Frame D AC Current Transducers
Installation Instructions
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with DC 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.
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, ensure that all
power to the drive has been removed before performing the following.
ATTENTION: 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.

Step 1: Remove Power
from the Drive
ATTENTION: Remove power before making or breaking cable
connections. When you remove or insert a cable connector with
power applied, an electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can
cause personal injury or property damage by:
• sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine motion
• causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance.
• Remove and lock-out all incoming power to the drive.
