LEROY-SOMER reverses the right to modify the characteristics of its products at any time in order to incorporate the latest
technological developments. The information contained in this document is therefore be changed without notice.
CAUTION
For the user’s safety, the variable speed drive must be connected to an approved earth ( terminal).
If accidentally starting the installation is likely to cause a risk to personnel or the machines being driven, it is essential to comply
with the power connection diagrams recommended in this manual.
The variable speed drive is tted with safety devices which, in the event of a fault, order it to stop and, at the same time, stop
the motor. The motor itself can become jammed for mechanical reasons. Voltage uctuations, and in particular power cuts, may
also cause the motor to stop. The removal of the causes of the shutdown can lead to restarting, which may be dangerous for
certain machines or installations.
In such cases, it is essential that the user takes appropriate precautions against the motor restarting after an unscheduled stop.
The variable speed drive is designed to be able to supply a motor and the driven machine above its rated speed.
If the motor or the machine are not mechanically designed to withstand such speeds, the user may be exposed to serious
danger resulting from their mechanical deterioration.
Before programming a high speed, it is important that the user checks that the installation can withstand it.
The variable speed drive which is the subject of this manual is designed to be integrated in an installation or an electrical
machine, and can under no circumstances be considered to be a safety device. It is therefore the responsibility of the machine
manufacturer, the designer of the installation or the user to take all necessary precautions to ensure that the system complies
with current standards, and to provide any devices required to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.
Using the drive for hoisting: when using this application, it is essential to follow the special instructions in an application-specic
manual which is available on request. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain this manual from his usual LEROY-SOMER
contact.
LEROY-SOMER declines all responsibility in the event of the above recommendations not being observed.

SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES
1 - General
Depending on their degree of protection, variable speed drives
may contain unprotected live parts, which may be moving or
rotating, as well as hot surfaces, during operation.
Unjustied removal of protection devices, incorrect use, faulty
installation or inappropriate operation could represent a
serious risk to personnel and equipment.
For further information, consult the documentation.
All work relating to transportation, installation, commissioning
and maintenance must be performed by experienced,
qualied personnel (see IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384, or
DIN VDE 0100 and national specications for installation and
accident prevention).
In these basic safety instructions, qualied personnel means
persons competent to install, mount, commission and operate
the product, and possessing the relevant qualications.
2 - Use
Variable speed drives are components designed for integration
in installations or electrical machines.
When integrated in a machine, commissioning must not take
place until it has been veried that the machine conforms with
directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive). It is also
necessary to comply with standard EN 60204, which stipulates
in particular that electrical actuators (which include variable
speed drives) cannot be considered as circuit-breaking
devices and certainly not as isolating switches.
Commissioning can taken place only if the requirements of the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC 2004/108/EC)
are met.
The variable speed drives meet the requirements of the
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. The harmonised
standards of the DIN VDE 0160 series in connection with
standard VDE 0660, part 500 and EN 60146/VDE 0558 are
also applicable.
The technical characteristics and instructions concerning the
connection conditions specied on the nameplate and in the
documentation provided must be observed without fail.
3 - Transportation, storage
All instructions concerning transportation, storage and correct
handling must be observed.
The climatic conditions specied in the technical manual must
be observed.
4 - Installation
The installation and cooling of equipment must comply with
the specications in the documentation supplied with the
product.
Variable speed drives must be protected against any excessive
stress. In particular, there must be no damage to parts and/or
modication of the clearance between components during
transportation and handling. Avoid touching electronic
components and contact parts.
The variable speed drives contain parts which are sensitive to
electrostatic stresses and may be easily damaged if handled
incorrectly. Electrical components must not be exposed to
mechanical damage or destruction (risks to health!).
5 - Electrical connection
When work is performed on variable speed drives which are
powered up, national accident prevention regulations must be
respected.
The electrical installation must comply with the relevant speci-
cations (for example conductor cross-sections, protection via
fused circuit-breaker, connection of protective conductor). More
detailed information is given int the documentation.
Instructions for an installation which meets the requirements
for electromagnetic compatibility, such as screening, earthing,
presence of lters and correct insertion of cables and
conductors, are given in the documentation supplied with the
variable speed drives. These instructions must be followed in
all cases, even if the variable speed drive carries the CE mark.
Adherence to the limits given in the EMC legislation is the
responsibility of the manufacturer of the installation or the
machine.
6 - Operation
Installations which incorporate variable speed drives must be
tted with additional protection and monitoring devices as
specied in current relevant safety regulations, such as the
law on technical equipment, accident prevention regulations,
etc. Modications to the variable speed drives using control
software are permitted.
Active parts of the device and the live power connections must
not be touched immediately after the variable speed drive is
powered down, as the capacitors may still be charged. In view
of this, the warnings xed to the variable speed drives must
be observed.
Permanent magnet motors generate electrical energy while
they are rotating, even when the drive is switched o󰀨. In this
case, the drive continues to be powered by the motor terminals.
If the load is capable of turning the motor, a switching device
must be provided upstream of the motor to isolate the drive
during maintenance operations.
During operation, all doors and protective covers must be kept
closed.
7 - Servicing and maintenance
Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
See the Maintenance section in this document.
This manual is to be given to the end user.
(In accordance with the low voltage directive 2006/95/EC)
Throughout the manual this symbol warns of consequences which may arise from inappropriate use of the drive, since
electrical risks may lead to material or physical damage as well as constituting a re hazard.

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWERDRIVE FX Installation guide
4729 en - 2017.08 / c
1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 - General
The POWERDRIVE FX is an electrical drive with ux vector
control, designed for supplying asynchronous or synchronous
3-phase motors.
The POWERDRIVE FX has a rectier with IGBT bridge
controlled at the frequency of the mains supply, which has the
following advantages:
- Motor energy feedback to the mains supply (operation in all 4
quadrants of the torque/speed plane without energy
dissipation),
- Limiting of the level of current harmonics generated on the
power supply line, at a much lower level than that of a
conventional 6-pilse drive using a line reactor.
The POWERDRIVE FX is a variable speed drive with very high
performance levels that can be used to control:
- Induction motors without speed sensor (Open loop mode
select ) for applications that do not need rated torque
control above 1/10th of the rated speed.
- Asynchronous or synchronous permanent magnet motors
with virtual speed feedback (Flux vector mode with software
sensor function ) for applications that require rated torque
control from 1/20th of the rated speed.
Combined with the MDX-ENCODER option, the
POWERDRIVE FX is a drive that can also be used to control
asynchronous or synchronous magnet machines for
applications that require very high dynamic performances or
torque control from zero speed (Closed loop vector mode with
speed feedback ).
• POWERDRIVE FX drives are designed for
installation in a cabinet or an enclosure to ensure
protection from conducting dust and condensation.
Prevent access by unauthorised personnel.

3 - CONNECTIONS
• All connection work must be performed in
accordance with the laws in force in the country in
which the drive is installed. This includes earthing to
ensure that no directly accessible part of the drive can be
at the mains voltage or any other voltage which may be
dangerous, a source of serious injury, malfunctions or
electromagnetic interference.
• The voltages on the cables or connections of the
mains supply, the motor or the lter may cause fatal
electric shocks. Contact with these items must be avoided
under all circumstances.
• The drive must be supplied via a circuit-breaking
device so that it can be powered down safety.
• The drive power supply must be protected against
overloads and short-circuits.
• The drive stop function does not protect against
high voltages on the terminal blocks.
• Check that the voltage and current of the drive, the
motor and the mains supply are compatible.
• After the drive has been operating, keep away from
the heatsink as it may be very hot (+70°C).
• When the drive controls a permanent magnet
motor, only one motor can be connected to the drive output.
It is advisable to install a circuit-breaking device between
the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the drive
output. This breaker isolates the motor during maintenance
work on the drive.

3.1.3 - Cables and fuses
• It is the responsibilityof the user to connect and provide protection for the POWERDRIVE FX in accordance with the
current legislation and regulations in the country of use. This is particularly important as regards the size of the
cables, the type and rating of fuses, the earth or ground connection, powering down, acknowledging trips, isolation and
protection against overcurrents.
• This table is given for information only, and must under no circumstances be used in place of the current standards.

(1) The value of the rated current and the motor cable cross-sections are given for information only. As a reminder, the motor rated
current permitted by the drive varies according to the switching frequency and the temperature.
(2) The recommended cross-sections have been determined for single-conductor copper cable with a maximum length of 10 m.
For longer cables, take line drops due to the length into account.
Note:
• The cable cross-sections are dened according to the following model:
E.g. for a 100T drive in normal duty, a cable cross-section of (3 x 95 + 50) is given, i.e. 1 bundle consisting of 3 phase conductors
(cross-section 95) and 1 earth conductor (cross-section 50).
• The Ico output currents are given at an ambient temperature of 40°C. For a temperature above 40°C, derate the current by 1.5%
for every additional degree up to a maximum temperature of 50°C.

3.2 - Connection of the control
• The POWERDRIVE FX inputs have a positive logic
conguration. Using a drive with a control system
which has a di󰀨erent control logic may cause unwanted
starting of the motor.
• The POWERDRIVE FX control circuit is isolated
from the power circuits by single insulation. Its electronic
0V is connected to the connection terminal on the outer
protective conductor (earth terminal). The installer must
ensure that the external control circuits are isolated
against any human contact.
• If the control circuits need to be connected to
circuitconformingto SELV safetyrequirements,additional
insulation must be inserted to maintain the SELV
classication (see EN 61140).
