5.2 Safe Operation and Maintenance Specifications

Installation, wiring and maintenance work must be performed by qualified electricians. Before operation, all power supplies must be disconnected, and the Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedure must be implemented. After disconnecting the power supply, wait for 5 minutes to allow the intermediate circuit capacitor to discharge completely, and confirm that the voltage is close to 0V with a multimeter (impedance ≥1MΩ) before operation to avoid electric shock hazards.
It is strictly prohibited to connect the drive to a power supply exceeding the rated voltage to avoid activating the braking chopper, which may cause resistor overload or rapid motor operation; insulation or withstand voltage tests on the drive are prohibited to prevent damage to internal circuits.
During installation, ensure that the wall-mounted surface is firm and reserve sufficient ventilation space to avoid dust accumulation and high-temperature environment; symmetrical shielded VFD cables are recommended for motor cables, with both ends grounded to reduce electromagnetic interference and bearing wear.
If the drive has not been powered on for more than 1 year, the DC link capacitor must be reconditioned first, which can be performed with reference to the official hardware manual or by contacting ABB technical support; regularly clean dust on the equipment surface, check the tightness of wiring terminals and the insulation status of cables to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
