1 Introduction1.1 Purpose of the Design GuideThis design guide is intended for project and systemsengineers, design consultants, and application and productspecialists. Technical information is provided to understandthe capabilities of the frequency converter for integrationinto motor control and monitoring systems. Detailsconcerning operation, requirements, and recommendationsfor system integration are described. Information isprovided for input power characteristics, output for motorcontrol, and ambient operating conditions for thefrequency converter.Also included are safety features, fault conditionmonitoring, operational status reporting, serial communi-cation capabilities, and programmable options. Designdetails such as site requirements, cables, fuses, controlwiring, the size and weight of units, and other criticalinformation necessary to plan for system integration is alsoprovided.Reviewing the detailed product information in the designstage enables developing a well-conceived system withoptimal functionality and efficiency.VLT® is a registered trademark.1.2 Additional ResourcesResources available to understand advanced frequencyconverter functions and programming:• The VLT® Parallel Drive Modules 250–1200 kWInstallation Guide provides instructions formechanical and electrical installation of thesedrive modules.• The VLT® Parallel Drive Modules 250–1200 kW UserGuide contains detailed procedures for start-up,basic operational programming, and functionaltesting.
