12.3.Motor connection
Connectthe motorcable tothe U, V, W and PE terminals.
The inverter willbedeactivated in theevent of ashort circuitat the terminals U, V, W.
We recommendPTCevaluation using commercially availabledevices toachieveeffective protection
of the motor.
Ifinterruptingcontacts(e.g. contactorsormotorprotectionswitchesetc.) haveto be installedbetween
themotorandinverter,thecircuitmustbeconfiguredsoastoensurethatthe ENABLE signal(terminals
10/11) isdeactivated beforeseparationofthe inverter/motor connection.A relay switching time of
approx. 30ms suffices.
Longmotor cables(>20m) in connection with high voltage peakscausedby thefast switching output
stages oftheinvertermay endangerthe motorinsulation.Insuch cases werecommend tousesuitable
filtermeasures (e.g.motor chokesor dU/dt filters) toprotect themotor.
12.4.Interferencesuppression measures / EMC
(electromagneticcompatibility)
12.4.1.Generalinformation
Invertersare electronic deviceswhich areused in industrialand commercialsystems. In accordance
withthe EMC-directives89/336/EECthe invertersarenotdesignedfor independentoperation.Thus
invertersshould beusedforfurtherprocessingthroughcompetent machine/systemmanufacturers.
Bythis,the devices donot require a CE-marking. Theproofofthe conformityofthe machine/system
with the required EMC-directives must be furnished by themanufacturer or operator ofthesystem.
The invertersofthe ACM series areequipped withan internal filter and designed to be used in class
"A"environments(firstenvironment,restricteddistribution)accordingtotheproduct standard EN
61800-3.
The evaluationofthe conformitytook place inapracticalstructurehavingtaken into accountthe
following installationnotes.
Voltage peaks producedbyotherdevicesconnected atthemains supplycan possibly disturb or even
damage the inverter.Inputchokes(option)can be usedtoprotect the inverteragainst these voltage
peaks (causede.g.byswitching offof highloadsfrom themains).
12.4.2.Installation notes
Duringoperation, electrical/electronicdevices caninfluence ordisturbeachother via powersupply or
othermetallic connections.
The electromagnetic compatibilityof thesystemis highly influenced bythe manner of the installation.
Measuresforthegrounding,shieldingand filteringaretobeparticularlyconsidered. Bypayingattention
tothefollowinginstallationnotesitcan beassumed that the EMC limit values for thesystem/machine
are kept.
•Invertersand optional components likeinput oroutputchokes mustbe inmetal-to-metal contact
withthegrounded mounting plateusing the wholesurface ifpossible. Usepreferablygalvanized
mounting plates. Painted mounting surfacesmustbe free from paint.
•Laythemains, motor andcontrol cablesin large distance from each other.
•Useshieldedmotorcablesconnectedtoearth onboth sides.
•Connect themotor cable shieldwiththePE terminallocatedinthe terminalbox ofthe motor. Use
possibly metalliccableglands.
•Optionaloutputchokesmust bemounted closeto the inverterand connectedwith shielded cables.
Connect thecableshield toearth on both sides.
•Useshieldedcontrol cablesconnectedtoearth on both sides.
•Unshielded control cables must be twisted.
•Connectthecableshieldseitherwith themounting plate using groundclampsandcontacted over
as large an area oratan equipotential bar(see picture).
•Useacentral earthing point for thewholemachine/system (mounting plate).Connect this pointto
earth usingearth cables witha large crosssection or flat copperbraids.
