Danfoss recommends using the fuses and circuit breakers

listed in Table 3.7 to protect service personnel or other
equipment in case of an internal failure in the unit or a
short circuit on the DC link. The frequency converter
provides full short-circuit protection in case of a short
circuit on the motor.
Overcurrent protection
Provide overload protection to avoid overheating of the
cables in the installation. Overcurrent protection must
311 always be carried out according to local and national
regulations. Circuit breakers and fuses must be designed
for protection in a circuit capable of supplying a maximum
of 100000 Arms(symmetrical), 480 V maximum.
UL/Non-UL compliance
Illustration 3.19 Relays on Enclosure Size I6
To ensure compliance with UL or IEC 61800-5-1, use the

3.2.4 EMC-correct Electrical Installation

General points to be observed to ensure EMC-correct electrical installation:

• Use only shielded/armored motor cables and shielded/armored control cables.
• Ground the shield at both ends.
• Avoid installation with twisted shield ends (pigtails), because it reduces the shielding effect at high frequencies. 3 3
Use the cable clamps provided.
• Ensure the same potential between the frequency converter and the ground potential of PLC.
• Use star washers and galvanically conductive installation plates.

3.2.6 Acoustic Noise or Vibration

If the motor or the equipment driven by the motor - for

example, a fan - is making noise or vibrations at certain
frequencies, configure the following parameters or
parameter groups to reduce or eliminate the noise or
vibrations: 3 3
• Parameter group 4-6* Speed Bypass.
• Set parameter 14-03 Overmodulation to [0] Off.
• Switching pattern and switching frequency
parameter group 14-0* Inverter Switching.
• Parameter 1-64 Resonance Dampening.

6.3 Special Conditions

6.3.1 Derating for Ambient Temperature and Switching Frequency

Ensure that the ambient temperature measured over 24 hours is at least 5 °C (41 °F) lower than the maximum ambient
temperature that is specified for the frequency converter. If the frequency converter is operated at a high ambient
temperature, decrease the continuous output current. For derating curve, see VLT® HVAC Basic Drive FC 101 Design Guide.

6.3.2 Derating for Low Air Pressure and High Altitudes

The cooling capability of air is decreased at low air pressure. For altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft), contact Danfoss regarding
PELV. Below 1000 m (3281 ft) altitude, derating is not necessary. For altitudes above 1000 m (3281 ft), decrease the ambient
temperature or the maximum output current. Decrease the output by 1% per 100 m (328 ft) altitude above 1000 m (3281 ft)
or reduce the maximum ambient temperature by 1 °C (33.8 °F) per 200 m (656 ft).

6 6 6.4 General Technical Data

Protection and features
• Electronic motor thermal protection against overload.
• Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the frequency converter trips if there is overtemperature.
• The frequency converter is protected against short circuits between motor terminals U, V, W.
• When a motor phase is missing, the frequency converter trips and issues an alarm.
• When a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
• Monitoring of the DC-link voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips when the DC-link voltage is too low
or too high.
• The frequency converter is protected against ground faults on motor terminals U, V, W.
