Safety instructionsWARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death,or damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualifiedelectrical professional, do not do electrical installation or maintenancework.• Keep the drive in its package until you install it. After unpacking, protect thedrive from dust, debris and moisture.• Use the required personal protective equipment: safety shoes with metal toecap, safety glasses, protective gloves and long sleeves, etc.• When the drive or connected equipment is energized, do not do work on thedrive, motor cable, motor, control cables or control circuits.• Do not do work on the drive when a rotating permanent magnet motor isconnected to it. A rotating permanent magnet motor energizes the drive,including its input and output power terminals. Electrical safety precautions1. Clearly identify the work location and equipment.2. Disconnect all possible voltage sources. Make sure that re-connection is notpossible. Lock out and tag out.• Open the main disconnecting device of the drive.• If you have a permanent magnet motor connected to the drive,disconnect the motor from the drive.• Disconnect any dangerous external voltages from the control circuits.• After you disconnect power from the drive, always wait 5 minutes to letthe intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you continue.3. Protect any other energized parts in the work location against contact.4. Take special precautions when close to bare conductors.5. Measure that the installation is de-energized.• Use a multimeter with a minimum impedance of 1 Mohm.• Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (U1,V1, W1) and the ground (PE) is close to 0 V.• Make sure that the voltage between the drive output terminals (U2, V2,W2) and the ground (PE) is close to 0 V.• Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (BRK+ andBRK-) and the ground (PE) is close to 0 V.6. Install temporary grounding as required by the local regulations.7. Ask the person in control of the electrical installation work for a permit towork.See the drive user’s manual for the complete safety instructions.1. Examine the installation areaThe drive is intended for cabinet installation and has a degree of protection ofIP20 / UL open type as standard.Make sure that in the installation area:• There is sufficient space above and below the drive for cooling, and hot airdoes not recirculate. Refer toFree space requirements.• The ambient conditions are suitable. Refer toAmbient conditions.• The mounting surface is non-flammable and can hold the weight of the drive.Refer toDimensions and weights.• Materials near the drive are non-flammable.• There are no sources of strong magnetic fields, such as high-current single-core conductors or contactor coils near the drive. A strong magnetic fieldcan cause interference in the operation of the drive.2. Install the driveYou can install the drive with screws or to a DIN rail [Top Hat, W x H = 35 ×7.5 mm (1.4 × 0.3 in)].• Make sure that there is a minimum of 75 mm (3 in) of free space above andbelow the drive for cooling air.• When placing drives on top of each other in a panel or cabinet, make surethat the hot air from the drives below do not directly enter the drive above.WARNING! Do not install the drive upside down. Make sure that thecooling air exhaust (at the top) is above the cooling air inlet (at thebottom). To install the drive with screws1. Cut out the mountingtemplate from thepackage and use it tomark the locations forthe mounting holes.2. Make the holes for themounting screws andinstall suitable plugs oranchors.—ABB MACHINERY DRIVESACS355 drivesQuick installation and start-up guide
