A gray background indicates wire sizes that are larger than the maximum wire rating of the terminal
blocks. An external junction box is required to splice the cables.
NOTE: 460 VAC models used with submersible induction motors with output motor cable lengths ex-
ceeding 1,000 ft require an additional load reactor or sine filter to be installed between the drive output
and the motor. The load reactor or sine filter should be rated for 3% voltage drop in 460 VAC applica-
tions and have a maximum amp rating suitable for the maximum output amp rating of the drive.
NOTE: Drive models used with submersible FE MagForce motors with output cable lengths exceeding
1,000 ft require an additional output sine filter to be installed between the drive output and the motor.
The sine filter should be rated for 3% voltage drop in 460 VAC applications and have a maximum output
amp rating of the drive. For order information, refer to
