Frequently asked questions

What are the main safety warnings for the ACS550 drives?

The manual warns of dangerous voltage on power terminals, the need for qualified electricians, the presence of voltage even when the motor is stopped, the requirement to disconnect EMC filters on certain power systems, and the heavy weight of the drive requiring lift lugs only.

How should the EMC filter be disconnected when installing the drive on an IT system?

Disconnect the EMC filter (frame size R7) and the varistor network (frame sizes R7 and R8) before connecting the drive to an IT (ungrounded) or corner‑grounded TN system.
