shown below are observed when mounting the drive.
 Where ventilated enclosures are used, there should be venting above the drive and below the drive to ensure good air circulation.
Air should be drawn in below the drive and expelled above the drive.
 In any environments where the conditions require it, the enclosure must be designed to protect the BFI drive against ingress of
airborne dust, corrosive gases or liquids, conductive contaminants (such as condensation, carbon dust, and metallic particles) and
sprays or splashing water from all directions.
High moisture, salt or chemical content environments should use a suitably sealed (non-vented) enclosure.
The enclosure design and layout should ensure that the adequate ventilation paths and clearances are left to allow air to circulate
through the drive heatsink. Beijer Electronics recommend the following minimum sizes for drives mounted in non-ventilated metallic
enclosures:
Drive Size
X
Above & Below
Y
Either Side

3.7. Mounting the Drive – IP20 Units
IP20 Units are intended for installation within a control cabinet.
When mounting with screws:
o Using the drive as a template, or the dimensions shown above, mark the locations for drilling
o Ensure that when mounting locations are drilled, the dust from drilling does not enter the drive
o Mount the drive to the cabinet backplate using suitable mounting screws
o Position the drive, and tighten the mounting screws securely.
When Din Rail Mounting (Frame Size 2 Only):
o Locate the DIN rail mounting slot on the rear of the drive onto the top of the DIN rail first
o Press the bottom of the drive onto the DIN rail until the lower clip attaches to the DIN rail
o If necessary, use a suitable flat blade screw driver to pull the DIN rail clip down to allow the drive to mount securely on the rail
o To remove the drive from the DIN rail, use a suitable flat blade screwdriver to pull the release tab downwards, and lift the
bottom of the drive away from the rail first.
3.8. Drive Enclosure Dimensioning
The IP20 drives are intended to be mounted in suitable enclosures. It is very important to ensure that the enclosure is designed
appropriately to keep the drive ambient temperature within acceptable levels.
Calculating the panel size for a completely sealed panel without any ventilation:
The external surface area which is free to radiate heat to the environment must be great enough to dissipate the heat generated inside
the panel – If any surface is against a wall or the floor then the corresponding surface area should be excluded from this calculation.
The required panel surface area can be calculated according to the following:
A = P / K x (TMAX – TAMB)
Where
 A = Control Panel Surface Area in square metres which is free to radiate heat to the air (areas mounted against the wall or floor
are excluded)
P = Total power dissipated in panel (include all losses from all power devices)
K = Thermal constant, typically 5.5 for painted mild steel
TMAX = Maximum temperature allowed in the panel (ambient temperature for the drive)
TAMB = Maximum ambient temperature around the panel
If the panel is to be ventilated using cooling fans and filters, the required airflow can be determined as follows:
F = 0.053 x P / (TMAX – TAMB)
Where
F = Airflow in Cubic metres per minute
P = Total power dissipated in panel (include all losses from all power devices)
TMAX = Maximum temperature allowed in the panel (ambient temperature for the drive)
TAMB = Maximum ambient temperature around the panel

3.9. Guidelines for Mounting (IP55 Units)
 Before mounting the drive, ensure that the chosen location meets the environmental condition requirements for the drive shown in
section 11.1. Environmental on page 68.
 The drive must be mounted vertically, on a suitable flat surface.
 The minimum mounting clearances as shown in the table below must be observed.
 The mounting site and chosen mountings should be sufficient to support the weight of the drives.
 IP55 units do not require mounting inside an electrical control cabinet; however they may be if desired.
 Using the drive as a template, or the dimensions shown above, mark the locations required for drilling
Suitable cable glands to maintain the IP protection of the drive are required. Gland sizes should be selected based on the number
and size of the required connection cables. Drives are supplied with a plain, undrilled gland plate to allow the correct hole sizes to
be cut as required. Remove the gland plate from the drive prior to drilling.
