1 How to Read this Instruction Manual
1.1.1 How to Read the Instruction Manual
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 adjustable frequency drive may cause improper operation of the adjustable frequency drive or related equipment, shorten
lifetime or cause other problems.
This Instruction Manual will help you get started, install, program, and troubleshoot your VLT®AutomationDrive FC 300.
The VLT®AutomationDrive FC 300 comes in twoshaft performance levels. The VLT®AutomationDrive FC 300 comes in two shaft performance levels. FC
301 ranges from scalar (U/f) to VVC+ and handles asynchronous motors only. The FC 302 is a high performance adjustable frequency drive for asyn-
chronous as well as permanent motors and handles various kinds of motor control principles such as scalar (U/f), VVC+ and flux vector motor control.
This Instruction Manual covers both the FC 301 and the FC 302. Where information covers both series, we refer to the FC 300. Otherwise, we refer
specifically to either the FC 301 or the FC 302.
Chapter 1, How to Read this Instruction Manual, introduces the manual and informs you of the approvals, symbols and abbreviations used in this
literature.
Chapter 2, Safety Instructions and General Warnings, contains instructions on how to handle the FC 300 correctly.
Chapter 3, How to Install, guides you through mechanical and technical installation.

2SafetyInstructionsand General Warning
Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed of together with domestic
waste.
It must be collected separately as electrical and electronic waste according to local and currently
valid legislation.
The DC link capacitors remain charged after power has been disconnected. To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect the adjustable
frequency drive from line power before carrying out maintenance. When using a PM motor, make sure it is disconnected. Before
servicing the adjustable frequency drive, wait the minimum amount of time indicated below:
380–500 V 0.34–10 hp [0.25–7.5 kW] 4 minutes
15–100 hp [11–75 kW] 15 minutes
125–300 hp [90–200 kW] 20 minutes
350–550 hp [250–400 kW] 40 minutes
525–690 V 50–350 hp [37–250 kW] 20 minutes
450–750 hp [315–560 kW] 30 minutes

Manual 2 Safety Instructions and General Warning
MG.33.AB.22 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark 2-1

2.1.1 High Voltage
The voltage of the adjustable frequency drive is dangerous whenever the adjustable frequency drive is connected to line power.
Incorrect installation or operation of the motor or adjustable frequency drive may cause damage to the equipment, serious personal
injury or death. The instructions in this manual must therefore be observed, in addition to applicable local and national rules and safety
regulations.
Installation in high altitudes
380-500 V: At altitudes higher than 10,000 ft [3 km], please contact Danfoss Drives regarding PELV.
525-690 V: At altitudes higher than 6,500 ft [2 km], please contact Danfoss Drives regarding PELV.
The voltage of the adjustable frequency drive is dangerous whenever connected to line power. Incorrect installation of the motor,
adjustable frequency drive or serial communication bus may cause damage to the equipment, serious personal injury or death. Con-
sequently, the instructions in this manual, as well as national and local rules and safety regulations, must be followed.
Safety Regulations
1. The line power supply to the adjustable frequency drive must be disconnected whenever repair work is to be carried out. Make sure that the
line power supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before removing motor and line power supply plugs.
2. The [OFF] button on the control panel of the adjustable frequency drive does not disconnect the line power supply and consequently it must
not be used as a safety switch.
3. The equipment must be properly grounded, the user must be protected against supply voltage and the motor must be protected against overload
in accordance with applicable national and local regulations.
4. The ground leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
5. Protection against motor overload is not included in the factory setting. If this function is desired, set par.
1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to
data value ETR trip 1 [4] or data value ETR warning 1 [3].
6. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and line power supply while the adjustable frequency drive is connected to line power. Make sure that
the line power supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before removing motor and line power plugs.
7. Please note that the adjustable frequency drive has more voltage sources than L1, L2 and L3, when load sharing (linking of DC intermediate
circuit) or external 24 V DC are installed. Make sure that all voltage sources have been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed
before commencing repair work.

2.1.2 General Warning
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from line power.
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 backup.
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 ground leakage current from the FC 300 exceeds 3.5 mA. To ensure that the ground cable has a good mechanical connection to
the ground connection (terminal 95), the cable cross-section must be at least 0.016 in2[10 mm2] or 2 times rated earth wires terminated
separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause a DC current in the protective conductor. If a residual current device (RCD) is used for extra protection, only
an RCD of Type B (time delayed) may be used on the supply side of this product. See also RCD Application Note MN.90.GX.02.
Protective grounding of the FC 300 and the use of RCDs must always follow national and local regulations.
NOTE!
For vertical lifting or hoisting applications it is strongly recommended to ensure that the load can be stopped in case of an emergency
or a malfunction of a single part such as a contactor, etc.
If the adjustable frequency drive is in alarm mode or in an overvoltage situation, the mechanical brake cuts in.
2.1.3 Before Commencing Repair Work
1. Disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from line power.
2. Disconnect DC bus terminals 88 and 89 from load share applications
3. Wait for the discharge of the DC link. See period of time on the warning label.
4. Remove motor cable
2.1.4 Avoid Unintended Start
While the FC 300 is connected to line power, the motor can be started/stopped using digital commands, bus commands, references or via the Local
Control Panel (LCP).
• Disconnect the FC 300 from line power whenever personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid an unintended start.
• To avoid an unintended starts, always activate the [OFF] key before changing parameters.
• An electronic fault, temporary overload, a fault in the line supply, or lost motor connection may cause a stopped motor to start. The FC 300 with
Safe Stop (i.e., FC 301 in A1 enclosure and FC 302) provides protection against unintended starts if the Safe Stop Terminal 37 is on low voltage
level or disconnected.

2.1.5 Safe Stop of the FC 300
The FC 302, and also the FC301 in A1 enclosure, can perform the safety function Safe Torque Off (as defined by 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 deemed suitable for the requirements of Safety Category 3 in EN 954-1. This function is called safe stop. Prior to integrating and using
safe stop in an installation, a thorough risk analysis must be carried out on the installation 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
contained in the Instruction Manual are not sufficient for a correct and safe use of the safe stop functionality!
