Grounding system compatibility check

The standard drive can be an be installed to a symmetrically grounded TN-S system.
For other systems, see sections
below.
￭

EMC filter

To connect the drive to symmetrically grounded TN-S systems, you should connect
the internal EMC filter if you are concerned with EMC issues. See section
connect EMC filter or disconnect ground-to-phase varistor: TN-S, IT,
corner-grounded delta and midpoint-grounded delta systems (page
WARNING!
Do not install the drive with the EMC filter connected to a system that the
filter is not suitable for. This can cause danger, or damage the drive.
Note: When the internal EMC filter is disconnected, the drive EMC compatibility is
considerably reduced.

Ground-to-phase varistors (VAR)

A drive with the ground-to-phase varistor connected can be installed to a
symmetrically grounded TN-S system. If you install the drive to another system,
you may need to disconnect the varistor. See
disconnect ground-to-phase varistor: TN-S, IT, corner-grounded delta and
midpoint-grounded delta systems (page

WARNING!
Do not install the drive with the ground-to-phase varistor connected to a
system that the varistor is not suitable for. If you do, the varistor circuit can
be damaged.
