4.3 Grounding the Drive
DANGER
THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING WITH ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND
INTERNATIONAL CODES. WIRING PRACTICES, GROUNDING, DISCONNECTS, AND
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION ARE OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
Use the following steps to ground the drive:
Step 1. Remove the drive's cover.
Step 2. Run a suitable equipment grounding conductor unbroken from the drive's ground terminal
to the motor's ground terminal and then to earth ground. See figures 4.1 to 4.6, 5.1, and
5.2.
Step 3. Connect a suitable grounding conductor to the motor frame, the remote control station (if
used), and the transformer. Run each conductor
unbroken
to earth ground.
Note that to conform with CSA requirements, when adding more than one grounding
conductor wire to a single chassis ground, twist the conductors together.
Step 4. Reattach the drive's cover.
