ABB ACS510-01 Inverter Brochure

Preparing for Installation

Lifting the inverter

Lift the inverter by holding the base of the inverter only.

Opening the packing box

1. Open the packing box.

2. Check for damage. If any damage is found, notify the carrier immediately. 3.

3. Check that the contents of the box correspond to the order and the waybill.

Identification of the inverter

To find out which inverter you are installing, refer to the following

- The label on the top of the bar code between the mounting holes.

- Model code on the heat sink - located on the right side of the inverter cover:

Motor Compatibility The motor, inverter and power supply must be compatible:

Tool Requirements The following tools are required to install the ACS510:

- Screwdriver ( to match the fasteners used)

- Wire stripper

- Tape measure

- Drill

- Fasteners: screws or nuts and bolts, four each. Fasteners: screws or nuts and bolts, four each. The specific type depends on the mounting surface and structural dimensions:

Environmental and enclosure protection Verify that the installation site meets the requirements for the environment in which it is to be used.

To prevent damage, storage and transport prior to installation must be carried out in accordance with the requirements for storage and transport in the environmental requirements.

See ‘Environmental conditions’ on page 232. Depending on the degree of contamination on site, check that the enclosure protection class is appropriate:

- IP21/ UL 1 Enclosure. The site must be free of floating dust, corrosive gases or liquids, and electrically conductive contaminants such as condensation, charcoal dust, metal particles, etc.

- IP54/ UL 12 enclosure. This enclosure provides protection against airborne dust and light splashes and droplets from all directions.

Make sure that the installation location fulfils the following conditions:

- The frequency converter must be mounted vertically on a smooth, solid surface and comply with the environmental requirements mentioned above.

- The minimum space requirement for the frequency converter is the external dimensions (see ‘External dimensions’ on page 231) plus the ventilation space around the frequency converter.

- The distance between motor and frequency inverter is limited by the maximum motor cable length.

- The installation location must be able to support the weight and noise output of the frequency converter. See ‘Weight’ on page 232.

Mounting the frequency converter

Preparing the installation site

The ACS510 should be mounted in a location that meets the requirements of ‘ Preparing for Installation’, page 8.

1. Calibrate the mounting holes. 2.

2. Drill the holes.

Note! Dimensions R3 and R4 have four holes in the top of the module, only two of which need to be used. If possible, try to use the outer two holes (this allows space to remove the fan for maintenance).

NOTE! When replacing an ACS400 with an ACS510. the original mounting holes can be used. The mounting holes are the same for sizes R1 and R2.

For construction sizes R3 and R4. the inside mounting holes on the top of the ACS510 inverter match the mounting holes of the ACS400.

Removing the front panel IP21/ UL 1

1. Remove the control panel, if present. 2.

2. Loosen the fastening screws at the top. 3.

3. Remove the front panel from the top.

IP54/ UL 12

1. If equipped with a guard, remove the screws securing the guard. 2.

2. Move the cover upwards.

3. Loosen the self-tapping screws around the front panel of the inverter. 4.

4. Remove the front panel of the inverter.

The following diagram shows the terminal layout of the module with external dimensions R3.

In principle, the wiring diagrams are similar for all sizes (R1...R6).

The most obvious differences between the R5 and R6 modules are only in the power and ground terminals.
