4.2.1 Requirements
;Check whether the data on the nameplate match 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.
Ground conductor contact resistance according to EN 60335
Compliance with the impedance specifications according to EN 60335
for the protective earth connection circuit must be verified in the end
application.
Depending on the circumstances of installation, it may be necessary to
connect an additional protective earth conductor to the extra protective
earth terminal on the device.
4.2.2 Voltage control
With speed control using transformers or electronic voltage
regulators (e.g. phase control), excessive current may occur.
In addition, depending on how the device is installed, noises
can occur with phase control.
4.2.3 Variable frequency drive
Please use a variable frequency drive only after consultation with ebm-
papst.
For operation with variable frequency drives, install sinusoidal
filters that work on all poles (phase-phase and phase-ground)
between the drive and the motor.
During operation with variable frequency drives, an all-pole
sine filter protects the motor against high-voltage transients that
can destroy the coil insulation system, and against harmful
bearing currents.
Heating of the motor due to use of a variable frequency drive must be
checked in the application by the customer.
4.3 Connecting the cables
The device has external leads.
;First connect the "PE" (protective earth).
●Connect the cables according to your application. When doing so,
