applications.
Indicates an essential or important procedure, condition, or statement.
Qualified personnel
For the purpose of this Instruction Manual , a “Qualified person” is someone who is skilled to the installation, mounting,
start-up and operation of the equipment and the hazards involved. This operator must have the following qualifications:
- trained in rendering first aid.
- trained in the proper care and use of protective equipment in accordance with established safety procedures.
- trained and authorized to energize, de-energize, clear, ground and tag circuits and equipment in accordance with
established safety procedures.

2.2 Safety precaution
The following instructions are provided for your safety and as a means of preventing damage to the product or
components in the machines connected. This section lists instructions, which apply generally when handling electrical
drives.
Specific instructions that apply to particular actions are listed at the beginning of each chapters.
Read the information carefully, since it is provided for your personal safety and will also help prolong the service life of
your electrical drive and the plant you connect to it.
2.3 General warnings
This equipment contains dangerous voltages and controls potentially dangerous rotating
mechanical parts. Non-compliance with Warnings or failure to follow the instructions contained in
this manual can result in loss of life, severe personal injury or serious damage to property.
Only suitable qualified personnel should work on this equipment, and only after becoming familiar
with all safety notices, installation, operation and maintenance procedures contained in this manual.
The successful and safe operation of this equipment is dependent upon its proper handling,
installation, operation and maintenance.
In the case of faults, the drive, even if disabled, may cause accidental movements if it has not been
disconnected from the mains supply.
Electrical Shock
The DC link capacitors remain charged at a hazardous voltage even after cutting off the power
supply.
Never open the device or covers while the AC Input power supply is switched on. Minimum time to
wait before working on the terminals or inside the device is listed in next page (see “Minimum time
required for safe DC-link voltage”).
Electrical Shock and Burn Hazard:
When using instruments such as oscilloscopes to work on live equipment, the oscilloscope’s
chassis should be grounded and a differential probe input should be used. Care should be used in
the selection of probes and leads and in the adjustment of the oscilloscope so that accurate
readings may be made. See instrument manufacturer’s instruction book for proper operation and
adjustments to the instrument.
Fire and Explosion Hazard:
Fires or explosions might result from mounting Drives in hazardous areas such as locations where
flammable or combustible vapors or dusts are present. Drives should be installed away from
hazardous areas, even if used with motors suitable for use in these locations.

3 Product Identification
The basic technical data of the inverter are included in the product code and data plate.
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).

4 Electrical Installation
4.1 ADL300 Typical Installation and Main Sections
The ADL300 is composed of two parts where the cables must be connected: power section (P-ADL) and regulation
section (R-ADL). Here a typical connection schema using phase contactors (for single contactor or contactorless
connections see ADL300 Quick Start Manual).
4.1.1 Power Section (P-ADL)
The power section that is supplied by the main and provides the power to the motor. The terminals available in the
power section of the drive are the followings:
•L1 -L2 - L3: terminals for connection to the main
•U – V - W: terminals for connection to the motor
•C – D: terminals for direct connection to the DC bus.
•BR: terminal for the connection of the braking resistor
•EM: terminal for the connection of the Emergency system (see chapter 6.7).

•Terminal T1 and T3: Input / Output Interfaces
•Terminal XE and XER: Feedback Interfaces (XER is available in the version ADL300B with repetition)
•Terminal Safety: Safety (positioned in the bottom part of the drive)

4.2 Power section wiring
4.2.1 Connection of shielding (recommended)
Loosen the two screws (B), put the metal support (A) (optional, POWER SHIELD KIT) in place and screw down tightly.
Fasten the power cable shield to the omega sections (C) as illustrated in the figure.
• Sizes 4 and 5 : for these sizes the metal support (A) is not provided. Cable shielding must be provided by the installer.
4.2.2 EMC guide line
In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio inference, in which case supplementary mitigation
measures may be required.
The converters are protected in order to be used in industrial environments where, for immunity
purposes, large amounts of electromagnetic interference can occur. Proper installation practices
will ensure safe and trouble-free operation. If you encounter problems, follow the guidelines which
follow.
- Check for all equipment in the cabinet are well grounded using short, thick grounding cable connected to a
common star point or busbar. Better solution is to use a conductive mounting plane and use that as EMC
ground reference plane.
- Flat conductors, for EMC grounding, are better than other type because they have lower impedance at
higher frequencies.
- Make sure that any control equipment (such as a PLC) connected to the inverter is connected to the same
EMC ground or star point as the inverter via a short thick link.
- Connect the return ground from the motors controlled by the drives directly to the ground connection ( )
on the associated inverter.
- Separate the control cables from the power cables as much as possible, using separate trunking, if
necessary at 90º to each other.
- Whenever possible, use screened leads for the connections to the control circuitry
- Ensure that the contactors in the cubicle are suppressed, either with R-C suppressors for AC contactors or
‘flywheel’ diodes for DC contactors fitted to the coils. Varistor suppressors are also effective. This is
important when the contactors are controlled from the inverter relay.
- Use screened or armored cables for the motor connections and ground the screen at both ends using the
cable clamps.
For further information regarding electro-magnetic compatibility standards, according to Directive EMC 2014/30/EU, conformity checks carried
out on Gefran appliances, connection of filters and mains inductors, shielding of cables, ground connections, etc., consult the “Electro-magnetic
compatibility guide” (https://www.gefran.com/en/download/2700/attachment/all).

4.2.3 Internal EMC filter (standard)
The ADL300.-...-F-.. series of inverters are equipped with an internal EMI filter (optional for the ADL300-...-2M series)
able to guarantee the performance levels required by EN 12015, first environment, with max 10 m of shielded motor
cable.
Compliance with these requirements means the drive can be incorporated into lift systems built to EN 12015.
4.2.4 Power line connection
Recommended combination F1 fuses: see paragraph 5.1.1. of ADL300 QS manual (code 1S9QSEN).

ADL300 - Fast installations and commissioning Pag. 15 of 52
4.2.5 Connection of AC and DC chokes (optional)
(For three-phase ADL300 only). The drive can use both a three-phase choke on the AC power line and, for 4 to 22 kW
drives only, a DC choke between terminals C1 and C. Refer to chapter 5.2 of ADL300 QS manual (code 1S9QSEN) for
the recommended connections.
If no DC choke is used on 4 to 22 kW drives, terminals C1 and C must be bridged.
If no DC choke is used, terminals C1 and C must be bridged (sizes 1-2 e 3).

4.2.6 Motor connection
4.2.7 Connection of braking resistor (optional)
Recommended combination braking resistors: see paragraph 5.4 of ADL300 QS manual (code 1S9QSEN).
For sizes 5750 and 5370 an optional external BUy braking unit can be used and connected to terminals Cand D. Refer to the BUy handbook for
further information.
