4.2.1 Requirements
;Check whether the information on the nameplate matches the
connection data.
;Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches
the device voltage.
;Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the
nameplate.
For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according
to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section
equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor.
We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG 26 / 0.13 mm².
Protective earth contact resistance according to EN 61800-5-1
Compliance with the resistance specifications according to EN 61800-5-

Operating instructions
K3G560-AQ08-68
Translation of the original operating instructions
4.2.3 Reactive currents
Because of the EMC filter integrated for compliance with EMC
limits (interference emission and immunity to interference),
reactive currents can be measured in the supply line even
when the motor is at a standstill and the line voltage is switched
on.
●The values are typically in the range < 500 mA.
●At the same time, the effective power in this operating state
(operational readiness) is typically < 6 W.
4.2.4 Residual current circuit breaker (RCCB)
If the use of a residual current device (RCD) is required in your
installation, only AC/DC-sensitive residual current devices
(type B or B+) are permissible. As with variable frequency
drives, residual current devices cannot provide personal safety
while operating the device. When the device power supply is
switched on, pulsed charging currents from the capacitors in the
integrated EMC filter can lead to the instant tripping of residual
current devices. We recommend the use of residual current
circuit breakers (RCCB) with a trip threshold of 300 mA and
delayed tripping (super-resistant, characteristic K).
4.2.5 Leakage current
For asymmetrical power systems or if a phase fails, the
leakage current can increase to a multiple of the nominal value.
4.2.6 Locked-rotor protection
Due to the locked-rotor protection, the starting current (LRA) is
equal to or less than the nominal current (FLA).
4.3 Connection in terminal box
4.3.1 Preparing cables for connection
Only strip the cable as far as necessary, ensuring that the cable gland is
sealed and there is no strain on the connections. For tightening torques,
see Chapter 3.1 Product drawing.
NOTE
Tightness and strain relief are dependent on the cable
used.
→ This must be checked by the user.

Legend: CL = control lines
4.3.2 Connecting wires to terminals
WARNING
Live terminals and connections even with device
switched off
Electric shock
→ Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles
before opening the device.
;Remove the cap from the cable gland.
Only remove caps where cables are fed in.
;Equip the cable glands with the seals provided in the terminal box.
;Route the wire(s) (not included in scope of delivery) into the terminal
box.
;First connect the "PE" (protective earth).
;Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.

4.3.3 Cable routing
Water must be prevented from reaching the cable gland along the cable.
NOTE
Damage caused by moisture penetration.
Moisture can penetrate into the terminal box if water is
constantly present at the cable glands.
→ To prevent the constant accumulation of water at the cable
glands, the cable should be routed in a U-shaped loop
wherever possible.
→ If this is not possible, a drip edge can be produced by
fitting a cable tie directly in front of the cable gland for example.
When routing the cable, make sure that the cable glands are located at
the bottom. The cables must always be routed downward.

NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration
Bearing damage, shorter service life
→ Low-vibration operation of the fan must be ensured over the
entire speed control range.
→ Severe vibration can arise for instance from inexpert
handling, transportation damage and resultant imbalance or
be caused by component or structural resonance.
→ Speed ranges with excessively high vibration levels and
possibly resonant frequencies must be determined in the
course of fan commissioning.
→ Either run through the resonant range as quickly as
possible with speed control or find another remedy.
→ Operation with excessively high vibration levels can
lead to premature failure.
→ The maximum permissible vibration severity must not
exceed 3.5 mm/s and should be checked at intervals of 6
months. #It is to be determined at the motor mount at the
motor support plate at least in axial direction and
transversely to this. #Measurement of the vibration in all
three axes is recommended and should be performed over
the entire speed range in order to obtain a complete picture of
the vibrations occurring in the application, see Chapter 6.
