3.1 Electrical Installation
3.1.1 Power Connections
Cabling and Fusing
NOTE
Cables General
All cabling must comply with national and local
regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient
temperature. UL applications require 75 °C copper
conductors. 75 and 90 °C copper conductors are thermally
acceptable for the frequency converter to use in non UL
applications.
The power cable connections are situated as shown below.
Dimensioning of cable cross section must be done in
accordance with the current ratings and local legislation.
See the Specifications section for details.
For protection please see fuse in the tables of the fuse
section. Always ensure that proper fusing is made
according to local regulation.
NOTE
Use a screened/armoured motor cable to comply with EMC
emission specifications. For more information, see EMC
specifications in the AF-600 FPDesign Guide.
See section 7 General Specifications for correct
dimensioning of motor cable cross-section and length.
Screening of cables:
Avoid installation with twisted screen ends (pigtails). They
spoil the screening effect at higher frequencies. If it is
necessary to break the screen to install a motor isolator or
motor contactor, the screen must be continued at the
lowest possible HF impedance.
Connect the motor cable screen to both the de-coupling
plate of the frequency converter and to the metal housing
of the motor.
Make the screen connections with the largest possible
surface area (cable clamp). This is done by using the
supplied installation devices within the frequency
converter.
Cable-length and cross-section:
The frequency converter has been EMC tested with a given
length of cable. Keep the motor cable as short as possible
to reduce the noise level and leakage currents.
Switching frequency:
When frequency converters are used together with Sine-
wave filters to reduce the acoustic noise from a motor, the
switching frequency must be set according to the
instruction in F-26 Motor Noise (Carrier Freq).

3.1.2 Earthing
The following basic issues need to be considered when
installing a frequency converter, so as to obtain electro-
magnetic compatibility (EMC).
•
Safety earthing: Please note that the frequency
converter has a high leakage current and must be
earthed appropriately for safety reasons. Apply
local safety regulations.
•
High-frequency earthing: Keep the earth wire
connections as short as possible.
Connect the different earth systems at the lowest possible
conductor impedance. The lowest possible conductor
impedance is obtained by keeping the conductor as short
as possible and by using the greatest possible surface area.
The metal cabinets of the different devices are mounted
on the cabinet rear plate using the lowest possible HF
impedance. This avoids having different HF voltages for
the individual devices and avoids the risk of radio
interference currents running in connection cables that
may be used between the devices. The radio interference
will have been reduced.
In order to obtain a low HF impedance, use the fastening
bolts of the devices as HF connection to the rear plate. It is
necessary to remove insulating paint or similar from the
fastening points.
3.1.3 Extra Protection (RCD)
ELCB relays, multiple protective earthing or earthing can
be used as extra protection, provided that local safety
regulations are complied with.
In the case of an earth fault, a DC component may
develop in the fault current.
If ELCB relays are used, local regulations must be observed.
Relays must be suitable for protection of 3-phase
equipment with a bridge rectifier and for a brief discharge
on power-up.
See also the section Special Conditions in the Design Guide.
3.1.4 Drives with Factory installed A1/B1
RFI Filter Option:
Mains supply isolated from earth
If the frequency converter is supplied from an isolated
mains source ( IT mains, floating delta and grounded delta)
or TT/TN-S mains with grounded leg, the RFI switch is
recommended to be turned off (OFF) via SP-50 RFI Filter on
the drive and SP-50 RFI Filter on the filter. For further
reference, see IEC 364-3. In case optimum EMC
performance is needed, parallel motors are connected or
the motor cable length is above 25 m, it is recommended
to set SP-50 RFI Filter to [ON].
In OFF, the internal RFI capacities (filter capacitors)
between the chassis and the intermediate circuit are cut
off to avoid damage to the intermediate circuit and to
reduce the earth capacity currents (according to IEC
61800-3).
It is important to use isolation monitors that are capable
for use together with power electronics (IEC 61557-8).
3.1.5 Torque
When tightening all electrical connections it is very
important to tighten with the correct torque. Too low or
too high torque results in a bad electrical connection. Use
a torque wrench to ensure correct torque
Illustration 3.11 Always use a torque wrench to tighten the
bolts.

3.1.6 Shielded Cables
It is important that shielded and armoured cables are
connected in a proper way to ensure the high EMC
immunity and low emissions.
The connection can be made using either cable glands or
clamps:
•
EMC cable glands: Generally available cable
glands can be used to ensure an optimum EMC
connection.
•
EMC cable clamp: Clamps allowing easy
connection are supplied with the frequency
converter.

CAUTION
Check the name plate to ensure that the mains voltage of
the frequency converter matches the power supply of your
plant.
Ensure that the power supply can supply the necessary
current to the frequency converter.
3.1.11 External Fan Supply
Unit size 4x, 5x and 6x
In case the drive is supplied by DC or if the fan must run
independently of the power supply, an external power
supply can be applied. The connection is made on the
power card.
Terminal No. Function
100, 101
102, 103
Auxiliary supply S, T
Internal supply S, T
The connector located on the power card provides the
connection of line voltage for the cooling fans. The fans
are connected from factory to be supplied form a common
AC line (jumpers between 100-102 and 101-103). If external
supply is needed, the jumpers are removed and the supply
is connected to terminals 100 and 101. A 5 Amp fuse
should be used for protection. In UL applications this
should be LittleFuse KLK-5 or equivalent.

3.1.12 Fuses
It is recommended to use fuses and/ or Circuit Breakers on
the supply side as protection in case of component break-
down inside the drive (first fault).
NOTE
This is mandatory in order to ensure compliance with IEC
60364 for CE or NEC 2009 for UL.
WARNING
Personnel and property must be protected against the
consequence of component break-down internally in the
drive.
Branch Circuit Protection
In order to protect the installation against electrical and
fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch
gear, machines etc., must be protected against short-circuit
and over-current according to national/international
regulations.
NOTE
The recommendations given do not cover Branch circuit
protection for UL.
Short-circuit protection:
GE recommends using the fuses/Circuit Breakers
mentioned below to protect service personnel and
property in case of component break-down in the drive.
Over current protection:
The drive provides overload protection to limit threats to
human life, property damage and to avoid fire hazard due
to overheating of the cables in the installation. The drive is
equipped with an internal over current protection
(F-43 Current Limit) that can be used for upstream overload
protection (UL-applications excluded). Moreover, fuses or
Circuit Breakers can be used to provide the over current
protection in the installation. Over current protection must
always be carried out according to national regulations.
3.1.13 Recommendations
WARNING
In case of malfunction, not following the recommendation
may result in personnel risk and damage to the drive and
other equipment.
The following tables list the recommended rated current.
Recommended fuses are of the type gG for small to
medium power sizes. For larger powers, aR fuses are
recommended. Circuit breakers must be used provided
they meet the national/international regulations and they
limit the energy into the drive to an equal or lower level
than the compliant circuit breakers.
If fuses/Circuit Breakers according to recommendations are
chosen, possible damages on the drive will mainly be
limited to damages inside the unit.
