42 Mechanical installation ■ To install the drive to a DIN installation rail Use an IEC/EN 60715 top hat type installation rail, width × height = 35 × 7.5 mm (1.4 × 0.3 in). 1. Move the locking part to the left. 2.
Page 43
Mechanical installation 43 6. Move the locking part to the right. 7. Make sure that the drive is correctly installed. To remove the drive, use a flat-head screwdriver to open the locking part.
ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations. Furthermore, if the recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience problems that the warranty does not cover.
Consider the application life time requirements. Checking the compatibility of the motor and drive Use asynchronous AC induction motor, permanent magnet synchronous motor or ABB synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM motors) with the drive. Multiple induction motors can be connected to the drive at a time when using the scalar motor control mode.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 47 Symmetrical shielded cable reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system as well as the stress on motor insulation, bearing currents and wear. Metal conduit reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system. The protective conductor must always have an adequate conductivity.
48 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation ■ Power cable types Preferred power cable types This section presents the preferred cable types. Make sure that the selected cable type also complies with local/state/country electrical codes. Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling Symmetrical shielded (or ar- mored) cable with three phase...
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 49 Alternate power cable types Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling Yes with phase conductor Yes with phase conductor smaller than 10 mm 2 (8 AWG) smaller than 10 mm 2 (8 AWG) Cu, or motors up to 30 kW (40 hp).
■ Additional guidelines, North America ABB recommends the use of conduit for power wiring to the drive and between the drive and the motor(s). Due to the variety of application needs, metallic and non-metallic conduit can be used. ABB prefers the use of metallic conduit.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 51 Wiring method Notes Free air Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable. Enclosures, air handlers, etc. Allowed internally in enclosures when in accord- ance with UL. 1) Metallic conduit may be used as an additional ground path, provided this path is a solid path capable of handling ground currents.
■ Relay cable The cable type with braided metallic shield (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL, Germany) has been tested and approved by ABB. ■ Control panel to drive cable Use EIA-485 with male RJ-45 connector, cable type Cat 5e or better. The maximum permitted length of the cable is 100 m (328 ft).
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 53 Routing the cables ■ General guidelines – IEC • Route the motor cable away from other cables. Motor cables of several drives can be run in parallel installed next to each other. • Install the motor cable, input power cable and control cables on separate trays.
54 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation • Use separate conduits for the input power, motor, brake resistor (optional), and control cabling. • Use separate conduit for each motor cabling. Input power cabling Motor cabling Conduit ■ Continuous motor cable shield/conduit or enclosure for equipment on the motor cable To minimize the emission level when safety switches, contactors, connection boxes or similar equipment are installed on the motor cable between the drive and the motor:...
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 55 ■ Separate control cable ducts Put 24 V DC and 230 V AC (120 V AC) control cables in separate ducts, unless the 24 V DC cable is insulated for 230 V AC (120 V AC) or insulated with an insulation sleeving for 230 V AC (120 V AC).
56 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation ■ Protecting the motor against thermal overload According to regulations, the motor must be protected against thermal overload and the current must be switched off when overload is detected. The drive includes a motor thermal protection function that protects the motor and switches off the current when necessary.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 57 1. If there is double or reinforced insulation between the sensor and the live parts of the motor: You can connect the sensor directly to the analog/digital input(s) of the drive. See the control cable connection instructions. 2.
181). Using a safety switch between the drive and the motor ABB recommends to install a safety switch between the permanent magnet motor and the drive output. The switch is needed to isolate the motor from the drive during maintenance work on the drive.

The protective characteristics of the circuit breakers depend on the type, construction and settings of the breakers. There are also limitations pertaining to the short-circuit capacity of the supply network. Your local ABB representative can help you in selecting the breaker type when the supply network characteristics are known.
Obey the manufacturer’s instructions. You can use the circuit breakers specified by ABB. You can also use other circuit breakers with the drive if they provide the same electrical characteristics. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for the correct function and protection of the circuit breakers not specified by ABB.
