Warning/Caution Notations
WARNING:
Personal injury/loss of life may
occur if you do not follow the
procedures as specified.
CAUTION:
Equipment damage, or loss of
data may occur if you do not
follow the procedures as
specified.
Expected Installation Time
45 minutes
Prerequisites
Mounting clearance: Leave six-inches (154
mm) of space at top and bottom for
equipment access. If fitted with a protective
shield, allow 12 inches (305 mm) of space
between the sides of each VFD to allow for
sufficient heat dissipation.
Inverter duty motors are recommended.
Install motors within their guidelines. Use
dVd/dT filters, output reactors, or other load
conditioners as applicable as applicable or
as specified by the motor manufacturer.
If a disconnect is mounted on the load side
of your drive, it is desirable to wire an
auxiliary contact to the drive that will disable
drive operation when the disconnect opens.
(The wiring for this contact must not be run
in the same conduit as the drive output
wires.)
CAUTION:
If installing a SED2 VFD after prolonged
storage, see the SED2 VFD Startup,
Operation and Maintenance Manual for
Mechanical Installation procedures.
(Document Number 125-3201).
Installation
CAUTION:
Height above sea level:
If installing a SED2 VFD at an altitude higher
than 3,280 ft (1000 m), de-rating is required.
CAUTION: :
Never run control or drive input
wires in the same conduit as the
drive output wires
Cable Length
Cable length is given to ensure performance of only
the drive, not the suitability of the motor when
connected to a drive at this distance.
Maximum cable length is 164 ft (50 m).
A load reactor is recommended for cable
distances
greater than
Keep the distance from the drive to the motor as
short as possible to maximize motor life.
164 ft (50 m).
