PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives User Manual

Installation/Wiring 1-51• PowerFlex 750-Series drives generate harmonic current emissions on theAC supply system. When operated on a public low-voltage network it isthe responsibility of the installer or user to ensure that applicablerequirements of the distribution network operator have been met.Consultation with the network operator and Rockwell Automation maybe necessary.!ATTENTION: PowerFlex 750-Series drives produce DCcurrent in the protective earthing conductor which may reducethe ability of RCD’s (residual current-operated protectivedevices) or RCM’s (residual current-operated monitoringdevices) of type A or AC to provide protection for otherequipment in the installation.Installation Requirements Related to EN 61800-5-1 and the Low VoltageDirective• 600V and 690V class PowerFlex 750-Series drives are designed to be CEcompliant only if they are NOT connected to “corner-earthed” supplysystems where one of the three phases of the supply system has beenearthed.• Voltage classes up to 480V PowerFlex 750-Series drives are compliantwith the CE LV Directive when used on a “corner-earthed” supplysystem as well as all other common supply systems for altitudes up toand including 2000 m (6562 ft).• When used at altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft) up to a maximum of4865 m (15,961 ft), PowerFlex 750-Series drives of voltage classes up to480V may not be powered from a “corner-earthed” supply system inorder to maintain compliance with the CE LV Directive.• Drives provided in the IP54, NEMA/UL Type 12 enclosure arecompliant with the CE LV Directive when installed in pollution degree1…4 environments. All other enclosure types must be installed in apollution degree 1 or 2 environment to be compliant with the CE LVDirective. Characteristics of the different pollution degree ratings areprovided on page A-7.• NEMA/UL Open Type and Flange Mount drives must either be installedin a supplementary enclosure or equipped with a “NEMA Type 1 Kit” tobe CE compliant with respect to protection against electrical shock.• PowerFlex 750-Series drives produce leakage current in the protectiveearthing conductor which exceeds 3.5 mA AC and/or 10 mA DC. Theminimum size of the protective earthing (grounding) conductor used inthe application must comply with local safety regulations for highprotective earthing conductor current equipment.PowerFlex 750-Series User Manual – Publication 750-UM001C-EN-P – September 2009
