■ High voltage warning
The voltage of the frequency converter
is dangerous whenever the equipment
is connected to mains. Incorrect instal-
lation of the motor or the frequency converter may
cause damage to the equipment, serious personal
injury or death.
Consequently, the instructions in this Design Guide,
as well as national and local safety regulations, must
be complied with.
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after
disconnection from mains:
Using VLT 6002-6005 wait at least 4 minutes and
using VLT 6006-6275 wait at least 15 minutes.
NB!
It is the user's or certified electrician's
responsibility to ensure correct earthing and
protection in accordance with applicable national and
local norms and standards.

■ Earthing
The following basic issues need to be considered when
installing a frequency converter, so as to obtain
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

Safety earthing: Safety earthing:
Safety earthing: Please note that the frequency
converter has a high leakage current and must be
earthed appropriately for safety reasons. Apply
local safety regulations.

High-frequency earthing: High-frequency earthing:
High-frequency earthing: Keep the earth wire
connections as short as possible.
Connect the different earth systems at the lowest possible
conductor impedance. The lowest possible conductor
impedance is obtained by keeping the conductor as short
as possible and by using the greatest possible surface
area. A flat conductor, for example, has a lower HF
impedance than a round conductor for the same
conductor cross-section C
VESS
.
If more than one device is installed in cabinets, the
cabinet rear plate, which must be made of metal, should
be used as a common earth reference plate. The metal
cabinets of the different devices are mounted on the
cabinet rear plate using the lowest possible HF
impedance. This avoids having different HF voltages for
the individual devices and avoids the risk of radio
interference currents running in connection cables that
may be used between the devices. The radio
interference will have been reduced.
In order to obtain a low HF impedance, use the fastening
bolts of the devices as HF connection to the rear plate. It
is necessary to remove insulating paint or similar from
the fastening points.
■ Cables
Control cables and the filtered mains cable should be
installed separate from the motor cables so as to avoid
interference overcoupling. Normally, a distance of 20 cm
will be sufficient, but it is recommended to keep the
greatest possible distance wherever possible, especially
where cables are installed in parallel over a substantial
distance.
With respect to sensitive signal cables, such as
telephone cables and data cables, the greatest possible
distance is recommended with a minimum of 1 m per 5
m of power cable (mains and motor cable). It must be
pointed out that the necessary distance depends on the
sensitivity of the installation and the signal cables, and
that therefore no precise values can be stated.
If cable jaws are used, sensitive signal cables are not to
be placed in the same cable jaws as the motor cable or
brake cable.
If signal cables are to cross power cables, this should be
done at an angle of 90 degrees.
Remember that all interference-filled in- or outgoing
cables to/from a cabinet should be screened/armoured
or filtered.

■ Screened/armoured cables
The screen must be a low HF-impedance screen. This is
ensured by using a braided screen of cobber, aluminium
or iron. Screen armour intended for mechanical
protection, for example, is not suitable for an EMC-
correct installation.

■ Extra protection
ELCB relays, multiple protective earthing or earthing can
be used as extra protection, provided that local safety
regulations are complied with.
In the case of an earth fault, a DC content may develop
in the faulty current.
Never use ELCB relays, type A, since such relays are
not suitable for DC fault currents. If ELCB relays are
used, this must be done in accordance with local
regulations.
If ELCB relays are used, they must be:
• Suitable for protecting equipment with a direct
current content (DC) in the faulty current (3-phase
bridge rectifier)
• Suitable for power-up with short charging current
to earth
• Suitable for a high leakage current.
