IMPORTANT NOTICE
These electronic drive products are intended to be used with appropriate motors, controllers, electrical
protection components and other equipment to form complete end products or systems. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the design of the complete machine, including its safety-related
control system, is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and any
other relevant legislation. The use of a safety-related drive in itself does not ensure the safety of the
machine. Compliance with safety and EMC regulations depends upon installing and configuring drives
correctly, including using the specified input filters. The drive must be installed only by professional
installers who are familiar with requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for
ensuring that the end product or system complies with all relevant laws in the country where it is to be
used. For more information regarding Safe Torque Off, refer to the Product Documentation.

1 Safety information
1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes

A Warning contains information which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.

WARNING

A Caution contains information which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the
product or other equipment.
CAUTION

NOTE A Note contains information, which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.

1.2 Important safety information. Hazards. Competence of

designers and installers
This guide applies to products which control electric motors either directly (drives) or indirectly
(controllers, option modules and other auxiliary equipment and accessories). In all cases the hazards
associated with powerful electrical drives are present, and all safety information relating to drives and
associated equipment must be observed.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
Drives and controllers are intended as components for professional incorporation into complete
systems. If installed incorrectly they may present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltages and
currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can
cause injury. Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid
hazards either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design,
installation, commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the
necessary training and competence. They must read this safety information and this guide carefully.

1.3 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is installed correctly with regard to
all instructions given in this guide. They must give due consideration to the safety of the complete
system, so as to avoid the risk of injury both in normal operation and in the event of a fault or of
reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation of the equipment.

1.4 Compliance with regulations

The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national wiring
regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations.
Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection of fuses
or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
This guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific EMC standards.
All machinery to be supplied within the European Union in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC Safety of machinery.
2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.

12 Unidrive M / HS Frame 7 to 10 Power Installation Guide

Issue Number: 11
1.5 Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal.

Safety information
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous voltage
may be present in any of the following locations:
• AC and DC supply cables and connections
• Output cables and connections
• Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be touched.
The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to
the electrical connections.

Product information
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the
output of the drive or from any external option unit.
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in this guide. Failure to observe
the instructions could result in a fire hazard.

1.6 Stored electrical charge

The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply

Mechanical installation
has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten
minutes before work may continue.

1.7 Mechanical hazards

Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or controller which might result in a
hazard, either through their intended behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any
application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow damage, loss
or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to reduce
the risk - for example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a

Electrical installation
fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the drive functions must be
used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related application. The system designer is
responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by personnel with the required
training and experience. The Safe Torque Off function will only ensure the safety of a machine if it is
correctly incorporated into a complete safety system. The system must be subject to a risk
Technical data

assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at an acceptable level for the
application.

1.8 Access to equipment

Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place
of use must be complied with.

1.9 Environmental limits

UL listing information

Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the equipment must be
complied with, including the specified environmental limits. This includes temperature, humidity,
contamination, shock and vibration. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.

1.10 Hazardous environments

The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment (i.e. a potentially explosive
environment).

Unidrive M / HS Frame 7 to 10 Power Installation Guide 13

Issue Number: 11
1.11 Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less effective,
causing a fire hazard. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor. The default
values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is essential that the correct value is entered in the
Motor Rated Current parameter.

1.12 Mechanical brake control

Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an external brake
with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high standards of quality and
robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure would result
in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism
could result in injury, independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.

1.13 Adjusting parameters

Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not be altered
without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to
prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.

1.14 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided in the relevant Power
Installation Guide. If the installation is poorly designed or other equipment does not comply with
suitable standards for EMC, the product might cause or suffer from disturbance due to
electromagnetic interaction with other equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that
the equipment or system into which the product is incorporated complies with the relevant EMC
legislation in the place of use.

3.1 Safety information
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must be adhered to. Any questions
or doubt should be referred to the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the
WARNING owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and any external option unit, and
the way in which they are operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of the
Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or applicable legislation and
regulations and codes of practice in the country in which the equipment is used.

Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must
WARNING be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual
fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed
in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Nidec Industrial Automation or their authorized
distributor.

Competence of the installer

The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who are familiar with the
requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end
WARNING
product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used.

Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It is
WARNING designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC
60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.

22 Unidrive M / HS Frame 7 to 10 Power Installation Guide

Issue Number: 11
3.2 Planning the installation
The following considerations must be made when planning the installation:

Safety information
3.2.1 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place
of use must be complied with.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating of the drive is installation dependent. For further information, refer
to section 3.8 Enclosing standard drive for high environmental protection on page 39.
3.2.2 Environmental protection
The drive must be protected from:

Product information
• Moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and condensation. An anti-condensation
heater may be required, which must be switched off when the drive is running.
• Contamination with electrically conductive material
• Contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or impair airflow over various
components
• Temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
• Corrosive gasses

Mechanical installation
NOTE During installation it is recommended that the vents on the drive are covered to prevent
debris (e.g. wire off-cuts) from entering the drive.

3.2.3 Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified operating temperature being
exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one,
and may need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
For further information, refer to section 3.5 Enclosure for standard drives on page 32.

Electrical installation
3.2.4 Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions. Electrical installation instructions are
given in Chapter 4 Electrical installation on page 54.
3.2.5 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1, standard for PV inverters) is
recommended. Technical data
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet requirements which can be
summarized for larger enclosures as using materials meeting at least UL 94 class 5VB at the point of
minimum thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure 3-1. Any part of the side
which is within the area traced out by the 5° angle is also considered to be part of the bottom of the
fire enclosure.

The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the bottom, must be designed to
prevent escape of burning material - either by having no openings or by having a baffle construction.
This means that openings for cables etc. must be sealed with materials meeting the 5VB
requirement, or else have a baffle above. See Figure 3-2 for acceptable baffle construction. This
does not apply for mounting in an enclosed electrical operating area (restricted access) with concrete
floor.

3.2.6 Electromagnetic compatibility

Variable speed drives are powerful electronic circuits which can cause electromagnetic interference if
not installed correctly with careful attention to the layout of the wiring.
Some simple routine precautions can prevent disturbance to typical industrial control equipment.
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that electromagnetically sensitive
equipment is located nearby, then full precautions must be observed. In-built into the drive, is an
internal EMC filter, which reduces emissions under certain conditions. If these conditions are
exceeded, then the use of an external EMC filter may be required at the drive inputs, which must be
located very close to the drives. Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made for
carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in section 4.11 EMC
(Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 75.
3.2.7 Hazardous areas
The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is installed in an approved
enclosure and the installation is certified

2. If an external EMC filter is to be used with each drive, add the dissipation figures from section
3.9.2 EMC filter ratings on page 44 for each external EMC filter that is to be installed in the

3. If the braking resistor is to be mounted inside the enclosure, add the average power figures from

4. Calculate the total heat dissipation (in Watts) of any other equipment to be installed in the
enclosure.
5. Add the heat dissipation figures obtained above. This gives a figure in Watts for the total heat that

Product information
will be dissipated inside the enclosure.
Calculating the size of a sealed enclosure
The enclosure transfers internally generated heat into the surrounding air by natural convection (or
external forced air flow); the greater the surface area of the enclosure walls, the better is the
dissipation capability. Only the surfaces of the enclosure that are unobstructed (not in contact with a
wall or floor) can dissipate heat.
Calculate the minimum required unobstructed surface area Ae for the enclosure from:

• Maximum ambient temperature outside the enclosure: 30 C Technical data
For example, if the power dissipation from each drive is 187 W and the power dissipation from each
external EMC filter is 9.2 W.
Total dissipation: 2 x (187 + 9.2) =392.4 W

enclosure are free to dissipate heat.
The value of 5.5 W/m2/ºC can generally be used with a sheet steel enclosure (exact
values can be obtained by the supplier of the material). If in any doubt, allow for a greater
margin in the temperature rise.

3.6 Enclosure design and drive ambient temperature
Drive derating is required for operation in high ambient temperatures
Totally enclosing or through panel mounting the drive in either a sealed cabinet (no airflow) or in a
well ventilated cabinet makes a significant difference on drive cooling.
The chosen method affects the ambient temperature value (Trate) which should be used for any
necessary derating to ensure sufficient cooling for the whole of the drive.
The ambient temperature for the four different combinations is defined below:
1. Totally enclosed with no air flow (<2 m/s) over the drive
Trate = Tint + 5 °C
2. Totally enclosed with air flow (>2 m/s) over the drive
Trate = Tint
3. Through panel mounted with no airflow (<2 m/s) over the drive
Trate = the greater of Text +5 °C, or Tint
4. Through panel mounted with air flow (>2 m/s) over the drive
Trate = the greater of Text or Tint
Where:
Text = Temperature outside the cabinet
Tint = Temperature inside the cabinet
Trate = Temperature used to select current rating from tables in Chapter 5 Technical data on
page 92.

3.7 Heatsink fan operation

The drive is ventilated by an internal heatsink mounted fan. The fan housing forms a baffle plate,
channelling the air through the heatsink chamber. Thus, regardless of mounting method (surface
mounting or through-panel mounting), the installing of additional baffle plates is not required.
Ensure the minimum clearances around the drive are maintained to allow air to flow freely.
The heatsink fan on all sizes is a variable speed fan. The drive controls the speed at which the fan
runs based on the temperature of the heatsink and the drive's thermal model system. The maximum
speed at which the fan operates can be limited in Pr 06.045. This could incur an output current
derating. Size 7 to 10 are also fitted with a variable speed fan to ventilate the capacitor bank. Refer to
section 3.11 Routine maintenance on page 49 for information on fan removal.

3.8 Enclosing standard drive for high environmental protection
An explanation of environmental protection rating is provided in section 5.1.9 IP / UL Rating on

Safety information
page 102.
The standard drive is rated to IP20 pollution degree 2 (dry, non-conductive contamination only)
(NEMA 1). However, it is possible to configure the drive to achieve IP65 rating (size 7 and 8) or IP55
(size 9 and 10) (NEMA 12) at the rear of the heatsink for through-panel mounting.
This allows the front of the drive, along with various switchgear, to be housed in a high IP enclosure
with the heatsink protruding through the panel to the external environment. Thus, the majority of the
heat generated by the drive is dissipated outside the enclosure maintaining a reduced temperature
inside the enclosure. This also relies on a good seal being made between the heatsink and the rear

Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be
lethal:
WARNING AC supply cables and connections
DC and brake cables, and connections
Output cables and connections
Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be touched.

Isolation device
The AC and / or DC power supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved
isolation device before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work
WARNING is performed.

STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or any
WARNING
external option units.

Safe Torque Off function

The Safe Torque Off function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the
WARNING
motor or any external option units.

Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
AC and / or DC power supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized,
WARNING the AC and / or DC power supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may
continue. Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain,
unusual fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be
prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive
has failed in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the
capacitors will not be discharged. In this case, consult Nidec Industrial Automation or
their authorized distributor.

Equipment supplied by plug and socket

Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected to
the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are connected
WARNING to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to give safety
isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected from the
socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the drive must be used (e.g. a
latching relay).

Permanent magnet motors

Permanent magnet motors generate electrical power if they are rotated, even when the
supply to the drive is disconnected. If that happens then the drive will become energized
WARNING
through its motor terminals. If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the
supply is disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from the drive before gaining
access to any live parts.

4.2.1 Supply types
All drives are suitable for use on any supply type i.e TN-S, TN-C-S, TT and IT.

Safety information
Supplies with voltage up to 600 V may have grounding at any potential, i.e. neutral, centre or corner
(“grounded delta”) Supplies with voltage above 600 V may not have corner grounding

If an SI-Applications Plus module is installed in the drive, then the drive must not be used
on a corner-grounded or centre-grounded delta supply if the supply voltage is above 300
V. If this is required, please contact the supplier of the drive for more information.
WARNING

Drives are suitable for use on supplies of installation category III and lower, according to IEC 60664-1.

Product information
This means they may be connected permanently to the supply at its origin in a building, but for outdoor
installation additional over-voltage suppression (transient voltage surge suppression) must be
provided to reduce category IV to category III.

Operation with IT (ungrounded) supplies:

Special attention is required when using internal or external EMC filters with ungrounded
supplies, because in the event of a ground (earth) fault in the motor circuit the drive may
WARNING not trip and the filter could be over-stressed. In this case, either the filter must not be used
(removed) or additional independent motor ground fault protection must be provided, refer

Mechanical installation
to Table 4-3 . For details of ground fault protection contact the supplier of the drive.

A ground fault in the supply has no effect in any case. If the motor must continue to run with a ground
fault in its own circuit then an input isolating transformer must be provided and if an EMC filter is
required it must be located in the primary circuit.
Unusual hazards can occur on ungrounded supplies with more than one source, for example on ships. Contact
the supplier of the drive for more information.

4.2.2 Supplies requiring line reactors
Input line reactors reduce the risk of damage to the drive resulting from poor phase balance or
severe disturbances on the supply network.
Where line reactors are to be used, reactance values of approximately 2 % are recommended.
Higher values may be used if necessary, but may result in a loss of drive output (reduced torque at
high speed) because of the voltage drop.
For all drive ratings, 2 % line reactors permit drives to be used with a supply unbalance of up to 3.5 %
negative phase sequence (equivalent to 5 % voltage imbalance between phases).
Severe disturbances may be caused by the following factors, for example:
• Power factor correction equipment connected close to the drive.
• Large DC drives having no or inadequate line reactors connected to the supply.
• Across the line (DOL) started motor(s) connected to the supply such that when any of these
motors are started, the voltage dip exceeds 20 %
Such disturbances may cause excessive peak currents to flow in the input power circuit of the drive.
This may cause nuisance tripping, or in extreme cases, failure of the drive.
Drives of low power rating may also be susceptible to disturbance when connected to supplies with a
high rated capacity.
Frame size 7 has an internal DC reactor and Frame size 8 and 9A have internal AC line reactors so
they do not require AC line reactors except for cases of excessive phase unbalance or extreme
supply conditions. Drive sizes 9E and 10E do not have internal input line reactors hence an external
input line reactor must be used.
When required each drive must have its own reactor(s). Three individual reactors or a single three-
phase reactor should be used.
Reactor current ratings
The current rating of the line reactors should be as follows:
Continuous current rating:
Not less than the continuous input current rating of the drive
Repetitive peak current rating:
Not less than twice the continuous input current rating of the drive

A separate line reactor (INLXXX) of at least the value shown in Table 4-4 and Table 4-5
must be used with size 9E and 10E. Failure to provide sufficient reactance could damage
or reduce the service life of the drive.

drives with DC / DC bus paralleling

Safety information
The drive may be supplied with DC instead of 3 phase AC.
The connecting of the DC bus between several drives is typically used to:
1. Return energy from a drive which is being overhauled by the load to a second motoring drive.
2. Allow the use of one braking resistor to dissipate regenerative energy from several drives.
There are limitations to the combinations of drives which can be used in this configuration.
For further information, contact the supplier of the drive.

Product information
NOTE Unidrive M/Unidrive HS size 9E and 10E drives do not have an accessible negative DC
terminal. It is recommended that 9D and 10D drives are used as an alternative when this
is needed, please refer to the Modular Installation Guide for further details.

4.4 24 Vdc supply

The 24 Vdc supply connected to control terminals 1 & 2* provides the following functions:
• It can be used to supplement the drive's own internal 24 V supply when multiple option modules

Mechanical installation
are being used and the current drawn by these module is greater than the drive can supply.
• It can be used as a back-up power supply to keep the control circuits of the drive powered up
when the line power supply is removed. This allows any fieldbus modules, application modules,
encoders or serial communications to continue to operate.
• It can be used to commission the drive when the line power supply is not available, as the display
operates correctly. However, the drive will be in the Under voltage state unless either line power
supply or low voltage DC operation is enabled, therefore diagnostics may not be possible.
(Power down save parameters are not saved when using the 24 V back-up power supply input).

Electrical installation
• If the DC bus voltage is too low to run the main SMPS in the drive, then the 24 V supply can be
used to supply all the low voltage power requirements of the drive. Low Under Voltage Threshold
Select (06.067)** must also be enabled for this to happen.
** Not available on Unidrive M200 to M400.

NOTE The power 24 Vdc supply (terminals 51, 52) must be connected to enable the 24 V dc
supply to be used as a backup supply, when the line power supply is removed. If the power
24 Vdc supply is not connected none of the above mentioned functions can be used,

4.5 Low voltage operation
With the addition of a 24 Vdc power supply to supply the control circuits, the drive is able to operate
from a low voltage DC supply with a range from 24 Vdc to the maximum DC volts. It is possible for
the drive to go from operating on a normal line power supply voltage to operating on a much lower
supply voltage without interruption (not available with Unidrive M200 to M400).
Going from low voltage operation to normal mains operation requires the inrush current to be

controlled. This may be provided externally. If not, the drive supply can be interrupted to utilise the
normal soft starting method in the drive.
To fully exploit the new low voltage mode of operation, the under voltage level is now user
programmable. For application data, contact the supplier of the drive.
The working voltage range of the low voltage DC power supply is as follows:

4.7 Ratings
See section 2.4 Ratings on page 17.
Maximum continuous input current
The values of maximum continuous input current are given to aid the selection of cables and fuses.
These values are stated for the worst case condition with the unusual combination of stiff supply with
high imbalance. The value stated for the maximum continuous input current would only be seen in
one of the input phases. The current in the other two phases would be significantly lower.
The values of maximum input current are stated for a supply with a 2 % negative phase-sequence
imbalance and rated at the maximum supply fault current given in section 2.4 Ratings on page 17.
The nominal cable sizes given in section 2.4 Ratings on page 17 are only a guide. Refer to local
wiring regulations for the correct size of cables. In some cases a larger cable is required to avoid
excessive voltage drop.

66 Unidrive M / HS Frame 7 to 10 Power Installation Guide

Issue Number: 11
 NOTE The nominal output cable sizes in section 2.4 Ratings on page 17 assume that the motor
maximum current matches that of the drive. Where a motor of reduced rating is used the

Safety information
cable rating may be chosen to match that of the motor. To ensure that the motor and cable
are protected against over-load, the drive must be programmed with the correct motor
rated current.

Fuses
The AC supply to the drive must be installed with suitable protection against overload and
short-circuits. Nominal fuse ratings are shown in section 2.4 Ratings on page 17. Failure
WARNING to observe this requirement will cause risk of fire.

Product information
A fuse or other protection must be included in all live connections to the AC supply.
Fuse types
The fuse voltage rating must be suitable for the drive supply voltage.

4.7.1 Main AC supply contactor

The recommended AC supply contactor type is AC1.

4.8 Output circuit and motor protection

Mechanical installation
The output circuit has fast-acting electronic short-circuit protection which limits the fault current to
typically no more than five times the rated output current, and interrupts the current in approximately
20 µs. No additional short-circuit protection devices are required.
The drive provides overload protection for the motor and its cable. For this to be effective, Pr 00.046
(Pr 00.006 on Unidrive M200 to M400) Motor rated current must be set to suit the motor.

Electrical installation
Pr 00.046 (Pr 00.006 on Unidrive M200 to M400) Motor rated current must be set correctly
to avoid a risk of fire in the event of motor overload.
WARNING

There is also provision for the use of a motor thermistor to prevent over-heating of the motor, e.g. due
to loss of cooling.
4.8.1 Motor cable types
Since capacitance in the motor cable causes loading on the output of the drive, ensure the cable
length does not exceed the values given in Table 5-23 Maximum motor cable lengths on page 111.
Use 105 °C (221 °F) (UL 60/75 °C temp rise) PVC-insulated cable with copper conductors having a

4.8.2 High-capacitance / reduced diameter cables
The maximum cable length is reduced from that shown in Table 5-23 Maximum motor cable
lengths on page 111 if high capacitance or reduced diameter motor cables are used.
Most cables have an insulating jacket between the cores and the armor or shield; these cables have
a low capacitance and are recommended. Cables that do not have an insulating jacket tend to have
high capacitance; if a cable of this type is used, the maximum cable length is half that quoted in the
tables, (Figure 4-8 shows how to identify the two types).
Figure 4-8 Cable construction influencing the capacitance

Normal capacitance High capacitance

Shield or armor Shield or armor close
separated from the cores to the cores

The maximum motor cable lengths specified in section 5.1.21 Maximum motor cable lengths on
page 111 is shielded and contains four cores. Typical capacitance for this type of cable is 130 pF/m
(i.e. from one core to all others and the shield connected together).

4.8.3 Motor winding voltage

The PWM output voltage can adversely affect the inter-turn insulation in the motor. This is because of
the high rate of change of voltage, in conjunction with the impedance of the motor cable and the
distributed nature of the motor winding.
For normal operation with AC supplies up to 500 Vac and a standard motor with a good quality
insulation system, there is no need for any special precautions. In case of doubt the motor supplier
should be consulted.
Special precautions are recommended under the following conditions, but only if the motor cable
length exceeds 10 m:
• AC supply voltage exceeds 500 V
• DC supply voltage exceeds 670 V i.e. regenerative / AFE supply
• Operation of 400 V drive with continuous or very frequent sustained braking
• Multiple motors connected to a single drive
For multiple motors, the precautions given in section 4.8.4 Multiple motors should be followed.
For the other cases listed, it is recommended that an inverter-rated motor be used. This has a
reinforced insulation system intended by the manufacturer for repetitive fast-rising pulsed voltage
operation.
Users of 575 V NEMA rated motors should note that the specification for inverter-rated motors given
in NEMA MG1 section 31 is sufficient for motoring operation but not where the motor spends
significant periods braking. In that case an insulation peak voltage rating of 2.2 kV is recommended.
If it is not practical to use an inverter-rated motor, an output choke (inductor) should be used. The
recommended type is a simple iron-cored component with a reactance of about 2 %. The exact value
is not critical. This operates in conjunction with the capacitance of the motor cable to increase the
rise-time of the motor terminal voltage and prevent excessive electrical stress.

4.8.4 Multiple motors
Open-loop only

Safety information
If the drive is to control more than one motor, one of the fixed V/F modes should be selected
(Pr 05.014 = Fixed or Squared). Make the motor connections as shown in Figure 4-9 and Figure 4-
10. The maximum motor cable lengths specified in section 5.1.21 Maximum motor cable lengths on
page 111 apply to the sum of the total cable lengths from the drive to each motor.
It is recommended that each motor is connected through a protection relay since the drive cannot
protect each motor individually. For connection, a sinusoidal filter or an output inductor must be
connected as shown in Figure 4-10, even when the cable lengths are less than the maximum
permissible. For high DC voltages or when supplied by a regen system, a sinusoidal filter is

recommended. For details of filter or inductor sizes refer to the supplier of the drive.

4.8.5 /  motor operation
The voltage rating for and  connections of the motor should always be checked before
attempting to run the motor.
The default setting of the motor rated voltage parameter is the same as the drive rated voltage, i.e.
400 V drive 400 V rated voltage
230 V drive 230 V rated voltage
A typical 3 phase motor would be connected in for 400 V operation or  for 230 V operation,
however, variations on this are common e.g. 690 V  400 V.
Incorrect connection of the windings will cause severe under or over fluxing of the motor, leading to a
very poor output torque or motor saturation and overheating respectively.
4.8.6 Output contactor
If the cable between the drive and the motor is to be interrupted by a contactor or circuit
breaker, ensure that the drive is disabled before the contactor or circuit breaker is opened
or closed. Severe arcing may occur if this circuit is interrupted with the motor running at
WARNING high current and low speed.

A contactor is sometimes required to be installed between the drive and motor for safety purposes.
The recommended motor contactor is the AC3 type.
Switching of an output contactor should only occur when the output of the drive is disabled.
Opening or closing of the contactor with the drive enabled will lead to:
1. OI ac trips (which cannot be reset for 10 seconds)
2. High levels of radio frequency noise emission
3. Increased contactor wear and tear
The Drive Enable terminal when opened provides a Safe Torque Off* function. This can in many
cases replace output contactors.
For further information see the Control User Guide.
*There is no Safe Torque Off function on the Unidrive M200/201

4.9 Braking
Braking occurs when the drive is decelerating the motor, or is preventing the motor from gaining
speed due to mechanical influences. During braking, energy is returned to the drive from the motor.
When the motor is being braked by the drive, the maximum regenerated power that the drive can
absorb is equal to the power dissipation (losses) of the drive.
When the regenerated power is likely to exceed these losses, the DC bus voltage of the drive
increases. Under default conditions, the drive brakes the motor under PI control, which extends the
deceleration time as necessary in order to prevent the DC bus voltage from rising above a user
defined set-point.
If the drive is expected to rapidly decelerate a load, or to hold back an overhauling load, a braking
resistor must be installed.
Table 4-7 shows the default DC voltage level at which the drive turns on the braking transistor.
However the braking resistor turn on and the turn off voltages are programmable with Braking IGBT
Lower Threshold (06.073) and Braking IGBT Upper Threshold (06.074).

Product information
4.9.1 External braking resistor

Overload protection
When an external braking resistor is used, it is essential that an overload protection device
is incorporated in the braking resistor circuit; this is described in Figure 4-11 on page 73.
WARNING

When a braking resistor is to be mounted outside the enclosure, ensure that it is mounted in a

Mechanical installation
ventilated metal housing that will perform the following functions:
• Prevent inadvertent contact with the resistor
• Allow adequate ventilation for the resistor
When compliance with EMC emission standards is required, external connection requires the cable
to be armored or shielded, since it is not fully contained in a metal enclosure. See section
4.11.6 Compliance with generic emission standards on page 85 for further details.
Internal connection does not require the cable to be armored or shielded.

*Resistor tolerance: ±10 %.
The minimum resistance specified are for stand-alone drive systems only. If the drive is to be used as
part of a common DC bus system different values may be required. Contact the supplier of the drive
for more information.
For high-inertia loads or under continuous braking, the continuous power dissipated in the braking
resistor may be as high as the power rating of the drive. The total energy dissipated in the braking
resistor is dependent on the amount of energy to be extracted from the load.
The instantaneous power rating refers to the short-term maximum power dissipated during the on
intervals of the pulse width modulated braking control cycle. The braking resistor must be able to
withstand this dissipation for short intervals (milliseconds). Higher resistance values require
proportionately lower instantaneous power ratings.
In most applications, braking occurs only occasionally. This allows the continuous power rating of the
braking resistor to be much lower than the power rating of the drive. It is therefore essential that the
instantaneous power rating and energy rating of the braking resistor are sufficient for the most
extreme braking duty that is likely to be encountered.
Optimization of the braking resistor requires careful consideration of the braking duty.
Select a value of resistance for the braking resistor that is not less than the specified minimum

resistance. Larger resistance values may give a cost saving, as well as a safety benefit in the event
of a fault in the braking system. Braking capability will then be reduced, which could cause the drive

to trip during braking if the value chosen is too large.
Thermal protection circuit for the braking resistor
The thermal protection circuit must disconnect the AC supply from the drive if the resistor becomes

4.9.2 Braking resistor software overload protection
The drive software contains an overload protection function for a braking resistor. In order to enable
and set-up this function, it is necessary to enter three values into the drive:

Electrical installation
• Braking Resistor Rated Power (10.030)
• Braking Resistor Thermal Time Constant (10.031)
• Braking Resistor Resistance (10.061)
This data should be obtained from the manufacturer of the braking resistors. The braking resistor
thermal time constant can be calculated from resistor data sheet values using the following equation:

Resistor pulse power rating x Braking time

Pr 10.031 = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resistor continuous power rating
Pr 10.039 gives an indication of braking resistor temperature based on a simple thermal model. Zero
indicates the resistor is close to ambient and 100 % is the maximum temperature the resistor can

withstand. A ‘Brake Resistor’ alarm is given if this parameter is above 75 % and the braking IGBT is
active. A Brake R Too Hot trip will occur if Pr 10.039 reaches 100 %, when Pr 10.037 is set to 0
(default value) or 1.
If Pr 10.037 is equal to 2 or 3, a Brake R Too Hot trip will not occur when Pr 10.039 reaches 100 %,
but instead the braking IGBT will be disabled until Pr 10.039 falls below 95 %. This option is intended
for applications with parallel connected DC buses where there are several braking resistors, each of
which cannot withstand full DC bus voltage continuously. With this type of application it is unlikely the
UL listing information

braking energy will be shared equally between the resistors because of voltage measurement
tolerances within the individual drives. Therefore with Pr 10.037 set to 2 or 3, then as soon as a
resistor has reached its maximum temperature the drive will disable the braking IGBT, and another
resistor on another drive will take up the braking energy. Once Pr 10.039 has fallen below 95 % the
drive will allow the braking IGBT to operate again.

4.10 Ground leakage

The ground leakage current depends upon whether the internal EMC filter is installed. The drive is
supplied with the filter installed.
With internal filter installed:
56 mA AC at 400 V 50 Hz (proportional to supply voltage and frequency)
18 µA DC with a 600 V DC bus (33 M)
With internal filter removed*:
<1mA
Note that in both cases there is an internal voltage surge protection device connected to ground.
Under normal circumstances this carries negligible current.
*Please note that the internal filter is not removable on size 9E and 10E.

When the internal filter is installed the leakage current is high. In this case a permanent
fixed ground connection must be provided, or other suitable measures taken to prevent a
safety hazard occurring if the connection is lost.
WARNING

4.10.1 Use of residual current device (RCD)

There are three common types of ELCB / RCD:
1. AC - detects AC fault currents
2. A - detects AC and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC current reaches zero at least
once every half cycle)
3. B - detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC fault currents
• Type AC should never be used with drives.
• Type A can only be used with single phase drives
• Type B must be used with three phase drives

Only type B ELCB / RCD are suitable for use with 3 phase inverter drives.
WARNING

If an external EMC filter is used with an ELCB / RCD, a delay of at least 50 ms should be
incorporated to ensure spurious trips are not seen. The leakage current is likely to exceed the trip
level if all of the phases are not energized simultaneously.

4.11 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
The requirements for EMC are divided into three levels in the following three sections:

Safety information
• section 4.11.4, General requirements for EMC this is for all applications, to ensure reliable
operation of the drive and minimise the risk of disturbing nearby equipment. The immunity
standards specified in section 5.1.24 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) on page 114 will be
met, but no specific emission standards are applied.
• section 4.11.5, Requirements for meeting the EMC standard for power drive systems, IEC
61800-3 (EN 61800-3:2004+A1:2012).
• section 4.11.6, Requirements for meeting the generic emission standards for the industrial
environment, IEC 61000-6-4, EN 61000-6-4:2007+A1:2011.

Product information
The recommendations of section 4.11.4 will usually be sufficient to avoid causing disturbance to
adjacent equipment of industrial quality. If particularly sensitive equipment is to be used nearby, or in
a non-industrial environment, then the recommendations of section 4.11.5 or section 4.11.6 should
be followed to give reduced radio-frequency emission.
In order to ensure the installation meets the various emission standards described in:
• The EMC data sheet available from the supplier of the drive
• The Declaration of Conformity at the front of this manual
• Chapter 5 Technical data on page 92

Mechanical installation
The correct external EMC filter must be used and all of the guidelines in section 4.11.4 General
requirements for EMC on page 80 and section 4.11.6 Compliance with generic emission
standards on page 85 must be followed.

High ground leakage current

When an EMC filter is used, a permanent fixed ground connection must be provided which
does not pass through a connector or flexible power cord. This includes the internal EMC

4.11.1 Grounding hardware

The drive is supplied with a grounding bracket to facilitate EMC compliance. They provide a
convenient method for direct grounding of cable shields without the use of "pig-tails”. Cable shields
can be bared and clamped to the grounding bracket using metal clips or clamps1 (not supplied) or
cable ties. Note that the shield must in all cases be continued through the clamp to the intended
terminal on the drive, in accordance with the connection details for the specific signal.
1A suitable clamp is the Phoenix DIN rail mounted SK14 cable clamp (for cables with a maximum
outer diameter of 14 mm).

Feedback device cable shielding
Shielding considerations are important for PWM drive installations due to the high voltages and
currents present in the output (motor) circuit with a very wide frequency spectrum, typically from 0 to
20 MHz.
The following guidance is divided into two parts:
1. Ensuring correct transfer of data without disturbance from electrical noise originating either within
the drive or from outside.
2. Additional measures to prevent unwanted emission of radio frequency noise. These are optional
and only required where the installation is subject to specific requirements for radio frequency
emission control.
To ensure correct transfer of data, observe the following:
Resolver connections:
• Use a cable with an overall shield and twisted pairs for the resolver signals
• Connect the cable shield to the drive 0V connection by the shortest possible link ("pigtail")
• It is generally preferable not to connect the cable shield to the resolver. However in cases where
there is an exceptional level of common-mode noise voltage present on the resolver body, it may
be helpful to connect the shield there. If this is done then it becomes essential to ensure the
absolute minimum length of "pigtails" at both shield connections, and possibly to clamp the cable
shield directly to the resolver body and to the drive grounding bracket.
• The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable, ensure the
absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the shield connections at each interruption.
Encoder connections:
• Use a cable with the correct impedance
• Use a cable with individually shielded twisted pairs
• Connect the cable shields to 0V at both the drive and the encoder, using the shortest possible
links ("pigtails")
• The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable, ensure the
absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the shield connections at each interruption. Preferably,
use a connection method which provides substantial metallic clamps for the cable shield
terminations.
The above applies where the encoder body is isolated from the motor and where the encoder circuit
is isolated from the encoder body. Where there is no isolation between the encoder circuits and the
motor body, and in case of doubt, the following additional requirement must be observed. This gives
the best possible noise immunity.
• The shields must be directly clamped to the encoder body (no pigtail) and to the drive grounding
bracket. This may be achieved by clamping of the individual shields or by providing an additional
overall shield which is clamped.

NOTE The recommendations of the encoder manufacturer must also be adhered to for the
encoder connections.

NOTE In order to guarantee maximum noise immunity for any application double shielded cable
as shown should be used.

In some cases single shielding of each pair of differential signals cables, or a single overall shield
with individual shield on the thermistor connections is sufficient. In these cases all the shields should
be connected to ground and 0V at both ends.
If the 0V is required to be left floating a cable with individual shields and an overall shield must be
used.

Meeting the requirements of this standard depends on the environment that the drive is intended to
operate in, as follows:
Operation in the first environment
Observe the guidelines given in section 4.11.6 Compliance with generic emission standards on
page 85. An external EMC filter will always be required.

This is a product of the restricted distribution class according to EN 61800-

3:2004+A1:2012
In a residential environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the
CAUTION
user may be required to take adequate measures.

Operation in the second environment

In all cases a shielded motor cable must be used, and an EMC filter is required for all Unidrive M /
Unidrive HS drives with a rated input current of less than 100 A.
The drive contains an internal filter for basic emission control. In some cases feeding the motor
cables (U, V and W) once through a ferrite ring can maintain compliance for longer cable lengths.
The requirements of operating in the second environment are met, depending on the motor cable
length for 3 kHz switching frequency as stated in Table 4-10.
Table 4-10 summarizes the performance of the internal filter when used with Unidrive M / Unidrive

The second environment typically includes an industrial low-voltage power supply network
which does not supply buildings used for residential purposes. Operating the drive in this
environment without an external EMC filter may cause interference to nearby electronic

4.11.8 Variations in the EMC wiring
Interruptions to the motor cable
The motor cable should ideally be a single length of shielded or armored cable having no
interruptions. In some situations it may be necessary to interrupt the cable, as in the following
examples:
• Connecting the motor cable to a terminal block in the drive enclosure
• Installing a motor isolator/disconnect switch for safety when work is done on the motor

Electrical installation
In these cases the following guidelines should be followed.

Terminal block in the enclosure

The motor cable shields should be bonded to the back-plate using uninsulated metal cable-clamps
which should be positioned as close as possible to the terminal block. Keep the length of power
conductors to a minimum and ensure that all sensitive equipment and circuits are at least 0.3m (12
in) away from the terminal block.

Using a motor isolator/disconnect-switch
The motor cable shields should be connected by a very short conductor having a low inductance.
The use of a flat metal coupling-bar is recommended; conventional wire is not suitable.
The shields should be bonded directly to the coupling-bar using uninsulated metal cable-clamps.
Keep the length of the exposed power conductors to a minimum and ensure that all sensitive
equipment and circuits are at least 0.3 m (12 in) away.
The coupling-bar may be grounded to a known low-impedance ground nearby, for example a large
metallic structure which is connected closely to the drive ground.

Surge immunity of control circuits - long cables and connections outside a building
The input/output ports for the control circuits are designed for general use within machines and small
systems without any special precautions.
These circuits meet the requirements of EN 61000-6-2:2005 (1 kV surge) provided the 0V connection
is not grounded.
In applications where they may be exposed to high-energy voltage surges, some special measures
may be required to prevent malfunction or damage. Surges may be caused by lightning or severe
power faults in association with grounding arrangements which permit high transient voltages
between nominally grounded points. This is a particular risk where the circuits extend outside the
protection of a building.
As a general rule, if the circuits are to pass outside the building where the drive is located, or if cable
runs within a building exceed 30 m, some additional precautions are advisable. One of the following
techniques should be used:
1. Galvanic isolation, i.e. do not connect the control 0V terminal to ground. Avoid loops in the
control wiring, i.e. ensure every control wire is accompanied by its return (0V) wire.
2. Shielded cable with additional power ground bonding. The cable shield may be connected to
ground at both ends, but in addition the ground conductors at both ends of the cable must be
bonded together by a power ground cable (equipotential bonding cable) with cross-sectional
area of at least 10 mm2, or 10 times the area of the signal cable shield, or to suit the electrical
safety requirements of the plant. This ensures that fault or surge current passes mainly through
the ground cable and not in the signal cable shield. If the building or plant has a well-designed
common bonded network this precaution is not necessary.
3. Additional over-voltage suppression - for the analog and digital inputs and outputs, a zener diode
network or a commercially available surge suppressor may be connected in parallel with the
input circuit as shown in Figure 4-27 and Figure 4-28.
If a digital port experiences a severe surge its protective trip may operate (I/O Overload trip code 26).
For continued operation after such an event, the trip can be reset automatically by setting Pr 10.034
to 5.

200 V drive: 200 V to 240 V ±10 %
400 V drive: 380 V to 480 V ±10 %
575 V drive: 500 V to 575 V ±10 %
690 V drive: 500 V to 690 V ±10 %
Number of phases: 3
Maximum supply imbalance: 2 % negative phase sequence (equivalent to 3 % voltage imbalance
between phases).
Frequency range: 45 to 66 Hz
For UL compliance only, the maximum supply symmetrical fault current must be limited to 100 kA
5.1.6 Motor requirements
No. of phases: 3
Maximum voltage:
200 V drive: 265 V
400 V drive: 530 V
575 V drive: 635 V
690 V drive: 765 V
5.1.7 Storage
-40 °C (-40 °F) to +55 °C (131 °F) for long term storage, or to +70 °C (158 °F) for short term storage.
Storage time is 2 years.
Electrolytic capacitors in any electronic product have a storage period after which they require
reforming or replacing.
The DC bus capacitors have a storage period of 10 years.
The low voltage capacitors on the control supplies typically have a storage period of 2 years and are
thus the limiting factor.
Low voltage capacitors cannot be reformed due to their location in the circuit and thus may require
replacing if the drive is stored for a period of 2 years or greater without power being applied.
It is therefore recommended that drives are powered up for a minimum of 1 hour after every 2 years
of storage. This process allows the drive to be stored for a further 2 years.
5.1.8 Altitude
Altitude range: 0 to 3,000 m (9,900 ft), subject to the following conditions:
1,000 m to 3,000 m (3,300 ft to 9,900 ft) above sea level: de-rate the maximum output current from
the specified figure by 1% per 100 m (330 ft) above 1,000 m (3,300 ft)
For example at 3,000 m (9,900 ft) the output current of the drive would have to be de-rated by 20 %.
5.1.9 IP / UL Rating
The drive is rated to IP20 pollution degree 2 (dry, non-conductive contamination only) (NEMA 1).
However, it is possible to configure the drive to achieve IP65 rating (sizes 7 and 8) or IP55 rating
(size 9 and 10) (NEMA 12) at the rear of the heatsink for through-panel mounting .
The IP rating of a product is a measure of protection against ingress and contact to foreign bodies
and water. It is stated as IP XX, where the two digits (XX) indicate the degree of protection provided
as shown in Table 5-10.

5.1.15 Output frequency / speed range

Unidrive Mxxx models:
In all operating modes (Open loop, RFC-A, RFC-S) the maximum output frequency is limited to 550
Hz.
Unidrive HSxx models:
In open loop mode the maximum achievable output frequency is 3,000 Hz.
In RFC-A and RFC-S modes, the maximum achievable output frequency is 1,250Hz.

In RFC-S mode the speed is also limited by the voltage constant (Ke) of the motor unless field
weakening operation is enabled. Ke is a specific constant for the servo motor being used. It can

Safety information
normally be found on the motor data sheet in V/k rpm (volts per 1,000 rpm).
It is recommended that a minimum ratio of 12:1 is maintained between the switching frequency and
the maximum output frequency to maintain the quality of the output waveform. If this minimum ratio is
exceeded, extra motor losses will result due to the increased harmonic content of the output
waveform.
5.1.16 Accuracy and resolution
Unidrive M600 to M702:
Speed:

Product information
The absolute frequency and speed accuracy depends on the accuracy of the crystal used with the
drive microprocessor. The accuracy of the crystal is 100 ppm, and so the absolute frequency/speed
accuracy is 100 ppm (0.01 %) of the reference, when a preset speed is used. If an analog input is
used the absolute accuracy is further limited by the absolute accuracy of the analog input.
The following data applies to the drive only; it does not include the performance of the source of the
