present.
Before servicing the drive:
Disconnect all power including external control power that
may be present before servicing the drive.
Place a DO NOT TURN ON label on the drive disconnect.
Lock disconnect in the open position.
WAIT 15 MINUTES for the DC bus capacitors to discharge.
Then follow the DC bus voltage measurement procedure on
page 24 to verify that the DC voltage is less than 42 V. The
drive LEDs are not indicators of the absence of DC bus
voltage.
Install and close all covers before applying power or starting and
stopping the drive.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or
serious injury.

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL FROM A COMMUNICATION
INTERRUPTION
The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential
failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical control
functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and
after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are
emergency stop and overtravel stop.
Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical
control functions.
System control paths may include communication links.
Consideration must be given to the implications of unanticipated
transmission delays or failures of the link.1
Each implementation of an Altivar 61 drive must be individually
and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed
into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage.
1
For additional information refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), Safety Guidelines for
the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control and to NEMA ICS
7.1 (latest edition), Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for Selection,
Installation and Operation of Adjustable-Speed Drive Systems.
CAUTION
IMPROPER DRIVE OPERATION
If, for a prolonged period of time, voltage is not applied to the
drive, the performance of its electrolytic capacitors will be
reduced.
If it is stopped for a prolonged period, turn the drive on every two
years for at least 5 hours to restore the performance of the
capacitors, then check its operation. It is recommended that the
drive not be connected directly to the line voltage. The voltage
should be increased gradually using an adjustable AC source.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.

Short-Circuit Marking System Applied to Schneider Electric AC Drives
30072-451-60C
09/2008
Short-Circuit Marking System Applied to

Schneider Electric AC Drives
Altivar drives have a prospective short-circuit rating that is based on
three performance attributes that affect all drives. The performance
attributes are characterized by three rating parameters described
below and listed in Tables 14 on pages 1416. The overall
maximum rating of the drive is the lowest of the three ratings. Higher
ratings can be attained for Altivar drives. Contact Schneider Electric
for tested combinations of overcurrent protective devices (OCPD),
line reactors, and enclosures or refer to the Altivar 61and 71
Supplementary Short Circuit Protection Information bulletin shipped
with the drive.
Output Interrupting Rating

The maximum prospective input short-circuit current at which the
drive is capable of interrupting a short-circuit at its motor output
terminals. The output interrupting rating conforms to the existing
short-circuit requirements of UL508C 3rd edition with revisions
effective February 15, 2008.
Input Withstand Current Rating (without line reactor or choke)

The maximum prospective input short-circuit current at the drive input
terminals with which the drive was designed to operate. The input
withstand current rating is an important parameter in determining the
maximum thermal and electrical operating limits for the drive.
Exceeding the maximum prospective input short-circuit current rating
may cause overheating with reduction of drive life expectancy or
damage to the drive.
CAUTION
DRIVE OVERHEATING
Ensure the prospective input short-circuit current does not exceed
the input withstand current rating.
damage.

Drive Containment Rating with OCPD

The maximum prospective input short-circuit current at the drive input
terminals with the marked OCPD present at which an internal
component breakdown in the drive will not create a shock, flame, fire
or expulsion hazard outside the marked enclosure structure. This
rating applies to drives with a listed enclosure rating or to drives that
have a listed enclosure rating with the addition of conduit box.
DANGER
FLASH
Only use the overcurrent protective device marked on the drive
or in the manual.
Do not operate the drive on an input mains line with a prospective
input short circuit current greater than the Drive Containment
Rating.
Ensure that the drive has a listed enclosure rating or uses the
conduit kit to achieve an enclosure rating.
serious injury.
Use of the drive with different prospective short-circuit currents may
be possible. Contact Schneider Electric for tested combinations of
OCPD, line reactors, drives and enclosures or refer to the Altivar 61
and 71 Supplementary Short Circuit Protection Information bulletin
shipped with the drive.

The DC bus voltage can exceed 1,000 V c. Use a properly rated
voltage-sensing device when performing this procedure. To measure
the DC bus voltage:
1. Disconnect the drive power supply.
2. Wait 15 minutes to allow the DC bus to discharge.
3. Measure the voltage of the DC bus between the PO and PC/
terminals to ensure that the voltage is less than 42 V c.
4. If the DC bus capacitors do not discharge completely, contact
your local Schneider Electric representative. Do not repair or
operate the drive.

WARNING
IMPROPER WIRING PRACTICES
The ATV61 controller will be damaged if input line voltage is
applied to the output terminals (U/T1,V/T2,W/T3).
Check the power connections before energizing the ATV61 drive.
If replacing another drive, verify that all wiring connections to the
ATV61 controller comply with all wiring instructions in this
manual.
Where local and national codes require upstream protection by
means of a residual current device, use a Type A device for singlephase drives and a Type B device for three-phase drives as defined
in the IEC 60755. Choose a suitable model integrating:
Harmonic Frequency (HF) current filtering

A time delay that helps prevent tripping caused by the load from
stray capacitance on power-up. The time delay is not possible for
30 mA devices; in this case, choose devices with immunity
against nuisance tripping.
If the installation includes several drives, provide one residual current

device per drive.

WARNING
INADEQUATE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
Overcurrent protective devices must be properly coordinated.
The Canadian Electrical Code and the National Electrical Code
require branch circuit protection. Use the over current protective
device recommended on the drive nameplate or in document
30072-451-38_ to achieve published short-circuit current ratings.
Do not connect the drive to a power feeder whose short-circuit
capacity exceeds the controller short-circuit current rating listed
on the controller nameplate or in document 30072-451-38_.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
serious injury, or equipment damage.

Electromagnetic Compatibility, Wiring
30072-451-60C

Principle and precautions
Important: The high frequency equipotential ground connection
between the drive, motor, and cable shielding does not eliminate the
need to connect the ground (PE) conductors (green-yellow) to the
appropriate terminals on each unit. To help accomplish this, the user
must follow the following points.
36
Grounds between the drive, motor, and cable shielding must have
high-frequency equipotentiality.
When using shielded cable for the motor, use a 4-conductor cable
so that one wire will be the ground connection between the motor
and the drive. Size of the ground conductor must be selected in
compliance with local and national codes. The shield can then be
grounded at both ends. Metal ducting or conduit can be used for
part or all of the shielding length, provided there is no break in
continuity.
When using shielded cable for the Dynamic Brake (DB) resistors,
use a 3-conductor cable so that one wire will be the ground
connection between the DB resistor assembly and the drive. Size
of the ground conductor must be selected in compliance with local
and national codes. The shield can then be grounded at both
ends. Metal ducting or conduit can be used for part or all of the
shielding length, provided there is no break in continuity.
When using shielded cable for control signals, if the cable is

connecting equipment that is close together and the grounds are
bonded together, then both ends of the shield can be grounded. If
the cable is connected to equipment that may have a different
ground potential, then ground the shield at one end only to
prevent large currents from flowing in the shield. The shield on the
ungrounded end may be tied to ground with a capacitor (for
example: 10 nF, 100V or higher) in order to provide a path for the
higher frequency noise.
Keep the control circuits away from the power circuits. For control
and speed reference circuits, use of shielded twisted cables with a
pitch of between 25 and 50 mm (0.98 and 1.97 in.) is
recommended.
Ensure maximum separation between the power supply cable

(line supply) and the motor cable and also ensure maximum
separation between the control cables and any power cables.

The motor cables must be at least 0.5 m (20 in.) long.
If using an additional input filter, refer to the Installation Guide for

more information.
For installation of the EMC plate provided with the drive and
instructions for meeting EN55011 Class A directive, refer to the
Installation Guide.
Do not use surge arresters or power factor correction capacitors

on the variable speed drive output.

nSt may display as the drive state and the controller will not start.
This could indicate that a run command was present before the input
line power was applied and a transition or change of state must be
made to this command before the drive will start.
If it is desired that the drive starts when the input line power is applied
without a transition of the run command, make the following change
to the program configuration. Go to the menu
[1.5 Inputs/Outputs CFG] and change parameter [2-wire type] from
[Transition] to [Level]. When the change is made, the drive can begin
running immediately on application of the input line power if a run

Important:
It is essential that all motor parameters[Rated motor volt.] (UnS), [Rated motor
freq.] (FrS), [Rated mot. current.] (nCr), [Rated motor speed] (nSP), [Rated motor
power] (nPr)are configured correctly before starting auto-tuning.
If one or more of these parameters is modified after auto-tuning has been
performed, [Auto tuning] (tUn) will return to [No] (nO) and the procedure must be
repeated.
Auto-tuning is performed only if no stop command has been activated. If a freewheel
stop or fast stop function has been assigned to a logic input, this input must be set
to 1 (active at 0).
Auto-tuning takes priority over any run or prefluxing commands, which will take
effect after the auto-tuning sequence.
If auto-tuning is unsuccessful, the drive displays [No] (nO) and, depending on the
configuration of [Autotune fault mgt] (tnL) (consult the CD-ROM supplied with the
drive), may switch to [Auto-tuning] (tnF) detected fault.
Auto-tuning may last for 1 to 2 seconds. Do not interrupt; wait for the display to
change to [Done] (dOnE) or [No] (nO).
