Q9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual 5
Conductor Routing and Grounding
• Use separate metal conduits for routing the input power, output power, and control circuits.
• A separate ground cable should be run inside the conduit with the input power, output power, and
control circuits.
• DO NOT connect CC to earth ground.
• Use IICC terminal as the return for the V/I (VI/II) input.
• Always ground the ASD to prevent electrical shock and to help reduce electrical noise.
• It is the responsibility of the ASD installer/maintenance personnel to provide proper grounding and
branch circuit protection in accordance with the 2008 NEC and any applicable local codes.

Grounding Capacitor Switch
The ASD is equipped with leak reduction capacitors which are used to reduce the EMI leakage via the
3-phase power-input circuit and for compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(EMC).
The effective value of the capacitor may be increased, reduced, or removed entirely via the Selector
Switch, Switching Bar, or the Switching Screw — the type used is typeform-specific.
The Grounding Capacitor Switch allows the user to quickly change the value of the leakage-reduction
capacitance of the 3-phase input circuit without the use of any tools.
See the section titled Power Connection Requirements on pg. 15 for more on the Grounding Capacitor .
See figures 4 , 5 , 6 , and 7 on pg. 17 for an electrical depiction of the leakage-reduction functionality of
the Grounding Capacitor and the methods used to set the capacitance value.
