SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

D550

DIGITAL AVR

For the user’s own safety, the D550 must be connected to an approved earth using the earth terminal shown above.
M4 female terminal. Useful depth 4 mm, tightening torque 1.2 Nm ± 0.2 Nm.

Tightening torque for user terminal is:

  • Connectors 3.5 mm pitch: 0.22 Nm min. to 0.25 Nm max.

Crimping power connectors (provided into the kit) must be done with a specific tool:

  • Tyco Electronics ref. 91500, 91510, 91508, 91506 or equivalent

For UL certified generators:
– Copper conductors, with adapted gauge and temperature rating at least 75°C must be used.
– Instrument transformers shall comply with basic insulation requirements defined in the Instrument Transformers standards (IEEE C57.13 series) or the equivalent.
– Protection for the power supply circuit by Listed Class CC Fuse (15A max.) or Listed inverse time circuit breaker (10A max.).
– Protection for the auxiliary DC supply by 1A fast acting fuse (Mersen 250FA 1A- E76491 or equivalent).

It is essential to comply with the power connection diagrams recommended in this manual.

The D550 includes devices which, in the event of problems, can deenergize or over excite the generator. The generator itself can also become jammed for mechanical reasons. Finally, voltage fluctuations or power cuts may also cause the unit to stop.

In an installation, the D550 is a device designed to be integrated into an electric cabinet or enclosed into the electrical machine, and can under no circumstances be considered to be a safety device. It is therefore the responsibility of the machine manufacturer, the designer of the installation or the user to take all necessary precautions to ensure that the system complies with current standards, and to provide any devices required to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel (especially direct contact with connectors when the AVR is running).

Nidec Leroy-Somer declines all responsibility in the event of the above recommendations not being observed.

Please refer to D550 instruction manual, available in Nidec LeroySomer website, to ensure installation and wiring. You must imperatively understand and comply with the safety instructions described in it.
