How to Read these Operating Instructions
"HowtoReadtheseOperatingInstructions
VLT®AutomationDrive FC 300 is designed to provide high shaft performance on electrical motors. Please
read this manual carefully for proper use. Incorrect handling of the frequency converter may cause improper
operation of the frequency converter or related equipment, shorten lifetime or cause other troubles.
These Operating Instructions will help you get started, install, program, and trou-
bleshoot your VLT®AutomationDrive FC 300.
The VLT®AutomationDrive FC 300 comes in two shaft performance levels. FC 301 ranges from scalar
(U/f) to VVC+, and FC 302 ranges from scalar (U/f) to servo performance.
These Operating Instructions cover both FC 301 and FC 302. Where information covers both series,
we refer to FC 300. Otherwise, we refer specifically to either FC 301 or FC 302.

Safety Instructions and General Warning
Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed
together with domestic waste.
It must be separate collected with Electrical and Electronic waste
according to local and currently valid legislation.
Caution
The FC 300 AutomationDrive DC link capacitors remain charged after power has been
disconnected. To avoid an electrical shock hazard, disconnect the FC 300 from the mains
before carrying out maintenance. Wait at least as follows before doing service on the
frequency converter:
FC 300: 0.25 – 7.5 kW 4 minutes
FC 300: 11 – 22 kW 15 minutes

Operating Instructions
Software version: 4.0x
These Operating Instructions can be used for all FC 300 frequency converters with software
version 4.0x.
Thesoftwareversionnumbercanbeseenfromparameter15-43.
"High Voltage Warning
The voltage of the FC 300 is dangerous whenever the converter is connected to mains.
Incorrect fitting of the motor or frequency converter may cause damage to the equipment,
serious injury or death. Consequently, it is essential to comply with the instructions in
this manual as well as local and national rules and safety regulations.
"Safety Instructions
•Make sure the FC 300 is properly connected to earth.
•Do not remove mains plugs or motor plugs while the FC 300 is connected to mains.
•Protect users against supply voltage.
•Protect the motor against overloading according to national and local regulations.
•Motor overload protection is not included in the default settings. To add this function, set parameter
1-90 Motor thermal protection to value ETR trip or ETR warning. For the North American market:
ETR functions provide class 20 motor overload protection, in accordance with NEC.
•The earth leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
•The [OFF] key is not a safety switch. It does not disconnect the FC 300 from mains.
General warning
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has
been disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as load-sharing (linkage
of DC intermediate circuit), as well as the motor connection for kinetic back-up.
Using VLT AutomationDrive FC 300: wait at least 15 minutes.
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.
Leakage Current
The earth leakage current from the FC 300 exceeds 3.5 mA. To ensure that the earth cable has
a good mechanical connection to the earth connection (terminal 95), the cable cross section
must be at least 10 mm2or 2 times rated earth wires terminated separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause a D.C. current in the protective conductor. Where a residual current device
(RCD) is used for extra protection, only an RCD of Type B (time delayed) shall be used on the
supply side of this product. See also RCD Application Note MN.90.GX.02.
Protective earthing of the FC 300 and the use of RCD’s must always follow national and local regulations.

FC 300 Operating Instructions
Safety Instructions and General Warning
"Before Commencing Repair Work
1. Disconnect FC 300 from mains
2. Disconnect DC bus terminals 88 and 89
3. Wait for discharge of the DC-link. See period of time on the warning label.
4. Remove motor cable
"Avoid Unintended Start
While FC 300 is connected to mains, the motor can be started/stopped using digital commands,
bus commands, references or via the Local Control Panel (LCP).
•Disconnect the FC 300 from mains whenever personal safety considerations make
it necessary to avoid unintended start.
•To avoid unintended start, always activate the [OFF] key before changing parameters.
•An electronic fault, temporary overload, a fault in the mains supply, or lost motor connection
may cause a stopped motor to start. FC 300 with Safe Stop (i.e. FC301 in A1 enclosure
and FC302) provides a certain degree of protection against such unintended start, if the
Safe Stop Terminal 37 is on low voltage level or disconnected.
"Safe Stop of FC 300
The FC 302, and also the FC301 in A1 enclosure,
can perform the safety function Safe Torque Off
(As defined by draft CD IEC 61800-5-2) or Stop
Category 0 (as defined in EN 60204-1).
FC 301 A1 enclosure: When Safe Stop is included
in the drive position 18 of Type Code must
be either T or U. If position 18 is B or X Safe
Stop Terminal 37 is not included!
Example:
Type Code for FC 301 A1 with Safe Stop:
FC-301PK75T4Z20H4TGCXXXSXXXXA0BXCXXXXD0
It is designed and approved suitable for the
requirements of Safety Category 3 in EN 954-1.
This functionality is called Safe Stop. Prior to
integration and use of Safe Stop in an installation,
a thorough risk analysis on the installation must
be carried out in order to determine whether the
Safe Stop functionality and safety category are
appropriate and sufficient. In order to install and
use the Safe Stop function in accordance with the
requirements of Safety Category 3 in EN 954-1,
the related information and instructions of the FC
300 Design Guide MG.33.BX.YY must be followed!
The information and instructions of the Operating
Instructions are not sufficient for a correct and
safe use of the Safe Stop functionality!

Safety Instructions and General Warning
"Safe Stop Installation (FC 302 and FC
301 - A1 enclosure only)
To carry out an installation of a Category 0 Stop
(EN60204) in conformance with Safety Category
3 (EN954-1), follow these instructions:
1. Thebridge(jumper)betweenTerminal37
and 24 V DC must be removed. Cutting
or breaking the jumper is not sufficient.
Remove it entirely to avoid short-circuiting.
See jumper on illustration.
2. Connect terminal 37 to 24 V DC by a short-circuit
protected cable. The 24 V DC voltage supply
must be interruptible by an EN954-1 Category 3
circuit interrupt device. If the interrupt device
and the frequency converter are placed in the
same installation panel, you can use a regular
cable instead of a protected one.
Bridge jumper between terminal 37 and 24 VDC
The illustration below shows a Stopping Category 0 (EN 60204-1) with safety Cat. 3 (EN
954-1). The circuit interrupt is caused by an opening door contact. The illustration also
shows how to connect a non-safety related hardware coast.
Illustration of the essential aspects of an installation to achieve a Stopping Category 0 (EN
60204-1) with safety Cat. 3 (EN 954-1).
IT Mains
Do not connect 400 V frequency converters with RFI-filters to mains supplies with a
voltage between phase and earth of more than 440 V.
For IT mains and delta earth (grounded leg), mains voltage may ex-
ceed 440 V between phase and earth.
Par. 14-50 RFI 1 can on FC 302 be used to disconnect the internal RFI capacitiors from the RFI
filter to ground. If this is done it will reduce the RFI performance to A2 level.
