Safety requirements. Electrical, thermal and energy.
2. Safety What this chapter contains This chapter contains the safety instructions which you must follow when installing, operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or damage may occur to the drive, motor or driven equipment. Read the safety instructions before you work on the unit.
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment. The drive is not field repairable. Never attempt to repair a malfunctioning drive; contact your local ABB representative or Authorized Service Centre for replacement.

Ensure that all terminals are tightened to the appropriate torque setting Do not attempt to carry out any repair of the ACS255. In the case of suspected fault or malfunction, contact your local ABB Drives representative for further assistance.
The type designation contains information on the specification and configuration of the drive. You find the type designation label attached to the drive. The first digits from the left express the basic configuration, for example ACS255-03U-02A1-6. The explanations of the type designation label selections are described below.
Check the drive rating label to ensure it is of the correct type and power requirements for the application. To prevent accidental damage always store the ACS255 in its original box until required. Storage should be clean and dry and within the temperature range –40°C to +60°C.
In any environments where the conditions require it, the enclosure must be designed to protect the ACS255 against ingress of airborne dust, corrosive gases or liquids, conductive contaminants (such as condensation, carbon dust, and metallic particles) and sprays or splashing water from all directions.
4.7. Guidelines for mounting (IP66 Units) Before mounting the drive, ensure that the chosen location meets the environmental condition requirements for the drive shown in section 11.1. The drive must be mounted vertically, on a suitable flat surface ...
This ACS255 contains high voltage capacitors that take time to discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive, ensure isolation of the main supply from line inputs. Wait ten (10) minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels.
The ground terminal of each ACS255 should be individually connected DIRECTLY to the site ground bus bar (through the filter if installed). The ACS255 ground connections should not loop from one drive to another, or to, or from any other equipment. Ground loop impedance must confirm to local industrial safety regulations.
5.4. Compatibility with IT (ungrounded) and corner-grounded TN systems WARNING! EMC filters should not be used when installing the drive on an IT system (an ungrounded power system or high-resistance-grounded power system, otherwise the system will be connected to ground potential through the EMC capacitors. This may cause danger or damage to the EMC filter. If you have an IT (ungrounded) system or corner-grounded TN system, disconnect the internal Varistor screw as shown below.
The motor should be connected to the ACS255 U, V, and W terminals using a suitable 3 or 4 core cable. Where a 3 core cable is utilised, with the shield operating as an earth conductor, the shield must have a cross sectional area at least equal to the phase conductors when they are made from the same material.
