NOTE: The circuit breaker protects the drive and is chosen independ-
ently of the motor connected to the drive.
Wiring
To allow for ease of wiring, the wiring area is free of elec-
tronics other than the terminals. Conduit holes and knock-
outs are located so that the wire can be fed straight
through to the connectors, with minimal bending. The ter-
minals accept 6-14 AWG wire.
NOTE: For convenience in wiring, the input and motor ter-
minals unplug from the box. Pull them down to remove
them for ease of access. See Figure 4.
BE SURE that when you replace them, they are completely
pushed in and seated.
Note: The best practice is to connect all output wires first
and all input wires last.
Figure 4: Pull the input and motor terminals down
to unplug them for ease of wiring.

Output Connections (See Figure 5, Page 7):
See Tables 5 and 6, Page 15, for correct wires sizes, VFD
to motor.
If the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE is used with above ground
motors not rated for VFD use, limit lead length to 25 ft. for
maximum motor life. Refer to the pump owner's manual
and the National Electrical Code for proper wire size.
The output of PID-1 Series drives is 230V three phase
power.
The output of PID-6 Series drives is 230V single phase
power.
NOTE: PID-1 series drives will not operate single phase
motors. PID-6 series drives will not operate three phase
motors.
The output power terminals (motor wire connections) are
located on the lower right side of the drive and are labeled
R (Red), Y (Yellow), and B (Black). Feed the motor cable
through the 3/4" conduit hole on the bottom right side and
into the appropriate terminals. If the wire is large enough
to require a larger conduit hole, remove the 1-1/4" knock-
out and use the appropriate conduit connections. Attach
the motor ground wire to the grounding lug, located to the
upper right of the terminal block. Attach the motor power
wires to the terminals as shown in Figure 5, Page 7.
