1 DE1... series1.8 Proper useDE1… Variable Speed Starter 11/16 MN040011EN www.eaton.com 191.8 Proper useThe DE1... variable speed starters are not domestic appliances. They aredesigned only for industrial use as system components.The DE1... variable speed starters are electrical devices for controlling vari-able speed drives with three-phase motors. They are designed for installationin machines or for use in combination with other components within amachine or system.If the variable speed starter is installed in a machine, it is prohibited to placeit into operation until it has been determined that the corresponding machinemeets the safety and protection requirements set forth in Machinery SafetyDirective 2006/42/EC (e.g., by complying with EN 60204). The user isresponsible for ensuring the machine application’s compliance withEC Directives.The CE marking on DE1 variable speed starters confirms that the devices,when used in a typical drive configuration, comply with the European Union’sLow Voltage and EMC Directives (Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC,EMC 2004/108/EC, and RoHS 2011/65/EU).When used with the described system configuration, DE1... variable speedstarters are suitable for use with public and private electrical power networks.Connecting a DE1... variable speed starter to an IT network (network withouta direct connection to earth potential) is only permissible under certainconditions, as the device’s internal filter capacitors will connect the networkto earth potential (enclosure).In unearthed networks, this can result in hazardous situations or damage tothe device (insulation monitoring is required!).Always observe the technical data and connection conditions!The corresponding information can be found on the variable speed starter’srating plate and in the relevant documentation. Any other use will beconsidered to be an improper use of the device.￫ Do not do the following at the DE1... variable speed starter’soutput (terminals U, V, W):• connect a voltage or capacitive loads (e.g. phasecompensation capacitors),• Connect multiple variable speed starters to each other inparallel• make a direct connection to the input (bypass).
