when the motor does not operate. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
- Do not touch the motor terminals U, V, W, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals when the drive is connected to
mains. Before connecting the drive to mains, make sure that the covers of the drive are closed.
Danfoss A/S © 2018.06 DPD00910G | 11

DANGER
SHOCK HAZARD FROM DC LINK OR EXTERNAL SOURCE
The terminal connections and the components of the drive can be live 5 minutes after the drive is disconnected from the mains
and the motor has stopped. Also the load side of the drive can generate voltage. A contact with this voltage can lead to death
or serious injury.
- Before doing electrical work on the drive:
• Disconnect the drive from the mains and make sure that the motor has stopped.
• Lock out and tag out the power source to the drive.
• Make sure that no external source generates unintended voltage during work.
• Wait 5 minutes before opening the cabinet door or the cover of the AC drive.
• Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD FROM CONTROL TERMINALS
The control terminals can have a dangerous voltage also when the drive is disconnected from mains. A contact with this
voltage can lead to injury.
- Make sure that there is no voltage in the control terminals before touching the control terminals.
WARNING
ACCIDENTAL MOTOR START
When there is a power-up, a power break, or a fault reset, the motor starts immediately if the start signal is active, unless the
pulse control for Start/Stop logic is selected. If the parameters, the applications or the software change, the I/O functions
(including the start inputs) can change. If you activate the auto reset function, the motor starts automatically after an automatic
fault reset. See the Application Guide. Failure to ensure that the motor, system, and any attached equipment are ready for start
can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
- Disconnect the motor from the drive if an accidental start can be dangerous. Make sure that the equipment is safe to
operate under any condition.
WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the drive properly can result in death or serious injury.
- Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment by a certified electrical installer.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD FROM PE CONDUCTOR
The drive can cause a DC current in the PE conductor. Failure to use a residual current-operated protective (RCD) device Type B
or a residual current-operated monitoring (RCM) device can lead to the RCD not providing the intended protection and
therefore can result in death or serious injury.
- Use a type B RCD or RCM device on the mains side of the drive.

3.7 Available EMC Classes
The product standard (EMC immunity requirements) IEC/EN 61800-3 + A1 has 5 categories. The VACON® AC drives are divided into 5
EMC classes that have equivalents in the standard. All VACON® NX AC drives comply with the standard IEC/EN 61800-3 + A1.
The type code tells which category requirement the AC drive complies with (see 3.4 Description of the Type Code).
The category changes when these properties in the AC drive change:
• the level of electromagnetic disturbances

• the requirements of a power system network
• the installation environment (see the standard IEC/EN 61800-3 + A1)

Operating guide | VACON® NXS/NXP Air-cooled Mounting the Unit
5 Mounting the Unit
5.1 Environmental Requirements
5.1.1 General Environmental Requirements
In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or corrosive gases, ensure that the protection rating of the equipment matches the
installation environment. Failure to meet requirements for ambient conditions can reduce the lifetime of the AC drive. Ensure that
requirements for humidity, temperature, and altitude are met.
Vibration and shock
The AC drive complies with requirements for units mounted on the walls and floors of production premises, and in panels bolted to
walls or floors. For detailed ambient conditions specifications, see 12.8 VACON NXP Technical Data.
Installation requirements:
• Make sure that there is sufficiently free space around the AC drive for cooling, see 5.2.2 Cooling of FR4 to FR9 or 5.2.3 Cooling of
Standalone AC drives (FR10 to FR11).
• Some free space is also necessary for maintenance.
• Make sure that the mounting surface is sufficiently flat.
5.1.2 High Altitude Installation
The density of air decreases when the altitude increases and the pressure decreases. When the air density decreases, the thermal
capacity decreases (that is, less air removes less heat) and the resistance to electric field (breakdown voltage/distance) decreases.
The full thermal performance of VACON® NX AC drives is designed for installation up to 1000 m altitude. The electric insulation is
designed for installations up to 2000 m altitude.
Higher installation locations are possible, when obeying the derating guidelines in this chapter.
Above 1000 m, decrease the limited maximum load current by 1% for each 100 m. For example, at 2500 m altitude, decrease the load
current down to 85% of the rated output current (100% – (2500–1000 m) / 100 m x 1% = 85%).
When using fuses at high altitudes, the cooling effect of the fuse decreases as the density of the atmosphere decreases.
When using fuses above 2000 meters, the continuous rating of the fuse:
I = In*(1- (h-2000)/100*0.5/100)
Where
I = Current rating at high altitude
In = Rated current of a fuse
h = Altitude in meters

5.2 Cooling Requirements
5.2.1 General Cooling Requirements
The AC drive produces heat in operation. The fan moves air and decreases the temperature of the drive. Make sure that there is
sufficiently free space around the drive.
Make sure that the temperature of the cooling air does not go above the maximum ambient operating temperature or below the
minimum ambient operating temperature of the drive.
5.2.2 Cooling of FR4 to FR9
If many AC drives are installed above each other, the necessary free space is C + D (see illustration 10). Make also sure that the outlet air
from the lower drive goes to a different direction than the air intake of the top drive.

For EMC-compliant installation, see 6.2 EMC-compliant Installation.
6.1.1 General Cable Requirements
Use cables with a minimum heat resistance of +70 °C (158 °F). In the selection of the cables and the fuses, refer to the nominal output
current of the drive. Find the nominal output current on the nameplate.
We recommend selecting the cables and the fuses to agree with the output current because the input current of the AC drive is almost
the same as the output current.
For information on how to make the cable installation to comply with the UL standards, see 6.1.2 UL Standards on Cabling.
If the motor temperature protection of the drive (see VACON® All in One Application Manual) is used as an overload protection, select
the cable to agree with the protection. If 3 or more cables are used in parallel for larger AC drives, use a separate overload protection
for each cable.
38 | Danfoss A/S © 2018.06 DPD00910G

These instructions are valid only for processes that have 1 motor and 1 cable connection from the AC drive to the motor. In other
conditions, speak to the manufacturer to get more information.
6.1.2 UL Standards on Cabling
To comply with the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) regulations, use a UL-approved copper wire with a minimum heat resistance of
60 °C or 75 °C (140 °F or 167 °F). To comply with the standards, use cables with +90 °C (194 °F) heat resistance for sizes 0170 2 and
0168 5 (FR8), and 0261 2, 0261 5, 0300 2 and 0300 5 (FR9).
Use Class 1 wire only.
When the drive has Class T and J fuses, it can be used on a circuit that gives a maximum of 100 000 rms symmetrical amperes, and a
maximum of 600 V.
The integral solid-state short-circuit protection does not give a branch circuit protection. Obey the National Electric Code and any
additional local codes to get the branch circuit protection. Only fuses give the branch circuit protection.
For the tightening torques of the terminals, see 12.6 Tightening Torques of the Terminals.
6.1.3 Cable Selection and Dimensioning
Find the typical sizes and types of cables used with the AC drive the tables in 12.3.1 List of Cable and Fuse Size Information. In the
selection of cables, refer to local regulations, cable installation conditions and cable specification.
The dimensions of the cables must comply with the requirements of the standard IEC60364-5-52.
• The cables must be PVC-isolated.

• The maximum ambient temperature is +30 °C (86 °F).
• The maximum temperature of the cable surface is +70 °C (158 °F).
• Use only cables with a concentric copper shield.
• The maximum number of parallel cables is 9.

In all the enclosure sizes, to comply with the EMC standards, use the default values of the switching frequencies.
If installing a safety switch, make sure that the EMC protection continues from the start of the cables until their ends.
The drive must obey the standard IEC 61000-3- 12. To obey it, the short circuit power SSC must be a minimum of 120 RSCE at the
interface point between mains and the public mains. Make sure to connect the drive and the motor to mains with a short circuit power
SSC that is a minimum of 120 RSCE. If necessary, contact the mains operator.
6.2.1 Installation in a Corner-grounded Network
Corner-grounding can be used with the drive types (FR4 to FR9) with a rating of 3–300 A with a 208–240 V mains, and 261–730 A with a
380–500 V mains. In these conditions, change the EMC protection level to C4. See the instructions in 6.6 Installation in an IT System.
Do not use corner-grounding with the drive types (FR4 to FR8) with a rating of 3–205 A with a 380–500 V mains or with a 525–690 V
mains.
Corner-grounding is permitted for the FR4-9 drives (main voltage 208–240 V) up to 3000 m and for the FR9-FR11 drives (main voltage
380–500 V) up to 2000 m.
6.3 Grounding
Ground the AC drive in accordance with applicable standards and directives.
CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE AC DRIVE FROM INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING
Not using a grounding conductor can damage the drive.
- Make sure that the AC drive is always with a grounding conductor that is connected to the grounding terminal that is
identified with the PE symbol.
42 | Danfoss A/S © 2018.06 DPD00910G

WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the drive properly can result in death or serious injury.
- Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment by a certified electrical installer.
The standard EN 61800-5-1 tells that 1 or more of these conditions for the protective circuit must be true.
The connection must be fixed.
• The protective earthing conductor must have a cross-sectional area of minimum 10 mm2 Cu or 16 mm2 Al. OR
• There must be an automatic disconnection of the mains, if the protective earthing conductor breaks. OR
• There must be a terminal for a second protective earthing conductor in the same cross-sectional area as the first protective
earthing conductor.
Cross-sectional area of the phase conductors (S) [mm2] The minimum cross-sectional area of the protective earthing
conductor in question [mm2]
S ≤ 16 S
16 < S ≤ 35 16
35 < S S/2
The values of the table are valid only if the protective earthing conductor is made of the same metal as the phase conductors. If this is
not so, the cross-sectional area of the protective earthing conductor must be determined in a manner that produces a conductance
equivalent to that which results from the application of this table.
The cross-sectional area of each protective earthing conductor that is not a part of the mains cable or the cable enclosure, must be a
minimum of:
• 2.5 mm2 if there is mechanical protection, and

• 4 mm2 if there is not mechanical protection. With cord-connected equipment, make sure that the protective earthing conductor in
the cord is the last conductor to be interrupted, if the strain-relief mechanism breaks.
Obey the local regulations on the minimum size of the protective earthing conductor.
NOTICE
MALFUNCTION OF FAULT CURRENT PROTECTIVE SWITCHES
Because there are high capacitive currents in the AC drive, it is possible that the fault current protective switches do not
operate correctly.
NOTICE
VOLTAGE WITHSTAND TESTS
Doing voltage withstand tests can damage the drive.
- Do not do voltage withstand tests on the AC drive. The manufacturer has already done the tests.
Danfoss A/S © 2018.06 DPD00910G | 43

WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD FROM PE CONDUCTOR
The drive can cause a DC current in the PE conductor. Failure to use a residual current-operated protective (RCD) device Type B
or a residual current-operated monitoring (RCM) device can lead to the RCD not providing the intended protection and
therefore can result in death or serious injury.
- Use a type B RCD or RCM device on the mains side of the drive.

6.5.1 Additional Instructions for Cable Installation
• Before starting, make sure that none of the components of the AC drive is live. Read carefully the warnings in Safety section.
• Make sure that the motor cables are sufficiently far from other cables.
• The motor cables must go across other cables at an angle of 90°.
• If it is possible, do not put the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.
• If the motor cables are in parallel with other cables, obey the minimum distances (see table 11).
• The distances are also valid between the motor cables and the signal cables of other systems.
• The maximum lengths of shielded motor cables are 300 m (984 ft) (AC drives with power greater than 1.5 kW or 2 hp), and 100 m
(328 ft) (AC drives with power from 0.75 kW to 1.5 kW or 1–2 HP). If the used motor cables are longer than these, speak to the
factory to get more information.
Each parallel cable adds to the total length.
NOTICE
If long motor cables are used (maximum 100 m or 328 ft) together with small drives (≤1.5 kW or ≤2.01 hp), the capacitive
current in the motor cable can increase the measured motor current compared to the actual motor current. Think this when
setting up the motor stall protection functions.
• If the cable insulation checks are necessary, see 9.3 Measuring the Cable and Motor Insulation.

descriptions of signals are shown in 7.3.2 Control Terminals on OPTA1.
For instructions on how to install the control unit that is not attached to the power unit, see VACON® NXP IP00 Drives Installation
Manual.
7.2 Control Voltage (+24V/EXT +24V)
It is possible to use the drive with an external power source with these properties: +24 V DC ±10%, minimum 1000 mA. Use it to
externally power up the control board, and the basic and option boards. The analog outputs and inputs at OPTA1 do not work with
only +24 V supplied to the control unit.
Connect the external power source to one of the 2 bidirectional terminals (#6 or #12), see the option board manual or VACON® NX I/O
Boards User Manual. With this voltage, the control unit stays on and parameters can be set. The measurements of the main circuit (for
example, the DC-link voltage, and the unit temperature) are not available when the drive is not connected to mains.

NOTICE
If the AC drive is supplies with external 24 V DC power, use a diode in terminal #6 (or #12) to prevent the current to flow in
opposite direction. Put a 1 A fuse in 24 V DC line for each AC drive. The maximum current consumption of each drive is 1 A from
the external supply.

To use the control voltage output +24 V/EXT+24 V:
• wire the +24 V control voltage to digital inputs through an external switch. OR
• use the control voltage to power up external equipment, such as encoders and auxiliary relays.
The specified total load on all available +24 V/EXT+24 V output terminals must not exceed 250 mA.

The maximum load on the +24 V/EXT+24 V output per board is 150 mA. If there is a +24 V/EXT+24 V output on the board, it is locally
short circuit protected. If one of the +24 V/ EXT+24 V outputs short circuits, the others remain powered because of the local protection.

7.3.2.2 Jumper Selections on the OPTA1 Basic Board
The functions of the AC drive can be changed to make them better agree with local requirements. To do this, change some positions
for the jumpers on the OPTA1 board. The positions of the jumpers set the signal type of analog and digital inputs. Changing the AI/AO
signal contents requires also a change in the related board parameter in menu M7.
On the A1 basic board, there are 4 jumper blocks: X1, X2, X3, and X6. Each jumper block contains 8 pins and 2 jumpers. See the possible
jumper selections in illustration 34.

fan stops about a minute after one of the following:
- the heat sink temperature falls to 55 °C (131 °F)
- the AC drive stops
- the fan control value is changed from Continuous to Temperature
• First start. When power is on, the fan is in the stop state. When the AC drive gets the first start command, the fan starts.
• Calc temp. The fan function agrees to the calculated IGBT temperature:
- If the IGBT temperature is more than 40 °C (104 °F), the fan starts.
- If the IGBT temperature is below 30 °C (86 °F), the fan stops.
As the default temperature at power-up is 25 °C (77 °F), the fan does not start immediately.

environments.)
• Do a check of the mains terminal, motor terminal, and the control terminals.
• Clean the cooling channel.
• Make sure that the cooling fan operates correctly.
• Make sure that there is no corrosion on the terminals, the busbars or other surfaces.
• In case of cabinet installation, do a check of the door filters.
5–7 years Change the cooling fans:
• the main fan

• the internal IP54 (UL Type 12) fan
• the cabinet cooling fan/filter
5–10 years Change the DC bus capacitors, if the DC voltage ripple is high.
10.2 Reforming the Capacitors
Context:
After a long storage time, it is necessary to reform the capacitors to prevent damage to the capacitors. To make sure that the possible
high leakage current through the capacitors stays in minimum, use a DC supply with an adjustable current limit.
If the AC drive was in store for much longer than 12 months and the capacitors were not charged, speak to the factory to get
instructions before connecting the power.
Procedure
1. Set the current limit to 300–800 mA to agree with the size of the drive.
2. Connect the DC supply to the B+/B terminals (DC+ to B+, DC- to B-) of the DC-link or directly to the capacitor terminals. In the NX
AC drives with no B+/B- terminals (FR8/FR9), connect the DC supply between 2 input phases (L1 and L2).
3. In drives FR8 to FR11: To make sure that the capacitors are fully charged, remove the fuses of the cooling fan. If necessary, speak to
the factory to get more instructions.
4. Set the DC voltage to the nominal DC voltage level of the AC drive (1.35*Un AC) and give the AC drive power for 1 hour, at
minimum.

11.1 General Information on Fault Tracing
When the control diagnostics of the AC drive find an unusual condition in the operation of the drive, the drive shows this information:
• This information shows on the display (see 8.5.1 Finding the Active Faults Menu):
- the location indication F1
- the fault code, see 12.10 Fault Codes
- a short description of the fault
- the fault type symbol, see table 19
- the FAULT or ALARM symbol
• The red LED on the control panel starts to blink (only when a fault shows).
If many faults show at the same time, examine the list of active faults with the Browser buttons.
In the VACON® NX AC drives, there are 4 different types of faults.
Table 19: Fault Types
Fault type symbol Description

A (Alarm) The type A fault (Alarm) tells about unusual operation on the drive. It does not stop the drive. The 'A fault'
stays in the display for about 30 s.
F (Fault) The type 'F fault' stops the drive. To start the drive again, find a solution to the problem.
AR (Fault Autore- The type 'AR fault' stops the drive. The fault is reset automatically and the drive tries to start the motor again.
set) If it cannot the start the motor again, a fault trip (see FT, Fault Trip) shows.
FT (Fault Trip) If the drive cannot start the motor after an AR fault, an FT fault shows. The type 'FT fault' stops the AC drive.
The fault stays active until it is reset, see 11.2 Resetting a Fault. The memory of active faults can keep the maximum of 10 faults in the
order in which they were shown.
Reset the fault with the [reset] button on the control panel, or through the control terminal, fieldbus, or the PC tool. The faults stay in
the Fault history.

12.7.1 Overload Capability
The low overload means that if 110% of the continuous current (IL) is required for 1 minute every 10 minutes, the remaining 9 minutes
must be approximately 98% of IL or less. This is to make sure that the output current is not more than IL during the duty cycle.

The high overload means that if 150% of the continuous current (IH) is required for 1 minute every 10 minutes, the remaining 9
minutes must be approximately 92% of IH or less. This is to make sure that the output current is not more than IH during the duty cycle.
