Remove the main cover before connecting the terminal blocks as follows.
2-3-1 Basic Connection
1.Always connect power to the L1/R, L2/S, and L3/T main circuit power terminals on the drive. Connecting power to
another terminal will damage the drive. Check that the input voltage is within the maximum allowable voltage marked
on the nameplate, etc.
2.Always wire the ground terminal to ground to prevent problems such as fire or electric shock and to minimize noise.
3.Use a reliable crimp terminal for connection between a power terminal and a power wire.
4.After terminating the wiring connection, confirm the following:
a. Confirm that the connection is correct.
b. Confirm that all necessary connections have been made.
c. Confirm that there is no short-circuit or ground fault between the terminals and wire.
5.Connection modification after power-on.
The smoothing capacitor in the direct current portion of the main circuit cannot be discharged immediately after the
power is turned off. To insure safety, use a multimeter to check that the direct current (DC) voltage is lowered to the
safety range (25V DC or less) after the charge lamp goes off. Also, confirm that the voltage is zero before shortcircuiting. The residual voltage (electric charge) may cause sparks.
WARNING
Always connect a ground wire. Electric shock or fire may result. Ensure that a trained specialist
performs all wiring. Confirm that the power is turned off (open) before beginning any wiring operations.
Electrical shock may result.

drives of 15 Hp or less)
braking unit (option) or power regeneration unit
(option).
(1) Main circuit power terminals (L1/R, L2/S, L3/T)
1.Connect these terminals to the power supply via a molded-case circuit breaker or ground-leakage circuit breaker for
circuit protection. Phase-sequence matching is unnecessary.
2.To insure safety, a magnetic contactor should be used to disconnect the drive from the power supply when the drive
protective function activates.
3.Use control circuit terminal FWD/REV or the RUN/STOP key on the keypad panel to start or stop the drive. The main
circuit power should be used to start or stop the drive only if absolutely necessary and then should not be used
more than once every hour.
4.If you need to connect these terminals to a single-phase power supply, please contact the factory.
(2) Drive output terminals (U, V, W)
1.Connect these terminals to a 3-phase motor in the correct phase sequence. If the direction of motor rotation is
incorrect, exchange any two of the U, V, and W phases.
2.Do not connect a power factor correction capacitor or surge absorber to the drive output.
3.If the cable from the drive to the motor is very long, a high-frequency current may be generated by stray capacitance
between the cables and result in an overcurrent trip of the drive, an increase in leakage current, or a reduction in
current indication precision.
When a motor is driven by a PWM-type drive, the motor terminals may be subject to surge voltage generated by drive
element switching. If the motor cable (with 460V series motors, in particular) is particularly long, surge voltage will
deteriorate motor insulation. To prevent this, use the following guidelines:
Drives 7.5 HP and larger
Motor Insulation Level1000V1300V1600V
460 VAC Input Voltage66 ft (20 m)328 ft (100 m)1312 ft (400 m) *
230 VAC Input Voltage1312 ft (400 m) *1312 ft (400 m) *1312 ft (400 m) *
Drives 5 HP and smaller
Motor Insulation Level1000V1300V1600V
460 VAC Input Voltage66 ft (20 m)165 ft (50 m) *165 ft (50 m) *
230 VAC Input Voltage328 ft (100 m) *328 ft (100 m) *328 ft (100 m) *
* For this case the cable length is determined by secondary effects and not voltage spiking.
Note: When a motor protective thermal O/L relay is inserted between the drive and the motor, the thermal O/L relay may
malfunction (particularly in the 460V series), even when the cable length is 165 feet (50m) or less. To correct, insert a
filter or reduce the carrier frequency. (Use function code “F26 Motor sound”.)
The drive operates even if power is not provided to these
terminals. If a protective circuit operates, and the mag-
netic contactor on the drive’s power is opened (off), the
inverter control circuit power, the alarm output (30A, B,
and C), and the keypad panel display goes off. To prevent
this, the main circuit AC power must also be supplied as
auxiliary control power to the auxiliary control power input
terminals (R0 and T0).
1.To ensure effective noise reduction when using a
radio noise filter, the output power from the filter must go
to the auxiliary control power input terminals. If these
terminals are connected to the input side of the filter, the
noise reduction effect deteriorates.
(4) DC reactor terminals (P1 and P(+))
1.Before connecting a power factor correcting DC
reactor (optional) to these terminals, remove the
factory-installed jumper.
2.If a DC reactor is not used, do not remove the jumper.
Note: For drives of 100 Hp or more, the DC reactor is
provided as a separate standard component and should
always be connected to the terminals. DC reactor is
provided as open type, enclosure to be provided by other.
CAUTION
A DC reactor does not come with drives rated less
than 100 Hp, however, use a DC reactor or AC
reactor under the following conditions otherwise the
drive may be damaged or malfunction.
1)Used when the capacity of the power supply transformer exceeds 500k VA and exceeds the rated
capacity of the drive tenfold.
2.Used when a thyrister converter is connected as a
common load on the same transformer.
3.Used to prevent a drive OV trip from occuring when
the power factor capacitor in the power line is
switched on and off.
4.Used when the voltage imbalance exceds 3%.
Fig. 2-3-2 Connection the auxiliary control-power input terminals
(6) Terminals for DC link circuit (P(+) and N(-))
The P11 drive of 20 Hp or more, does not contain a drive
circuit for the braking resistor. To improve braking
performance, an external braking unit (option) and an
external braking resistor (option) must be installed.
1.Connect terminals P(+) and N(-) on the braking unit to
terminals P(+) and N(-) on the drive. The wiring length
(twisted pair cables, etc.) should not exceed 16.5 feet
(5m).
2.Connect terminals P(+) and DB on the braking
resistor to terminals P(+) and DB on the braking unit.
The wiring length (twisted pair cables, etc.) should
not exceed 33 feet (10m). If terminals P(+) and N(-) on
the drive are not used, leave the terminals open. If
P(+) is connected to N(-), or the braking resistor is
connected directly, the resistor will burn up.
3.Auxiliary contacts 1 and 2 of the braking unit have
polarity.
4.Refer to DB unit instruction book for paralleled
resistors.
Note: Braking units and resistors are rated on degree of
braking, duration and system frequency of braking cycle.
Verify units meet application requirements.

(5) Terminals for external braking resistor (P(+) and
DB) (15 Hp or less)
The P11 drive 15 Hp or less, does not contain a braking
resistor. To improve braking performance, an external
braking resistor must be installed.
1.Connect terminals P(+) and DB on the external
braking resistor to terminals P(+) and DB on the drive.
2.The wiring length (twisted pair cables, etc.) should
not exceed 16.5 feet (5m).
