2-2 Installation Method
1. Mounting, dimensional and weight information for all of the inverter models, is covered in Sec. 8-3 of
this manual. Select the model being used and prepare the installation.
2. Securely fasten the product in a vertical upright position on a solid structure with the product
logo facing the front. Do not mount the product upside down or install in a horizontal position
as proper ventilation will be inhibited.
3. As heat is generated during inverter operation, the spaces shown in Fig. 2-2-1 are required to
ensure sufficient cooling. Since heat radiates upward, do not install the product beneath
heat sensitive equipment.
4. During operation, the heat sink may reach a temperature of 90ºC (194ºF), therefore ensure that
the material surrounding the product can withstand this temperature.

EQ5 AC Drive Operations Manual
5. When installing this product in a control panel,
ensure that the ventilation is sufficient to prevent the
ambient temperature of the inverter from exceeding
the specified value. Do not install the product in an
area where there is inadequate ventilation,
6. If two or more inverters must be installed in the
same equipment or control panel, arrange the units
horizontally (side by side) to minimize the effect of
heat. If two or more inverters must be installed
vertically (one on top of the other), place an
insulated plate between the inverters to minimize the
effect of heat.
7. When shipped from the factory, inverters provide
internal cooling inside panel. An inverter of
30HP/CT, 40HP/VT or less can be converted to an
external cooling simply by adding an optional
mounting adapter.
In an external cooling system, the heat sink radiates about 70% of total inverter heat (total
loss) and can be placed outside the control panel (see Fig. 2-2-2). When doing this, ensure
that heat sink surfaces are kept free of foreign matter.
Fig.2-2-2
・In the case of external cooling system, cover the back of the inverter
in order to prevent the exposure of the power capacitor and braking
resistor as electric shock may result.
DANGER
An inverter of 40HP/CT, 50HP/VT or more can be converted to an external cooling type simply by
moving
upper and lower mounting brackets as shown in Fig. 2-2-3. Remove the M6 bracket screws,
move the brackets, then secure the brackets using the M5 case mounting screws. (The
bracket screws are no longer required after changing the bracket mounting position.)
・Ensure that the inverter and heat sink surfaces are kept free of
foreign matter such as lint, paper dust, small chips of wood or metal,
and dust, as
ire may result.

2-3 Electrical Connections
To access the terminal blocks remove the cover in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
2-3-1 Basic Power Electrical Connections
1. Always connect input power to the main circuit power terminals L1/R, L2/S, and L3/T
of the inverter. Check that the input voltage to be applied is within the maximum allowable
voltage marked on the nameplate.
2. Always connect the power output terminals U, V, and W to the motor. Check that output
voltage rating is correct for the motor being used.
DANGER- Do not connect the input voltage to the motor terminals U, V, and W as
extreme damage and / or injury may result.
3. Using the proper wire size and type, always bond the ground terminal to a reliable ground
connection to prevent dangerous situations such as the possibility of fire or electrical shock
and to minimize electrical noise.
4. Use a secure reliable cable crimp connection between the terminal and a cable.
5. After terminating the wiring connection, ensure the following:
a. The connection is correct.
b. All necessary connections have been made.
c. There is no short-circuit or ground fault between terminals and cables.
6. If a wiring change needs to be made after power-up, wait at least 5 minutes before making
any wiring changes. Also ensure that the charge indicating LED is off. This is necessary
because the DC power section capacitor(s) does not discharge immediately after power-down
and maintains lethal voltages. The actual DC voltage may also be checked with a multimeter
and should be 25VDC or less. If short circuiting the DC voltage after power-down, sparks
may occur.
• Always properly ground the inverter otherwise electric shock or fire
may result.
• Ensure that a licensed specialist performs all wiring and that all codes
DANGER
are met.
•Confirm that the power is turned off and that the charge indicator is off
(Wait 5 minutes for 30HP/CT, 40HP/VT and less, 10 minutes for
40HP/CT, 50HP/VT or above) before removing any protective covers as
lethal voltages are present and electrical shock may result.

1. Main circuit input power terminals (L1/R, L2/S, L3/T)
a. For circuit (wiring) protection, connect these terminals to the input power supply using a
molded-case circuit breaker or a ground-fault circuit interrupter. Phase-sequence
matching is unnecessary.
b. To ensure safety, a magnetic contactor should be connected to disconnect the inverter
from the input power supply when the inverter protective function activates.
c. The main circuit input power should be used to start or stop the inverter only if absolutely
necessary and then should not be used more than once every hour.

2. Inverter output terminals (U, V, W)
a. Connect these terminals to a 3-phase motor in the correct phase sequence. If the
direction of motor rotation is incorrect, swap any two of the U, V, and W phases.
b. Do not connect a power factor correction capacitor or surge suppressor to the inverter
output.
c. If the cable from the inverter to the motor is excessively long, a high-frequency current
can be generated by stray capacitance between the cables and result in an overcurrent
trip of the inverter, an increase in leakage current, or a reduction in current indication
precision.
d. When a motor is driven by a PWM-type inverter, the motor terminals may be subject to
surge voltage generated by PWM switching. If the motor cables are excessively long,
particularly the 460V series units, the surge voltage will deteriorate motor insulation
over time. To prevent this, use the following guidelines:
Inverters 7.5HP/CT, 10HP/VT and Higher
Motor Insulation Rating 1000V 1300V 1600V
460 VAC Input Voltage 66 ft (20 m) 328 ft (100 m) 1312 ft (400 m) *
230 VAC Input Voltage 1312 ft (400 m) * 1312 ft (400 m) * 1312 ft (400 m) *
Inverters 5HP/CT/VT and Smaller
Motor Insulation Rating 1000V 1300V 1600V
460 VAC Input Voltage 66 ft (20 m) 165 ft (50 m) * 165 ft (50 m) *
230 VAC Input Voltage 328 ft (100 m) * 328 ft (100 m) * 328 ft (100 m) *
* In 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 inverter and the motor, the
thermal O/L relay may malfunction (particularly in the 460V series units), even when the cable length
is 165 feet (50m) or less. To correct this, insert a filter or reduce the PWM carrier frequency. (Use
function code “F26 Motor sound”.)
3. Auxiliary control-power input terminals (R0 and T0)
The inverter will operate even if power
is not provided to these terminals. If a
protective circuit is activated and the
magnetic contactor on the inverter
power input side is opened (off), the
inverter control circuit power, the alarm
output (30A, B, and C), and the keypad
display will lose power. To prevent this,
the same AC power as supplied to the
main input circuit must be supplied (as
auxiliary control power) to the auxiliary
control - power input terminals (R0 and
T0). (see Fig. 2-3-2)
a. To ensure effective noise reduction
when using an input noise filter, the
output 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 is much less effective.
TECO – Westinghouse Motor Company Power Terminal Designations & Wiring 12
EQ5 AC Drive Operations Manual
b. When the RCD (Residual-current Protective Device) is installed (30HP/CT, 40HP/VT or less), the
terminal R0
and T0 should be connected to the output side of the RCD. If they are connected to the input side,
the RCD will malfunction because the power supply of the inverter is three phase and the
R0 and T0 input is single phase. If it is required to connect terminals R0 and T0 are to the input side
of the RCD, an isolation transformer is required as shown on the Fig. 2-3-2.
4. Connecting a DC link choke to terminals (P1 and P (+))
a. Before connecting a DC link choke to these terminals, remove the
factory-installed jumper. (Fig. 2-3-3)
b. If a DC link choke is not used, do not remove the jumper.
Note: For inverters of 100HP or more, the DC link choke is provided
as separate standard component and should always be
connected. For inverters less than 100 HP, the DC link choke
is not provided and is optional.
4. Connecting an external braking-resistor to terminals (P (+) and DB) (10HP/CT, 15HP/VT or less)
(Fig. 2-3-4). For inverters 10HP/CT, 15HP/VT or less, a built-in braking resistor is connected to
terminals P (+) and DB. If this braking resistor does not provide sufficient thermal capacity (e.g.
high operating duty cycle or high inertia loads), an optional external braking resistor must be
installed to improve braking performance.
a. Remove the internal braking resistor from
terminals P(+) and DB and Insulate the
terminals with adhesive insulation tape, etc.
b. Connect terminals P(+) and DB of the external
braking resistor to terminals P(+) and DB of the
inverter.
c. The wiring (cables twisted or otherwise) should
not exceed 16ft (5m).
6. DC link circuit terminals (P (+) and N (-)) (Fig.2-3-5).

does not contain a drive circuit for the braking
resistor. To improve braking performance, an optional
external braking unit and external braking resistor
must be installed.
a. Connect terminals P and N of the braking unit to terminals P(+) and N(-) of the inverter.
The wiring (cables twisted or otherwise) should not exceed 16ft(5m).
b. Connect terminals P and DB of the braking resistor to terminals P and DB of the braking
unit. The wiring (cables twisted or otherwise) should not exceed 33ft (10m).
c. Connect terminals P and DB of the braking
resistor to terminals P and DB of the
braking unit. The wiring (cables twisted or

DANGER- When terminals P (+) and N (-) of
the inverter are not used, leave terminals
open. If P(+) is connected to N (-) the bus
voltage will be shorted, or if braking resistor is
connected directly, the resistor can cause
fire.
d. Auxiliary contacts 1 and 2 of the braking
unit are polarity sensitive. To connect the
braking unit, refer to the "TECO Inverter
Speecon Braking Unit Manual”.
7. Inverter ground terminal
To ensure safety and noise reduction, always bond the inverter ground terminal. Also,
metal frames of electrical equipment must be grounded as specified in applicable codes
The connection procedure is as follows:
a. Ground all metal frames and chassis to a ground terminal (Ground resistance: 10).
b. In accordance with applicable codes, use a suitable ground cable to connect the inverter
system to ground.
Fig. 2-3-5 Connection (15HP or more)
8. Placement of connector (CN UX) for inverters 40HP/CT, 50HP/VT and higher.
When an inverter of 40HP or higher is connected to an input voltage listed in Table 2-3-2,
disconnect the auxiliary power connector CN UX from U1 and connect to U2.
(Refer to Fig. 2-3-7)

50 380 - 398
60 380 - 430
9. Placement of fan power connector (CN RXTX) for inverters 40HP/CT, 50HP/VT or higher.
An inverter of 40HP/CT, 50HP/VT or greater uses an AC cooling fan. When the inverter is being
operated with DC Input power, the fan must still be energized from an AC power
source. To do this, position the fan connector (CN RTXT) as shown in Fig. 2-3-9
and provide AC voltage to auxiliary input terminals R0 and T0. For the (CN RTXT)
connector placement method, see Fig. 2-3-7.
Note: When shipped, the fan connector (CN RXTX) is connected to L1/R-L3/T. Do not change the
connector position unless DC power is being used.

(1) Analog input terminals (13,12,V2,C1,and 11)
a. These terminals receive analog signals that may be affected by external noise. The cables should be as short
as possible (66ft /20m or less), be shielded twisted cable, and must be properly grounded. If the cables are
affected by externally induced noise, the shielding effect may be improved by connecting the shield to terminal
[11]. (see Fig. 2-3-8)
b. If contacts are used to connect to these circuits, twin (bifurcated type) contacts for handling low level
signals must be used. A contact must not be connected to terminal [11].
c. If an external analog signal output device is connected to these terminals, it may malfunction as a
result of inverter noise. To prevent malfunction, connect a ferrite core or capacitor to the external analog
signal output device as shown in Fig. 2-3-9.

(2) Digital input terminals (FWD, REV, X1 to X9, and CM)
a. Digital input terminals FWD, REV and X1 to
X9 are generally turned on or off by switching
the input to (P24) +24V (source logic) or to
(CM) 0V (sink logic). If the digital input
terminals are turned on or off by a PLC with
open collector using an external power supply,
a resulting bypass circuit may cause the
inverter to malfunction. To prevent this, connect
the PLC terminal as shown in Fig. 2-3-10.
b. When using a dry contact input such as a
relay, highly reliable contacts capable of
handling low level signals must be used.
(3) Transistor output terminals (Y1 to Y4, CME)
a. Refer to the circuit configuration in Table 2-3-3 Transistor Output and confirm the polarity of the
external power supply.
b. When connecting a control relay to the transistor output, connect a transient absorbing diode
to both ends of the relays’ exciting coil.
(4) Sink or Source Logic selection
a. The slide switch SW1 located on the control board, sets the digital inputs for sink or source
input logic. The factory default is the sink position and is most commonly used in the US while
source logic is common in Europe.
b. For proper input digital connections, refer to the EQ 5 wiring diagram as well as other sections
covering this subject. Ensure that the correct position is selected for a particular application.
(5) Others
a. To prevent faulty operation as a result of noise, the control terminal cables should be placed as
far as possible from the main power cables.
b. The control cables inside the inverter must be secured to prevent direct contact with the main
power section, such as the power terminal block.
(6) Wiring of the control circuit (40HP/CT, 50HP/VT or greater)
a. Pull out the control circuit wiring along the left panel as shown in Fig. 2-3-11.
b. Secure the cable binding hole A on the left wall of the power terminal block using a cable tie.
Note: The cable tie should not exceed 0.14 ”(3.5mm) in width and 0.06” (1.5mm) in thickness.
c. When an optional PC card is mounted, the signal cables must be secured to cable binding
hole B.
