Preface
General Precautions
ATT EN TI ON : To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the
bus capacitors has discharged before performing any work on the drive.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the –DC and +DC terminals or at the –DC and
P2 terminals on the Power Terminal Block (refer to Chapter 1
Power Terminal
descriptions). The voltage must be zero.
A darkened LCD display and LEDs is not an indication that capacitors have
discharged to safe voltage levels.
ATT EN TI ON : Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency AC
drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation,
start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATT EN TI ON : This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts
and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when installing,
testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result
if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static
control procedures, reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against
Electrostatic Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATT EN TI ON : An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application
errors, such as, undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or
excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATT EN TI ON : The bus regulator function is extremely useful for preventing
nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive decelerations,
overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. However, it can also cause either of
the following two conditions to occur.
1. Fast positive changes in input voltage or imbalanced input voltages can cause
uncommanded positive speed changes;
2. Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded deceleration times
However, a “Stall Fault” is generated if the drive remains in this state for 1
minute. If this condition is unacceptable, the bus regulator must be disabled
(see parameter A187
).

General Grounding
Requirements
The drive Safety Ground - (PE) must be connected to system ground.
Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local
industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground
connections should be periodically checked.
Figure 7 - Typical Grounding
Rockwell Automation Publication 22C-UM001J-EN-E - January 201719
Chapter 1Installation/Wiring
Ground Fault Monitoring
If a system ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B (adjustable)
devices should be used to avoid nuisance tripping.
Safety Ground - (PE)
This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these
points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor
ground rod or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national and local
industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes.
Motor Ground
The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the
drive.
Shield Termination - SHLD
Either of the safety ground terminals located on the power terminal block
provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor cable shield
connected to one of these terminals (drive end) should also be connected to
the motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to
connect the shield to the safety ground terminal. The conduit box may be used
with a cable clamp for a grounding point for the cable shield.
When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield should
be grounded at the source end only, not at the drive end.
RFI Filter Grounding
Using an external filter with any drive rating, may result in relatively high
ground leakage currents. Therefore, the filter must only be used in
installations with grounded AC supply systems and be permanently
installed and solidly grounded (bonded) to the building power distribution
ground. Ensure that the incoming supply neutral is solidly connected (bonded)
to the same building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on
flexible cables and should not include any form of plug or socket that would
permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes may require redundant
ground connections. The integrity of all connections should be periodically
checked.

ATT EN TI ON : National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.) and local
codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment.
Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire types, conductor
sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATT EN TI ON : To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by induced voltages,
unused wires in the conduit must be grounded at both ends. For the same
reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or installed, all drives
using this conduit should be disabled. This will help minimize the possible
shock hazard from “cross coupled” power leads.
22Rockwell Automation Publication 22C-UM001J-EN-E - January 2017
Installation/WiringChapter 1
Motor Cable Types Acceptable for 200...600 Volt Installations
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many
installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be separated from
sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3 meters (1
foot) for every 10 meters (32.8 feet) of length. In all cases, long parallel runs
must be avoided. Do not use cable with an insulation thickness less than 15
mils (0.4 mm/0.015 in.). Do not route more than three sets of motor leads in a
single conduit to minimize “cross talk”. If more than three drive/motor
connections per conduit are required, shielded cable must be used.
UL installations must use 600V, 75°C or 90°C wire.
Use copper wire only.
Unshielded
THHN, THWN or similar wire is acceptable for drive installation in dry
environments provided adequate free air space and/or conduit fill rates limits
are provided. Do not use THHN or similarly coated wire in wet areas. Any
wire chosen must have a minimum insulation thickness of 15 mils and should
not have large variations in insulation concentricity.
Shielded/Armored Cable
Shielded cable contains all of the general benefits of multi-conductor cable
with the added benefit of a copper braided shield that can contain much of the
noise generated by a typical AC Drive. Strong consideration for shielded cable
should be given in installations with sensitive equipment such as weigh scales,
capacitive proximity switches and other devices that may be affected by
electrical noise in the distribution system. Applications with large numbers of
drives in a similar location, imposed EMC regulations or a high degree of
communications /networking are also good candidates for shielded cable.
Shielded cable may also help reduce shaft voltage and induced bearing currents
for some applications. In addition, the increased impedance of shielded cable
may help extend the distance that the motor can be located from the drive
without the addition of motor protective devices such as terminator networks.
Refer to Reflected Wave in “Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for PWM AC
Drives,” publication DRIVES-IN001A-EN-P
Consideration should be given to all of the general specifications dictated by
the environment of the installation, including temperature, flexibility, moisture
characteristics and chemical resistance. In addition, a braided shield should be
included and be specified by the cable manufacturer as having coverage of at
least 75%. An additional foil shield can greatly improve noise containment.
.
A good example of recommended cable is Belden® 295xx (xx determines
gauge). This cable has four (4) XLPE insulated conductors with a 100%
coverage foil and an 85% coverage copper braided shield (with drain wire)
surrounded by a PVC jacket.
Rockwell Automation Publication 22C-UM001J-EN-E - January 201723
Chapter 1Installation/Wiring
Other types of shielded cable are available, but the selection of these types may
limit the allowable cable length. Particularly, some of the newer cables twist 4
conductors of THHN wire and wrap them tightly with a foil shield. This
construction can greatly increase the cable charging current required and
reduce the overall drive performance. Unless specified in the individual
distance tables as tested with the drive, these cables are not recommended and
their performance against the lead length limits supplied is not known.

Reflected Wave Protection
The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible. Installations
with long motor cables may require the addition of external devices to limit
voltage reflections at the motor (reflected wave phenomena). See Ta b l e 4
for
recommendations.
The reflected wave data applies to all frequencies 2 to 10 kHz.
For 240V ratings, reflected wave effects do not need to be considered.

(1) Longer cable lengths can be achieved by installing devices on the output of the drive. Consult factory for recommendations.

Output Disconnect
The drive is intended to be commanded by control input signals that will start
and stop the motor. A device that routinely disconnects then reapplies output
power to the motor for the purpose of starting and stopping the motor should

Power Terminal Block
Frame C, D, F, G and H drives utilize a finger guard over the power wiring
terminals. Replace the finger guard when wiring is complete.

I/O Wiring Recommendations
Motor Start/Stop Precautions
ATT EN TI ON : A contactor or other device that routinely disconnects and
reapplies the AC line to the drive to start and stop the motor can cause drive
hardware damage. The drive is designed to use control input signals that will
start and stop the motor. If used, the input device must not exceed one
operation per minute or drive damage can occur.
ATT EN TI ON : The drive start/stop control circuitry includes solid-state
components. If hazards due to accidental contact with moving machinery or
unintentional flow of liquid, gas or solids exist, an additional hardwired stop
circuit may b e require d to remove the AC line to the drive. When the AC line is
removed, there will be a loss of any inherent regenerative braking effect that
might be present - the motor will coast to a stop. An auxiliary braking
method may be required.
Important points to remember about I/O wiring:
• Always use copper wire.
• Wire with an insulation rating of 600V or greater is recommended.
• Control and signal wires should be separated from power wires by at
least 0.3 meters (1 foot).
•
ATT EN TI ON : Driving the 4-20 mA analog input from a voltage source could
cause component damage. Verify proper configuration prior to applying
input signals.
