Protective earth (PE) connection
The protective earth (PE) connection is required for safety and should always be connected to a low impedance earth point. PE wire section should be, at least, the
same as power supply cables.
Always minimize PE connection length. Having a central earth connection point is a good practice to avoid ground loops. Always use good quality plated screws that
won’t oxidize or lose conductivity during the expected lifetime. Whenever possible, mount the Jupiter Servo Drive on a metallic conductive surface connected to
earth. Note that the PE terminal is internally connected with the Jupiter Servo Drive standoffs.
High current wiring recommendations
Wire section
The minimum wire section is determined by the supply and motor current. It is preferred to use wide section stranded wires to reduce impedance, power losses and
ease the assembly. Insulator size should not exceed 6.35 mm (connector pitch). Following table indicates recommended section:

Wire ferrules
It is recommended to use wire ferrules to prevent cable damage or wrong contacts. Ensure crimped ferrule diameter does not exceed 2.5 mm and the insulator is <
5 mm. Following are some suggested ferrules:
