1.3 Precautions
Safety instructions
1.3.1 Motor insulation inspection
When the motor is used for the first time, or reused after storing for a long time, or
in a regular inspection, the user must inspect the insulation of the motor to prevent
the poor insulation of the windings of motor from damaging the inverter. The motor
connection must be divided from the inverter during the insulation inspection. It is
recommended to use a 500 V Mega-Ohm-Meter and the insulation resistance shall
not be less than 5 MΩ.
If the rated capacity of the motor selected is not matching that of the AS500 series
inverter, especially when the rated power of the inverter is greater than that of the
motor, make sure to adjust the parameters for motor protection inside the AS500
inverter or to install a thermal relay to the motor to guarantee the protection to the
motor.
Since the output voltage of the inverter is PWM wave with some harmonic, the
temperature rise, noise and vibration may increase compared with the inverter
running at power frequency.
1-7
Shanghai Sigriner STEP Electric Co., Ltd.
Because the AS500 inverter outputs PWM wave, the capacitor used for improving
power factor and piezoresistance used for lightening-proof should not be installed
at the output side of the inverter. Otherwise the inverter may have transient
over-current and may be damaged.
No permission for capacitor connection at the output side of the inverter refers to
Safety instructions
Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Schematic diagram for non-permission for capacitor connection at the output side of the
inverter
If a contactor is required to be installed between the inverter input terminal and the
power supply, it is prohibited to start or stop the inverter with the contactor.
If switches like contactors are connected between the output terminal and the motor,
make sure to start and stop the inverter when the inverter has no output, it is
prohibited to pick up the contactor when the inverter is outputting, otherwise the
modules in the inverter may be damaged.
Terminals are recommended for the startup / shutdown of the inverter. The user is
absolutely not permitted to directly shut down or start up the inverter via such
switches as contactor on the input terminal of the inverter; otherwise, damages to
equipment may be caused.

Chapter 1
For derating, please contact our company for detailed technical support.
The inverter has already been configured with default parameters which are
applicable to asynchronous squirrel-cage motor. To perform the motor parameter
identification according to the actual conditions will promote the operation effect.
The short circuit of cable or motor interior may cause the inverter alarm or to be
damaged. Therefore, perform insulation short test for the initially installed motor
and cables, and also make such test during the routine maintenance. Please make
sure that the inverter be cut from the testing parts when the test is undergoing.

Among the four grounding methods shown above, (a) is the most preferable and is
recommended.
⑴ Cables with standard cross section area shall be used for grounding, to keep the
grounding impedance as low as possible. Since the high-frequency impedance of
flat cable is lower than that of round cable, flat cable shall be selected given the
same cross-section area.
⑵ The grounding cable shall be as short as possible, with the grounding point as
close to the Inverter as possible.
⑶ When 4-core cables are used for the motor, one shall be grounded on the
inverter side and the other on the motor side. When both the Inverter and the motor
are equipped with specific grounding poles, optimal grounding may be expected.
⑷ Noises from the leakage current of grounding may impact the inverter and
peripherals in the control system when different parts of the system are grounded
together. Therefore, the inverter shall be separately grounded from weak
equipment such as computer, sensor or audio in the same control system.

Leakage current to earth may not only enter the inverter, but also other equipment
through the grounding conductor, causing wrong actions of leakage circuit-breaker,
relay or other equipment. The leakage current goes higher with higher carrier
frequency and longer motor cable.
Countermeasures: lower the carrier frequency; shorten the motor cable as much as
possible; use a leakage circuit-breaker specifically designed for high
harmonic/surge applications.
External thermal relays may take wrong actions due to the high harmonic of the
leakage current cross the distributed capacitors on the output side of the inverter.
Especially for inverters with capacity lower than 7.5 kW, higher leakage current with
a long conductor (above 50 m) may trigger wrong actions of external thermal
relays.

The control cabinet containing the inverter is generally made of metal, thus
reducing the radiation from the inverter to the instruments and equipment outside
the cabinet. The connecting cable is the major radiation source. Since the cables
Appendix A
for inverter power supply, motor, control circuit and keyboard shall be led out of the
shielded cabinet, special measures shall be taken at the cable entry, or the
shielding may be invalidated.
In Figure A.9, the cables in the shielded cabinet function as antenna receiving the
radiation inside the cabinet and sending it to the outer space. In Figure A.10, the
shield of the cable is connected to the cover at the exit and grounded, thus sending

the radiation in the cabinet directly to the ground and avoiding its going out.
In the shielded grounding shown in Figure A.10, the cable shield shall be grounded
as close to the exit as possible, or the length between the exit and the grounding

and the exit may not exceed 15cm and shall be as short as possible.

Filters for power lines may be used for equipment generating strong interferences

or sensitive to interferences.
A.7.1 Functions
⑴ The filter for power lines is a double-direction lowpass, which only allows direct
current and 50Hz industry frequency current to go through, and blocks
electromagnetic interferences with high frequencies. Therefore, it may prevent the
electromagnetic interferences generated by itself from going into the power line, but
also vice versa.
⑵ With the filter, the equipment easily meets the EMC requirements on
transmission and transmission sensitiveness, and at the same time the radiation of
the equipment is restrained.
⑴ In the cabinet, the filter shall be installed as close to the entry of the power line
as possible, and the power input line of the filter shall be as short as possible in the
cabinet.
⑵ If the input line and the output line of the filter are laid too close to each other,
high-frequency interferences will bypass the filter, the input and the output lines will
directly couple, and the filter will work no longer.
the grounding terminal is connected to the housing through a conductor, the filter
will not work effectively because of the high impedance of the conductor which
reduces the bypassing effect. The correct installation is to put the filter cover on the
conductive metal housing surface, with the contacting area as large as possible.
The insulation paint shall be removed before the installation to ensure good
Appendix A
electrical contacting.
In the drive system consisting of an inverter and a motor, the inverter and
peripherals such as control devices and sensors are normally installed in the same
cabinet. The interference from the cabinet to the outside may be restrained through
Electromagnetic compatibility
measures at the main connecting point, and a radio filter and an AC reactor shall be
installed at the cable entry of the cabinet. EMC standards shall also be met within
the cabinet.
In the drive system consisting of an inverter and a motor, the inverter, the braking
unit and the contactor are all strong noise sources impacting normal function of
sensitive peripherals such as automatic devices, encoders and sensors.
Peripherals may be installed in different EMC areas according to their electrical
characteristics, thus separating noise sources and receivers, which is the most
effective way of reducing noises.
The division of EMC areas for inverter installation is shown in Figure A.11.

To meet EMC requirements, the following shall be noted during the installation:
⑴ The inverter shall be installed in a cabinet, with its bottom and the housing of
input filters fixed on the back panel of the cabinet, to ensure good electrical
contacting. The distance between the inverter and the filter shall be as short as
possible, no more than 15 cm, thus minimizing the high frequency impedance
between the two and reducing high-frequency noises.
⑵ Install a wide PE terminal at the inlet of the cabinet (with the distance from the
exit no longer than 5 cm). The shield of all the incoming and outgoing cables of the
cabinet shall be connected to the terminal with a 360° ring to ensure good electrical

⑶ Shielded cables shall be used for the motor, preferably with a double shield of
screw metal belt and metal net. The motor cable shield on the inverter side shall be
Appendix A
connected to the back panel with the cable clamps in a 360° ring (as shown in
Figure A.4). There shall be two fixing positions: one near the inverter (preferably
less than 15 cm), and the other on the grounding terminal. The motor cable shield
shall be connected to the grounded metal housing of the motor in a 360° ring when
the motor end goes cross the terminal box. If it is too difficult, the shields may be
