Voltage Potentials

Voltage potentials for the internal drive circuitry vary from 325 Volts
above to 325 Volts below earth ground for a 240 Volt input. Voltages
can reach 450 VDC within the drive. All circuits, including the
connections on the front panel, should be considered “hot” when
power is connected and for the time specified in the warning on the
front of the drive after power is removed.

Intro

ATTENTION: DC bus capacitors may retain hazardous
voltages for several minutes after input power has been
removed, but will normally discharge in several seconds.
Measure the DC bus voltage to verify it has reached a safe
level each time power is removed before working on the
drive; or wait for the time indicated in the warning on the
front of the drive. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
