.

Important: Common mode capacitors are used to conform with the EMC 

directives. Removing these devices may withdraw the associated 
directive.

!

ATTENTION:  Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable 
frequency AC drives and associated machinery should perform 
maintenance/repair of the system. Failure to comply may result in 
personal injury and/or equipment damage.

!

ATTENTION:  To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the 
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before performing any 
work on the drive. Measure the DC bus voltage at the following 
points (refer to the User Manual for locations):

+DC terminal of the Power Terminal Block and the -DC test point 
(Frames A…D) or the -DC terminal of the Power Terminal Block 
(Frame E)

+DC terminal of the Power Terminal Block and the chassis

-DC test point (Frames A…D) or the -DC terminal of the Power 
Terminal Block (Frame E) and the chassis

The voltage must be zero for all three measurements.

ATTENTION:  The following information is merely a guide for 
proper installation. Rockwell Automation cannot assume 
responsibility for the compliance or the noncompliance to any code, 
national, local or otherwise for the proper installation of this drive or 
associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment 
damage exists if codes are ignored during installation.

Power Source Type

(1)

It is highly recommended to accurately determine the power source type and then configure appropriately.

MOV/Input 
Filter Caps

(2)

When MOVs are disconnected, the power system must have its own transient protection to ensure known and 
controlled voltages.
