Multiple Drive Installations

In a typical cabinet installation, a single mains line connects to a terminal bus
inside the cabinet. Then from the terminal bus, make individual connections
for Mains and Control power to the corresponding

connector(s) on each

drive

. Be sure to install fuses for each drive between the terminal bus and the

drive.

Tie each drive’s Protective Earth

conductor terminal directly to the system

safety earth location as shown in Figure 20 (for models AR-01xx through AR-
13xx) or Figure 21 (for models AR-20xE and AR-30xE). Under normal
operation, no current should flow through the Protective Earth ground.

Safety Earth Connections

AR-01xx, AR-02xx, AR-04xx, AR-08xx, and AR-13xx

For multiple drive installations, Parker Hannifin recommends a single point or
“star” safety earth configuration. Figure 20 represents a typical star safety
earth connection for Aries models AR-01xx through AR-13xx.

AR-20xE and AR-30xE

Figure 21 represents a typical star safety earth connection for Aries models
AR-20xE and AR-30xE. Note that the AR-20xE and AR-30xE Motor/Power
connector has two Earth ground terminals

⎯one for the motor and one for

input power. Be sure to use the

VAC INPUT POWER

terminal.
