ACS800-04 and ACS800-04M Drive Modules

Safety instructions

What this chapter contains

This chapter contains the safety instructions which you must follow when installing,

operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or

damage may occur to the drive, motor or driven equipment. Read the safety

instructions before you work on the unit.

Use of warnings and notes

There are two types of safety instructions throughout this manual: warnings and

notes. Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or

death and/or damage to the equipment. They also tell you how to avoid the danger.

Notes draw attention to a particular condition or fact, or give information on a

subject. The warning symbols are used as follows:

Dangerous voltage warning warns of high voltage which can cause

physical injury and/or damage to the equipment.

General warning warns about conditions, other than those caused by

electricity, which can result in physical injury and/or damage to the

equipment.

Electrostatic discharge warning warns of electrostatic discharge which

can damage the equipment.

Hot surface warning warns of hot surfaces which can cause physical

injury.

Installation and maintenance work

These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive, motor cable or motor.

WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or

damage to the equipment:

• Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain the drive.

• Never work on the drive, motor cable or motor when main power is applied.

After disconnecting the input power, always wait for 5 min to let the intermediate

circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the drive, motor or

motor cable.

Always ensure by measuring with a multimeter (impedance at least 1 Mohm)

that:

1. voltage between drive input phases U1, V1 and W1 and the frame is close to

0 V.

2. voltage between terminals UDC+ and UDC- and the frame is close to 0 V.

• Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the

external control circuits. Externally supplied control circuits may cause

dangerous voltages inside the drive even when the main power on the drive is

switched off.

• Do not make any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive or drive

modules.

• When reconnecting the motor cable, always check that the phase order is

correct.

• After maintaining or modifying a drive safety circuit or changing circuit boards

inside the module, retest the functioning of the safety circuit according to the

start-up instructions.

• Do not change the electrical installations of the drive except for the essential

control and power connections. Changes may affect the safety performance or

operation of the drive unexpectedly. All customer-made changes are on the

customer's responsibility.

Note:

• The motor cable terminals on the drive are at a dangerously high voltage when

the input power is on, regardless of whether the motor is running or not.

• The brake control terminals (UDC+, UDC-, R+ and R- terminals) carry a

dangerous DC voltage (over 500 V).

• Depending on the external wiring, dangerous voltages (115 V, 220 V or 230 V)

may be present on the terminals of relay outputs RO1 to RO3 or on the optional

AGPS board (Prevention of unexpected start-up, option +Q950).
