4.0 Installation Guidelines 

Warning 

Be sure to read, understand, and follow all safety instructions provided in this manual prior to 

beginning work. 

Warning 

Dangerous Voltage is used in the operation of the MotorShield™. Only qualified electricians 

should carry out all electrical installation and maintenance work on the MotorShield™. 

Warning 

All wiring must be performed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or 

any other codes that apply to the installation site. 

 

Wiring 

Typical wiring diagrams for filters mounted in UL Type 1 / 3R enclosures can be found in Figure 

6. 

Before Connecting 

Always consult the drive manufacturer’s safety, installation and operation instructions prior to 

connecting the MotorShield

 to the drive.  

 

Warning 

Avoid contact with line voltage when checking for power. 
Failure to follow the safety instructions set forth in this manual can result in serious injury or 

death. 

Warning 

Exercise caution when connecting the filter to the drive. Internal filter components may carry 

dangerous voltage which can cause death or serious injury upon contact.  

 

Over Temperature Switch 

A set of over temperature switches is supplied to prevent damage to the filter in the rare case of 

overheating due to abnormal conditions. One switch measures capacitor case temperature, the 

other switch measures reactor core temperature.
