G.6 Low Voltage Directive and EN50178
To ensure compliance with the Low Voltage Directive and EN50178, following these
requirements:
Electronic drives contain electrostatic sensitive devices, that can be damaged when
handled improperly. Qualified personnel must follow ESD protection measures. For
example: wear grounded heel and wrist straps when contacting drive.
The climatic conditions shall be in accordance with EN 50178 climatic class: Type B,
temperature and relative humidity: Class 3K3.
The drives shall be installed in an environment of Pollution Degree 2 or better.
The S200 drives are not considered portable and are to be mounted in the intended
manner in a motor/control cabinet having adequate strength and thickness with acceptable
spacing for the end product classification accessible by qualified personnel only. The
enclosure/cabinet shall meet at least the requirements of Protective Type IP2X according to
5.1 of EN 60529. If the top surface of the enclosure/cabinet is easily accessible it shall
meet at least the requirements of the Protective Type IP4X.
Care shall be taken to ensure that the larger device or enclosure that accommodates the
built-in device provides protection against direct contact.
The S200 drives may be erected in closed electrical operating areas if a protection against
direct contact is available or assigned for by means of obstacles and/or a distance
according to IEC 364-4-412.3 and IEC 364-4-412.4.
Follow IEC 536-2 and IEC 1140 for installation protection against electric shock.
Installation shall be performed in accordance with local electric codes, local accident
prevention rules, EN 50178 and EN 61800-3.
Never connect or disconnect any drive connectors or terminals while the power is switched
on.
Due to high leakage current, permanently install this drive (hard wired or fixed type). The
PE connection shall be made by two separate protective conductors satisfying the
requirements for protective conductors as given in 543 of HD 384.5.54 S1 between the
earth ground and the PE terminal(s) on the drive, or by a protective conductor having a
cross section of at least 10 mm
2
Cu. The S200 drives are designed to Protective Class I.
The discharge time for the bus capacitors may be as long as 5 minutes. After disconnecting
the drive from the ac mains be sure to wait 5 minutes before removing the drive’s cover and
exposing live parts.
The finished installation shall comply with the requirements of the IEC 364-4-41 series of
standards.
The cables and leads (except the protective conductors) used in the erection of the S200 in
an installation which are accessible for contact without opening or removing a barrier or are
laid on extraneous conductive parts shall have double or reinforced insulation between the
core and the surface or shall be surrounded by a metal screen having a satisfactory
current-carrying capacity in the event of a short-circuit between the core and the screen.
When installing the S200 into its operating location, it shall be ensured that any existing
protective separation according to 5.2.18 of EN50178 is maintained throughout the entire
length of the circuit in question. In installations the compliance for of the measures for
protective separation shall be checked by visual inspection.
Refer to Sections 1 and 4 of this manual for external fusing information.
Motor cable shield must be connected to protective earth.
During periods of extreme regeneration or excessively high input voltage the temperature
of the regen resistor may exceed 70 °C.
When using an external regen resistor, if regen cabling is accessible during normal
machine operation, regen resistor cable should be rated at 300 Vac and shielded with
shield connected to PE.
Consult the factory before using this product on a circuit protected by a residual-current-
operated protective device (RCD).
All covers shall be closed during operation.
The S200 drives should be used within their specified ratings.
