GE Industrial Solutions AF-650 GP General Purpose Drive (230V to 50HP, 460_575V to 100HP) - Manual (Page 7)

Installation in high altitudes
380 - 500 V: At altitudes above 3 km, please contact GE regarding PELV.
525 - 690 V: At altitudes above 2 km, please contact GE regarding PELV.
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous whenever connected to mains. Incorrect installation of the motor, frequency converter
or network may cause damage to the equipment, serious personal injury or death. Consequently, the instructions in this manual, as well as
national and local rules and safety regulations, must be complied with.
Safety Regulations
1. The mains supply to the frequency converter must be disconnected whenever repair work is to be carried out. Check that the mains supply has been
disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before removing motor and mains supply plugs.
2. The [OFF] button on the control panel of the frequency converter does not disconnect the mains supply and consequently it must not be used as a safety
switch.
3. The equipment must be properly earthed, the user must be protected against supply voltage and the motor must be protected against overload in
accordance with applicable national and local regulations.
4. The earth leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
5. Protection against motor overload is not included in the factory setting. If this function is desired, set par. F-10 Electronic Overload to data value Elec.
OL trip 1 [4] or data value Elec. OL warning 1 [3].
6. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and mains supply while the frequency converter is connected to mains. Check that the mains supply has been
disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before removing motor and mains plugs.
7. Please note that the frequency converter has more voltage sources than L1, L2 and L3, when load sharing (linking of DC intermediate circuit) or external
24 V DC are installed. Check that all voltage sources have been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before commencing repair work.
2.1.2 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 load-sharing (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as the
motor connection for kinetic back-up.
Using AF-650 GP: wait at least 15 minutes.
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. To ensure that the earth cable has a good mechanical connection
to the earth connection (terminal 95), the cable cross section must be at least 10 mm 2 or 2 times rated earth wires terminated separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause a D.C. 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 AF-650 GP and the use of RCD's must always follow national and local regulations.
NB!
For vertical lifting or hoisting applications it is strongly recommended to ensure that the load can be stopped in case of an emergency or a malfunction of a
single part such as a contactor, etc.
If the frequency converter is in alarm mode or in an over voltage situation, the mechanical brake cuts in.
