266 ACS550 User’s Manual
Technical data
Size wiring according to local safety regulations, appropriate input voltage and the
drive’s load current. In any case, the conductor must be less than the maximum limit
defined by the terminal size (see section
Drive’s power connection terminals on page
268 ).
The table below lists copper and aluminium cable types for different load currents.
These recommendations apply only for the conditions listed at the top of the table.
Ground connections
For personnel safety, proper operation and reduction of electromagnetic emission/
pick-up, the drive and the motor must be grounded at the installation site.
• Conductors must be adequately sized as required by safety regulations.
• Power cable shields must be connected to the drive PE terminal in order to meet
safety regulations.
