IMPORTANT The drive and filter (if fitted) must be permanently earthed . Each conductor used for
permanent earthing must individually meet the requirements for a protective earth
conductor.
For installations to EN 60204 in Europe:
•
For permanent earthing, the drive requires either two individual incoming protective earth conductors (<10mm ²
cross-section), or one conductor ( 10mm ² cross-section) connected to an independent protective earth/ground
point near the drive.
•
Run the motor protective earth/ground connection in parallel with the motor supply conductors, ideally in the
same conduit/screen/armour, and connect to an independent protective earth/ground point near the drive.
Refer to Appendix B: “Certification” - EMC General Installation Considerations.
Caution
On the Frame 5, both the Master and Slave drives must be individually earthed.
