   - Before working on the electrical connection, the connections to the mains supply and PE must be shorted. 

The device is a built-in component and features no electrically isolating switch. 

- →Connect the device only to circuits that can be switched off using an all-pole disconnecting switch. 

- →When working on the device, you must switch off the system/machine in which the device is installed and secure it from being switched on again. 

## **NOTE** 

## **Water penetration into leads or wires** 

Water enters at the cable end on the customers side and can damage the device. 

- →Make sure that the cable end is connected in a dry environment. 

Connect the device only to circuits that can be switched off using an all-pole disconnecting switch. 

## **4.2.1 Prerequisites** 

- ; Check that the data on the type plate match the connection data. 

- ; If the operating capacitor is not installed by ebm-papst, check whether the data of the operating capacitor match the data on the type plate. 

- ; Before connecting the device, ensure that the supply voltage matches the operating voltage of the device. 

- ; Only use cables designed for current according to the type plate. For determining the cross-section, follow the basic principles in accordance with EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section equal to or greater than the outer conductor crosssection. 

   - We recommend the use of 105°C cables. Ensure that the minimum cable cross-section is at least AWG26/0.13 mm². 

## **Protective earth contact resistance as per EN 60335** 

Compliance with the resistance specifications as per EN 60335 for the protective earth connection circuit must be verified in the application. Depending on the installation situation, it may be necessary to connect an additional protective earth conductor by way of the extra protective earth terminal provided on the device. 

## **4.2.2 Voltage control** 

## **NOTE** 

- Excessive current may occur with speed control using transformers or electronic voltage regulators (e.g. phase angle control). In addition, depending on how the unit is installed, noise and vibration can occur with phase angle control. Vibrations can lead to bearing damage, which can lead to premature failure. 

## **4.2.3 Frequency inverter** 

Please use a frequency converter only after consultation with ebm-papst. 

For operation with frequency converters, fit sinusoidal filters that work on all poles (phase-phase and phase-earth) between the frequency converter and the motor. 

- During operation with frequency converters, an all-pole sine filter protects the motor against high-voltage transients that can destroy the winding insulation system, and against harmful bearing currents.
