1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection

The NX frequency converter must always be earthed via a conductor connected to the earthing

terminal .

The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects only the converter itself against earth faults in the motor or the motor cable.

If fault current protective switches (e.g. RCD or Earth Leakage devices) are to be used in conjunction with the frequency converter, they must be tested with earth fault currents that are possible to arise in fault situations.

MOTOR RUN CHECK LIST

 

1

Before starting the motor, check that the motor is mounted properly

 

and ensure that the machine connected to the motor allows the

 

 

 

 

motor to be started.

 

2

Set the maximum motor speed (frequency) according to the motor

 

and the machine connected to it.

 

 

 

3

Before reversing the motor shaft rotation direction make sure that

WARNING

this can be done safely.

 

 

4

Ensure that no power correction capacitors are connected to the

 

motor cable.

 

 

 

5

Ensure that the motor terminals are not connected to mains

 

potential.
