3.1.4 Verifying Power Module Input Ratings Match Supplied Power

It is important to verify that plant power will meet the input power requirements of the

drive’s Power Module circuitry. Refer to table 2.1 for input power rating specifications.

Be sure input power to the drive corresponds to the drive nameplate voltage and

frequency.

3.2 Wiring Requirements for the Drive

Certain drive requirements should be checked before continuing with the drive

installation. Wire sizes, branch circuit protection, encoder feedback (for FVC

regulation), and E-stop wiring (see chapter 7) are all areas that need to be evaluated.

3.2.1 Meeting Terminal Strip Input and Output Specifications

The terminal strip on the Regulator board provides terminals for 24 VDC power for the

eight remote control inputs. Refer to tables A.3 and A.4 for control input and output

specifications.

3.2.2 Determining Wire Size Requirements

Wire size should be determined based on the size of conduit openings, and applicable
local, national, and international codes (e.g., NEC/CEC regulations).

3.2.2.1 Conduit Entry Opening Sizes

It is important to determine the size of the conduit openings so that the wire planned

for a specific entry point will fit through the opening. Conduit opening sizes are shown

in figures 4.1 through 4.7.

3.2.2.2 Recommended Power Wire Sizes

Input power wiring should be sized according to applicable codes to handle the drive’s

continuous-rated input current. Output wiring should be sized according to applicable

codes to handle the drive’s continuous-rated output current. See tables 3.3 through

3.8 for recommended power wire sizes.

!

ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all applicable

local, national, and international codes. Failure to observe this precaution

could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
