1.1.3 W iring
WARNING
Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency AC drives and associated
machinery should plan or implement the wiring. Failure to comply may result in personnel
injury and/or equipment damage.
Wiring must strictly conform to this manual. Failure to comply may result in personnel
injury and/or equipment damage.
Make sure the input power supply has been completely disconnected before wiring.
Failure to comply may result in personnel injury and/or equipment damage.
All wiring operations must comply with EMC and safety regulations and/or electrical
codes, and the conductor diameter should conform to recommendations of this manual.
Failure to comply may result in personnel injury and/or equipment damage.
Since overall leakage current of this equipment may be bigger than 3.5mA, for safety's
sake, this equipment and its associated motor must be well grounded so as to avoid risk
of electric shock.
Be sure to implement wiring in strict accordance with the marks on this equipment’s
terminals. Never connect three-phase power supply to output terminals U/T1, V/T2 and
W/T3. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
Install braking resistors at terminals /B1 and B2 only. Failure to comply may result in
equipment damage.
Wiring screws and bolts for main circuit terminals must be screwed tightly. Failure to
comply may result in equipment damage.
AC 220V signal is prohibited from connecting to other terminals than control terminals
RA, RB and RC. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.

Emotron VSB Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Safety Precautions
ATTENTION
Since all adjustable frequency AC drives from CG Drives & Automation have been
subjected to hi-pot test before delivery, users are prohibited from implementing such a
test on this equipment. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
Signal wires should to the best of the possibility be away from main power lines. If this
cannot be ensured, vertical cross-arrangement shall be implemented, otherwise
interference noise to control signal may occur.
If motor cables are longer than 100m, it is recommended output AC reactor be used.
Failure to comply may result in faults.
1.1.4 Running
WARNING
Drives which have been stored for more than 2 years should be used with voltage
regulator to gradually boost the voltage when applying power to the drives. Failure to
comply may result in equipment damage.
Be sure to confirm the completion and correctness of the drive wiring and close the
cover before applying power to the drive. Do not open the cover after applying power.
Failure to comply may result in electric shock hazard.
After applying the power, never touch the drive and peripheral circuits no matter what
state the drive is under, otherwise there will be electric shock hazard.
Prior to the running of the drive, check there is no person in surrounding area who can
reach the motor so as to prevent personal injury.
Only qualified technicians familiar with adjustable frequency AC drives are allowed to
perform signal test during operation. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage
and/or personal injury.
Never change the drive parameters at will. Failure to comply may result in equipment
damage.

Emotron VSB Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Safety Precautions
ATTENTION
Make sure the number of phases of power supply and rated voltage are consistent with
product nameplate. If not, contact the seller or CG Drives & Automation.
Check there are no short circuits in peripheral circuits connected with the drive, and
make sure the connection is tight. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
Make sure the motor and associated machinery are within allowable range of service
prior to operation. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
Never touch fans, heat sink and braking resistor with bare hands. Failure to comply may
result in equipment damage and/or personal injury.
It is not allowed to start & stop the driver frequently via direct switching power on or off.
Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
Make sure the drive is in a non-output status before switch-on/switch-off of the drive
output and/or contactor. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
1.1.5 Maintenance
WARNING
Only qualified technicians are allowed to implement the
maintenance, and
troubleshooting.
Never implement the maintenance, and troubleshooting before power supply has been
turned off and discharged completely. Failure to comply may result in equipment
damage and/or personal injury.
To avoid an electric shock hazard, wait at least 10 minutes after the power has been
turned off and make sure the residual voltage of the bus capacitors has discharged to
0V before performing any work on the drive.
After the replacement of the drive, be sure to perform the same procedures in strict
accordance with above-noted rules.
ATTENTION
Do not touch the electric components with bare hands during maintenance, and
troubleshooting. Failure to do this may result in component damage due to ESD.
All pluggable components can be inserted or pulled out only when power has been
turned off.

Emotron VSB Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Safety Precautions
1.2 Other Considerations
1.2.1 Input Power Supply
This series of drives are not applicable to applications out the range of operating voltage as set
forth in this manual. If necessary, please use booster to rise or drop the voltage to regulated
voltage range.
1.2.2 Surge Protection
This series of drives are furnished with surge suppressor that has certain resistance to lightning
induction. However, users in areas with frequent occurrence of lightning need to mount an
external surge suppressor in front of the drive power input side.
1.2.3 Operation of Contactor
As to the configuration of peripheral devices recommended by this manual, it is necessary to
mount a contactor between the power supply and this drive input side. Such a contactor should
not be used as a control device for start and stop of the drive, as frequent charging &
discharging shall reduce the service life of internal electrolytic capacitors.
When it is necessary to mount a contactor between the drive output and the motor, it
should be ensured the drive is in a non-output status before switch-on/switch-off of such a
contactor. Failure to comply may result in drive damage.
1.2.4 Output Filter
Since the drive output is PWM high frequency chopping voltage, mounting filter devices such
as an output filter and an output AC reactor between the motor and the drive shall effectively
reduce output noise, avoiding interference to other surrounding equipments.
If the length of cable between the drive and the motor exceeds 100m, an output AC reactor
is recommended to use with the purpose of preventing drive fault as a result of overcurrent
caused by excessive distributed capacitance. An output filter is optional depending on field
requirements.
Be sure not to mount phase-shifting capacitor or surge absorber at output side of the drive
since this may result in drive damage as a result of over-temperature.
1.2.5 Insulation of the motor
In view of the fact that the drive output is PWM high frequency chopping voltage accompanied
by higher harmonics, the noise, temperature rise and vibration of the motor is higher compared
with sinusoidal voltage. Particularly this debases motor insulation. Therefore, the motor should
be subjected to insulation inspection before initial use or reuse after being stored for a long
- 6 -

Emotron VSB Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Safety Precautions
period of time. The motor in regular service should also be subjected to regular insulation
inspection so as to avoid the drive damage as a result of motor insulation damage.
1.2.6 Derating
Due to the thin air in high-altitude areas, the radiating performance of the drive with forced air
cooling may degrade while the electrolyte of electrolytic capacitors is more volatile, which can
result in reduction in product life. Drive should be derated when used in an area at the altitude
above 1000 meters. It is recommended to derate 1% for every 100m when the altitude is above
1000 meters.
