Motor Lead Length
The standard drive can operate a motor with a maximum of 600 feet of properly sized cable between the “T” leads
of the drive and those of the motor. For wire runs greater than 600 feet contact Benshaw Inc. for application assis
tance.
Input Line Requirements
The standard drive can operate with a maximum of 300 feet of properly sized cable between the converter and the
inverter.
For wire runs greater than 300 feet, contact Benshaw for application assistance.
DC Lead Length Between Converter and Inverter
The converter and inverter can be located separate from each other. However, the maximum separation distance is
limited by the voltage drop of the wiring. The wire gauge must be chosen to minimize voltage drop. The wiring should com-
ply with all local electrical codes, as stated on previous page. Consult Benshaw for more information.
