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.
(option +F255). Multidrive modules ■ You can order a pre-selected main contactor (breaker) from ABB. See the appropriate drive or supply module hardware manual. Follow these guidelines when you select a customer-defined main contactor: • Dimension the contactor according to the nominal voltage and current of the drive. Also consider the environmental conditions such as surrounding air temperature.
Electrical planning guidelines 17 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) •...
18 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.

Add-on kit 1) 400 V and 500 V single-module units: Option +E205. 690 V units, and units with parallel-connected modules: Standard. 2) For ordering information, see the ACS880-104 inverter modules hardware manual [3AUA0000104271 (English)]. Additional requirements for explosion-safe (EX) motors If you will use an explosion-safe (EX) motor, follow the rules in the requirements table above.
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: •...
Electrical planning guidelines 25 Additional data for calculating the rise time and the peak line-to-line voltage The diagrams below show the relative peak line-to-line voltage and rate of change of voltage as a function of the motor cable length. If you need to calculate the actual peak voltage and voltage rise time considering the actual cable length, proceed as follows: •...
26 Electrical planning guidelines Selecting the power cables General guidelines ■ Select the input power and motor cables according to local regulations. • Current: Select a cable capable of carrying the maximum load current and suitable for the prospective short-circuit provided by the supply network. The method of installation and ambient temperature affect the cable current carrying capacity.

28 Electrical planning guidelines Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling Symmetrical shielded (or armored) cable with three phase conductors and a shield (or armor), and separ- ate PE conductor/cable 1) A separate PE conductor is required if the conductivity of the shield (or armor) is not sufficient for the PE use. Alternate power cable types Cable type Use as input power cabling...
Electrical planning guidelines 29 Not allowed power cable types Cable type Use as input power cabling Use as motor cabling Symmetrical shielded cable with in- dividual shields for each phase conductor Power cable shield ■ If the cable shield is used as the sole protective earth (PE) conductor, make sure that its conductivity agrees with the PE conductor requirements.
Relay cable ■ The cable type with braided metallic shield (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL, Germany) has been tested and approved by ABB. Control panel to drive cable ■ Use EIA-485 with male RJ-45 connector, cable type Cat 5e or better. The maximum permitted length of the cable is 100 m (328 ft).
Electrical planning guidelines 31 Routing the cables General guidelines – IEC ■ • Route the motor cable away from other cables. Motor cables of several drives can be run in parallel installed next to each other. • Install the motor cable, input power cable and control cables on separate trays. •...
32 Electrical planning guidelines Separate control cable ducts ■ Put 24 V DC and 230 V AC (120 V AC) control cables in separate ducts, unless the 24 V DC cable is insulated for 230 V AC (120 V AC) or insulated with an insulation sleeving for 230 V AC (120 V AC).
In addition, drive with ACS880-307…+A003 diode supply unit equipped with suply module frame D6D or D7D: Protect the input power cable with the ABB-specified fuses. See the supply unit hardware manual. The fuses protect the cable, and limit the short-circuit current of the drive.
34 Electrical planning guidelines Multidrive modules The drive has an overload protection as standard when the supply unit, inverter units and other units are sized and installed correctly. See the appropriate hardware manuals. Protecting the motor cables against thermal overload ■...
Electrical planning guidelines 35 Implementing a motor temperature sensor connection WARNING! IEC 61800-5-1 requires double or reinforced insulation between live parts and accessible parts when: • the accessible parts are not conductive, or • the accessible parts are conductive, but not connected to the protective earth. Obey this requirement when you plan the connection of the motor temperature sensor to the drive.
36 Electrical planning guidelines • temperature sensor types that you can connect to each option module • temperature sensor insulation requirement in order to form, together with the insulation of the option module, a reinforced insulation between the motor live parts and the drive control unit.
Electrical planning guidelines 37 Note: As standard, the drive contains capacitors connected between the main circuit and the frame. These capacitors and long motor cables increase the ground leakage current and may cause fault current circuit breakers to function.

Using a safety switch between the drive and the motor ABB recommends to install a safety switch between the permanent magnet motor and the drive output. The switch is needed to isolate the motor from the drive during maintenance work on the drive.
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 some cabinet-installed drive types. Consult ABB for more information. WARNING! Never connect the drive output to the electrical power network. The connection may damage the drive.
