Electrical Installation
IMPORTANT: Do not drill holes in the drive.
1.
Mount the drive using all three keyhole slots on the top side of the enclosure.
IMPORTANT: At least two keyhole screws at the top must attach to a solid structure such as a stud or
brace.
2. Secure the three additional mounting holes on the bottom.
IMPORTANT: All six screw hole locations should be used to ensure the drive is securely mounted.

Wiring Guidelines
Risk of damage to VFD
•
Follow all wire routing and grounding instructions carefully. Inductive currents caused by parallel wiring, or
close proximity between high voltage and control wiring can cause unexpected behaviors.
•
Do not run input power and motor wires in the same conduit.
•
Do not run motor wires from multiple VFDs in common conduit.
•
Do not run control wiring parallel with high voltage wiring.
•
Do not run VFD wiring parallel with building or facility wiring.
•
Do not use aluminum wires for VFD connections.
•
Do not run any wiring through the airflow channel in the back of the drive.
•
Do not install a magnetic contactor or disconnect in the motor circuit.
•
Do not use with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
•
Do not leave wire fragments, metal shavings or other metal objects inside the VFD.
•
Improper splicing or damage to motor cable insulation may expose the conductor(s) to moisture and can pro-
duce motor cable failure.
•
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.
Refer to the owner's manual for more detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: All control wiring—sensors, switches, transducers, etc.—should be in a separate conduit
routed individually, not parallel, from high voltage wiring. In addition, any shielded cables should be prop-
erly grounded.
1.
Mount the drive as close as possible to the service entrance panel. Wire directly to the service entrance.
Do not connect to a sub-panel.
2. Use a dedicated branch circuit for the drive.
3. Route motor wiring out of building as soon as possible to reduce the chance of EMI or electrical inter-
ference on the motor cables. Separate input power and motor wiring by at least 8 inches (20.3 cm).
4. Cross over other branch circuits and facility wiring at a 90 angle. If it is necessary to run wiring in par-
allel, separate by at least 8 in. (20.3 cm).
Branch Circuit Protection
Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protec-
tion must be provided in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any additional local codes,
or the equivalent. The VFD shall be protected by fast-acting Class T fuses only, rated 100 A maximum.
Drives rated 230 VAC are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000 RMS maxi-
mum symmetrical amperes, 230 volts or equivalent.
Drives rated 460 VAC are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000 RMS maxi-
mum symmetrical amperes, 460 volts or equivalent.
NOTE: Refer to the owner's manual for complete information about proper wire and fuse sizing.
