5.2 Electrical Requirements for Certications and Approvals
The standard conguration provided in this guide (drive
modules, control shelf, wire harnesses, fuses, and
microswitches) is UL and CE certied. The following
conditions must be met apart from the standard congu-
ration to obtain UL and CE regulatory approval
requirements. For a list of disclaimers, see
chapter 8.1 Disclaimer.
•
Use the frequency converter in a heated, indoor-
controlled environment. Cooling air must be
clean, free from corrosive materials, and
electrically conductive dust. See for specic limits.
•
Maximum ambient air temperature is 40 °C
(104 °F) at rated current.
•
The drive system must be assembled in clean air,
according to enclosure classication. To obtain UL
or CE certication regulatory approvals, drive
modules must be installed according to the
standard conguration provided in this guide.
•
Maximum voltage and current must not exceed
the values provided in chapter 7.1 Power-
dependent
Specications for the specied drive
conguration.
•
The drive modules are suitable for use on a
circuit capable of delivering not more than
100 kA rms symmetrical amperes at the drive
nominal voltage (600 V maximum for 690 V units)
when protected by fuses with the standard
conguration. Refer to chapter 5.4.1 Fuse Selection.
The ampere rating is based on tests done
according to UL 508C.
•
The cables located within the motor circuit must
be rated for at least 75 °C (167 °F) in UL-
compliant installations. The cable sizes have been
provided in chapter 7.1 Power-dependent Speci-
cations for the specied drive conguration.
•
The input cable must be protected with fuses.
Circuit breakers must not be used without fuses
in the U.S. Suitable IEC (class aR) fuses and UL
(class L or T) fuses are listed in chapter 5.4.1 Fuse
Selection. In addition, country-specic regulatory
requirements must be adhered to.
•
For installation in the U.S., branch circuit
protection must be provided according to the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable
local codes. To fulll this requirement, use UL-
classied fuses.
•
For installation in Canada, branch circuit
protection must be provided according to the
Canadian Electrical Code and any applicable
provincial codes. To fulll this requirement, use
the UL-classied fuses.
