1-4 Installation/Wiring
Input Power Conditioning
The drive is suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated
voltage of the drive (see
Appendix A ). Listed in Table 1.C are certain
input power conditions which may cause component damage or
reduction in product life. If any of the conditions exist, as described in
Table 1.C , install one of the devices listed under the heading Corrective
Action on the line side of the drive.
Important: Only one device per branch circuit is required. It should be
mounted closest to the branch and sized to handle the total
current of the branch circuit.
Table 1.C Input Power Conditions
The drive Safety Ground - (PE) must be connected to system ground.
Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and
local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity
of all ground connections should be periodically checked.
