The installation must always be designed and made according to applicable local laws and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations. Furthermore, if the recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience problems that the warranty does not cover.
Depending on the drive size, you can order it either with a main contactor (option +F250), or a main breaker (option +F255). ■ Multidrive modules You can order a pre-selected main contactor (breaker) from ABB. See the appropriate drive or supply module hardware manual. Obey these guidelines when you select a customer-defined main contactor: •...
Electrical planning guidelines 15 Selecting the supply transformer ■ Basic guidelines 1. Define the apparent power of the transformer: • if the drive is equipped with a diode supply unit, or a regenerative supply unit, use this equation: (kVA) = 1.32 × sum of the motor shaft powers (kW) •...
16 Electrical planning guidelines ■ Additional notes A drive larger than 500 kVA with an IGBT supply unit or a regenerative rectifier unit Use a two-winding transformer dedicated to drives and motors. Alternatively, use a three-winding transformer, and connect only drives and motors to the same secondary winding.
(If short-circuit impedance Zk = 5%, variation can be maximum + 0.15%.) • No grounding of the secondaries • Static shield is recommended. Three-winding transformer Two two-winding transformers Two parallel-connected supply units See the appropriate supplement for the parallel-connected supply units, or contact ABB for instructions in selecting the transformer(s).
Examining the compatibility of the motor and drive Use asynchronous AC induction motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, AC induction servomotors or ABB synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM motors) with the drive. Select the motor size and drive type from the rating table on basis of the AC line voltage and motor load.

If you will use an explosion-safe (EX) motor, follow the rules in the requirements table above. In addition, consult the motor manufacturer for any further requirements. Additional requirements for ABB motors of types other than M2_, M3_, M4_, HX_ and Use the selection criteria given for non-ABB motors.
The rated output power of high-output motors is higher than what is stated for the particular frame size in EN 50347 (2001). If you plan to use a non-ABB high-output motor or an IP23 motor, consider these additional requirements for protecting the motor insulation and bearings in drive systems: •...

24 Electrical planning guidelines Selecting the power cables ■ General rules Select the input power and motor cables according to local regulations. Obey these rules: • Select a cable capable of carrying the drive (or motor) nominal current. • Select a cable rated for at least 70 °C (158 °F) maximum permissible temperature of conductor in continuous use.
Electrical planning guidelines 25 ■ Alternative power cable types Recommended power cable types This section presents the recommended cable types. Check with local / state / country electrical codes for allowance. Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling Symmetrical shielded (or armored) cable with three phase conductors and concentric PE conductor as...
26 Electrical planning guidelines Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling Yes with motors up to 100 kW (135 hp). A potential equalization between the frames of motor and driven equipment is required. Well-shielded (Al/Cu shield or ar- mor) four-conductor cable (three phase conductors and a PE) WARNING!
Electrical planning guidelines 27 Insulation jacket Helix of copper tape or copper wire Copper wire screen Inner insulation Cable core ■ Additional US requirements Use a metal conduit, type MC continuous corrugated aluminum armor cable with symmetrical grounds, or symmetrical shielded cable for the motor cabling. For the North American market, 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC.
■ Relay cable type The cable type with braided metallic screen (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL, Germany) has been tested and approved by ABB. ■ Control panel cable length and type In remote use, the cable connecting the control panel to the drive must not be longer than three meters (10 ft).
Electrical planning guidelines 29 Routing the cables ■ Guidelines for routing the cables • Route the motor cable away from other cables. • Avoid long parallel runs of power cables with other cables. See the allowed minimum distances below. You can install motor cables of several drives in parallel. •...
30 Electrical planning guidelines ■ Separate control cable ducts Lead 24 V and 230 V (120 V) control cables in separate ducts unless the 24 V cable is insulated for 230 V (120 V) or insulated with an insulation sleeving for 230 V (120 V). 24 V DC 230 V AC (120 V AC)
Addition: Equip the input power cables feeding a diode supply unit with D6D or D7D supply module with the ABB specified fuses. Fuses protect the cable and limit short-circuit current in the supply unit. Cabinet-installed multidrives: See ACS800-307 (+A003) diode supply units hardware manual [3AUA0000102453 (English)].

For the wiring, start-up and operation instructions, see Safely-limited speed user’s manual. ■ Multidrive modules Safely-limited speed function is not available as an option from ABB. However, the cabinet builder can implement it with an optional safety module available from ABB. See Implementing the functions provided by the FSO-xx safety functions module (page 36).
Electrical planning guidelines 37 ■ Multidrive modules You can order a safety function module from ABB. The cabinet builder can use the module for implementing various safety functions. Supplying power for the auxiliary circuits ■ Cabinet-installed multidrives The drive is equipped with an auxiliary control voltage transformer which supplies control voltage, for example, for the control devices and cabinet fan(s).
38 Electrical planning guidelines Implementing the Power-loss ride-through Implement the power-loss ride-through function as follows: • Check that the power-loss ride-through function of the drive (inverter unit) is enabled. See the drive firmware manual. • Make sure that the control of the main contactor/breaker either keeps the contactor closed over the short power break, or closes it after the break automatically.
IEC/EN 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, “THIS MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY”. Bypass connection is available as a factory-installed option for certain cabinet-built drive types.

Note: Circuit breakers must not be used without fuses in the USA. For suitable circuit breakers, contact your local ABB representative. WARNING! The opening of the branch-circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, current-carrying parts and other components of the controller should be examined and replaced if damaged.
