WARNING
High voltages during operation
When operating this equipment very high voltages develop. Even after switching off the mains
voltage, or while the connected machine is still turning, high voltages can remain for a
prolonged length of time. High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules
are not observed or if the equipment is handled incorrectly.
● Operate the drive properly.
● Always follow the "The five safety rules (Page 13)" when performing any work.
● Only remove the covers using the methods described by these operating instructions.
● Maintain the drive regularly and correctly.
WARNING
High voltages from machines still turning and connected
A rotating machine represents a risk as it can induce dangerous high voltages that are not
immediately de-excited. If the connection to the motor is not isolated or grounded, these
voltages can also remain. If live parts are touched, this can result in death and serious physical
injuries.
Before opening the doors, wait until the connected machine has come to a standstill.
WARNING
High voltages from DC link capacitors
After the mains voltage has been switched off with the "EMERGENCY STOP" pushbutton,
high voltages are still present at the DC link capacitors. In the event of improper handling or
non-observance of the safety instructions, death or serious injury could result.
Wait for the DC link capacitor's discharge time specified on the label on the device. Do not
touch the device during this time. Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
WARNING
High auxiliary voltages
High auxiliary voltages are still present even after shutdown. If live parts are touched, this
can result in death or serious physical injury.
Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
WARNING
Hazardous arcing
Hazards caused by arcing can occur as result of the following factors, for example:
● The input currents are exceeded
● Incorrectly dimensioned circuit breaker or transformers
● Incorrectly connected cables or cables that have not been connected
● Excessive pollution
Arcing can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Make sure that the system is properly dimensioned and that the power cables are correctly
connected. The maximum permissible input currents are listed in the "Technical

insufficient maintenance, and access by unauthorized persons can lead to accidents. The
results can be death, serious bodily injury or damage to property.
● Install the drive in electrical rooms where only qualified personnel have access. If this is
not possible, then ensure that a barrier prevents uncontrolled access. Use safety fences
and appropriate signs, for example, to prevent unauthorized entry to the zone that has
been fenced off.
● Put up notices which indicate that only trained personnel are allowed to operate the drive
and carry out maintenance and repair work.
Note
Installations that include drive drives need to be equipped with additional monitoring and
protection equipment to fulfill the safety requirements, e.g. technical equipment regulations,
accident prevention regulations, etc.
Note
The drive does not have a grounding breaker at the input/output. The system operator must,
therefore, ensure that there is sufficient grounding.
5. Damage from pressure build-up during electric arcs in the event of a fault
If the building has not been designed correctly for the drive in terms of how it has been
dimensioned, damage can result from the pressure that can possibly build up inside.
6. Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
The drives are designed according to the relevant IEC standards and have been tested in
line with strict type-testing procedures. They were developed and manufactured so that
there is a very low probability of internal faults occurring. However, internal faults cannot
be completely ruled out.
WARNING
Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
Defects such as damage to components, overvoltages, or loose parts, as well as exceptional
operating statuses, can cause a failure within the enclosure. This can result in an internal
electric arc. If an electric arc occurs and people are nearby, this could lead to death, serious
physical injury, and damage to property.
● Ensure that only qualified personnel perform work on the drive.
● Observe the safety and operating instructions in this documentation and on labels at the
drive for all work on the drive.

2.3 Benefits
The outstanding system properties offer companies operating plants and systems the following
advantages:
● Process optimization with minimal effort:
– A standard PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface and various analog and digital interfaces
allow them to be easily integrated into automation solutions.
– Vector control ensures that they fulfill the most exacting requirements regarding the
accuracy and dynamic response of drives.
● High level of reliability and availability:
– Individual modules and power components can be replaced quickly and easily, which
ensures a higher level of plant availability.
● Energy savings during operation:
– The motor-side inverters are coupled via the common DC link and allow energy to be
exchanged between motors that are motoring and generating. This means that energy
is saved, there is less load on the supply infeed and line harmonics are reduced.
– The supply infeed is generally only dimensioned for the maximum motor power required /
maximum motor current and not the sum of the energy requirements of the Motor
Modules connected to the DC link. For example, for conveyor systems or engine test
stands with Motor Modules that are simultaneously in the motoring and regenerative
mode, this frequently results in smaller line supplies.
● Cost minimization during operation, maintenance, and service:
– Simple commissioning thanks to the menu-driven "STARTER" commissioning tool.
– Optional, menu-assisted AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel with plain text display and
bar-type display.
– All the unit modules are easily accessible, offering a maximum degree of service
friendliness.
● Space-saving design
● Environmentally-friendly operation:
– The converters are exceptionally quiet and compact thanks to state-of-the-art IGBT
power semiconductors and an innovative cooling concept.

Electromagnetic compatibility (Page 77)
Note
We recommend that EMC is planned for the entire plant.
Cabinet installation
● Connect painted or anodized metal components using contact washers or remove the
insulating layer.
● Use unpainted, de-oiled mounting plates.
● Establish a central connection between ground and the protective conductor system (PE
protective conductor).
Cable installation
● Cables that are subject to or sensitive to interference should be laid as far apart from each
other as possible.
● The distance between the electric power cable and signal cable should be > 20 cm. The
drive-specific information applies to power cables. You can find further information on power
cables under "Connecting power cables".
● When the cables are routed close to ground potential, the immunity to interference is
increased. For this reason, you are advised to lay these cables along edges and at ground
potential.
● Ground the reserve cores on at least one end.
● In order to avoid additional locations where interference can be coupled in, long cables
should be shortened or routed where there is little interference.
● If conductors or cables conduct signals of different classes, then the conductors and cables
must cross at a right angle. This especially involves sensitive and noisy signals.
– Class 1:
Unshielded cables for ≤ 60 VDC
Unshielded cables for ≤ 25 VAC
Shielded analog signal cables
Shielded bus and data cables
Operator panel interfaces, incremental/absolute encoder cables
– Class 2:
Unshielded cables for > 60 VDC and ≤ 230 VDC
Unshielded cables for > 25 VAC and ≤ 230 VAC
– Class 3:
Unshielded cables for > 230 VAC/VDC and ≤ 1000 VAC/DC
– Class 4:
Unshielded cables for > 1000 VAC/DC
Shield connection
● Do not use cable shields to conduct current. In other words, cable shields must not
simultaneously act as neutral or PE conductors.
● Apply the cable shield so that it covers the greatest possible surface area. Use ground
clamps, ground terminals or ground screw connections.
● Avoid extending the cable shield to the grounding point via a wire. This reduces the shield
effectiveness by up to 90%.
● Attach the cable shield to a shield bar directly after the line inlet into the cabinet. Insulate
the shielded cable without any interruptions. Route the cable shield up to the device
connection.
① Shielding bus
② Shielded cable
③ Mounting clip
NOTICE
Damaged or incorrectly mounted cable shielding
Incorrect connection or damaging of the cable shield can impair the function of the system.
● Handle the cable shield carefully.
● Ensure that the cable shield is correctly connected.
● Bridge shield gaps (at terminals, circuit-breakers, contactors, etc.) with minimum
impedance and through the largest possible surface area.
① Shield buses
② Cable
③ Terminals
I/O interfacing
● Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
and distributed devices with the largest possible cross-section (at least 16 mm²).
● Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
● Choose the greatest possible clearance between the power and signal cables (at least 20
cm). The greater the distance over which the cables are routed in parallel, the greater the
clearance must be. You must install additional shields if sufficient clearance cannot be
maintained.
● Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.
● The operating coils for contactors and relays in the drive must be connected to overvoltage
limiters (e.g. RC elements or varistors).
● In order to reduce noise/interference entering or exiting via the cable, filter auxiliary voltages
in the control cabinet.

converter and damage parts of the converter.
Only change the factory setting of the coolant temperature when absolutely necessary. You
must always maintain the permitted temperature ranges.
NOTICE
Risk of short-circuit
If you operate the cooling system without converters, the temperature of the cooling liquid
can fall below the ambient temperature. The cooling liquid can condense at electrical
components and cause a short-circuit.
Always operate the converters and the cooling system together.
Note
If the temperature of the coolant exceeds 45° C, this can result in derating of the converter.
Note
The drum pump is not included in the scope of delivery.
A filling set (consisting of a drum pump, hoses and ball cocks) can be ordered from the
manufacturer of the cooling unit.
For additional information, refer to the operating instructions of the cooling unit.
Note
Prevent the ingress of dirt and foreign bodies into the cooling circuit.
Venting pumps
First vent the pumps ①.
Note
Please always read the operating instructions of the cooling unit. The exact position of the
venting screw is shown in the operating instructions of the cooling unit.
Venting components
Vent the components in the specified sequence:
● First vent the air-water heat exchanger
● Then, in a second step, vent the Basic Line Modules, Active Line Modules and Motor
Modules
The hose for venting the individual components can be found in the cabinet. Release the
ventilation hose ① from the cabinet frame. Hold the venting hose outside the cabinet in a
bucket.
CAUTION
Danger of injury caused by spray water
The coolant is harmful to eyes and skin and can damage surfaces.
If the air escapes intermittently, coolant spray can reach your skin or eyes.
Therefore, wear appropriate protective clothing for all work on the converter. However, if your
eyes or skin do come into contact with coolant, rinse the affected area thoroughly with tap
water as soon as possible. If coolant has escaped, remove the liquid from the affected
surfaces.
Please refer to the EU safety data sheet of the coolant manufacturer.
Note
Stainless steel cooler
You do not have to vent Active Line Modules and Motor Modules, size FXL/GXL with stainless

Note
You can find additional notes in the "SINAMICS S120 Power Units Chassis Liquid Cooled/
Cooling Circuit and Coolant Properties and Condensation Protection/Commissioning" Manual.
Completing venting
● Vent the pumps and components and refill with short pauses several times.
● Allow the system to stabilize a short time after each venting so that the air can collect at
the highest points. Because the coolant is viscous, the air bubbles only gather at the highest
points slowly and with difficulty.
6.2.3 Commissioning
Proceed as follows to commission the cooler:
1. Switch on the cooling unit power supply.
2. Commission the cooling unit in accordance with the manufacturer's operating instructions.
Note
Please always read the operating instructions of the cooling unit.
4. Switch a pump into manual operation. The water-air mixture is circulated. The air can
accumulate at the highest points. If coolant is still not pumped when the pumps are first
switched on, too much air is still present in the system. You vent the cooling unit as
described in Chapter "Venting the cooling circuit (Page 96)".
NOTICE
Damage to the pumps
The pumps can be damaged if they run dry.
Make sure that the pumps do not run dry.
5. When the pumps operate, monitor the pressure manometer at the expansion vessel on the
suction side of the pumps. The supply pressure increases once the pump feeds coolant.
Although the return pressure decreases, it should not fall below 0.5 bar. To do this, monitor
the pressure manometer at the expansion vessel. If the return pressure falls below 0.5 bar
then there is insufficient coolant in the system. Add coolant as described in Chapter "Filling
the cooling circuit (Page 95)".
6. Monitor the intake and return pump pressure at the operator panel of the cooling unit. The
pump intake pressure should not exceed 5 bar. The integrated pressure relief valve
responds at 6 bar.
7. After running the pump briefly, vent again as described in Chapter "Venting the cooling
circuit (Page 96)"
8. The three-way valve in the idle state is at position "0". The cooling water is fed past the
heat exchanger and air remains in the heat exchanger. When pumping, set the three-way
valve to the "1" position. The heat exchanger fills with coolant. and displaces the air.
