1.1.4 General Warning

Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected (such as external DC bus power supplies).
Be aware that there may be high voltage on the DC link even when the LEDs are turned off.
Before touching any potentially live parts of the frequency converter, wait at least 4 minutes for all sizes.
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.

Leakage Current
The earth leakage current from the frequency converter exceeds 3.5 mA. According to IEC 61800-5-1 a reinforced Protective Earth connection
must be ensured by means of a min. 10mm² Cu or an addtional PE wire - with the same cable cross section as the Mains wiring - must be
terminated separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause a DC current in the protective conductor. Where a residual current device (RCD) is used for extra protection, only an
RCD of Type B (time delayed) shall be used on the supply side of this product.
Protective earthing of the frequency converter and the use of RCDs must always follow national and local regulations.

Motor overload protection is possible by setting Parameter 1-90 Motor thermal protection to the value Electronic overload trip. For the North
American market: Electronic overload functions provide class 20 motor overload protection, in accordance with NEC.

Installation in high altitudes:
For altitudes above 2 km, please contact GE .

1.1.5 IT Mains

IT Mains
Installation on isolated mains source, i.e. IT mains.
Max. supply voltage allowed when connected to mains: 440 V.

As an option, GE offers line filters for improved harmonics performance.

1.1.6 Avoid unintended Start

While the frequency converter is connected to mains, the motor can be started/stopped using digital commands, bus commands, references or via the drive
Keypad.

Disconnect the frequency converter from mains whenever personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid unintended start of any motors.

To avoid unintended start, always activate the [OFF] key before changing parameters.
