1.4 Product Overview
A frequency converter is an electronic motor controller
that converts AC mains input into a variable AC waveform
output. The frequency and voltage of the output are
regulated to control the motor speed or torque. The
frequency converter can vary the speed of the motor in
response to system feedback, such as position sensors on a
conveyor belt. The frequency converter can also regulate
the motor by responding to remote commands from
external controllers.
In addition, the frequency converter monitors the system
and motor status, issues warnings or alarms for fault
conditions, starts and stops the motor, optimizes energy
efficiency, and offers many more control, monitoring, and
efficiency functions. Operation and monitoring functions
are available as status indications to an outside control
system or serial communication network.

380-500 V At altitudes above 3 km, contact Danfoss regarding
PELV
525-690 V At altitudes above 2 km, contact Danfoss regarding
PELV.
Table 2.1
2.2 Frequency Converter and Motor Pre-
Installation Checklist
•Before unpacking the frequency converter, ensure
the packaging is intact. If any damage has
occurred, immediately contact the shipping
company to claim the damage.
•Before unpacking the frequency converter, locate
it as close as possible to the final installation site.
•Compare the model number on the nameplate to
what was ordered to verify the proper
equipment.
•Ensure each of the following are rated for the
same voltage:
Mains (power)
Frequency converter
Motor
•Ensure that frequency converter output current
rating is equal to or greater than motor full load
current for peak motor performance.
Motor size and frequency converter
power must match for proper overload
protection.
If frequency converter rating is less than
motor, full motor output cannot be
achieved.
2.3 Mechanical Installation
2.3.1 Cooling
•Top and bottom clearance for air cooling must be
provided. Generally, 225 mm (9 in) is required.
•Improper mounting can result in over heating
and reduced performance
•Derating for temperatures starting between 45°C
(113°F) and 50°C (122°F) and elevation 1000 m
(3300 ft) above sea level must be considered. See
VLT
® Design Guide, MG33BXYY for detailed
information.
The high power Danfoss VLT frequency converters utilize a
back-channel cooling concept that removes heatsink
cooling air, which carries approximately 90% of the heat
out of the back channel of the frequency converters. The
back-channel air can be redirected from the panel or room
using one of the kits below.
Duct cooling
A back-channel cooling kit is available to direct the
heatsink cooling air out of the panel when an IP20/chassis
frequency converters is installed in a Rittal enclosure. Use
of this kit reduces the heat in the panel and smaller door
fans can be specified on the enclosure.
Cooling out the back (top and bottom covers)
The back channel cooling air can be ventilated out of the
room so that the heat from the back channel is not
dissipated into the control room.
A door fan(s) is required on the enclosure to remove the
heat not contained in the backchannel of the frequency
converters and any additional losses generated by other
components inside the enclosure. The total required air
flow must be calculated so that the appropriate fans can
be selected.

WARNING
EQUIPMENT HAZARD!
Rotating shafts and electrical equipment can be hazardous.
All electrical work must conform to national and local
electrical codes. It is strongly recommended that instal-
lation, start up, and maintenance be performed only by
trained and qualified personnel. Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
WIRING ISOLATION!
Run input power, motor wiring and control wiring in three
separate metallic conduits or use separated shielded cable
for high frequency noise isolation. Failure to isolate power,
motor and control wiring could result in less than
optimum frequency converter and associated equipment
performance.

For your safety, comply with the following requirements
•Electronic controls equipment is connected to
hazardous mains voltage. Extreme care should be
taken to protect against electrical hazards when
applying power to the unit.
•Run motor cables from multiple frequency
converters separately. Induced voltage from
output motor cables run together can charge
equipment capacitors even with the equipment
turned off and locked out.
•Field wiring terminals are not intended to receive
a conductor one size larger.
Overload and Equipment Protection
•An electronically activated function within the
frequency converter provides overload protection
for the motor. The overload calculates the level of
increase to activate timing for the trip (controller
output stop) function. The higher the current
draw, the quicker the trip response. The overload
provides Class 20 motor protection. See
8 Warnings and Alarms for details on the trip
function.
•Because the motor wiring carries high frequency
current, it is important that wiring for mains,
motor power, and control are run separately. Use
metallic conduit or separated shielded wire. See
Illustration 2.3. Failure to isolate power, motor,
and control wiring could result in less than
optimum equipment performance.
•All frequency converters must be provided with
short-circuit and over-current protection. Input
fusing is required to provide this protection, see
Illustration 2.4. If not factory supplied, fuses must
be provided by the installer as part of installation.
See maximum fuse ratings in 10.3.1 Protection.

Wire Type and Ratings
•All wiring must comply with local and national
regulations regarding cross-section and ambient
temperature requirements.
•Danfoss recommends that all power connections
be made with a minimum 75°C rated copper
wire.
2.4.2 Earth (Ground) Requirements
WARNING
EARTHING (GROUNDING) HAZARD!
For operator safety, it is important to earth (ground) the
frequency converter properly in accordance with national
and local electrical codes as well as instructions contained
within this document. Earth (ground) currents are higher
than 3.5 mA. Failure to earth (ground) the frequency
converter properly could result in death or serious injury.
NOTE
It is the responsibility of the user or certified electrical
installer to ensure correct earthing (grounding) of the
equipment in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and standards.
•Follow all local and national electrical codes to
earth (ground) electrical equipment properly.
•Proper protective earthing (grounding) for
equipment with earth (ground) currents higher
than 3.5 mA must be established, see
2.4.2.1 Leakage Current (>3.5 mA).
•A dedicated earth wire (ground wire) is required
for input power, motor power and control wiring.
•Use the clamps provided with the equipment for
proper earth connections (ground connections).
•Do not earth (ground) one frequency converter to
another in a “daisy chain” fashion.
•Keep the earth (ground) wire connections as
short as possible.
•Using high-strand wire to reduce electrical noise
is recommended.
•Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
2.4.2.1 Leakage Current (>3.5 mA)
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
earthing of equipment with a leakage current > 3.5 mA.
Frequency converter technology implies high frequency
switching at high power. This will generate a leakage
current in the earth connection. A fault current in the
frequency converter at the output power terminals might
contain a DC component, which can charge the filter
capacitors and cause a transient earth current. The earth
leakage current depends on various system configurations
including RFI filtering, screened motor cables, and
frequency converter power.
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard)
requires special care if the leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
Earthing (grounding) must be reinforced in one of the
following ways:
•Earth (ground) wire of at least 10 mm2
•Two separate earth (ground) wires both
complying with the dimensioning rules.
See EN 60364-5-54 § 543.7 for further information.
Using RCDs
Where residual current devices (RCDs)–also known as earth
leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs)–are used, comply with the
following:
Use RCDs of type B only, which are capable of
detecting AC and DC currents.
Use RCDs with an inrush delay to prevent faults
due to transient earth currents.
Dimension RCDs according to the system configu-
ration and environmental considerations.

2.4.4 Motor Cable
The motor must be connected to terminals U/T1/96, V/
T2/97, W/T3/98. Earth (ground) to terminal 99. All types of
three-phase asynchronous standard motors can be used
with a frequency converter unit. The factory setting is for
clockwise rotation with the frequency converter output
connected as follows:
Terminal No. Function

2.4.5 Motor Rotation Check
The direction of rotation can be changed by switching two
phases in the motor cable or by changing the setting of
4-10 Motor Speed Direction.

2.4.6 AC Mains Input Connection
•Size wiring is based upon the input current of the
frequency converter.
•Comply with local and national electrical codes
for cable sizes.
•Connect 3-phase AC input power wiring to
terminals L1, L2, and L3 (see Illustration 2.11).

Illustration 2.11 Connecting to AC Mains
1 - Mains connection
2 - Motor connection
•Earth (ground) the cable in accordance with the
instructions provided.
•All frequency converters may be used with an
isolated input source as well as with earth
(ground) reference power lines. When supplied
from an isolated mains source (IT mains or
floating delta) or TT/TN-S mains with a grounded
leg (grounded delta), set 14-50 RFI Filter to OFF.
When off, the internal RFI filter capacitors
between the chassis and the intermediate circuit
are isolated to avoid damage to the intermediate
circuit and to reduce earth (ground) capacity
currents in accordance with IEC 61800-3.
2.5 Control Wiring Connection
•Isolate control wiring from high power
components in the frequency converter.
•If the frequency converter is connected to a
thermistor, for PELV isolation, optional thermistor
control wiring must be reinforced/double
insulated. A 24 V DC supply voltage is
recommended.

2.5.1 Access
All terminals to the control cables are located underneath
the LCP on the inside of the frequency converter. To
access, open the door (IP21/54) or remove the front panel
(IP20).
2.5.2 Using Screened Control Cables
Danfoss recommends braided screened/armoured cables to
optimise EMC immunity of the control cables and the EMC
emission from the motor cables.
The ability of a cable to reduce the incoming and
outgoing radiation of electric noise depends on the
transfer impedance (ZT). The screen of a cable is normally
designed to reduce the transfer of electric noise; however,
a screen with a lower transfer impedance (ZT) value is
more effective than a screen with a higher transfer
impedance (ZT).
Transfer impedance (ZT) is rarely stated by cable manufac-
turers but it is often possible to estimate transfer
impedance (ZT) by assessing the physical design of the
cable.
Transfer impedance (ZT) can be assessed on the basis of
the following factors:
-The conductibility of the screen material.
-The contact resistance between the individual
screen conductors.
-The screen coverage, i.e. the physical area of the
cable covered by the screen - often stated as a
percentage value.
-Screen type, i.e. braided or twisted pattern.
a. Aluminium-clad with copper wire.
b. Twisted copper wire or armoured steel wire cable.
c. Single-layer braided copper wire with varying
percentage screen coverage.
This is the typical Danfoss reference cable.
d. Double-layer braided copper wire.
e. Twin layer of braided copper wire with a
magnetic, screened/armoured intermediate layer.
f. Cable that runs in copper tube or steel tube.
g. Lead cable with 1.1 mm wall thickness.

2.5.3 Earthing (Grounding) of Screened
Control Cables
Correct screening
The preferred method in most cases is to secure control
and serial communication cables with screening clamps
provided at both ends to ensure best possible high
frequency cable contact. If the earth (ground) potential
between the frequency converter and the PLC is different,
electric noise may occur that will disturb the entire system.
Solve this problem by fitting an equalizing cable next to
the control cable. Minimum cable cross section: 16 mm2.

50/60 Hz earth (ground) loops
With very long control cables, earth loops (ground loops)
may occur. To eliminate earth (ground) loops, connect one
end of the screen-to-earth (ground) with a 100 nF
capacitor (keeping leads short).
