Planning the electrical
installation
What this chapter contains
The chapter contains the instructions that you must follow when checking the
compatibility of the motor and drive, selecting cables, protective devices, and cable
routing.
Note: The installation must always be completed according to applicable local laws
and regulations. 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 might experience
problems that are not covered by the warranty.
The installation methods described in this chapter will improve the reliability of the
system, reduce troubleshooting time, and optimize the EMC (electromagnetic
compatibility) behavior of the control system.
Checking the compatibility of the motor and drive
Check that the 3-phase AC motor and the drive are compatible according to the
Motor output power (X1) on page 139.
Selecting the supply disconnecting device
Install a hand-operated supply disconnecting device (disconnecting means) between
the AC power source and the drive. The disconnecting device must be of a type that
can be locked to the open position for installation and maintenance work.
