Protection of the controllers

Stop!

The controllers contain electrostatically sensitive components:

-

Prior to assembly and service operations, the personnel must be free of
electrostatic charge.

-

Discharging is possible by touching the PE fixing screw or another
grounded metal part in the control cabinet.

-

The controller is protected by external fuses.

-

Unused control inputs and outputs should be covered with plugs.

-

Frequent mains switching can overload the internal switch-on current
limitation. For cyclic mains switching, the controller can be switched on
every three minutes as a maximum.

-

The controllers 8204, 8214, 8218, 8222 - 8227, 8224, 8246 must only be
operated together with appropriate mains filter/mains choke.

-

In case of condensation, connect the controller to the mains voltage only
after the visible humidity has evaporated.

4.2.3

Motor protection

-

Total motor protection according to VDE:

- By overcurrent relays or temperature monitoring

- Required for group drives

(motors connected in parallel to a controller)

- We recommend the use of PTC thermistors or thermostats with PTC

characteristic for monitoring the motor temperature.
(As standard, Lenze three-phase AC motors are equipped with PTCs.)

- The PTC or thermostat can be directly connected to the units 822X/824X.

With the units 820X/821X, they are connected by means of the PTC
module 8274 or the I/O module 8275 (see Accessories).

-

When using motors with insulation which is not suitable for inverter
operation:

- Please contact your motor supplier.

Lenze-three-phase AC motors are designed for inverter operation.

- In general, operation with the assigned motor filters is possible.

-

With the corresponding parameter setting, the controllers reach field
frequencies up to 240 Hz/480 Hz:

- When operating inappropriate motors, dangerous overspeeds may occur

and result in the destruction of the drive.
