•
Turn off, lockout, and tag out all power sources before proceeding to connect the power wiring to
the equipment.
•
After ensuring that all power sources are turned off and isolated in accordance with established
lockout/tag out procedures, connect 3-phase power source wiring of the correct voltage to the
correct input terminals and connect the output terminals to a motor of the correct voltage and type
for the application (refer to NEC Article 300 – Wiring Methods and Article 310 – Conductors For
General Wiring). Size the branch circuit conductors in accordance with NEC Table 310.16.
•
If multiple conductors are used in parallel for the input or output power and it is necessary to use
separate conduits, each parallel set shall have its own conduit (i.e., place U1, V1, W1, and a ground
wire in one conduit and U2, V2, W2 and a ground wire in another) (refer to NEC Article 300.20
and Article 310.4). National and local electrical codes should be referenced if three or more power
conductors are run in the same conduit (refer to 2008 NEC Article 310 adjustment factors).
•
Ensure that the 3-phase input power is
NOT
connected to the output of the ASD. This will damage
the ASD and may cause injury to personnel.
•
DO NOT
connect resistors across terminals PA – PC or PO – PC. This may cause a fire.
•
Ensure the correct phase sequence and the desired direction of motor rotation in the
Bypass
mode
(if applicable).
•
Turn the power on only after attaching and/or securing the front cover.
Protection
•
Ensure that primary protection exists for the input wiring to the equipment. This protection must be
able to interrupt the available fault current from the power line. The equipment may or may not be
equipped with an input disconnect (option).
•
All cable entry openings must be sealed to reduce the risk of entry by vermin and to allow for
maximum cooling efficiency.
•
Follow all warnings and precautions and do not exceed equipment ratings.
•
External dynamic braking resistors must be thermally protected. See the
Q9 Adjustable Speed
Drive Installation and Operation Manual
for further information on the requirements of the
Dynamic Braking setup and use.
•
It is the responsibility of the ASD installer/maintenance personnel to setup the
Emergency Off
braking system of the ASD. The function of the
Emergency Off
braking function is to remove
output power from the ASD in the event of an emergency. A supplemental braking system may also
be engaged in the event of an emergency.
For further information on braking systems, see
parameters
F250
and
F304
.
Note:
A supplemental emergency stopping system should be used with the ASD.
Emergency stopping should not be a task of the ASD alone.
