Symmetrical shielded cable with individual shields for each phase conductor ■ Additional guidelines, North America ABB recommends the use of metallic conduit for power wiring. ABB also recommends the use of symmetrical shielded VFD cable between drive and motor(s).
48 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation This table shows examples of methods for wiring the drive. Refer to NEC 70 along with state and local codes for the appropriate methods for your application. Wiring method Notes 1) 2) Conduit - Metallic Electrical metallic tubing: Type EMT Prefer symmetrical shielded VFD cable.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 49 requirement of the motor cable shield of the drive is shown below. It consists of a concentric layer of copper wires with an open helix of copper tape or copper wire. The better and tighter the shield, the lower the emission level and bearing currents.
50 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation ■ Signals that can be run in the same cable If their voltage does not exceed 48 V, relay-controlled signals can be run in the same cables as digital input signals. The relay-controlled signals should be run as twisted pairs.

Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 53 ■ 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).
54 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation ■ Protecting the drive, and the input power and motor cables against thermal overload If the cables have the correct size for the nominal current, the drive protects itself and the input and motor cables against thermal overload. No additional thermal protection devices are needed.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 55 Implementing motor temperature sensor connection WARNING! IEC 61800-5-1 requires double or reinforced insulation between live parts and accessible parts when: • the accessible parts are not conductive, or • the accessible parts are conductive, but not connected to the protective earth.
143). 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.
Guidelines for planning the electrical installation 57 When you select the vector motor control mode and the motor coast stop mode, you can open the contactor immediately after the drive has received the stop command. This is the case also if you use the scalar motor control mode. Protecting the contacts of relay outputs Inductive loads (relays, contactors, motors) cause voltage transients when switched off.

64 Electrical installation To identify the grounding system, examine the supply transformer connection. See the applicable electrical diagrams of the building. If that is not possible, measure these voltages at the distribution board, and use the table to define the grounding system type.
PE conductor. Motor cable Note: ABB recommends to use a symmetrical shielded cable (VFD cable) as the motor cable. Separate PE cable (motor side). Use a separate grounding cable for the motor side, if the conductivity of the shield is not sufficient, or if there is no symmetrically constructed PE conductor in the cable.
66 Electrical installation ■ Connection procedure WARNING! Obey the safety instructions of the drive. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation, commissioning or maintenance work.

136 Resistor braking 3. Calculate energy E with Equation 2. Rpulse 4. Select the resistor so that the following conditions are met: • The rated power of the resistor must be greater than or equal to P Rmax • Resistance R must be between R and R given in the table for the used drive type.
Do not use a brake resistor with a resistance below the minimum value specified for the particular drive. The drive and the internal chopper are not able to handle the overcurrent caused by the low resistance. ■ Reference brake resistors ACS180- Example resistor R min R max P BRcont...
IGBT semiconductors of the brake chopper. Note: ABB has not verified that the EMC requirements are fulfilled with custom brake resistors and cabling. The customer must consider the EMC compliance of the complete installation.
The drive has a brake thermal model which protects the brake resistor against overload. ABB recommends to enable the thermal model at start up. ABB recommends to equip the drive with a main contactor for safety reasons even when you have enabled the resistor thermal model. Wire the contactor so that it opens in case the resistor overheats.
140 Resistor braking ABB recommends that you also wire the thermal switch to a digital input of the drive, and configure the input to cause a fault trip at resistor overtemperature indication. Θ +24V Drive input power connection with a main contactor...

The Safe torque off function 143 The Safe torque off function Contents of this chapter This chapter describes the Safe torque off (STO) function of the drive and gives instructions for its use. Description The Safe torque off function can be used, for example, as the final actuator device of safety circuits (such as an emergency stop circuit) that stop the drive in case of danger.
144 The Safe torque off function Standard Name IEC 61000-6-7:2014 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – Part 6-7: Generic standards – Immunity requirements for equipment intended to perform functions in a safety-related system (functional safety) in industrial locations IEC 61326-3-1:2017 Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laborat- ory use –...

The Safe torque off function 149 Multiple ACS180 drives, external power supply 24 V DC – +24 V SGND SGND SGND Drive Control unit Activation switch ■ Activation switch In the wiring diagrams, the activation switch has the designation [K]. This represents a component such as a manually operated switch, an emergency stop push button switch, or the contacts of a safety relay or safety PLC.
The contacts of the switch or relay must open/close within 200 ms of each other. ■ Cable types and lengths • ABB recommends double-shielded twisted-pair cable. • Maximum cable lengths: • 300 m (1000 ft) between activation switch [K] and drive control unit •...
The Safe torque off function 151 Operation principle The Safe torque off activates (the activation switch is opened, or safety relay contacts open). 2. The STO inputs of the drive control unit de-energize. 3. The control unit cuts off the control voltage from the output IGBTs. 4.
152 The Safe torque off function Start-up including validation test To ensure the safe operation of a safety function, validation is required. The final assembler of the machine must validate the function by performing a validation test. The test must be performed at initial start-up of the safety function 2.

The Safe torque off function 155 • The Safe torque off function is ineffective against deliberate sabotage or misuse. • The Safe torque off function has been designed to reduce the recognized hazardous conditions. In spite of this, it is not always possible to eliminate all potential hazards.
If any wiring or component change is needed after start-up, or the parameters are restored, do the test given in section Validation test procedure (page 152). Use only spare parts approved by ABB. Record all maintenance and proof test activities in the machine logbook. ■ Competence...
See the firmware manual of the drive control program for the indications generated by the drive, and for details on directing fault and warning indications to an output on the control unit for external diagnostics. Any failures of the Safe torque off function must be reported to ABB.
