Installation
3.1 Circuit Protection
Wire size and fusing should be based on local electrical codes at each installation. The drives are supplied
from the factory with line fuses sized to allow use at the maximum horsepower rating. Wiring should be
based on this rating unless the fuse sizes are reduced per the actual horsepower of the motor in use.
Input requirements with recommended fuse size and type per horsepower are listed in the following
tables.
Control Model RCP202
HP Input Voltage Input A.C. Current @ F.L. Recommended Fuse
1/4 115 VAC 4.3 AMPS 5 AMP, TRM
1/2 115 VAC 7.9 AMPS 8 AMP, TRM
3/4 115 VAC 11.7 AMPS 15 AMP, TRM
1 115 VAC 15.0 AMPS 20 AMP, TRM
1/2 230 VAC 4.3 AMPS 5 AMP, TRM
1 230 VAC 7.9 AMPS 8 AMP, TRM
1 1/2 230 VAC 12.2 AMPS 15 AMP, TRM
2 230 VAC 15.0 AMPS 20 AMP, TRM
NOTE: Fuses shown are manufactured by Gould. Littelfuse type FLM may be used as a substitute.
Control Model RCP205
HP Input Voltage Input A.C. Current @ F.L. Recommended Fuse
3 230 VAC 22 AMPS 35 AMP, SC
5 230 VAC 34 AMPS 40 AMP, SC
NOTE: Fuses shown are manufactured by Bussman. Littelfuse type SLC may be substituted.
3.2 Connection Information
Refer to the RCP200 Series connection Diagram C10217 in section 6.
Wiring Precautions
•
WARNING! Although the RCP200 Series Control Circuits are isolated, high voltage potentials can
be present between earth or chassis ground and any point in the circuit (depending on external
control circuit connections). All test instruments should be isolated from ground to prevent
damage to the instrument or control.
•
Grounding the control is not required. When used, ground wires should connect only to the
heatsink under one of the mounting screws.
