1.3Model Numbers
Drive specific data, such as horsepower (or output current), regenerative or nonregenerative type, line voltage, chassis or enclosure type, software version and UL
certification, can be determined by the drive model number. The model number
structure is shown in figure 1.2.
Up to 300 HP, drives configured for 460 VAC input can be converted to 230 VAC input
at one half the 460 VAC horsepower rating by installing a 460 to 230 Volt Conversion
Kit (M/N 916FK0100, 1-60 HP, or M/N 916FK0200, 75-150 HP). Instruction manual

Minimum clearances must be maintained when the drive is mounted within a cabinet
as shown in figure 2.1. This allows adequate ventilation for the drive.
Regardless of these placement guidelines, the user is responsible for ensuring that

2.2Install a Transformer
ATTENTION:If an input transformer is installed ahead of the drive, a
power disconnecting device must be installed between the power line
!
Input transformers step up or step down input voltage and can be either auto or
isolation transformer types. Users should consider using an isolation transformer
instead of an auto transformer for the following advantages:
•AC power line disturbances and transients are minimized by an isolation
transformer, thus reducing or eliminating possible damage to solid state
components.
•An isolation transformer provides electrical isolation for the drive from plant power
system grounds. Damaging currents may be avoided in instances where the DC
output is accidentally grounded or where the DC motor circuits are grounded.
and the primary of the transformer. If this power disconnecting device is
a circuit breaker, the circuit breaker trip rating must be coordinated with
the inrush current (10 to 12 times full-load current) of the input
transformer. Distribution system capacity above the maximum
recommended system KV A requires using an isolation transformer , a line
reactor, or other means of adding similar impedance. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment
ATTENTION: Connection of a drive to a transformer with a primary rating
of 2300 VAC or more may require additional input line conditioning.
Contact your local Reliance Electric sales/service office for assistance
when this is required. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
Refer to tables A.1 and A.6 for more information. Reliance offers a series of isolation
transformers suitable for use with the drive. Call you local Reliance Electric sales
office for assistance.
2.3Install an Input Disconnect
ATTENTION:The NEC/CEC requires that an input disconnect be
provided in the incoming power line and either be located within sight of
!
Any fused disconnect or circuit breaker in the incoming AC line must accommodate a
maximum symmetrical AC fault current as indicated in Appendix A of this instruction
manual. Size the disconnect to handle the transformer primary current as well as any
additional loads the disconnect may supply.
Step 1. Install an input disconnect in the incoming power line according to the NEC/
Step 2. Wire this disconnect in the primary circuit of the drive isolation transformer (if

the incoming power line that is located within sight of the drive or that
has provisions for a padlock. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodi ly injury or loss of life.
CEC if not provided with the drive. The disconnect switch should be within
clear view of machine operator and maintenance per s onn el for easy access
and safety. An open-type switch with provisions for a padlock is
recommended.
used).

2.4Install the Motor
Step 1. Verify that the motor is the appropriate rating to use with the drive.
Step 2. Install the DC motor in accordance with its installation instructions.
Step 3. Make sure that coupled applications have proper shaft alignment with the
driven machine or that belted applications have proper sheave/belt alignment
to minimize unnecessary motor loading.
Step 4. If the motor is accessible while it is running, install a protective guard around
all exposed rotating parts.
Step 5. Wire the motor to the drive. Refer to section 2.6.4, “Wire the DC Motor to the
Drive.”
2.5Genera l Wiring Practices
ATTENTION:The user is responsible for conforming to the National
Electric Code (NEC/CEC) and all other applicable local codes. Wiring
!
The drive is designed for AC power entry and DC power exiting at the top and control
and signal wiring entering from the bottom.
practices, grounding, disconnects, and overcurrent protection are of
particular importance. Size and install all wiring in conformance with the
NEC/CEC and all other applicable codes. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Reference signal wiring should be run in a separate conduit isolated from all AC and
DC power and control. Signal wires should not be run in parallel with high voltage or
electrically noisy conductors. Always cross such conductors at 90°. All reference
signals should be wired with either twisted double or twisted triple conductor wire, 2
twists per inch, stranded copper, AWG No. 16, 600 VAC rated, poly-vinyl chloride
insulation, with a temperature range of 40°C to 105°C (104°F to 221°F).
Tachometer feedback and other signal wiring should be run in a separate conduit
isolated from all AC and DC power and logic control. Wiring should be the same as for
the reference signals. For mounting with external contacts and solenoids, coils should
be suppressed to reduce noise.
Important: The maximum recommended wire length from the drive to the motor is
1000 feet.
2.5.1 Ground the Drive and Enclosure, the Motor and the Operator's
Control Station
You must ground both the control and power wiring.
Step 1. Locate the drive ground points as shown in figures 2.8 through 2.13.
Step 2. Run a suitable equipment grounding conductor unbroken from any drive
ground point (see step 1) to the plant ground (grounding electrode). A ring
lug is recommended at the ground point.
Install and Wire the Drive
Step 3. Connect a suitable grounding conductor from each conduit to this drive
ground point.
2-9
Step 4. Connect a suitable equipment grounding conductor to the motor frame, the
transformer enclosure if used, and the drive enclosure. Run this conductor
unbroken to the grounding electrode.
Step 5. Connect the GND (green/ground) wire brought in with the incoming AC
power line to the drive ground point.
Step 6. Tighten chassis ground connections per table 2.1.
