.5.8 Grounding precautions

Leakage currents flow in the inverter. To prevent an electric shock, the inverter and

motor must be grounded.

Use the dedicated ground terminal to ground the inverter. (Do not use the screw in

the casing, chassis, etc.)
Use a tinned* crimping terminal to connect the earth cable. When tightening the
screw, be careful not to break the threads.
*Plating should not include zinc.

Use the thickest possible ground cable. Use the cable whose size is equal to or

greater than that indicated in the following table, and minimize the cable length.
The grounding point should be as near as possible to the inverter.
