9. If compressed air is used in the food industry and more specifically for direct food contact, it
is recommended, for optimal safety, to use certified Class 0 compressors in combination
with appropriate filtration depending on the application. Please contact your customer center
for advice on specific filtration.

1.3 Safety precautions during installation


All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.

Precautions during installation


1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable
safety regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is
strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and
deceleration must be kept within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area
of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must
be taken; consult your supplier.
3. In case the device is a compressor, place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and
clean as possible. If necessary, install a suction duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care must
be taken to minimize the entry of moisture at the inlet air.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting
the pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed,
damaged or worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and
suitable for the working pressure.
6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes,
vapors and particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by
people cannot be drawn in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to
expand under heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of
strain.
10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This
machine is remotely controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the
electrical isolating switch is open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any
maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on or off remotely
controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one checking
or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start
equipment.
11. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is
available and that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or
cooling air inlet.

2920 7140 34 7
Instruction book

12. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be
earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power
isolating switch must be installed near the compressor.
13. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after
voltage failure is activated, a sign stating "This machine may start without warning" must be
affixed near the instrument panel.
14. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each
compressor. Non-return valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure
systems.
15. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine.
Every pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above
atmospheric pressure must be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as
required.
16. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70˚C (158˚F) and which may be
accidentally touched by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or insulated. Other
high temperature piping must be clearly marked.
17. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed outside the machine has to
be protected by a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water
inlet pressure.
18. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the manufacturer.
19. If the device is a dryer and no free extinguishing system is present in the air net close to the
dryer, safety valves must be installed in the vessels of the dryer.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and
Safety precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the
application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.

1.4 Safety precautions during operation


All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.

6. Keep all bodywork doors shut during operation. The doors may be opened for short periods
only, e.g. to carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when opening a door.
On machines without bodywork, wear ear protection in the vicinity of the machine.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or
exceeds 80 dB(A) shall wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
• All guards are in place and securely fastened
• All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not
rubbing
• No leaks occur
• All fasteners are tight
• All electrical leads are secure and in good order
• Safety valves and other pressure relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
• Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in
good repair, free of wear or abuse
• Air cooling filters of the electrical cabinet are not clogged
9. If warm cooling air from compressors is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a
workroom, take precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing
air.
10. On water-cooled compressors using open circuit cooling towers, protective measures must
be taken to avoid the growth of harmful bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila bacteria.
11. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material.
12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine.
Every pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above
atmospheric pressure shall be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as
required.
13. Yearly inspect the air receiver. Minimum wall thickness as specified in the instruction book
must be respected. Local regulations remain applicable if they are more strict.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and
Safety precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the
application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.

1.5 Safety precautions during maintenance or repair


All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.

Precautions during maintenance or repair


1. Always use the correct safety equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes,
etc.).
2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.

2920 7140 34 9
Instruction book

3. Use only genuine spare parts for maintenance or repair. The manufacturer will disclaim all
damage or injuries caused by the use of non-genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress; do not start" shall be attached
to the starting equipment.
6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to
ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable
notice shall be affixed to the remote start equipment.
7. Close the compressor air outlet valve and depressurize the compressor before connecting
or disconnecting a pipe.
8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all
sources of pressure and relieve the entire system of pressure.
9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety
precautions against toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by
covering the parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be
completely purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld
on, or in any way modify, pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is
overheated, the machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before
sufficient cooling time has elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil
vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure
vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they
function properly. They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating
pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down
devices are fitted and that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard
of the compressor drive shaft has been reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of
the oil separator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture
from entering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on
the bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition.
If damaged, replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound
pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate
bowls.
21. Only if applicable, the following safety precautions are stressed when handling
refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if
required, use breathing protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin
with water. If liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or
remove the latter; flush abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant
is flushed away; then seek medical first aid.

2.2 Air flow

Flow diagrams

Flow diagram, G Workplace

Reference Description
A Intake air
B Air/oil mixture
C Oil
D Wet compressed air
E Condensate

Description
Air drawn through filter (AF) and open inlet valve (IV) of unloader is compressed in compressor
element (E). A mixture of compressed air and oil flows into the air receiver/oil separator (AR) via
check valve (CV). The air is discharged through outlet valve (AV) via minimum pressure valve
(Vp) and air cooler (Ca).
The air cooler is provided with a moisture trap (MT).
In all circumstances, minimum pressure valve (Vp) keeps the pressure in the separator tank (AR)
above a minimum value, required for lubrication. An integrated check valve prevents the
compressed air downstream the valve from being vented to atmosphere during unloaded
operation. When the compressor is stopped, check valve (CV) and inlet valve (IV) close,
preventing compressed air (and oil) to be vented into the air filter.

References Description
1 Compressed air flow to the air outlet valve
A Intake air
B Air/oil mixture
C Oil
D Wet compressed air

Description
In air receiver/oil separator (AR), most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture by centrifugal
action. The remaining oil is removed by oil separator (OS). The oil collects in the lower part of air
receiver/oil separator (AR), which serves as an oil tank.
The oil system is provided with a thermostatic bypass valve (BV). When the oil temperature is
below its set point, bypass valve (BV) shuts off the supply to oil cooler (Co) and the oil cooler is
bypassed.
Air pressure forces the oil from air receiver/oil separator (AR) through oil filter (OF) and oil stop
valve (Vs) to compressor element (E).
Bypass valve (BV) starts opening the supply from cooler (Co) when the oil temperature has
increased to the set point. At approx. 15 ˚C (27 ˚F) above the set point, all the oil flows through
the oil cooler.

2920 7140 34 17

Oil stop valve (Vs) prevents the compressor element from flooding with oil when the compressor
is stopped. The valve is opened by element outlet pressure when the compressor is started.

2.6 Regulating system

Load/unload regulating system

Regulating system (loaded condition)

2920 7140 34 21
Instruction book

Loading
When the net pressure is below the loading pressure, solenoid valve (Y1) is energised. Results:
• The space above unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) is connected with the oil separator
tank pressure (1) via the solenoid valve.
• Unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) moves downwards, closing off the connection to
channels (2) and (3).
• Underpressure from the compressor element causes loading plunger (LP) to move
downwards and inlet valve (IV) to open fully.
Air delivery is 100%, the compressor runs loaded.

Unloading
If the air consumption is less than the air output of the compressor, the net pressure increases.
When the net pressure reaches the unloading pressure, solenoid valve (Y1) is de-energised.
Results:
• The pressure above unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) is released to atmosphere and the
space above valve (UV) is no longer in connection with the oil separator tank pressure (1).
• Unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) moves upwards, connecting the oil separator tank
pressure (1) with channels (2) and (3).
• The pressure in channel (2) causes the loading plunger (LP) to move upwards, causing inlet
valve (IV) to close, while the pressure is gradually released to atmosphere.
• The pressure in the separator tank stabilises at low value. A small amount of air is kept
drawn in to guarantee a minimal pressure, required for lubrication during unloaded
operation.
Air output is stopped, the compressor runs unloaded.

3.1 Controller

General

The electronic controller has following functions:


• Controlling the compressor
The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically
loading and unloading the compressor. A number of programmed settings, e.g. the
unloading and loading pressures, the minimum stop time and the maximum number of motor
starts are taken into account.
The regulator stops the compressor whenever possible to reduce the power consumption
and restarts it automatically when the net pressure decreases. If the expected unloading
period is too short, the compressor is kept running unloaded (see section Flow diagram,
paragraph regulating system) to prevent too short standstill periods.
• Protecting the compressor
• Protection against reversal rotation of the compressor
• Protection of the motor
• Protection against too high oil temperature
• Monitoring components subject to service

4.1 Controller

The Elektronikon™ Swipe controller

Introduction
The controller has following functions:
• Controlling the unit
• Protecting the unit
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

Automatic control of the unit


The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading
and unloading the unit.
A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures, the minimum stop
time and the maximum number of motor starts are taken into account.
The controller stops the unit whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. If the expected unloading period is too short, the
unit is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.

A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the unit.

30 2920 7140 34
Instruction book

Protecting the unit


Shutdown
If the element outlet temperature exceeds the programmed shutdown level, the unit will be
stopped.
The unit will also be stopped in case of overload of the drive motor or fan motor.

Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.


Before resetting a warning or shutdown message, always solve the problem. Frequently
resetting these messages without remedying may damage the unit.

Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning level is a programmable level below the shutdown level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shutdown warning level, a message will
appear on the display and the general alarm LED will light up to warn the operator before the
shutdown level is reached.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears or after a manual warning
reset on the display.
When the shutdown warning is shown, press stop button to stop the unit and wait until the unit
has stopped. Switch off the voltage, inspect the unit and remedy if necessary. The warning
message will disappear as soon as the warning condition disappears.

Service warning
The service timer has a programmed time interval. If the service timer exceeds the programmed
value, this will be indicated on the display to warn the operator to carry out the service actions.
When the service warning is shown, stop the unit, switch off the voltage and carry out the
required service actions. See section Preventive Maintenance.

Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)


The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the unit when the voltage is restored
after voltage failure. For units leaving the factory, this function is made inactive.
To activate this function, you have to change the Access level to ‘Service user’. This profile is
password protected. See Controller settings menu.
Consult your supplier.

If the function is activated and provided the controller was in the automatic operation
mode, the unit will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.
The ARAVF label (see section Pictographs) shall be glued near to the controller.

5.1 Controller

The Elektronikon™ Touch controller

Introduction
The controller has following functions:
• Controlling the unit
• Protecting the unit
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

Automatic control of the unit


The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading
and unloading the unit (fixed speed units) or by adapting the motor speed (units with frequency
converter).
A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures (for fixed speed
units), the setpoint (for units with frequency converter), the minimum stop time, the maximum
number of motor starts and several other parameters are taken into account.
The controller stops the unit whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. If the expected unloading period is too short, the
unit is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.

A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the unit.

2920 7140 34 49
Instruction book

Protecting the unit


Shutdown
Several sensors are provided on the unit. If one of the measured signals exceeds the
programmed shutdown level, the unit will be stopped.
Example: If the element outlet temperature exceeds the programmed shutdown level, the unit will
be stopped. This will be indicated on the display of the controller.
The unit will also be stopped in case of overload of the drive motor or fan motor.

Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.


Before resetting a warning or shutdown message, always solve the problem. Frequently
resetting these messages without remedying may damage the unit.

Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning level is a programmable level below the shutdown level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shutdown warning level, a message will
appear on the display and the general alarm LED will light up to warn the operator before the
shutdown level is reached.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
When the shutdown warning is shown, press stop button to stop the unit and wait until the unit
has stopped. Switch off the voltage, inspect the unit and remedy if necessary. The warning
message will disappear as soon as the warning condition disappears.

Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped as a Service Plan. Each Service Plan has a
programmed time interval. If the service timer exceeds a programmed value, this will be indicated
on the display to warn the operator to carry out the service actions belonging to that Service Plan.
When the service warning is shown, stop the unit, switch off the voltage and carry out the
required service actions. See section Preventive Maintenance.

Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)


The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the unit when the voltage is restored
after voltage failure. For units leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the
function can be activated. Consult your supplier.

If the function is activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation
mode, the unit will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.
The ARAVF label (see section Pictographs) shall be glued near to the controller.

Description

1 Compressor
Install the compressor unit on a solid, level floor, suitable for taking its weight.
2 Position of the compressed air outlet valve.

2920 7140 34 75
Instruction book

3 The pressure drop over the air delivery pipe can be calculated from:
Δp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P), with
d = inner diameter of the pipe in mm
Δp = pressure drop in bar (recommended maximum: 0.1 bar (1.5 psi))
L = length of the pipe in m
P = absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc = free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
It is recommended that the connection of the compressor air outlet pipe is made on top of the
main air net pipe in order to minimize carry-over of possible condensate residue.
4 Ventilation: the inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any
recirculation of cooling air to the compressor or dryer is avoided. The maximum air velocity
through the grids is 5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The maximum allowed pressure drop in ventilation ducts before or after the compressor is 30 Pa.
The maximum air temperature at the compressor intake is 46 ˚C (115 ˚F), the minimum
temperature is 0 ˚C (32 ˚F).
• For air cooled compressors and ventilation alternatives 1 and 3, the ventilation
capacity required to limit the compressor room temperature can be calculated from
Qv = 1.06 N/ΔT
with
Qv = required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = nominal power of the compressor motor in kW
ΔT = temperature increase in the compressor room in °C
For ventilation alternatives 2 and 4: the fan capacity should match the compressor fan
capacity at a pressure head equal to the pressure drop over the air ducts.
5 The drain pipes to the drain collector must not dip into the water of the drain collector. Atlas
Copco has oil/water separators (type OSD) to separate the oil from the condensate to ensure that
the condensate meets the requirements of the environmental codes.
Drain pipes of different compressors may not be interconnected before the (atmospheric)
collector as this can damage the electronic drains.
6 Control module with monitoring panel.
7 Power supply cable to be sized and installed by a qualified electrician.
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components from dust
from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when connecting the supply
cable to the compressor.
8 — 12 Filter DD for general purpose filtration (particle removal down to 1 micron with a maximum oil
carry over of 0.5 mg/m3. A high-efficiency filter, type PD, may be installed downstream of a DD
filter. This filter traps solid particles down to 0.01 micron with a maximum oil carry-over of 0.01
mg/m3. If oil vapors and odors are undesirable, a QD type filter can be installed downstream of
the PD filter.
It is recommended to install bypass pipes with ball valves over each filter in order to isolate the
filters during service operations without disturbing the compressed air delivery.
9 Install the air receiver (to be purchased separately) in a frost free room, on a solid, level floor,
suitable for taking its weight.
For normal air consumption, the volume of the air net (receiver and piping) can be calculated
from:
V = (0.25 x Qc x P1 x T0)/(fmax x ΔP x T1), with
V = volume of the air net in l
Qc = free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
P1 = compressor air inlet pressure in bar(a)
fmax = maximum cycle frequency (recommended: 1 cycle/30s)
ΔP = difference between unloading pressure and loading pressure in bar
T1 = compressor air inlet temperature in K
T0 = air receiver temperature in K

76 2920 7140 34
Instruction book

8 Bypass system to bypass the dryer during service operations (available as an option, consult
Atlas Copco).
11 Safety valve
To prevent feedback of exhaust air into the cooling inlet, sufficient space should be foreseen
above the unit to evacuate the exhaust air. Otherwise a duct for the exhaust air should be
installed. See alternatives 1 up to 4.
When a duct is foreseen on the air inlet, the ambient temperature sensor need to be repositioned
in such a way that the inlet temperature is monitored.

Safety

The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this
book.

Outdoor/altitude operation
Fix speed compressors can be sold with option rain protection. With this option, this compressor
can be installed outside under a shelter, in frost free conditions. If frost might occur, the
appropriate measures should be taken to avoid damage to the machine and its ancillary
equipment. In this case, and also if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft), consult Atlas Copco.

Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care not to
damage the bodywork during lifting or transport. Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing
bolts. Make sure that the forks protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can
also be lifted after inserting beams in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that
they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain
spreaders in order not to damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such
a way that the compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.

In case of units equipped with the Lifting Device Option, it is not allowed to lift the
compressor if the canopy parts or lifting supports are not completely installed. When the
compressor is being lifted, it is also forbidden to come under the load or to perform
maintenance activities to it.

6.3 Electrical connections

Important remark

To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components from
dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when connecting the

10.2 Electric cable size and fuses

Important

• The voltage on the compressor terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage.
It is however highly recommended to keep the voltage drop over the supply cables
at nominal current below 5% of the nominal voltage (IEC 60204-1).
• If cables are grouped together with other power cables, it may be necessary to use
cables of a larger size than those calculated for the standard operating conditions.
• Use the original cable entry. See section Dimension drawing.
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its
components from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper
cable gland when connecting the supply cable to the compressor.
• Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values proposed
below.
• Currents are calculated with the full service factor but we suggest to add 10% due
to over- and under-voltage.
Fuses are maximum allowed values calculated for full service factor and 10%
over- and under-voltage.
• Caution:
• Always double-check the fuse size versus the calculated cable size. If
required, reduce fuse size or enlarge cable size.
• Cable length should not exceed the maximum length according to IEC60204

Calculation method for IEC:


• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF from the tables)
• Install the prescribed fuse on each cable
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF from the tables) and divide
by 2
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))

Instruction book

• Install fuses of half the size of the recommended maximum fuse size on each cable.
• When using 2 x 3 phases + PE as in (3):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF from the tables) and divide
by √3
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))
• Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on each cable.
• Size of the PE cable:
• For supply cables up to 35 mm²: same size as supply cables
• For supply cables larger than 35 mm²: half the size of the supply wires
Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5 % of the nominal voltage is
recommended).
Example: Itot = 89 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 100 A
• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• I = 89 A + 10 % = 89 x 1.1 = 97.9 A
• The table for B2 and ambient temperature = 45 ° C allows a maximum current of 93 A
for a 50 mm² cable. For a cable of 70 mm², the maximum allowed current is 118 A,
which is sufficient. Therefore, use a 3 x 70 mm² + 35 mm² cable.
If method C is used, 50 mm² is suffficient. (35 mm² for method F) => cable 3 x 50 mm²
+ 25 mm².
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• I = (89 A + 10 %)/2 = (89 x 1.1)/2 = 49 A
• For a cable of 25 mm², B2 at 45 °C, the maximum current is 63 A x 0.8 = 50.4 A. So 2
parallel cables of 3 x 25 mm² + 25 mm² are sufficient.
• Install 50 A fuses on each cable instead of 100 A.
