Technical Specifications

Technical FAQs

How does the iC2-30 handle electromagnetic interference in industrial grids?

The 132L6108 includes a built-in F4 category EMC filter. While this provides standard protection, for environments requiring C1 or C2 compliance (residential or light industrial), additional external filtering may be necessary to prevent signal noise on sensitive instrumentation.

Can this model be used for vertical lifting applications without a brake chopper?

No. This specific variant (+ACXX) lacks an integrated brake chopper. For applications involving regenerative braking or high-inertia loads like cranes or vertical conveyors, a model with an integrated chopper or an external regenerative unit is required to prevent over-voltage trips.

What are the primary mounting requirements for the IP20 chassis?

The IP20 rating requires the unit to be installed within a protective control cabinet. It supports side-by-side mounting to save rail space, provided that vertical clearance is maintained for the air-cooling intake and exhaust.

Engineering & Installation Guide

• Thermal Management & Clearance: To ensure the longevity of the 6.8 A power stage, maintain a minimum vertical clearance of 100 mm above and below the unit. Even though the iC2-30 supports side-by-side mounting, in high-ambient environments (above 40 deg C), a 5 mm gap between drives is recommended to prevent localized heat pockets.

• Wiring & Grounding Compliance: Always utilize shielded motor cables to minimize RFI. Ensure the shield is grounded at both the frequency converter and the motor end using metal saddles (360-degree grounding) rather than "pigtails," which act as antennas for high-frequency noise.

• Overload Protection: The unit provides electronic motor overload protection. Ensure the motor nameplate data (Current, RPM, Voltage) is accurately commissioned into the drive parameters to prevent stator overheating during low-speed, high-torque operations.
