**G2E120-AR77-01** 

## Operating instructions 

## **4. CONNECTION AND STARTUP** 

## **4.1 Mechanical connection** 

## **CAUTION** 

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

- Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off with an all-pole disconnection switch. 

## **Cutting and crushing hazard when removing blower** 

   - **from packaging 4.2.1 Requirements** 

- →Carefully remove the blower from its packaging, touching ; 

- A only the housing. Strictly avoid shocks. 

      - ; Check whether the information on the nameplate matches the connection data. 

→Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves. 

- ; If the motor run capacitor was not installed by ebm-papst, check whether the information on the motor run capacitor matches the information on the nameplate. 

## **NOTE** 

## **Damage to the device from vibration** 

- ; Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches the device voltage. 

Bearing damage, shorter service life 

- →The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive vibration from sections of the installation. #If the fan is connected to air ducts, the connection should be isolated from vibration, e.g. using compensators or similar elements. #Ensure stress-free attachment of the fan to the substructure. 

   - ; Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the nameplate. 

      - For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor. We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum cable cross-section is at least AWG 26 / 0.13 mm². 

- ; Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not to be installed. 

- ; Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application. 

## **CAUTION** 

- **CAUTION Possible damage to the device** 

- A If the device slips during installation, serious damage can result. →Ensure that the device is securely positioned at its place of installation until all fastening screws have been tightened. 

## **Protective earth contact resistance according to EN 60335** 

Compliance with the resistance specifications according to EN 60335 for the protective earth connection circuit must be verified in the end 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. 

- The fan must not be strained on fastening. 

## **4.2 Electrical connection** 

## **4.2.2 Voltage control** 

## **DANGER** 

With speed control using transformers or electronic voltage regulators (e.g. phase control), excessive current may occur. In addition, depending on how the device is installed, noises can occur with phase control. 

## **Voltage on the device** 

- Electric shock 

- →Always connect a protective earth first. 

- →Check the protective earth. 

**4.2.3 Variable frequency drive** 

## **DANGER** 

Please use a variable frequency drive only after consultation with ebmpapst. 

## **Faulty insulation** 

- Risk of fatal injury from electric shock 

   - For operation with variable frequency drives, install sinusoidal filters that work on all poles (phase-phase and phase-ground) between the drive and the motor. 

- →Use only cables that meet the specified installation regulations for voltage, current, insulation material, capacity, etc. 

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

- →Route cables so that they cannot be touched by any rotating parts. 

## **CAUTION** 

## **Voltage** 

Heating of the motor due to use of a variable frequency drive must be checked in the application by the customer. 

The device is a built-in component and has no disconnecting switch. 

## **4.3 Connecting the cables** 

- →Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off with an all-pole disconnection switch. 

The device has external leads. 

- →When working on the device, secure the system/ machine in which the device is installed so as to prevent it from being switched back on. 

- ; First connect the "PE" (protective earth). 

- Connect the cables according to your application. When doing so, observe Chapter 4.4 Connection diagram. 

## **NOTE** 

## **Water ingress into wires or cables** 

Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can damage the device.

**G2E120-AR77-01** 

## Operating instructions 

## **4.5 Checking connections** 

- ; Ensure isolation from supply (all phases). 

- ; Make sure a restart is impossible 

- ; Check the cables for proper fit. 

## **4.6 Switching on the device** 

The device may only be switched on if it has been installed properly and in accordance with its intended use, including the required safety mechanisms and professional electrical hookup. This also applies for devices which have already been equipped with plugs and terminals or similar connectors by the customer. 

## **WARNING** 

## **Hot motor housing** 

- Risk of fire 

- →Ensure that no combustible or flammable materials are 

located close to the blower. 

- ; Before switching on, check the device for visible external damage and make sure the protective devices are functional. 

- ; Check the fan's air flow paths for foreign matter and remove any foreign matter found. 

- ; Apply the nominal supply voltage. 

## **NOTE** 

## **Damage to the device from vibration** 

Bearing damage, shorter service life 

- →Low-vibration operation of the fan must be ensured over the entire speed control range. #Severe vibration can arise for instance from inexpert handling, transportation damage and resultant imbalance or be caused by component or structural resonance. #Speed ranges with excessively high vibration levels and possibly resonant frequencies must be determined in the course of fan commissioning. #Either run through the resonant range as quickly as possible with speed control or find another remedy.# Operation with excessively high vibration levels can lead to premature failure. 

## **4.7 Switching off the device** 

- ; Disconnect the device from the power supply at the supply line's main switch. 

- ; When disconnecting, be sure to disconnect the ground connection last. 

## **5. MAINTENANCE, MALFUNCTIONS, POSSIBLE CAUSES AND REMEDIES** 

Do not perform any repairs on your device. Send the device to ebmpapst for repair or replacement. 

## **WARNING Live terminals and connections even with device switched off** 

Electric shock 

- →Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles before opening the device. 

## **CAUTION** 

**Electric charge on capacitor after device is switched off** Electric shock, risk of injury 

- →Discharge the capacitors before working on the device. 

## **CAUTION** 

**The motor restarts automatically when operating voltage is applied, e.g. after a power failure.** 

Risk of injury 

- →Keep out of the device's danger zone. 

- →When working on the device, switch off the line voltage and ensure that it cannot be switched back on. 

- →Wait until the device comes to a stop. 

If the device is out of use for some time, e.g. when in storage, we recommend switching it on for at least two hours to allow any condensation to evaporate and to move the bearings.
