Checking Suitability of the drive. www.InvertekDrives.com
4. Checking Suitability of the drive.
4.1. Matching the drive to the Intended Power Supply
Check the drive rating label to ensure it matches the intended power supply, the label shows the
rated supply voltage and if the drive is suitable for single or 3-phase supply.
For three phase supply models, a maximum of 3% imbalance is allowed between phases.
If using an IT Supply network, or any power supply type where the phase to earth voltage may exceed the phase-to-phase voltage (such as
ungrounded supplies), the internal EMC filter and surge protection must be disconnected before connecting the supply.
A fixed installation is required according to IEC61800-5-1 with a suitable disconnecting device installed between the drive and the main Power
Source. The disconnecting device must conform to the local safety code / regulations (e.g. within Europe, EN60204-1, Safety of machinery).

5.1. Electrical Installation quick reference diagram
•Check Supply Voltage does not exceed drive Voltage rating.
•Check the number of supply phases is compatible with the drive.
•If the power supply has a low supply impedance /high short circuit current a Line
reactor/Isolation transformer maybe required.
•For generator Bourne power supplies please contact your IDL Authorised Distributor for
further guidance.
•Ensure there is at least 30 seconds between each power-on.
•Install suitably rated fuses/Circuit breakers
•If an earth leakage detection device is used (e.g.ELCB/RCD), a type B trip characteristic
which is suitable for protecting equipment with a DC component should be used, 1 device
for multiple drives should be avoided.
Install Line reactor as close to the drive as possible and under the following conditions:
•If phase-phase imbalance is >3% (3Ø drives).
•To reduce Inrush current.
•If power supply has a low supply impedance/high short circuit current.
•If power supply is prone to dips or brown-outs.
•If power supply is via a bus-bar and sliding contacts system.
•Reduction in mains Harmonic emission.
•Install External EMC filter if the motor cable length exceeds the Electromagnetic
interference reduction capability of the internal filter
•Do Not Use EMC filters on IT (Ungrounded) or a corner grounded TN power supply systems.

The drive will only start if all the below conditions are met:
•Safe Torque off inputs are enabled.
•A direction Command (DI1 or DI2) has been given.
•At least 1 speed has been selected.
Note : If more than 1 speed selection input is high the highest speed will be used.
Install Output Choke under the following conditions:
•If cable between the drive and motor exceeds 100m (screened cable), or 150m (un-
screened cable).
•If motor is not “inverter rated”.
Whenever possible use a motor that is designed for operation from an inverter. Install Output
Choke under the following conditions:
•If cable between the drive and motor exceeds 100m (screened cable), or 150m (un-
screened cable).
This manual is intended as a guide for proper installation. Invertek Drives Ltd cannot assume responsibility for the compliance or
the non-compliance to any code, national, local or otherwise, for the proper installation of this drive or associated equipment. A
hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if codes are ignored during installation.
This drive contains high voltage capacitors that take time to discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the
drive, ensure isolation of the main supply from line inputs. Wait ten (10) minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe voltage
levels. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards involved
should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in
their entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

5.3.1. Brake resistor Connections
The drive has an internal brake transistor fitted as standard and is enabled automatically when the regenerative energy from the load raises
the drives internal DC bus to 390Vdc for the single and three phase 230V drives and 780Vdc for the 3 phase 400V drive.
The brake resistor must be connected between the +DC and BR Terminals of the drive as shown in the images below, failure to do so can result
in damage to the drive/Brake resistor.
