102 Electrical installation Connecting the motor cables (units without common motor terminal cubicle) If the drive is equipped with a common motor terminal cubicle (option +H359), follow the procedure starting on page 113. Output busbars The motor cables are to be connected to the output busbars behind each inverter module. The location and dimensions of the busbars are visible in the dimensional drawings delivered with the drive, as well as the example drawings presented in this manual (starting on page 214).
Electrical installation 103 Connection diagram (with option +H366) With option +H366, the output busbars of the inverter modules within the same cubicle are connected by bridging busbars. The bridging balances the motor current between the modules, which allows more cabling options. For example, it is possible to use a number of cables that could not otherwise be evenly distributed between the inverter modules.
104 Electrical installation Procedure The procedure involves removing the fan carriage of each inverter module, making the connections, and reinserting the fan carriage. To allow more room for making the connections, the inverter module can be removed completely instead of just the fan carriage. To do this, follow the procedure under Removing the inverter module (page 106).
106 Electrical installation Removing the inverter module To allow more room for cabling work, the inverter module can be removed completely instead of only the fan carriage. Refer to the drawings below. WARNING! Obey the instructions in chapter Safety instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.

If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur. 1. Do the steps in section Precautions before electrical work (page 21) before you start the work.
112 Electrical installation Re-inserting the fan carriage of an inverter module (If the inverter module was removed completely instead of only the fan carriage, proceed to section Re-inserting the inverter module into the cubicle below.) The re-installation of the fan carriage is the removal procedure in reverse. See section Removing and reinstalling the fan carriage of an inverter module (page 104).
Electrical installation 113 Connecting the motor cables (units with common motor terminal cubicle) Output busbars If the drive is equipped with option +H359, the motor is connected to a common motor terminal cubicle.

Resistor braking 235 Resistor braking Contents of this chapter This chapter tells how to select, protect and wire brake choppers and resistors. The chapter also contains the related technical data. Operating principle The brake chopper handles the energy generated by a decelerating motor. The chopper connects the brake resistor to the intermediate DC circuit whenever the voltage in the circuit exceeds the limit defined by the control program.
236 Resistor braking Factory-installed brake choppers and resistors The following brake choppers (option +D150) and resistors (+D151) are available for the ACS880-37 as factory-installed. It is also possible to use option +D150 with a custom resistor assembly. ACS880-37 type Brake chopper type (+D150)

The maximum length of the resistor cable(s) is 50 m (164 ft). EMC compliance of the complete installation Note: ABB has not verified that the EMC requirements are fulfilled with custom brake resistors and cabling. The EMC compliance of the complete installation must be considered by the customer.
Resistor braking 241 Thermal protection of the resistors The standard resistors available as option +D151 are equipped with a thermal switch. The switches of the resistors are wired in series and connected to the Enable input of the brake chopper. The relay output of the chopper is wired to the supply control unit so that a chopper fault condition stops the supply unit.
242 Resistor braking Connection procedure WARNING! Obey the instructions in chapter Safety instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur. • Do the steps in section Precautions before electrical work (page 21) before you start the work.
