Power Wiring Connections

Contact with hazardous voltage could result in death or serious injury.
• Disconnect and lock out all power before installing or servicing equipment.
• Make sure that all DC bus capacitor voltage has dissipated for several minutes after VFD power is dis-
connected before working on wiring.
• Connect the motor, the drive, metal plumbing, and all other metal near the motor or cable to the
power supply ground terminal using wire no smaller than motor cable wires.
• Close any open conduit holes before finishing installation.
• All wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code and local codes.

Ground Connections

Risk of damage to drive
• Ensure that the system is properly grounded all the way to the service entrance panel. Improper
grounding may result in loss of voltage surge protection.
• Nonmetallic enclosure does not provide grounding between conduit connections. When using
metal conduit, install Listed grounding bushings and Listed No. 10 AWG minimum wires per national
and local codes.
• When installing rigid metal conduit, connect conduit to hub BEFORE hub is connected to drive
enclosure.
