Wiring the Drive
• Conduit entry
– All wiring enters the bottom of drive
– Knock-outs are provided on many drives
– Larger drives have a removable conduit entry or
gland plate
General Practices
Most smaller drives have knock-outs for conduit entry. Larger drives provide a removable
conduit entry plate. It is important to remove this plate before drilling or punching it.
When a drive is supplied with an auxiliary enclosure, it generally is necessary to drill or
punch conduit entry holes in the auxiliary enclosure. It is important to ensure that metal chips
or filings don't get into any of the devices which are housed in the auxiliary enclosure.
