CAUTION
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
in2 [10 mm2] or two rated ground wires terminated
separately. For proper grounding for EMC, see
3.3.3 Grounding.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause DC 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 MN90GX02 (x=version number).
Protective grounding of the adjustable frequency drive and
the use of RCDs must always follow national and local
regulations.
2.1.4 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
2.1.5 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 (LCP):
•Disconnect the adjustable frequency drive from
line power whenever personal safety consider-
ations make it necessary to avoid an unintended
start.
•To avoid unintended start, always activate the
[Off] key before changing parameters.
•An electronic fault, temporary overload, a fault in
the line power supply, or lost motor connection
may cause a stopped motor to start. The
adjustable frequency drive with safe stop
provides protection against unintended start, if
Safe Stop Terminal 37 is deactivated or discon-
nected.
2.1.6 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 approved suitable for the requirements
of Safety Category 3 in EN 954-1. This functionality is called
Safe Stop. Before integrating and using 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 MG33BXYY must be
followed. The information and instructions of the
Instruction Manual are not sufficient for a correct and safe
use of the safe stop functionality.
2.1.7 Safe Stop Installation
To carry out an installation of a Category 0 Stop
(EN60204) in conformity with Safety Category 3 (EN954-1),
follow these instructions:
1. The bridge (jumper) between Terminal 37 and 24
V DC must be removed. Cutting or breaking the
jumper is not sufficient. Remove it entirely to
avoid short-circuiting. See jumper in Figure 2.1.
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 adjustable frequency drive are
placed in the same installation panel, use an non-
shielded cable instead of a shielded one.

3.2 Mechanical Installation
Preparation of the mechanical installation of the adjustable
frequency drive must be done carefully to ensure proper
results and to avoid additional work during installation.
Start by taking a close look at the mechanical drawings at
the end of this instruction manual to become familiar with
the space demands.
3.2.1 Tools Needed
To perform the mechanical installation, the following tools
are needed:
•Drill with 10 or 12 mm (approx. 0.4 to 0.5 in) drill
•Tape measure
•Wrench with relevant metric sockets (7–17 mm -
approx. 0.3–0.75 in)
•Extensions to wrench
•Sheet metal punch for conduits or cable
connectors in IP21/Nema 1 and IP54 units
•Lifting bar to lift the unit (rod or tube max. Ø1 in
[25 mm], able to lift minimum 880 lbs [400 kg].
•Crane or other lifting aid to place the adjustable
frequency drive in position
3.2.2 General Considerations
Space
Ensure proper space above and below the adjustable
frequency drive to allow airflow and cable access. In
addition space in front of the unit must be considered to
enable opening the door of the panel.
