Safety In Operation - ABB ACS580 Series Hardware Manual

28 Safety instructions
• Do not do work on the drive when a rotating permanent magnet motor is
connected to it. A rotating permanent magnet motor energizes the drive
including its input and output power terminals.
Before installation, start-up and maintenance work on the drive:
• Stop the drive.
• Disconnect the motor from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
• If you cannot disconnect the motor, make sure that the motor cannot rotate
during work. Make sure that no other system, like hydraulic crawling drives,
can rotate the motor directly or through any mechanical connection like belt,
nip, rope, etc.
• Do the steps in section
• Install temporary grounding to the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V, T3/W).
Connect the output terminals together as well as to the PE.
During the start-up:
• Make sure that the motor cannot run overspeed, for example, driven by the
load. Motor overspeed causes overvoltage that can damage or destroy the
capacitors in the intermediate circuit of the drive.

Safety in operation

WARNING!
Make sure that the motor cannot run overspeed, for example, driven by the
load. Motor overspeed causes overvoltage that can damage or destroy the
capacitors in the intermediate circuit of the drive.
