Main Circuit Wiring
This section describes the functions, specifications, and procedures required to safely and
properly wire the main circuit of the drive.
NOTICE: Do not solder the ends of wire connections to the drive. Soldered wiring connections can loosen
over time. Improper wiring practices could result in drive malfunction due to loose terminal connections.

R/L1
Main circuit power
supply input
Connects line power to the drive.
Drives with single-phase 200 V input power use terminals R/
L1 and S/L2 only.
T/L3 must not be used.

Wire gauge recommendations based on drive continuous current ratings using 75 °C 600 Vac vinyl-
sheathed wire assuming ambient temperature within 30 °C and wiring distance shorter than 100 m.

, B1 and B2 are for connecting optional devices such as a braking resistor. Do
not connect other non-specified devices to these terminals.
• Consider the amount of voltage drop when selecting wire gauges. Increase the wire gauge
when the voltage drop is greater than 2% of motor rated voltage. Ensure the wire gauge is
suitable for the terminal block. Use the following formula to calculate the amount of voltage
drop:
• Line drop voltage (V) = 3 x wire resistance (Ω/km) x wire length (m) x current (A) x 10
-3
• Refer to instruction manual TOBP C720600 00 for braking unit or braking resistor unit
wire gauges.
