OverviewIf you are an experienced user of Baldor controls, you are probably already familiar with
the keypad programming and keypad operation methods. If so, this quick start guide has
been prepared for you. This procedure will help get your system up and running in the
keypad mode quickly and will allow motor and control operation to be verified. This
procedure assumes that the Control, Motor and Dynamic Brake hardware are correctly
installed (see Section 3 for procedures) and that you have an understanding of the
keypad programming & operation procedures. It is not necessary to wire the terminal
strip to operate in the Keypad mode (Section 3 describes terminal strip wiring
procedures). The quick start procedure is as follows:
1.Read the Safety Notice and Precautions in section 2 of this manual.
2.Mount the control. Refer to Section 3, “Physical Location” procedure.
3.Connect AC power. Refer to Section 3 “AC Line Connections”.
4.Connect the motor. Refer to Section 3, “Motor Connections”.
5.Install Dynamic brake hardware, if required. Refer to Section 3,
“Optional Dynamic Brake Hardware”.
6.Plug in the keypad. Refer to Section 3, “Keypad Installation” procedure.
Quick Start ChecklistCheck of electrical items.
1.Verify AC line voltage at source matches control rating.
2.Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness as well
as compliance to codes.
3.Verify control and motor are grounded to each other and the control is
connected to earth ground.
4.Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5.Be certain all brake coils, contactors and relay coils have noise suppression.
This should be an R-C filter for AC coils and reverse polarity diodes for DC

Section 2
General Information
OverviewThe Baldor Series 15H control is a PWM inverter motor control. The control converts AC
line power to fixed DC power. The DC power is then pulse width modulated into
synthesized three-phase AC line voltage for the motor. In this way, the control converts
the fixed input frequency to variable output frequency to cause the motor to have variable
speed operation.
The rated horsepower of the control is based on a NEMA design B four pole motor and
60Hz operation at nominal rated input voltage. If any other type of motor is used, or input
voltage other than 230, 460 or 575 VAC is applied to the input terminals, the control
should be sized to the motor using the rated current of the motor.
The Baldor Series 15H control may be used in many different applications. It may be
programmed by the user to operate in four different operating zones; standard constant
torque, standard variable torque, quiet constant torque or quiet variable torque. It can
also be configured to function in a number of operating modes for custom operation.
It is the responsibility of the user to determine the optimum operating zone and operating
mode for the application. These choices are programmed using the keypad as explained
in the programming section of this manual.
CE ComplianceA custom unit may be required, contact Baldor. Compliance to Directive 89/336/EEC is
the responsibility of the system integrator. A control, motor and all system components
must have proper shielding grounding and filtering as described in MN1383. Please refer
to MN1383 for installation techniques for CE compliance.

Receiving & InspectionWhen you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately.
1.Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.
2.Verify that the control you received is the same as listed on your purchase
order.
3.If the control is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is
stored in a location that conforms to published storage specifications. (Refer to
Section 6 of this manual).
Physical InstallationThe mounting location of the control is important. It should be installed in an area that is
protected from direct sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic
particles, and vibration.
Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for
installation:
1.For effective cooling and maintenance, the control should be mounted on a
smooth, non-flammable vertical surface. Table 3-1 lists the Watts Loss ratings
for enclosure sizing.
2.At least two inches clearance must be provided on all sides for airflow.
3.Front access must be provided to allow the control cover to be opened or
removed for service and to allow viewing of the Keypad Display.
4.Altitude derating. Up to 3300 feet (1000 meters), no derating required. Above
3300 feet, derate peak output current by 2% for each 1000 feet above 3300
feet.
5.Temperature derating. Up to 40°C, no derating required. Above 40°C, derate
peak output current by 2% per °C above 40°C.
Maximum ambient is 55°C.
Control InstallationThe control must be securely fastened to the mounting surface at the mounting holes.

Section 1General Information
Electrical InstallationTo make electrical connections, use UL listed closed loop connectors that are of
appropriate size for wire gauge being used. Connectors are to be installed using crimp
tool specified by the manufacturer of the connector. Only Class 1 wiring should be used.
Baldor Series H controls feature UL approved adjustable motor overload protection
suitable for motors rated at no less than 50% of the output rating of the control. Other
governing agencies such as NEC may require separate over-current protection. The
installer of this equipment is responsible for complying with the National Electric Code
and any applicable local codes which govern such practices as wiring protection,
grounding, disconnects and other current protection.
System GroundingBaldor Controls are designed to be powered from standard three phase lines that are
electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. System grounding is an important step in
the overall installation to prevent problems. The recommended grounding method is
shown in Figure 3-1.

Section 1General Information
System Grounding Continued
Ungrounded Distribution System
With an ungrounded power distribution system it is possible to have a continuous current
path to ground through the MOV devices. To avoid equipment damage, an isolation
transformer with a grounded secondary is recommended. This provides three phase AC
power that is symmetrical with respect to ground.
Input Power Conditioning
Baldor controls are designed for direct connection to standard three phase lines that are
electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. Certain power line conditions must be
avoided. An AC line reactor or an isolation transformer may be required for some power
conditions.
If the feeder or branch circuit that provides power to the control has
permanently connected power factor correction capacitors, an input AC line
reactor or an isolation transformer must be connected between the power factor
correction capacitors and the control.
If the feeder or branch circuit that provides power to the control has power
factor correction capacitors that are switched on line and off line, the capacitors
must not be switched while the control is connected to the AC power line. If the
capacitors are switched on line while the control is still connected to the AC
power line, additional protection is required. TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge
Suppressor) of the proper rating must be installed between the AC line reactor
or an isolation transformer and the AC input to the control.
Line ImpedanceThe Baldor control requires a minimum line impedance. If the impedance of the incoming
power does not meet the requirement for the control, a 3 phase line reactor can be used
to provide the needed impedance in most cases. Line reactors are optional and are
available from Baldor.
Control SizeA, B, C, D, EB2, C2, D2, F, G, G2, G+, H
Line Impedance Required3%1%
The input impedance of the power lines can be determined as follows:
Measure the line to line voltage at no load and at full rated load.
Use these measured values to calculate impedance as follows:

Load ReactorsLine reactors may be used at the control output to the motor. When used this way, they
are called Load Reactors. Load reactors serve several functions that include:
Protect the control from a short circuit at the motor.
Limit the rate of rise of motor surge currents.
Slowing the rate of change of power the control delivers to the motor.
Load reactors should be installed as close to the control as possible. Selection should be
based on the motor nameplate FLA value.
Receiving & Installation 3-5MN715
AC Main Circuit
Power DisconnectA power disconnect should be installed between the input power service and the control
for a fail safe method to disconnect power. The control will remain in a powered-up
condition until all input power is removed from the control and the internal bus voltage is
depleted.
Protective DevicesRecommended fuse sizes are based on the following:
115% of maximum continuous current for time delay.
150% of maximum continuous current for Fast or Very Fast action.
Note: These general size recommendations do not consider harmonic currents or
ambient temperatures greater than 40°C.
Be sure a suitable input power protection device is installed. Use the recommended
circuit breaker or fuses listed in tables 3-2 through NO TAG (Wire Size and Protection
Devices). Input and output wire size is based on the use of copper conductor wire rated
at 75 °C. The table is specified for NEMA B motors.

Reduced Input Voltage Derating All power ratings stated in Section 6 are for the stated nominal AC input
voltages (230, 460 or 575VAC). The power rating of the control must be reduced when
operating at a reduced input voltage. The amount of reduction is the ratio of the voltage
change.
Examples:
A 10hp, 230VAC control operating at 208VAC has a reduced power rating of 9.04hp.
10HP
208VAC
230VAC

Likewise, a 10hp, 460VAC control operating at 380VAC has a reduced power rating of
8.26hp.
10HP
380VAC
460VAC
+ 8.26hp
To obtain the full output rating of 10hp in either case requires a 15hp Control.
380-400VAC Operation Be sure all power to the control is disconnected before proceeding.
Size A, B, B2, C2 and D2 controls may be used directly with a 380-400VAC power
source, control modification is not necessary.
Size C, D, E, F and G controls all require modification for operation on the reduced line
voltage.

Section 1General Information
Single Phase Input Power Considerations Single phase operation of G and H size controls is not possible.
Single phase AC input power can be used to power the control instead of three phase for
control sizes A, B, B2, C, C2, D, D2, E and F. The specifications and control sizes are
listed in Section 6 of this manual. If single phase power is to be used, the rated
Horsepower of the control may have to be reduced (derated). In addition, power wiring
and jumper changes are required. Single phase 3 wire connections are standard in the
USA. However, single phase 2 wire connection is used in most of the world. Both
connections types are shown.
Single phase rating wire size and protection devices are listed in Tables 3-6 and 3-7.
Single Phase Control Derating: Single phase power derating requires that the continuous and peak current ratings
of the control be reduced by the following percentages:
1.1-2 hp 230 and 460VAC controls:
No derating required.
2.3-25 hp (Size B, B2 and C2) 230 and 460VAC controls:
Derate hp by 40% of the nameplate rating.
3.15 hp (Size C, D2) and Larger 230 and 460VAC controls:
Derate hp by 50% of the nameplate rating.

Section 1General Information
Motor Brake Connections For motors with spring set brakes, connect the brake power leads and the motor power
leads separately. Because the inverter has variable voltage output to the motor, the
inverter may not supply enough power at low frequencies for proper brake operation. If
using a motor with an internally connected brake, the brake power leads must be
connected to a separate power source for proper brake operation.

Selection of Operating Mode (and Connection Diagram)
Several operating modes are available in the Series 15H Inverter control. These
operating modes define the basic motor control setup and the operation of the input and
output terminals. These operating modes are selected by programming the Operating
Mode parameter in the Input programming Block. Available operating modes include:
•Keypad
•Standard Run, 3 Wire Control
•15 Speed, 2 Wire Control
•Fan Pump 2 Wire Control Mode
•Fan Pump 3 Wire Control Mode
•Serial
•Process Control
•3 Speed Analog 2 Wire
•3 Speed Analog 3 Wire
•Electronic Potentiometer 2 Wire
•Electronic Potentiometer 3 Wire
Each mode requires connections to the J4 terminal strip (except the keypad mode, all
connections are optional). The J4 terminal strip is shown in Figure 3-24. The connection
of each input or output signal is described in the following pages.

Analog Inputs and Outputs The analog inputs (voltage or current) are scaled by the Level 2, Output Limits, Min and
Max Output Frequency parameter values.
Two analog inputs are available: analog input #1 (J4-1 and J4-2) and analog input #2
(J4-4 and J4-5) as shown in Figure 3-25. Either analog input #1 or #2 may be grounded
provided the common mode range is not exceeded. Either analog input may be selected
in the Level 1 INPUT block, Command Select parameter value. Analog input #1 is
selected if parameter value “Potentiometer” is selected. Analog input #2 is selected if
parameter value “ 0-10Volts, 0-5 Volts or 4-20mA” is selected.

ANA 3Wire, EPOT-2 Wire or EPOT-3 Wire (not Keypad or 15 Speed).
The single ended analog input #1 can be used in one of three ways. Speed command
(Level 1 Input block, Command Select=Potentiometer). Process Feedback (Level 2
Process Control block, Process Feedback=Potentiometer). Setpoint Source (Level 2
Process Control block, Setpoint Source=Potentiometer).
When using Analog Input #1, the respective parameter must be set to
“POTENTIOMETER”.

1.Connect the wires from the 5KW pot at the J4 terminal strip. One end of the pot
is connected to J4-1 (analog ground) and the other end is connected to J4-3
(reference voltage).
2.Connect the wiper of the pot to J4-2. The voltage across terminals J4-1 and
J4-2 is the speed command input.
Analog Input #2Analog input #2 accepts a 0-5VDC, 0-10VDC or 4-20 mA command. The operating
(Differential)mode is defined in the Level 1 Input block OPERATING MODE parameter.
Note: Analog Input #2 is used with Standard Run 3-Wire, Fan Pump 2 Wire, Fan
Pump 3 Wire, Process Control, 3 SPD ANA 2Wire, 3 SPD ANA 3Wire,
EPOT -2 Wire or EPOT-3 Wire (not Keypad, 15 Speed or Serial modes).
Note: Analog Input #2 can be connected for single ended operation by grounding
either of the inputs, provided the common mode voltage range is not
exceeded. The common mode voltage can be measured with a voltmeter.
Apply the maximum command voltage to analog input 2 (J4-4, 5). Measure
the AC and DC voltage across J4-1 to J4-4. Add the AC and DC readings
together. Measure the AC and DC voltage from J4-1 to J4-5. Add the AC and
DC readings together.
If either of these measurement totals exceeds a total of ±15 volts, then the
common mode voltage range has been exceeded. If the common mode
voltage range has been exceeded, the solution is either to change the
command voltage source or isolate the command voltage with a commercially
available signal isolator.

Section 1General Information
Analog OutputsTwo programmable analog outputs are provided on J4-6 and J4-7. These outputs are
scaled 0 - 5 VDC (1mA maximum output current) and can be used to provide real-time
status of various control conditions. The return for these outputs is J4-1 analog ground.
Each output function is programmed in the Level 1 Output block, Analog Out #1 or #2
parameter values. The scaling of each output is programmable in the Level 1 Output
block, Analog Scale #1 or #2.
Serial Operating Mode The Serial operating mode requires one of the optional Serial Interface expansion boards
(RS232, RS422 or RS485). Installation and operation information for these serial
expansion boards is provided in Serial Communications expansion board manual
MN1310. This manual is shipped with the serial expansion boards.

Section 1General Information
Keypad Operating Mode (see Figure 3-26)
The Keypad operating mode allows the control to be operated from the keypad. In this
mode no control connection wiring is required. However, the Enable, Stop and External
Trip inputs may optionally be used. All other opto inputs remain inactive. However, the
analog outputs and opto-outputs remain active at all times.
For operation in Keypad mode, set the Level 1 Input block, Operating Mode parameter to
Keypad.
To use the Enable input, J4-8 must be connected and the Local Enable INP parameter in
the Level 2 Protection block must be set to ON. The Enable line is normally closed.
When opened, the motor will COAST to a stop. When the enable line is again closed, the
motor will not start until a new direction command is received from the keypad.
To use the Stop input, J4-11 must be connected and the Level 1 Keypad Setup block,
LOC. Hot Start parameter must be set to ON. The Stop line is normally closed. When
opened, the motor will COAST or REGEN to a stop depending upon the setting of Level 1
Keypad Setup block Keypad Stop Key parameter value. Closing the input will
immediately start the motor.
The External Trip input is used to cause a fault condition during a motor over temperature
condition. The External Trip input (J4-16) must be connected and the External Trip
parameter in the Level 2 Protection block must be set to ON. When J4-16 is opened, the
motor will coast to a stop and an External Trip fault will be displayed on the keypad.
Figure 3-26 Keypad Control Connection Diagram

External Trip InputTerminal J4-16 is available for connection to a normally closed thermostat or overload
relay in all operating modes as shown in Figure 3-36. The thermostat or overload relay
should be a dry contact type with no power available from the contact. If the motor
thermostat or overload relay activates, the control will automatically shut down and give
an External Trip fault. The optional relay (CR1) shown provides the isolation required
and the N.O. contact is open when power is applied to the relay and the motor is cold. If
the motor thermostat is tripped, CR1 is de-energized and the N.O. contact closes.
Connect the External Trip Input wires (N.O. relay contact) to J4-16 and J4-17. Do not
place these wires in the same conduit as the motor power leads.
To activate the External Trip input, the External Trip parameter in the Level 2 Protection
Block must be set to “ON”.

Opto-Isolated OutputsTwo programmable opto isolated outputs are available at terminals J4-19 through J4-22.
See Figure 3-39. Each output may be programmed to represent one output condition.
The output conditions are defined in Section 4 of this manual.
The opto isolated outputs may be configured for sinking or sourcing 60 mA each, as
shown in Figure 3-39. However, both must be configured the same. The maximum
voltage from opto output to common when active is 1.0 VDC (TTL compatible). The
equivalent circuit for the opto isolated outputs is shown in Figure 3-40.
If the opto outputs are used to directly drive a relay, a flyback diode rated at 1A, 100 V
(IN4002 or equivalent) minimum should be connected across the relay coil.
Each opto output is programmed in the Output programming block.

Pre-Operation ChecklistCheck of Electrical Items
1.Verify AC line voltage at source matches control rating.
2.Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness and
compliance to codes.
3.Verify control and motor are grounded to each other and the control is
connected to earth ground.
4.Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5.Be certain all brake coils, contactors and relay coils have noise suppression.
This should be an R-C filter for AC coils and reverse polarity diodes for DC
coils. MOV type transient suppression is not adequate.
Check of Motor and Couplings
1.Verify freedom of motion of motor shaft.
2.Verify that the motor coupling is tight without backlash.
3.Verify the holding brakes if any, are properly adjusted to fully release and set to
the desired torque value.
Power Up ProcedureIf you are not familiar with programming Baldor controls, refer to Section 4 of this manual
before you apply power to the control.
Note: The following procedure adjusts the minimum recommended parameter
values to allow operation of the control in Keypad mode for initial start-up only.
1.Verify that any enable inputs to J4-8 are open.
2.Turn power on. Be sure no faults are displayed on the keypad display.
3.Set the Level 1 Input block, Operating Mode to “Keypad”.
4.Be sure the Level 2 Protection block, Local Enable INP parameter is OFF and
the Level 2 Protection block, External Trip parameter is OFF.
5.Set the Level 2 Output Limits block, “Operating Zone” parameter as desired
(STD CONST TQ, STD VAR TQ, QUIET CONST TQ or QUIET VAR TQ).
Note: JP1 is in position 2–3 as shipped from the factory (<120Hz operation).
For operation with MAX Output FREQ >120Hz, change the position of
JP1 to pins 1–2. Refer to Figure 3-1 for jumper location.
8.If the desired peak current limit setting is different than is automatically set by
the Operating Zone, set the Level 2 Output Limits block, “PK Current Limit”
parameter as desired.
9.Enter the following motor data in the Level 2 Motor Data block parameters:
Motor Voltage (input)
Motor Rated Amps (FLA)
Motor Rated Speed (base speed)
Motor Rated Frequency
Motor Mag Amps (no load current)
10. If External Dynamic Brake hardware is used, set the Level 2 Brake Adjust
block, “Resistor Ohms” and “Resistor Watts” parameters.
11. Set the Level 1 V/HZ Boost block, “V/HZ Profile” parameter for the correct V/Hz
ratio for your application.
12. If the load is a high initial starting torque type, the torque boost and accel time
may need to be increased. Set the Level 1 V/HZ Boost block, “Torque Boost”
and the Level 1 Accel/Decel Rate block, “Accel Time #1” as required.
13. Select and program additional parameters to suit your application.
The control is now ready for use in keypad mode or the terminal strip may be wired and
the programming changed for another operating mode.

If the control is configured for remote or serial control, the LOCAL Mode must be
activated before the control may be operated from the keypad. To activate the LOCAL
Mode, first the motor must be stopped using the keypad STOP key (if enabled), remote
commands or serial commands.
Note: Pressing the keypad STOP key (if enabled) will automatically issue a motor
When the motor has stopped, the LOCAL Mode is activated by pressing the “LOCAL”
key. Selection of the LOCAL Mode overrides any remote or serial control inputs except
for the External Trip input, Local Enable Input or STOP input.
The control can operate the motor in three (3) different ways from the keypad.
1.JOG Command.
2.Speed adjustment with Keypad entered values.
3.Speed adjustment using the Keypad arrow keys.

When the output frequency is less than the Zero SPD Set PT, the opto output
becomes active. This is useful in applications where a motor brake will be interlocked
into the operation of the motor control.
A frequency band within which the at speed opto output becomes active (turns on). For
example, if the at speed band is set to ±5Hz the opto output becomes active when the
output frequency to the motor is within 5Hz of the commanded motor frequency. This
is useful when another machine must not start (or stop) until the motor reaches
operating speed.
The frequency at which the at set speed opto output becomes active (turns on). When
the frequency is greater than the set speed point parameter, the opto output becomes
active. This is useful when another machine must not start (or stop) until the motor

Represents the point on the V/Hz profile where output voltage becomes constant with
increasing output frequency. This is the point at which the motor changes from
constant or variable torque to constant horsepower operation. In some cases the
Max Output Volts and CTRL Base Freq values can be manipulated to provide a wider
constant torque or wider constant horsepower speed range than is normally available
with the motor.
Adjusts the amount of motor starting torque. The boost adjustment alters the output
voltage to the motor from the normal voltage value by increasing or decreasing the
starting voltage by fixed values as defined by the V/Hz profile. The factory setting is
suitable for most applications. Increasing the boost may cause the motor to overheat.
If adjustment is required, increase the boost in small increments until the motor shaft
just starts to rotate with maximum load applied.
The Dynamic Boost parameter can be adjusted to provide more or less running torque
from the motor than is available with the factory setting. The boost adjustment alters
the output voltage to the motor from the normal voltage value by increasing or
decreasing the voltage per frequency unit as defined by the V/Hz profile.
Compensates for varying load conditions during normal operation. This parameter sets
the maximum allowable variation in output frequency under varying load conditions
(changes of output current). As motor current increases toward 100% of Motor Rated
Amps, output frequency is automatically increased to compensate for slip.
Sets the Volts/Frequency ratio of the control output (to the motor) for all values of output
voltage versus output frequency up to the control base frequency. Because motor
voltage is related to motor current, motor voltage can then be related to motor torque.
A change in the V/Hz profile can adjust how much torque is available from the motor
at various speeds.

Troubleshooting
The Baldor Series 15H Control requires very little maintenance, if any, and should provide
years of trouble free operation when installed and applied correctly. Occasional visual
inspection and cleaning should be considered to ensure tight wiring connections and to
remove dust, dirt, or foreign debris which can reduce heat dissipation.
Operational failures called “Faults” will be displayed on the keypad display as they occur.
A comprehensive list of these faults, their meaning and how to access the fault log and
diagnostic information is provided later in this section. Troubleshooting information is
provided in table format with corrective actions later in this section.
Before attempting to service this equipment, all input power must be removed from the
control to avoid the possibility of electrical shock. The servicing of this equipment should
be handled by a qualified electrical service technician experienced in the area of high
power electronics.
It is important to familiarize yourself with the following information before attempting any
troubleshooting or service of the control. Most troubleshooting can be performed using
only a digital voltmeter having at least 1 meg Ohm input impedance. In some cases, an
oscilloscope with 5 MHZ minimum bandwidth may be useful. Before contacting Baldor,
check that all power and control wiring is correct and installed according to the
recommendations in this manual.

Section 1General Information
Electrical Noise Considerations
All electronic devices are vulnerable to significant electronic interference signals
(commonly called “Electrical Noise”). At the lowest level, noise can cause intermittent
operating errors or faults. From a circuit standpoint, 5 or 10 millivolts of noise may cause
detrimental operation. For example, analog speed and torque inputs are often scaled at 5
to 10VDC maximum with a typical resolution of one part in 1,000. Thus, noise of only 5
mV represents a substantial error.
At the extreme level, significant noise can cause damage to the drive. Therefore, it is
advisable to prevent noise generation and to follow wiring practices that prevent noise
generated by other devices from reaching sensitive circuits. In a control, such circuits
include inputs for speed, torque, control logic, and speed and position feedback, plus
outputs to some indicators and computers.
Relay and Contactor Coils
Among the most common sources of noise are the coils of contactors and relays. When
these highly inductive coil circuits are opened, transient conditions often generate spikes
of several hundred volts in the control circuit. These spikes can induce several volts of
noise in an adjacent wire that runs parallel to a control-circuit wire. Figure 5-1 illustrates
noise suppression for AC and DC relay coils.
Figure 5-1 AC and DC Coil Noise Suppression
AC Coil
Wires between Controls and Motors
Output leads from a typical 460VAC drive controller contain rapid voltage rises created by
power semiconductors switching 650V in less than a microsecond, 1,000 to 10,000 times
a second. These noise signals can couple into sensitive drive circuits. If shielded pair
cable is used, the coupling is reduced by nearly 90%, compared to unshielded cable.
Even input AC power lines contain noise and can induce noise in adjacent wires. In some
cases, line reactors may be required.
To prevent induced transient noise in signal wires, all motor leads and AC power lines
should be contained in rigid metal conduit, or flexible conduit. Do not place line
conductors and load conductors in same conduit. Use one conduit for 3 phase input
wires and another conduit for the motor leads. The conduits should be grounded to form
a shield to contain the electrical noise within the conduit path. Signal wires - even ones in
shielded cable should never be placed in the conduit with motor power wires.

Troubleshooting 5-9MN715
Section 1General Information
Special Drive Situations
For severe noise situations, it may be necessary to reduce transient voltages in the wires
to the motor by adding load reactors. Load reactors are installed between the control and
motor.
Reactors are typically 3% reactance and are designed for the frequencies encountered in
PWM drives. For maximum benefit, the reactors should be mounted in the drive
enclosure with short leads between the control and the reactors.
Control EnclosuresMotor controls mounted in a grounded enclosure should also be connected to earth
ground with a separate conductor to ensure best ground connection. Often grounding
the control to the grounded metallic enclosure is not sufficient. Usually painted surfaces
and seals prevent solid metallic contact between the control and the panel enclosure.
Likewise, conduit should never be used as a ground conductor for motor power wires or
signal conductors.
Special Motor Considerations
Motor frames must also be grounded. As with control enclosures, motors must be
grounded directly to the control and plant ground with as short a ground wire as possible.
Capacitive coupling within the motor windings produces transient voltages between the
motor frame and ground. The severity of these voltages increases with the length of the
ground wire. Installations with the motor and control mounted on a common frame, and
with heavy ground wires less than 10 ft. long, rarely have a problem caused by these
motor–generated transient voltages.
Analog Signal WiresAnalog signals generally originate from speed and torque controls, plus DC tachometers
and process controllers. Reliability is often improved by the following noise reduction
techniques:
•Use twisted-pair shielded wires with the shield grounded at the drive end only.
•Route analog signal wires away from power or control wires (all other wiring types).
•Cross power and control wires at right angles (90°) to minimize inductive noise
coupling.
