Grounding and Powering the System
The chassis must be connected to earth ground. Failure to properly ground the chassis
leaves the potential for severe electrical hazard and/or problems with normal opera-
tion.
The SD17060E must be grounded for proper operation. The
GND
connection on the power connector is con-
nected to the SD17060E enclosure and is a sufficient grounding point for most applications. When mounted
the SD17060E on a surface that is electrically conductive and grounded, you should also take steps to ensure
that the two are electrically bonded together. If necessary, remove paint for the bolt mounting surfaces of the
panel to ensure adequate electrical bonding.
AC power connections are made to the SD17060E using the power connector kit that ships with the drive.
This kit includes the power connector and rubber boot. Figure 4.1 below shows how to properly wire and
ground the drive.
For clarity, the rubber boot is not shown in the figure. When installing the power cable, slide
the rubber boot onto the cable before wiring the connector. When you’re sure the wiring is
correct, slide the boot over the connector to cover the screw heads.
Figure 4.1 Power and Grounding Connections
1) Input power must be 95 to 132 Vac, 50/60 HZ, and able to supply 800VA for proper opera-
tion.
2) Never attempt to power the drive with 230Vac. Doing so will damage the drive and void its
warranty. You have two options if your installation only has 230 Vac:
a) Install a step down transformer to power the SD17060E. The transformer must be
rated for a minimum of 800VA.
b) Consider using one of the 230Vac input drives available from AMCI. Further infor-
mation on these drives can be found on our website, www.amci.com.
Both the Neutral and the Line power connections are internally fused in the SD17060E. External fuses or cir-
cuit breakers can also be used. They must be rated for at least 10 amps.
