ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
High Voltage Wiring Connections
Power Circuit and Motor Connections
Drive is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5kA at 250 volts maximum.
Verify that the dedicated branch circuit for the drive is equipped with a properly-sized circuit breaker. Refer
to
"Fuse/Circuit Breaker and Wire Sizing" on page 17
Verify that the power has been shut off at the main breaker. Follow Lockout-Tagout procedures.
1.
Feed the motor leads through the opening on the bottom right side of the drive and connect them to
the terminal block positions marked
2. Feed the input power leads through the larger opening on the bottom left side of the drive. Connect
single-phase 230 V wires to L1, L2, and
These connectors accept wire sizes from 6 to 20 AWG and should be tightened to 15 in-lbs (1.7 Nm).
6AWG is the maximum wire size the drive can physically accept. An external junction box is required if using
larger wire (i.e. you can use 4AWG or bigger cable out to the motor, but you will have to junction and splice
this to 6AWG or smaller before entering the drive enclosure).
Risk of damage to drive
•
For retrofit application, make sure to check the integrity of power and motor leads. This requires
measuring the insulation resistance with a suitable megohm-meter.
