Cable selection and unit installation in accordance with the UL standards
To meet the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) regulations, use a UL-approved copper cable with a minimum
heat-resistance of +140/167 F (+60/75 C). Use Class 1 wire only.
The units are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000 rms symmetrical
amperes, 600V maximum.
The tightening torques of the terminals are given in Table 6-7.
* Tightening torque of terminal connection to
the isolative base in Nm/in-lbs.
** Apply counter torque to the nut on the other
side of the terminal when tightening/loosening
the terminal screw in order to avoid damage to
the terminal.

Cable and motor insulation checks
1. Motor cable insulation checks
Disconnect the motor cable from terminals U, V and W of the AC drive and from the motor. Measure the
insulation resistance of the motor cable between each phase conductor as well as between each phase
conductor and the protective ground conductor. The insulation resistance must be >1M .
2. Mains cable insulation checks
Disconnect the mains cable from terminals L1, L2 and L3 of the AC drive and from the mains. Measure
the insulation resistance of the mains cable between each phase conductor as well as between each
phase conductor and the protective ground conductor. The insulation resistance must be >1M .
3. Motor insulation checks
Disconnect the motor cable from the motor and open the bridging connections in the motor connection
box. Measure the insulation resistance of each motor winding. The measurement voltage must equal at
least the motor nominal voltage but not exceed 1000 V. The insulation resistance must be >1M .
