Installation Considerations

Power Supply
Overcurrent
Protection

You are responsible for providing overcurrent protection (via circuit breakers and/or
fuses) for the Vac mains supply and the 24 Vdc bias supply that are connected to
the drive.

Earth
Connections

Ensure the drive and associated servo motor are properly connected to earth.

Cable Separation

Route power and control (signal) cables separately. Schneider recommends a
separation of at least 20 cm. This degree of separation improves the performance
of the system. If a servo motor power cable includes wires for brake control, those
wires have a separate shield which must be connected to earth at both ends of the
cable.

Air Flow

Ensure that there is an adequate flow of cool, filtered air into the bottom of the
switchgear cabinet containing the drive.
