What follows is noise prevention measures for the inverter drive configuration.
(1) Wiring and grounding
As shown in Figure A.7, separate the main circuit wiring from control circuit wiring as far as
possible regardless of being located inside or outside the system control panel containing an inverter.
Use shielded wires and twisted shielded wires that will block out extraneous noises, and minimize
the wiring distance. Also avoid bundled wiring of the main circuit and control circuit or parallel
wiring.
Figure A.7 Separate Wiring
For the main circuit wiring, use a metal conduit pipe and connect its wires to the ground to prevent
noise propagation (refer to Figure A.8).
The shield (braided wire) of a shielded wire should be securely connected to the base (common) side
of the signal line at only one point to avoid the loop formation resulting from a multi-point
connection (refer to Figure A.9).
The grounding is effective not only to reduce the risk of electrical shocks due to leakage current, but
also to block noise penetration and radiation. Corresponding to the main circuit voltage, the
grounding work should be Class D (300 VAC or less, grounding resistance: 100
Ω
or less) and Class
C (300 to 600 VAC, grounding resistance: 10
Ω
or less). Each ground wire is to be provided with its
own ground or separately wired to a grounding point.

(2) Control panel
The system control panel containing an inverter is generally made of metal, which can shield noise
radiated from the inverter itself.
When installing other electronic devices such as a programmable logic controller in the same control
panel, be careful with the layout of each device. If necessary, arrange shield plates between the
inverter and peripheral devices.
