2.1.1. Disposal Instructions
Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed of
together with domestic waste.
It must be collected separately as electrical and electronic waste in
accordance with local and currently valid legislation.
Caution
The adjustable frequency drive DC link capacitors remain charged after power has been dis-
connected. To avoid the electrical shock hazard, disconnect the adjustable frequency drive
from the power supply before carrying out maintenance. Before servicing the adjustable fre-
quency drive, wait the minimum amount of time indicated below:
380-500 V 125-300 hp [90-200
kW]
20 minutes
350-550 hp [250-400

2.1.2. 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 at high altitudes
At altitudes higher than 6,500 ft [2 km], please contact Danfoss Drives regarding
PELV.
2.1.3. Safety Instructions
• Make sure the adjustable frequency drive is properly grounded.
• Protect users against supply voltage.
• Protect the motor against overloading in accordance with 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 ground leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
• The [OFF] key is not a safety switch. It does not disconnect the adjustable frequency
drive from line power.
2.1.4. General Warning
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been dis-
connected 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.
When using the adjustable frequency drive: wait at least 40 minutes.
A shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.

Leakage Current
The ground leakage current from the adjustable frequency drive 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 in.

] or have 2 rated ground wires terminated separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause 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 (x=version number).
Protective grounding of the adjustable frequency drive and the use of RCDs must
always follow national and local regulations.
2.1.5. Before Commencing Repair Work
1. Disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from the line power.
2. Wait for the discharge of the DC link. See the period of time on the warning label.
3. Disconnect DC bus terminals 88 and 89.
4. Remove motor cable.
2.1.6. Avoid Unintended Start
While the adjustable frequency drive is connected to line power, the motor can be
started/stopped using digital commands, bus commands, references or via the Local
Control Panel.
• Disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from line power whenever personal safety
considerations make it necessary to avoid an unintended start.
• To avoid an unintended start, 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 adjustable frequency drive with safe stop pro-
vides protection against unintended start, if Safe Stop Terminal 37 is deactivated or
disconnected.

2.1.7. Safe Stop
The FC 302 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).
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!
