The inverter must be selected according to the rated current of the motor.
The rated output current of the drive must be higher than or equal to the rated current of the motor used.
The speed of the asynchronous motor depends on the number of pole pairs and frequency (plate and catalog data).
If using a motor at speeds above the rated speed, contact the motor manufacturer for any related mechanical problems
(bearings, unbalance, etc.). The same applies in case of continuous operation at frequencies of less than approx. 20 Hz
(inadequate cooling, unless the motor is provided with forced ventilation).

3 - Transport and storage
Correct transport, storage, erection and mounting, as well as careful operation and maintenance are essential for
proper and safe operation of the equipment.
Protect the inverter against physical shocks and vibration during transport and storage. Also be sure to protect it
against water (rainfall) and excessive temperatures.
Le bon accomplissement des opérations de transport, de stockage, d’installation et de montage, ainsi que
l’exploitation et l’entretien minutieux, sont essentiels pour garantir à l’appareil un fonctionnement adéquat et sûr.

If the Drives have been stored for longer than two years, the operation of the DC link capacitors may be impaired
and must be “reformed”. Before commissioning devices that have been stored for long periods, connect them to a
power supply for two hours with no load connected in order to regenerate the capacitors, (the input voltage has to be
applied without enabling the drive).
En cas de stockage des variateurs pendant plus de deux ans, il est conseillé de contrôler l’état des condensateurs
CC avant d’en eectuer le branchement. Avant la mise en service des appareils, ayant été stockés pendant long
temps, il faut alimenter variateurs à vide pendant deux heures, pour régénérer les condensateurs : appliquer une
tension d’alimentation sans actionner le variateur.
3.1 General
A high degree of care is taken in packing the ADL Drives and preparing them for delivery. They should only be
transported with suitable transport equipment (see weight data). Observe the instructions printed on the packaging.
This also applieswhen the device is unpacked and installed in the control cabinet.
Upon delivery, check the following:
- the packaging for any external damage
- whether the delivery note matches your order.
Open the packaging with suitable tools. Check whether:
- any parts were damaged during transport
- the device type corresponds to your order

(*) ADL500 can only operate on IT networks devoid of any faults (between active parts and PE) or in the presence of
temporary faults.
Therefore an insulation monitor MUST be used to detect and enable prompt removal of any fault condition.
Insulation monitor
Since the ADL500 drive is normally used in a ground-insulated system (IT), in accordance with IEC 61557-8, use of
insulation resistance monitoring is required.
The monitoring system must be able to detect insulation loss, both on the AC and DC power supply sides and on the
motor side.
A ground fault must be promptly detected and removed as quickly as possible to avoid damage to either the inverter
or the entire system as a unit (in the event of insulation loss, the drive must be immediately disabled and disconnected
from power sources).
The insulation monitor must be selected on a case-by-case basis according to the power supply, connection system
and type of drive.
Recommended insulation monitors e.g.: see the BENDER © ISOMETER® line.
The insulation monitor must be plugged into the main power supply (if ADL500 is AC powered) or the DC side (if
ADL300 is DC-powered).
The insulation monitor alarm threshold should be set to the highest possible resistance value.

Technical data for fuses, including dimensions, weights, power leakage, fuse carriers etc. are reported in the corresponding manufacturers' data sheets:
GRD... (E27), S00... = Jean Müller, Eltville; A70...= Ferraz.
5.2 Input chokes
The three-phase mains choke is strongly recommended in order to:
- limit the RMS input current of the ADL500 inverter.
- increase the life of intermediate circuit capacitors and reliability of input diodes.
- reduce mains harmonic content

A la suite de pannes, les résistances de freinage peuvent être sujettes à des surcharges imprévues. La protection des
résistances au moyen de dispositifs de protection thermique est absolument capitale. Ces dispositifs ne doivent pas inter-
rompre le circuit qui abrite la résistance, mais leur contact auxiliaire doit couper l’alimentation du côté puissance du drive.
